Route 118 (Japanese: １１８ばんどうろ Route 118) is a route in central Hoenn, connecting Mauville City, Route 119, and Route 123.

Route 118 in Ruby and Sapphire

Route description

Western segment

From Mauville, the route is straightforward, traveling directly east-west between the city limits and the west bank of the river. The western half of this path is composed of fields while the eastern portion is a sandy beach.

When Trainers first encounter the river, it is impassable, as they are often lacking HM03 (Surf) at this point. After acquiring the move and the ability to use it outside of battle, Trainers can cross the river to reach the eastern half.

The short river path runs directly east-west and contains no Trainers, leaving wild Pokémon as the only concern.

Eastern segment

Route 118 comes ashore on another beach containing a pair of Fisherman. Gabby and Ty are often found in the area as well, looking for up-and-coming Pokémon Trainers to battle and interview.

The route continues east, along a northern ledge. After passing through a large patch of grass, Route 118 comes to a three-way intersection. The northern path leads to Route 119, while the eastern path runs through another large patch of grass, before becoming Route 123.

Heading north from the intersection, a four-way intersection allows access to the upper areas that overlook the main path of Route 118. To the west is another Trainer, a small area of grass, and a soft soil patch containing two Sitrus Berry plants. To the east is yet another grass patch and a Hyper Potion. Continuing north, the path becomes Route 119.

Trivia

• Route 118 is the first route in the Pokémon world that has two tracks of background music. The music changes depending on whether the player is in the route's eastern half where the music is the same as Route 119, or the western half which shares its music with Routes 110, 111, 112, 114, and 117.
• A glitch, only in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, allowed players to make Aroma Lady Rose walk over the ledge to start a battle. This was corrected in Pokémon Emerald, as she was part of a Double Battle by then.
