Debut The Evolutionary War!

The A-B-C Islands (Japanese: イロハ諸島 Iroha Archipelago) are an anime-exclusive group of islands off the coast of Hoenn that appeared in the episode The Evolutionary War!.

Trainers that live on the islands have a rivalry with each other because one group believes Huntail are stronger and another group believes Gorebyss are stronger.

Island A has a Pokémon Center which is also home to a school. On Island B, DeepSeaScale can be found to evolve Clamperl into Gorebyss, while at Island C DeepSeaTooth can be found to evolve Clamperl into Huntail.

As a sidenote, the rocks on each of this islands resemble some katakana character: The A island seems to have an I (イ), the B island has a Ro (ロ) while the C island has a Ha (ハ). This (along with the name of the archipelago) is a reference to Iroha, a traditional way of grouping Kana characters. This is somewhat equivalent to western "ABC's".
