Ruin Valley (Japanese: いせきのたに Ruin Valley) is a route in the Sevii Islands. The Dotted Hole is situated in the central area of the route.

Route description

The terrain of Ruin Valley is mainly covered in tall grass. In the center of the valley is the Dotted Hole (containing the Sapphire), which is also surrounded by a small pool of water. There are also some bare patches of earth. This area of Six Island is fairly mountainous, despite there being no actual mountain here, and many hikers can be found exploring this area.

Trivia

• Ruin Valley, at two squares tall and two squares wide, is the only route in the Sevii Islands and in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen that's more than one square in both dimensions on the Town Map.
• The background music used for Ruin Valley (as well as various other routes in the Sevii Islands) is the same as that of Route 42.
• This route contains the only Sun Stone in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. However, this isn't a problem as the other Sun Stone evolution available in Generation III, Sunkern is only available in Pokémon Emerald's Safari Zone, which has a method for getting multiple Sun Stones (there's a 5% chance of this item being held by wild Solrock).
