==Trivia==
* There is a {{tc|Swimmer}} here who tells the {{player}} that he can swim all the way from [[Galar]] to [[Kalos]]. This is a double reference to the famous {{wp|English Channel#History of Channel crossings|English Channel crossing swims}} between {{wp|England}} and {{wp|France}}, and to {{pkmn|X and Y}}, where the player can meet a similar Swimmer who said he could swim all the way from Kalos to [[Hoenn]].
