Shamo's Hoenn Rock Smash Guide


Recommended Posts

I haven't seen much on Hoenn Rock Smashing Routes. There aren't too many easily accessible Rock Smash (RS) locations in Hoenn compared to the likes of Kanto and Sinnoh, but I have managed to find a 12 RS Route.

 

Requirements: Frisk/Thief Mon, Rock Smash/Fly/Surf/Dive/Strength, 2 repels and/or a mon with Intimidate/Keen-Eye with a Cleanse Tag. Must have 7 badges in Hoenn

Recommended: Clear out trainers in advance to make runs smooth and  not have to worry about dodging trainers. Secondary Thief mon for a backup Thief. A damp mon if you run into a shiny Graveler.

 

My Hoenn Rock Smashing Team:

-Banette (Frisk, Thief)
-Sneasel (Rock Smash, Surf, Keen Eye, Cleanse Tag)
-Xatu (Fly)

-HA Parasect (Thief, False Swipe, Spore, Damp)

-Tentacruel (Dive)

-Excadrill (strength, dig)
-2xRepel

 

Route:
1. Go North of Rustboro City to Route 115

          -1x RS before the Meteor Falls Entrance

          -Use one "Repel" or use your Cleanse Tag mon to get through the cave. (Run out any remaining repels before proceeding)

          -Follow the exit route and hit the 4x RS locations

2. Fly to and go North

          -2x RS locations

3. Fly to Mossdeep City

          -Pop a "Repel" and go south and then dive at the Seafloor cavern and then enter the cavern

          -Go north and hit the 1x RS and then move the strength bolders out of the way to continue north

          -1x RS in the next room. Use strength to access the 2nd one and then go south to the connecting room

          -Continue to the room connected, but don't go to far south and jump over the ledge

          -1x RS and then clear the Strength Rocks and then you'll see the final RS
