Seafloor Ruins

Seafloor Ruins (SFR) is a dungeon that is located in Archford. To get here HM Dive is needed and the player must navigate the underwater portion of Archford to access it, but a shortcut to the dungeon from Greenport Town can be accessed upon completing the dungeon, via the whirlpool near the dock. The Pokémon located here are mostly all Water-types. Seafloor Ruins leads to three other variations. Each more difficult, and only accessible from the set Secret Room found on Floor 20. There are two possible bosses that the player can face that depend on whether or not the player takes the secret stairs on Floor 20.
