Maricopia Reef (Japanese: コピアリーフ Copia Reef) is a reef in the Maricopia Islands of the Lental region.

Layout

The stage starts out at a small island that leads to the sea with Sharpedo and flying Wingull. The NEO-ONE then reaches an area with a Sharpedo and a crystabloom. After leaving the area, there are some rocks with Squirtle and a big whirlpool with a Magikarp or Blastoise. Later on, a Wailord suddenly emerges from the sea, which causes water to be splashed on the player's camera. The NEO-ONE will choose to go to the left or right of the Wailord depending on the direction of the camera.

After passing by some more rocks and flying Pelipper, the main route leads to an area with Corsola and Mareanie. Otherwise, the alternate route can be taken, which leads to a blue hole with some swimming Pelipper with Pyukumuku in their mouths. The course later ends at the end of both paths.

The course is mostly unchanged during the evening, though some of the Pokémon are different. Blastoise will be present inside the whirlpool, and Vaporeon appear swimming in the waters. Lapras are present at the end of the route on the alternate path.
