Route 8 (Japanese: 8番道路Route 8) is a route in western Kalos. It consists of two different paths. The upper cliffside path connects Ambrette Town and Connecting Cave, while the lower seaside path connects Ambrette Town and Cyllage City. The route is also known as Muraille Coast (Japanese: ミュライユ海岸Muraille Coast).
Coastal area: by the Swimmer ♀ who gives the player the Dowsing Machine, two spaces west and four north of the rock directly east of the Mago Berry tree (hidden, reappears occasionally)
While wildSeviper and Zangoose are game-exclusive Pokémon in single encounters, they can be found within hordes in both X and Y. In the version where they can only be found in a horde, only one is present in that horde and can be targeted by the other members of the horde. This is because both Pokémon are natural enemies.
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.
Route 8 appeared in An Undersea Place to Call Home!. Ash and his friends relaxed there before Ash had his Gym battle with Grant. While fishing, Ash hooked a Skrelp and attacked him and his friends as it thought that they were its enemies. Pikachu became badly poisoned after getting hit by Skrelp's Toxic. Eddy and Lindsey arrived in Route 8 and Lindsey treated Pikachu, curing him of the poison. A sunken ship which contained some treasure was located underwater of Route 8. Some strong currents were there too but disappeared sometimes. Ash, Serena, and Lindsey went ahead in a submarine underwater.
While on their exploration, they saw some Water-type Pokémon, including the Skrelp from before, and Dragalge. Team Rocket arrived with the Magikarp submarine and attempted to steal the treasure inside the sunken ship. Despite Team Rocket being confronted by the group and the Water-type Pokémon, they were able to grab a safe containing the treasure at the cost of the ship sinking away completely. While the Water-type Pokémon attempted to fix the hole that Team Rocket made on the sunken ship, Froakie and Skrelp went after Team Rocket. When Team Rocket made it to the surface, the currents returned and sent them blasting off. The safe slipped out of the Magikarp submarine's grasp and went back underwater. Froakie returned to Ash while carrying Skrelp on its back.
