Location of Victory Road in Hoenn.
Pokémon world locations

Hoenn's Victory Road (Japanese: チャンピオンロード Champion Road) is, much like in other regions, the route that takes Pokémon League-bound Trainers to the Elite Four. Its two entrances are located within Ever Grande City.

Victory Road begins as a complex cave with bridges leading across rock formations. Wally will battle the player near Victory Road's exit^RSORAS/entrance^E. In Pokémon Emerald, Wally can also be rematched near the exit.

Players will need Strength, Rock Smash, and Surf to make their way through the cave. Flash and Waterfall, while not required, make traversing the cave easier.

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Victory Road's B1F has two exits to Ever Grande City outside, one of which leads to an area where TM29 (Psychic) can be found. Surf and Strength are required to access these exits.

Trivia

Lanturn with Earthquake

• In Emerald, Cooltrainer Dianne has a Lanturn that knows Earthquake, a move Lanturn cannot legitimately know.
• The music in Victory Road was remixed in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as music for the Spear Pillar stage.
• Cooltrainer^RSE/Ace Trainer^ORAS Vito is the member of the Winstrate family that the other family members mention after the player has beaten them at Route 111.
• In Generation III, while it is possible to enter Victory Road without having eight Badges, or technically any Badges at all due to the fact that the Badge checkpoint isn't until just before taking on the Elite Four, the player is required to have at least seven of them — missing only Fortree City's Feather Badge — to enter. This is due to the game's progress, as being able to use Waterfall outside of battle (Rain Badge) to enter Ever Grande City requires the use of Dive outside of battle (Mind Badge) to enter Sootopolis City, itself requiring the use of Surf outside of battle (Balance Badge) to reach Mossdeep City, which requires the player to have obtained the first four Badges in the region prior to battling Norman. In Generation VI, due to the player being required to earn the Feather Badge before being able to continue, this is no longer true.
• Even though Wally challenges the player to a battle near the entrance in Pokémon Emerald, the rematches with him take place near the exit, the same place where he's battled in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
• The ledge in the southwestern section of B1F in Ruby and Sapphire was made one tile shorter in non-English European versions of the game, making that part of the floor two-way instead of one-way. This ledge, along with the one it leads up to in the southwestern section of B2F, are removed from all localizations of Emerald in order to prevent a dead-end game state should a player enter Victory Road from the Pokémon League side without carrying an Escape Rope, or a Pokémon that can learn Dig or Surf.
