# Method Repeatable?
1 Route 111 – Gift from a Bug Maniac NPC No
2 Battle Maison’s Exchange Service Corner – 48 BP Yes

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire there are two ways to obtain Safety Goggles.

Your first option is to get Safety Goggles as a present from a Bug Maniac, who is situated on the eastern portion of the desert area of Route 111.

But if you need more Safety Goggles then you’ll need to visit the Battle Maison’s Exchange Service Corner. Here you can trade 48 Battle Points (BP) for Safety Goggles, and you can do this an unlimited number of times.

Method 1: Route 111

Once you’ve obtained the Go-Goggles then just follow the steps below to find the Bug Maniac on Route 111.

Step 1: Find your way to Route 111 and from the route signpost, make your way northeast, moving past the Backpacker.

Step 4: You’ll soon encounter a patch of deep sand that will slow you down.

From this point, start moving directly south.

Method 2: Battle Maison’s BP Shop

The Battle Maison operates similarly to the Battle Tower from previous generations. On the second floor you’ll find the Exchange Service Corner attendants.

If you’ve got at least 48 BP then you can purchase the Safety Goggles here.
