We all know the Pokemon series. These two new games are new additions to the Pokemon Gaming series. That's what this FAQ is about. Now, you are a young inhabitant of a new city, you are trying to be a pokemon trainer. Team Magma/Aqua is trying to turn the world into a dry/flooded place. You have to become a pokemon trainer, and stop the evil plot of Team Aqua/Magma. I would also like to mention that this is mainly for Ruby, so there may be a few differences if you are playing Sapphire. /=============================================================================\ )2) Pokemon Basics ( \=============================================================================/ ------------------------- 2.1) Weaknesses/Strengths ------------------------- First, we shall start out with types and weaknesses/strengths against each other. The types/weaknesses/effectives are...

Just use a water pokemon. See if you can get a decent water attack to use against them. I HIGHLY recommend that you do not use anything but water/grass moves. You get Rock Tomb as a prize. ------ BRAWLY ------ He uses a lv17 Machop and a lv18 Makuhita. Get a psychic pokemon if you can. If not, just use your strongest pokemon to beat down these two fighters. You get Bulk Up as a prize. ------- WATTSON ------- He uses a lv22 Magnemite, a lv20 Voltorb, and a lv23 Magneton. Get a good ground pokemon. Why? Electric can't harm ground! Teach that pokemon Earthquake, and the badge will be yours. You get Shock Wave as a prize. -------- FLANNERY -------- She uses two lv26 Slugmas and a lv28 Torkoal. Just get a water pokemon, teach it a powerful water move, and win. Watch out for Torkoal when she's low in health, though, she will use flail and pretty much kill your pokemon instantly. You get Overheat as a prize. ------ Norman ------ He uses a lv28 Slaking, a lv31 Slaking, and a lv30 Vigoroth. He will use normal type Pokemon, they are basic, and fairly strong. Their only weakness is Fighting Attacks. Get yourself a Pokemon that knows fighting style moves, then make sure it stays alive. You get Facade as a prize. ------ Winona ------ She uses a lv31 Swellow, lv30 Pelipper, lv32 Skarmory, and a lv33 Altaria This gym is based on the Flying Type Pokemon, lead off the battles with a Ice or Lightning Type and you will be fine. You get Aerial Ace as a prize. ------------- Tate and Liza ------------- They use a lv42 Lunatone and a lv42 Solroc This gym is mostly Psychic, just use powerful attack moves. Fight smart and this will be fairly easy. You get Calm Mind as a prize. ------- Wallace ------- He uses a lv40 Luvdisc, a lv42 Whicash, a lv40 Sealeo, a lv42 Seaking, lv43 Milotic. This gym is best suited for electric type attacks, if there are no electric attacks available, otherwise just use your most powerful attacks. You get Water Pulse as a prize. /============================================================================\ )3) Pokemon Contests ( \============================================================================/ A new addition to the Pokemon series, we now have Pokemon contests. These are located in... Verdanturf town Fallabor town Slateport city Lilycove city You have to do the contests in Verdanturf, then Fallabor, then Slateport, then Lilycove. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The basic rules for Pokemon Contests are as follows... -There are four other Pokemon contestants. -You first have to show your Pokemon and let people vote if they like it. -There are five rounds of appeal time, where you can show off your Pokemon's moves. -If you repeat an appeal, you lose 2 points. -There are some move combinations that earn extra points (Ex. Sunny Day, Ember) -If you perform a move that corresponds with the contest (Ex. Doing a Cool move in a Cool Contest), you get an extra point and fill the Applause meter. If you are the one to finally fill it completely, you het TONS of points. -Every move has an effect, like lowering points, preventing loss of points, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Now, here are some basic pointers. | | | |-ALWAYS make some Pokeblocks and feed them to your pokemon. For more info on | |this subject, check out the other FAQs. | |-NEVER try to learn a new move just for a contest. What's good in a contest | |may screw you over in battling. (Ex. Growl) | |-Try to enter a contest where your Pokemon has at least 2 moves corresponding| |with the contest type. This way, you can get the bonus for filling the bar. | |-If you can, hope you can get a move that lowers other people's points. Why? | |So you can smash a person's points. | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ (If you need a Pokeblock case, a little girl in Slateport has an extra one) /=============================================================================\ )4)TM/HM List ( \=============================================================================/ Here is a list of TMs/HMs. -------- 4.1) TMs -------- 01- Focus Punch (Fighting) 02- Dragon Claw (Dragon) 03- Water Pulse (Water) 04- calm Mind (Psychic) 05- Roar (Normal) 06- Toxic (Poison) 07- Hail (Ice) 08- Bulk Up (Fighting) 09- Bullet Seed (Grass) 10- Hidden Power (Psychic) 11- Sunny Day (Fire) 12- Taunt (Normal) 13- Ice Beam (Ice) 14- Blizzard (Ice) 15- Hyper Beam (Normal) 16- Light Screen (Psychic) 17- Protect (Normal) 18- Rain Dance (Water) 19- Giga Drain (Grass) 20- safeguard (Normal) 21- Frustration (Normal) 22- Solar Beam (Grass) 23- Iron Tail (Steel) 24- Thunderbolt (Electric) 25- Thunder (Electric) 26- Earthquake (Ground) 27- Return (Normal) 28- Dig (Ground) 29- Psychic (Psychic) 30- Shadow Ball (Ghost) 31- Brick Break (Fighting) 32- Double Team (Normal) 33- Reflect (Psychic) 34- Shock wave (Electric) 35- Flamethrower (Fire) 36- Sludge Bomb (Poison) 37- Sandstorm (Rock) 38- Fire Blast (Fire) 39- Rock Tomb (Rock) 40- Aerial Ace (Flying) 41- Torment (Normal) 42- Facade (Normal) 43- Secret Power (Normal) 44- Rest (Psychic) 45- Attract (Normal) 46- Theif (Dark) 47- Steel Wing (Steel) 48- Skill Swap (Psychic) 49- Snatch (Dark) 50- Overheat (Fire) -------- 4.2) HMs -------- 01- Cut (Normal) 02- Fly (Flying) 03- Surf (Water) 04- Strength (Normal) 05- Flash (Normal) 06- Rock Smash (Fighting) 07- Waterfall (Water) 08- Dive (Water) Number of TMs/HMs that are...

Walkthrough ( \=============================================================================/ ----------------------------- 9.1) Starting out on the road ----------------------------- Let the walkthrough begin! First, it shows a scene where you need to pick your gender and your name. After this cutscene, you are shown in a moving truck. Once the screen stops shaking exit to the right. Speak to your mother, then follow her inside. Walk upwards, go up the set of steps you see, this will lead you to your room. One step to your left is a clock, face it and set the current time. Your mother will then come up she asks you how you like your new room, she will then let you know everything is moved in and take care of. Go over to the left, look at the book on the desk for a few simple game tips. Then go over to your computer right next to it, go into the Item Storage menu, Withdrawl Item menu, then take out the Potion, this item will restore any given Pokemon's health by 20 Hit Points, it can only be used one time. Exit out of your computer, go down the set of steps to your right. Now that you are back downstairs, your mother will have you come look at the televison, your father, Norman, leader of the Petalburg Gym is on the television. You just barely miss seeing your father on tv, she will then tell you that one of your fathers friends lives in Littleroot, his name is Professor Birch, he lives right next door, so it is only proper to go and say hello. Exit out of your new home, go one house to your right, and enter it. Professor Birch's wife will come over when you enter and greet you. She will tell you that she has a daughter about your age, head up stairs and you will meet May. She is sitting over at her desk, go speak to her. After a short conversation she will bolt out of the house. Head back downstairs and leave Professor Birch's home. Go to the left, walk upwards between your house and Professor Birch's house, speak to the young man standing between the trees, from what he says it sounds like someone is in a bit of trouble, run upwards past him, you will hear someone yell ''H-help me!'' continue upwards you will see that it is noneother than Professor Birch. Go into his bag laying on the ground (walk up to it and press A) There are three Pokemon in his bag, for our purposes choose the middle one (Chick Pokemon Torchic) this will determine your starting Pokemon, be sure you pick Torchic. You will now jump into your first battle. You are facing a level 2 Poochyena, just keep using your Torchic's Scratch attack until the Wild Poochyena faints, two attacks should do it. Professor Birch will take you back to his Pokemon Lab so you two can talk for a bit, he will give you the Torchic you used to fight the Poochyena in return for saving him. At this point you can choose whether or not to give the Torchic a nickname. He will then suggest you go talk to May his daughter, she is up on Route 103 battling. Now you need to treat your Pokemon right, when their health gets low heal them, give them status boosting items that you come across later in the game. This will ensure that they are happy, some Pokemon only evolve into their stronger states if you treat them right. Exit Birch's Pokemon Lab go north, and you will pass between the trees where the yong man told you someone neede help (note: at the top left of your screen your location will be displayed when you enter a new area). Continue going upwards, fight wild Pokemon in the grass as much as possible through this area to boost your Torchic's stats. If you continue to follow Route 101 you will come to the next town, Oldale Town, when you enter you will immediately see a grayish colored building with a red roof, saying P.C. on the front, this is a Poke Center, here you can heal your Pokemon back to full health, and replenish their moves for free. Continue to travel upwards, you will come to a building that is similar to the Poke Center that was previously described, except this building says MART on the front, this is a Poke Mart, here they sell all the Pokemon accessories that you need. For now their is really nothing that you need to purchase. Continue upwards to Route 103, continue through all the tall grass upwards, at the end you will see May standing in the tall grass, speak to May, she will challenge you to a duel. After the battle head back south, run through Oldale Town, continue south, you will run into May, she will tell you to continue to Littleroot. Continue south, you will reach Route 101, continue south, once you enter Littleroot, go to the southern most point and enter Professor Birch's Pokemon Lab. Speak to him, he will give you a Pokedex, it records data about Pokemon you run into and capture. You will also receive 5 Poke Balls from May. Now it is time to start catching and trained Pokemon for the first gym. Start out by running back north through Route 101. On your way your mom will stop you and give you your Running Shoes (''Press the B Button while wearing these RUNNING SHOES to run extra-fast''). Continue north through Route 101. You will then come to Oldale Town, speak to the lady standing near the building to your left, she works at the Poke Mart, she will take you there, and give you a promotional Potion. Heal your Pokemon at the Pokecenter, and pick up a few Poke Balls and Potions if desired. Continue north to Route 103. Now the only Pokemon at this point that you absolutely need is a Wingull, catch it at any level and then train it up. Now to catch a Pokemon, just weaken its health to around or below 1/4th, then go to the BAG, to the Poke Balls Pocket, then select whatever kind of Poke Ball you have, in this case select a regular Poke Ball. Harming an enemy Pokemon's status is also an effective tactic, for example, confusing them, paralyzing them, burning then, etc. mAfter catching your Wingull, go and heal your Pokemon, your Wingull's HP will be low from having to harm it to capture it, then press start, go to Pokemon, select Wingull, select Switch, then move it over to the block that is offset to the left, your Torchic should be occupying it, but they will switch places. This will cause your Wingull to lead off in any battle (Note: your lead off Pokemon can be changed at any time). If your Wingull is at an extremely low level and you are having trouble keeping it from fainting in battle, leave your Torchic in the lead off spot, and once the battle commences go to Pokemon, select Torchic, then select Switch, this will cause your stronger Torchic to go in and take care of the opposing Pokemon, but the Experience will be split between Wingull and Torchic (Note: this trick works with all Pokemon). After catching a Wingull, head back into Oldale Town at the main intersection in town head to the left towards Route 102. ----------------------------- 9.2) Getting to the first gym ----------------------------- Continue to the left, Youngster Calvin will challenge you. In this area go ahead and catch a Seedot, you will need it a little later in the game. Continue to the left, Bug Catcher Rick will challenge you. After this battle continue west, then to the north, Youngster Allen will challenge you. Look to the northeast, check those trees, and take the berries off of both of them. Head to the west, Lass Tiana will challenge you to a battle. After the battle continue west and enter Petalburg City. Walk west into the city, stop at the Poke Center if your Pokemon need healing. Also just north of the Poke Center is the Poke Mart, pick up a Potions or Poke Balls if need be. Head to the west of the Poke Mart, you will see Petalburg City's Gym, your father Norman is the Gym leader (you can not battle him yet, but enter the gym). Walk forward, speak to your father, after a short talk a young trainer trainer to be, Wally, will enter. Your father will lend Wally his Level 7 Zigzagoon and a Poke Ball. Go with out into the wild. Wally will run around in some tall grass, then you will encounter a Level 5 Ralts, all you need to do is watch him catch a Pokemon. After he catches it you will both head back to the Gym. Your father will send you off to the next town Rustboro City, he advises you to challenge the Gym Leader there, Roxanne. Your father will not battle you until you have become stronger. Exit his Gym and head west. You will come to Route 104. Your dad then sends you to Rustboro city, where you'll get your first badge. Go toward the western part of the city and enter route 104. Go on the beach, and head north, avoiding the trainers (the girl facing the steps isn't a trainer). Go north, and pick the berries off the trees. Go left, and pick a fight with Rich Boy Winston. Two embers should take that lv7 Zigzagoon out. After that victory, head into Petalburg Woods. Go left, and face the trainer, Bug Catcher Lyle. He has 6 lv3 Wurmples. Embers should kill these guys in one hit. After that, go north and get the Item lying on the ground. It contains Parylz Heal (heals paralysis). Go right and then north, avoiding the grass. Some dude complains to you that he lost his pokemon. Then, a Team Magma Grunt comes and challenges you to a battle. He has a lv9 poochyena, which should be taken down with 2 Embers. That was easy. After the battle, the Devon Worker gives you a great ball. Yay. After he runs away, go north, left, then north again, and challenge Bug Catcher James. He has a lv8 Nincada. Take that thing down with your Torchic. Go north and get the Item lying on the ground. It contains Ether (replenishing PP of one move by 10). Go right and then north, and Exit Petalburg woods. Go left and get the berries off the trees. Speak to the character near the trees, he will give you TM09, it contains Bullet Seed, it can only be used on one Pokemon, so be sure of your choice. Go right, challenge Lady Cindy, she sends a lv7 Zigzagoon at you. One to two embers should take that down. If you don't kill him in the first go, she might use a potion on him, so watch out. After Cindy's battle, go right two steps and challenge Lass Haley. She first sends out a lv7 Lotad, which should fall in 2 embers. She then sends out Shroomish at lv7, which falls in one ember. Go onto the bridge. See those two girls? Challenge them to a battle. This will be your first team battle. The opponents will use a lv8 Seedot and a lv8 Lotad. Take out Seedot first, and then concentrate on Lotad. After you win, pat yourself on the back, because that was your first victory in a team battle. Get off the bridge by going north and turn left, then north. After you enter Rustboro, go north, then right, then north, until you reach the gym. Enter it, and start your first gym battle. ------------------ 9.3) The First Gym ------------------ For starters, take the Wingull that you should've gotten and put it at the start of your list. Then, battle the first Youngster, Youngster Josh. His first Pokemon is a lv10 Geodude. The water gun whould take the Geodude out in two hits. Just pray you live that long. His next pokemon is a lv8 Geodude, followed by a lv6 Geodude. Water gun should take them out instantly. Now for the next Youngster, Youngster Tommy. He has a lv11 Geodude. A single Water Gun from Wingull should knock the Geodude out. Now for the gym leader, Roxanne. When you talk to her, she sounds so white bread... Anyways, she starts out with a lv14 Geodude. If water gun doesn't wipe Geodude out, you're gonna lose Wingull. If you do, send out Torchic, and use Scratch to finish him off. Then, Roxanne will send out Nosepass. Use Ember on Nosepass, and hope to live. Also hope for a burn. If you still have Wingull, use Water Gun. Supersonic would also not be a bad idea. Roxanne uses potions a lot on Nosepass. Anyway you choose, you should beat Roxanne and get the TM for Rock Tomb, along with the the Stone Badge. It takes a while to beat her, but by beating her Geodude over and over again, you are training your pokemon and getting them ready for Nosepass. For Defeating her you will receive TM39 which contains Rock Tomb. Also you will receive the STONE BADGE. ************************ *Roxanne's defeat story* * * ************************ Here's how I defeated Roxanne... I started out with a lv14 Wingull. Took out Geodude in one hit and leveled up. When Nosepass came, I used a supersonic... And missed. Nosepass struck me with Rock tomb, and almost knocked me out. I used supersonic again, and made contact. Nosepass hurt himself in confusion. Then, I hit Nosepass with water gun and came THIS CLOSE ( ) to knocking him out. Roxanne used a potion then. Afterwards, I used water gun and hit Nosepass. Nosepass snapped out of confusion and hit me with rock tomb, and knocked me out. I then sent out Torchic, and kept on using Ember. I eventually burned him. Roxanne used potion again on Nosepass. I kept on using Super potions on Torchic (lv14) so he could live. With the burn and the Ember, Nosepass finally went down. ------------------------------ 9.4) Getting to the Second Gym ------------------------------ After you've beaten Roxanne, go down to the Pokemon Center and take a left to the Cutter's house. Don't worry about Team Magma yet or the Devon guy. Talk to the guy and get the HM01, AKA cut. Teach it to Torchic. Now, go north towards Route 115. Right before the route, turn right and talk to the Devon guy in the green suit. After you've talked to him, pass him and go to route 116. Put Torchic back at the top of your list. Take the northern route and battle Youngster Joey. He starts out with a lv8 Zigzagoon. An Ember from Torchic should take him down. He then sends out a lv10 Machop. Two embers should take him out (don't worry if he attacks you, most likely he'll use Focus Energy). By this time you should reach level 16 and learn Peck. Remove Growl for this move. If your Torchic has not reached level 16, stay in this area, fight until you reach level 16 let Torchic evolve into the new creature (Combusken). Once evolved, Combusken should try to learn Double Kick. Get rid of Focus Energy for this. Keep going forward. Battle Lass Janice. She starts out with a Marill. Use your new move, double kick (Ember is a fire move, and Marill is a water pokemon) and knock Marill out. Move on now. Keep going right and battle Hiker Clark. Your fighting moves are good against rock, which is his main Pokemon type. He starts out with a lv8 Geodude. Take him out with Double Kick. He then sends out another Geodude, lv8. Use the same strategy as before. After this Geodude, Clark sends out another lv8 Geodude. Use the same strategy as before. Keep going right until you see a tunnel. Enter it and follow it until you see an Magma Team goon. He will try to run away (err... Take one step back), but you just follow him and talk to him. Then, a battle arises. This grunt has a lv11 Poochyena. Use double kick on Poochyena and knock it out. After you have won the battle, the Grunt will give you the Devon Goods and run. Then, the old man will come and retrieve his pokemon. After this, run out of the tunnel. You can get the Item at the top, which contains a Poke Ball, but you don't have to. Go to the mountain at the right is an item collect it and The X Special is inside. Go back left and to the northern path, use cut to remove the goofy looking trees (by pressing A in front of the tree). At the end, you should see an Item container and four trees. Pick the berries from the trees. Then, go and get the Item container, which contains Ether. Then, just jump off of the rocks. Go back to Rustbobo, and the Devon Man will talk to you, give you a Poke Ball, and bring you to his President's office. He then tells you that you have to bring the Goods to Slateport. Then, you talk to the president. He tells you to give a letter to Steven in Dewford. He also gives you a Pokenav! It is like a map, that can record other things, such as the trainers you battled. Keep going downstairs and leave the Devon Building. Then, run south to Route 104. Cross the bridge, cut the tree down and get the Item container, which contains X accuracy. Re enter Petalburg Woods, and find your way out. The easiest way is just to keep jumping down the rocks. Then, go down, and visit the Beachside house. Jump in front of the old man and talk to him. You then hop in his boat and sail to Dewford. Once you reach Dewford, go south of the dock and talk to the Fisherman. He'll give you an old rod. Go north to Route 106 and battle Fisherman Ned. His only Pokemon is a lv12 Tentacool. Cut should shut up this squid. Then, enter the cave. Talk to the hiker, and he'll give you flash. Leave, the cave, and battle Fisherman Elliot. He starts out with a lv11 Magikarp. Use Double Kick and knock him out. Then, he sends out a lv8 Tentacool, which will fall to a cut. He then sends out a lv11 Magikarp, which will fall to a double kick. Then, head back into Dewford and beat Brawly, the next gym leader. The gym is at the most southern point of this town. ------------------- 9.5) The Second Gym ------------------- When you enter, you'll find out you have to walk in Complete darkness to get to the gym leader. Run through the darkness, Battle Girl Laura will challenge you, she has a lv14 Meditate. Meditate likes using detect. Just attack Meditate with your Combusken, she will then go down. With a little more light, continue thorugh, you will come to Black Belt Hideki, Use Cut on his lv14 Machop. After the battle, continue through, you will come to Battle Girl Tessa. Challenger her, her first pokemon is a lv12 Meditate that likes using detect. Remember, just attack. Another Meditate with the same stats should come out. Use the previous strategy to beat this Meditate. Afterwards, a lv12 Machop comes out. Cut the thing to death. After this battle, continue through the gym, you will come to Brawly, the gym leader. His first Pokemon is a lv17 Machop. Use Ember. That does the most damage. Again, use Ember on Makuhita. If Combusken faints, send out Wingull. If Wingull is necessary, use Supersonic, and then Wing attack. Makuhita likes to use Knock off, Bulk up, and Arm Thrust. For Defeating him you will receive TM08 which contains Bulk Up. The Ability to use Flash outside of battles, and also you will receive the KNUCKLE BADGE. *********************** *Brawly's defeat story* * * *********************** Have your Combusken lead off this battle, mine was at lv18. Brawly will send out his lv17 Machop, which is weak against your Ember attack, two hits should take him out. My Combusken leveled up to lv19 after defeating his Machop. His next Pokemon is a lv18 Makuhita it is fairly weak against your Combusken's Double Kick attack. This battle is easily completed on the first try. ----------------------------- 9.6) Getting to the third gym ----------------------------- Exit Brawly's gym, gym number two, go to the right, around the building, then north. Go into the building that is next to the dock, talk to the lady inside sitting at the table, she will give you a silk scarf, just a nice item to boost the power of Normal-type moves. Exit this building continue to travel north, then go west, it will lead you back to the cave we were previously in. Go back in, run over to the left side of the area, you will see an Item container, pick it up, inside is an escape rope, use it to quickly exit any type of cave. It is best saved if you absolutely need it. Stay in this area, catch a Geodude, start to train it up, you will need it for the next gym we are going to. Stay in this area, level up your Geodude a bit. Now remember that Seedot we caught a long time ago? Teach it HM05, also known as Flash.

Then, surf as far north as you can (that's not very far). Then, surf east until you see a kind of rock swirl formation. Navigate through it, and enter the cave. Get ready to fight Rayquaza. ************************** 9.21.5) Beating Sky Pillar ************************** Pokemon seen: Mawile, Dusclops, Claydol, Golbat, between lv 45-60 If you haven't figured it out already, then you must realize that the hardest part of getting Rayquaza is getting through Sky Pillar. First, go up and around, and cross the sand to the building. The first part is easy. Just go left and navigate the rocks. Here's where it gets hard. You have to ride across the cracked floor with your mach bike as fast as you can, and you can't stop or hit anything. Here's what the floor should look like... +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | _ _ | | | | ................................. | | | | ................................. | | O O ................................. O | | X X ................................. X X X X | | X X X X ................................. X X X X | | X X X X ................................. O | | X X ................................. | | X X X | | O X X OX X X X | | O X X X X X X | | X X X O| | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ _ | |= Door ...= Open Floor X= Cracked Space O= Rock Just ride a straight line for the first two cracked areas. Speed another straight line through the third one. For the fourth one, take a good running start, and turn right. If you don't, the rocks will slow you down and make you fall. After you have passed this, it's time for the next floor. Erm... just ride through it, there's no challenge here. Uh oh, here comes he hard floor... Map provided: +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | _ _ _ | | | | | | | | | | O | | OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O | | O O O | | O | | X Z Z X | | X X O ................................. X X X | | X X O ................................. X X X | | O X X O ................................. X O | | O X ................................. O | | ................................. | | X X O X X | | O X X X X X X | | O X X X | | X X O | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ _ | |= Door ...= Open Floor X= Cracked Space O= Rock Z= Fall-through rock This is hard. To start off, you go your top speed through the first section. Then, you have to turn right between the rocks WITHOUT STOPPING and keep going. Then, you turn right again WITHOUT STOPPING between the open floor and the three rocks. YOu can stop now. Back up three steps and go left one step and make your back wheel touch the rock to your side. Ride as fast as you can through the first crack. YOU MUST FALL THROUGH ONE OF THE NEXT TWO CRACKS!!!!!! This is imperitive. Once you do, go north and enter the room. Go left a little and up the stairs. Navigate through the rocks and go up the stairs. Go up the stairs again here, and talk to the big green thing in the middle of the room. Begin your fight with Rayquaza. *************************** 9.21.6) The Ultimate Battle *************************** Your fight with Rayquaza has just begun! Start out with Regice and use Icy Wind. It has STAB, plus it's good against both Rayquaza's types, making it 330 power. O_O. It shouldn't knock him out (lv40 against lv70), but it should weaken him. Rayquaza will eventually use rest; Belt him with Icy winds when that happens. When he's weak enough, get him with the ultra ball. Since he's asleep and weak, that should be game. If not, keep throwing balls at him. If the battle gets longer than 50 turns, start using Timer Balls. If Regice happens to faint, use either Blaziken or Groudon to weaken Rayquaza and then catch him. Watch out for his Outrage attack; It's powerful and it has STAB. It confuses him, though. Once you have caught him, pat yourself on the back for a good catch. ******************* 9.21.7) Fine Tuning ******************* We have a Rayquaza. But we need to give it some tuning in order to battle with it... Here are the steps for the tuning... 1.) Give it some Zincs to increase it's SP.DEF stat. This will help against it's major weakness to Ice and Dragon. 2.) Get a heart scale and go to the move tutor. Replace Outrage with Dragon Claw. This way, you lose 10 power, but gain the freedom of not using the same move for 2-3 turns and also losing the confusion factor. 3.) Replace Rest with Surf. Why would you need Rest anyway? 4.) If you want, you can replace Extremespeed with Flamethrower, to help overcome it's weakness to ice. Now you have a perfect Rayquaza! ------------ 9.22) Beldum ------------ Beldum is a Psychic/Steel Pokemon. It evolves into Metang, who evolves into the mighty Metagross. In order to get Beldum, you have to go to Mossdeep city. From the Pokemon Center, Go north and then west. Steven's house is the one on the far right. Read the letter, take the Pokeball on the counter, and you have Beldum! Oh, make sure you have an empty space in your party. You can't take him otherwise. ----------------------------- 9.23) Finding Pacifidlog Town ----------------------------- Pacifidlog is a little town that you do not visit during your adventure. After you beat the Elite four, you can find Pacifidlog. Now, Pacifidlog town is the town that's between Route 131 and 132. To get to it, surf west from Ever Grande City until you can go south and reach Route 130. After that, keep surfing west until you find a town resting on a bunch of wooden logs. You are now at pacifidlog, a town built out of logs. Ironic. Anyway, Pacifidlog contains of a pokemon center and four houses. The house farthest to the southeast has a man that tells you if Mirage Island is visible. ------------------- 9.24) Sealed Cavern ------------------- Okay, to start off, beat the Elite four. Also catch the pokemon Relicanth and Wailord, and put them in your party. (Relicanth is found underwater at Routes 124-126 and Wailord is found at Route 129) Fly to pacifidlog town. You should arrive at the Pokemon Center. Go two steps down and go to the logs at the right. Surf for 12 steps left, 8 steps south, and 7 steps left. The current then should get you and you should battle this guy. Win. Then, take 4 steps south, 7 steps left, and surf. The current should take you to another island. Go straight left until you reach the water, and surf. The current should bring you to open water. Take 6 steps left and surf yet again. You should land on an island. Go 4 steps north, 6 steps left, 3 steps south, 7 steps left, 3 steps south, three steps left, one step north, and one step left, and surf. The current should take you to another island. Go straight left across the island and surf again. You should reach deep water. Now, dive. Go two steps south and into the entranceway. Go 25 steps south, 3 steps right, 11 steps south, 3 steps left, 6 steps south, 5 steps right, and press B. Okay, go to the back with the big braille writing. Teach one of your pokemon dig and use it. Onto the next stage. Again, go to the back. Put Relicanth at the beginning of your party, and Wailord as the last pokemon in your party. Go to the rock at the end, and press A. That's it. You then have to go find caves and get Regirock, Registeel, and RegiIce. REGIROCK Go into the desert, and go way south, until you reach a cave. Go straight Forward. The braille says... RIGHT RIGHT DOWN DOWN THEN USE STRENGTH Do so, and the wall opens. Go straight forward and encounter REGIROCKlv40! CATCH HIM! Use water moves until he's very low in health. It also helps if you make him fall asleep. Then leave. SAVE BEFORE THE BATTLE!!!!!!!!!! REGIICE Fly to Dewford. Go to granite cave, go north of it, and surf north, until you reach two islands with trees on them. Go to the islands, and surf north, until you reach a cave. Go to the braille. It says... STOP AND WAIT WAIT FOR TIME TO PASS TWICE Erm, just stare at the rock (with the braille still up) for two minutes. Go to the pokemon and FIGHT!!!!!!!! Use the same strategy as before. Time for the last Regi. SAVE BEFORE THE BATTLE!!!!!!!!!! REGISTEEL Okay, fly to Fortree City. Then, go east and follow Route 120. After you cross a bridge made of logs, go as far south as possible. When you see stairs, climb them. Go north from the stairs, cut through the grass, climb another set of stairs, and enter the cavern. Go to the braille. It says... WITH NEW TIME HOPE AND LOVE AIM TO THE SKY IN THE MIDDLE Take four steps down and use the HM fly. The door should now open. Go in and face Registeel. He is very hard to catch. Weaken him as much as possible and then put him to sleep. Throw some Ultra Balls at him and catch him (You'll have to use a lot of ultra balls). That's it for Sealed Cavern.
