==Route description==
There are various differences among the underwater routes. What remains the same, however, is that they follow the general path of the deep water above them. Sometimes, there will be {{DL|Tall grass|seaweed}} along the path; this is very similar to the tall grass of the surface world, where [[wild Pokémon]] appear. This is the only situation where the {{DL|Poké Ball|Dive Ball}} operates at full effectiveness{{tt|*|Until Generation IV, where it is as effective on the surface}}.

While underwater players can reach otherwise unreachable areas of the routes they are on, which often hide rare items. In {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, it is one of two ways to obtain [[shard]]s, which can later be exchanged for [[evolutionary stone]]s, the other being to obtain them from wild Pokémon that are holding them.
