How to Get the Deepseascale in "Pokemon Sapphire"

It is difficult to miss the large Abandoned Ship.

The Deepseascale is a rare evolutionary item used exclusively to obtain a Gorebyss in "Pokemon Sapphire." Deepseascales are given to Clampearl Pokemon to hold and are traded away so they can evolve into Gorebyss upon arrival. Gorebyss is a pink eel-like Pokemon that swims in the depths of the southern seas. Since the Deapseascale is such an exotic item and it is hidden well, Gorebyss is an especially valuable creature for Pokemon trainers in "Pokemon Sapphire."

Instructions

1. Obtain a Pokemon that can learn Surf and Dive. Examples of Pokemon than can learn both moves include Sharpedo, Carvanha and Slowbro.

2. Surf to the Abandoned Ship stranded on the northern portion of Route 108. The ship is located halfway through the Route.

3. Enter the ship and use Dive to access the lower half of the ship. Surface to enter a new room with several locked doors.

4. Walk along the room and press the "A" button with every step to search the immediate floor for the five keys that open the doors. The Scanner is located in the second door. Grab the Scanner and leave the Abandoned Ship.

5. Travel to Slateport City and talk to Captain Stern. Trade the Scanner for the Deepseascale.

Tips & Warnings

• You also have the option to trade the Scanner for the Deepseatooth. Trading a Clampearl that is holding a Deepseatooth will evolve it into a Huntail.
