A-B-C Islands
Region Hoenn
Debut The Evolutionary War!

The A-B-C Islands (Japanese: イロハ諸島 Iroha Archipelago) are an animated series-exclusive group of islands located off the coast of Hoenn, between Lilycove City and Mossdeep City. They appeared in The Evolutionary War!.

Trainers who live on these islands have been engaged in an intense rivalry with each other over Clamperl's evolutionary line: with Island C believing Huntail are stronger, while Island B considers Gorebyss the stronger evolution.

On Island A, Nurse Joy operates a Pokémon Center, which is also home to a school. The other two islands have transporter hubs connected to the Center, allowing for Trainers to transfer their Pokémon for treatment wherever they are. On Island B, DeepSeaScales can be found and used to evolve Clamperl into Gorebyss, while on Island C, DeepSeaTeeth can be found and used to evolve Clamperl into Huntail. Racing their Huntail and Gorebyss between the islands, as a result, is a common occurrence for the Trainers who reside there.
