Route 124

Route 124 underwater area

On this route you will be surfing east to reach Mossdeep City where your seventh Gym battle will take place. Due to the size of the route it will be difficult to find enemy trainers or you bearings so if necessary use the Hoenn map in the PokéNav on this or any of the other sea routes you will be exploring. The only house on this route belongs to the Diving Treasure Hunter who will trade you Evolutionary stone (which doesn't include the Moon Stone or Sun Stone) in exchange for a shard that matches the color of the stone it is traded for.

The dark patches of water seen on this route are places that you can use Dive on to go underwater, but you will need to beat the next gym before you can do that. Once that's done you can find exclusive Pokémon as well as underwater routes to find shards and invisible items that you can use the Itemfinder with such as Heart Scales. From the house just head east and you'll quickly be in Mossdeep City.

Mossdeep City

Before you head to gym you can collect some items first. Mossdeep City is the only city in the Hoenn where its Poké Mart sells a Net Ball or Dive Ball. The house in the upper-left corner belongs to Steven Stone. When you enter he will give you HM08 (Dive) which can be used outside of battle once you beat the Mossdeep Gym. Outside of Steven's house is a boy who will give a King's Rock if you agree to keep this a secret from Steven. Next climb the first part of the hill and head northwest to find the lone house there belonging to a fisherman who will give you the Super Rod.

Mossdeep Space Center

The Space Center is the largest building in Mossdeep City that monitors the weather and launches rockets. Talk to the Sailor next to the rocket schematics and he will give you the Sun Stone.
