What is a good in-game team for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire?
This team performed very well in a Nuzlocke I just completed, and it makes a very strong team for a casual playthrough as well. Very little grinding is needed, there are no version exclusives, Mega Evolutions or legendaries, and the coverage is superb. There are some strategies used in a Nuzlocke that aren’t necessarily helpful in a casual run, like equipping specific berries. In these cases, the more generally helpful item will be noted instead.
Swampert @ Soft Sand
Ability: Torrent
— Water Gun (starting move) > Surf (HM obtained after defeating Norman)
— Mud-Slap (Level 9) > Dig (TM28 — Route 114) > Earthquake (TM26 — Seafloor Cavern)
— Tackle (starting move) > Rock Slide (Level 28)
— Growl (starting move) > Mud Shot (Level 16) > Brick Break (TM31 — Sootopolis City)
Swampert does well in Hoenn because there are very few required battles against Grass Pokémon. Surf is preferred over Waterfall because of its higher base power, and Waterfall works better on Gyarados anyways. It’s better to replace Growl with Mud Shot instead of Mud-Slap in case you need the accuracy drops the latter provides, but Marshtomp should start reliably KOing things by the time it gets Dig to no longer need Mud-Slap. Earthquake is the best STAB move available to it, but Dig and Mud Shot both work well before then. Brick Break’s primary use is to break the screens that Glacia’s Glalie #1 and Steven’s Claydol set up, should it be necessary. Rock Slide is a powerful coverage option that works as a good backup against Winona, should Manectric fall.
Gardevoir @ Miracle Seed / Rocky Helmet
Ability: Trace
— Confusion (Level 4) > Psychic (Level 30)
— Growl (starting move) > Disarming Voice (Level 11) > Draining Kiss (Level 23) > Dazzling Gleam (TM99 — Route 123)
— Double Team (Level 6) > Calm Mind (Level 24)
— Teleport (Level 9) > Magical Leaf (Level 17) > Shadow Ball (TM30 — Mt.
Pyre)
With DexNav, walking outside the strip of grass on Route 102 closest to Petalburg City will eventually force a Ralts encounter. This is much more reliable than gambling on random encounters, and it’s often a large timesaver. Switch training Ralts may be necessary for a while, as it’s too weak to deal with Poochyena and Zigzagoon (even with Confusion). Once you get the EXP Share, however, levelling it up becomes trivial. Confusion works well until you get Psychic, which is able to OHKO or 2HKO most neutral targets. Dazzling Gleam is the strongest Fairy STAB move Gardevoir gets before the postgame, and its extra BP is typically more helpful than Draining Kiss’ HP recovery. Calm Mind was chiefly used to sweep Wallace for free, but because it’s also a TM, it can be swapped for things like Flash as the need arises. Magical Leaf was primarily used against Wallace’s Whiscash and Milotic, but it was also very helpful for dealing with Team Aqua’s Carvanha and Sharpedo, so Gardevoir wouldn’t take extra damage from Rough Skin.
It was replaced with Shadow Ball once Wallace was defeated. The Ability doesn’t matter much, but it was fun to block Drake’s Flygons from using Ground moves after Levitate was Traced.
Hariyama @ Silk Scarf
Ability: Guts
— Fake Out (Level 10)
— Arm Thrust (starting move) > Force Palm (Level 13) > Wake-Up Slap (Level 38)
— Sand-Attack (starting move) > Knock Off (Level 19)
— Tackle (starting move) > Bulk Up (TM08 — Obtained after defeating Brawly) > Close Combat (Level 46)
Hariyama was a lot better than expected in this playthrough. Silk Scarf-boosted Fake Out does quite a lot of damage to neutral opponents, and free damage is excellent. Arm Thrust is fairly subpar, but Force Palm is quite a solid move that will last until the midgame. Wake-Up Slap’s extra 10 BP is better than Force Palm’s chance to paralyse, so it’s a good STAB upgrade. Knock Off is helpful so Hariyama doesn’t get completely walled by Ghosts types, but it should still be kept away from Psychic types.
Bulk Up wasn’t particularly useful at any point during the game, so the extra power Close Combat provided is generally the better idea. It was more helpful in the Elite 4 than Wake-Up Slap was, as a PP Max gave it enough PP to reliably take out a few opponents. Pre-poisoning Hariyama with Guts makes it nigh unstoppable, especially if you’re playing on switch mode.
Gyarados @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Intimidate
— Tackle (starting move) > Strength (HM04 — Route 112) > Dragon Dance (Level 47)
— Splash (starting move) > Leer (Level 26) > Aqua Tail (Level 35) > Waterfall (HM05 — Sootopolis Gym)
— Bite (Level 20) > Crunch (Level 41)
— Dragon Rage (Level 23) > Ice Fang (Level 32)
Gyarados is an exceptionally useful Pokémon ingame. Strength will be the main move used until Aqua Tail is learned. Crunch is very helpful against Ghost types, as the team doesn’t have any Pokémon with STAB Dark or Ghost moves.
Ice Fang is a good defense against Winona and Drake. To get Dragon Dance, first reach the Pokémon League. Fly to the Move Deleter in Lilycove City to remove Strength, as it’s no longer useful. Fly to the Move Relearner in Fallarbor Town, and use a Heart Scale to relearn Dragon Dance, which will be crucial in setting up sweeps against Phoebe, Drake, and Steven. Rocky Helmet is a good generic item, but it needs a few specific berries against the Elite 4.
Crobat @ Soothe Bell > nothing
Ability: Inner Focus
— Leech Life (starting move) > Wing Attack (Level 13) > Acrobatics (Level 35)
— Supersonic (starting move) > Confuse Ray (Level 17) > Fly (HM02 — Route 119)
— Bite (starting move) > X-Scissor (TM80 — Victory Road)
— Astonish (starting move) > Poison Fang (Level 27)
Crobat doesn’t excel in any major battles, but it’s very good at picking off minor Trainers all over the region.
Acrobatics is by far the strongest STAB move, with 110 BP per turn (provided Crobat isn’t holding anything). Fly is more for convenience than damage, but it could work well in combination with Swampert’s Surf in a Double Battle. Both Bite and X-Scissor are fairly useless for when they’re used, but there’s not much Crobat needs other than Acrobatics. Poison Fang is STAB, but Acrobatics will typically be more useful. The Soothe Bell should be used until Golbat evolves, after which point Acrobatics is more effective with no item.
Manectric @ Magnet / nothing
Ability: Static
— Howl (starting move) > Spark (Level 13) > Discharge (Level 30)
— Leer (starting move) > Volt Switch (TM72 — Obtained after defeating Wattson)
— Thunder Wave (starting move) > Bite (Level 24) > Flamethrower (TM35 — Victory Road)
— Quick Attack (starting move)
Manectric was not brought onto the team until the 6th Gym, where it started to shine the most.
It’s easily able to be incorporated earlier, however, and does well against the multitude of Water and Flying types in the game. Discharge is the best STAB move it gets (The sidequest for TM24 Thunderbolt comes too late and is a waste of time). Volt Switch is good for pivoting, but it’s less helpful if playing on switch mode. Flamethrower is helpful against Steven’s Steel types. Quick Attack is primarily used to conserve PP on more powerful moves, and to break Sturdy on specific Pokemon.
This is a list of major battles the team will have to contend with. Some other Pokemon were used for some of these battles, and those instances will be noted with alternatives.
Roxanne: Mudkip easily sweeps with Water Gun. Equip an Oran Berry or use Potions during the battle to survive Nosepass’ Rock Tombs.
Brawly: I used a Taillow with Wing Attack to sweep Brawly, with Beautifly as backup. If you don’t have either of these Pokemon, Disarming Voice Ralts and Wing Attack Zubat can easily take down the Gym.
Route 110 Rival: Slugma and Wailmer both fall to Marshtomp, but Grovyle is more of an issue. I used an Air Cutter Beautifly to cleanly KO it, but if you didn’t pick one up, Wing Attack Zubat should also make quick work of it.
Wattson: Marshtomp with Mud Shot easily solos this Gym. You can give it a Persim Berry to block Magneton’s confusion, but it should be a clean sweep.
Mt. Chimney Archie: I used a Beautifly with Silver Wind to safely take out Mightyena and Sharpedo, and Rock Slide Marshtomp for Golbat, but Manectric also works well. If you don’t have a Beautifly, Hariyama is good for Mightyena and Sharpedo.
Flannery: Marshtomp easily solos this Gym with Mud Shot as well. No backup should be needed, but Gyarados is a good fallback.
Norman: Marshtomp with Dig is very good for freely damaging the Slakings thanks to Truant. Hariyama is a good answer to Vigoroth and can work well against the Slakings too.
Route 119 Rival: Like before, Wailmer and Slugma should fall easily to Manectric and Marshtomp respectively. Grovyle is easily dealt with by Golbat/Crobat.
Winona: Manectric is a good answer to most of her team, but Gyarados may be necessary to Ice Fang her Altaria.
Lilycove City Rival: Swellow and Wailord fall to Manectric, and Magcargo goes down to Swampert. Sceptile is easily taken care of with Crobat’s Acrobatics.
Tate & Liza: Send out Swampert and Gyarados. Spam Surf on Swampert, which Gyarados resists, and use Crunch with Gyarados on either Pokemon. The battle should be over in one or two turns.
Seafloor Cavern Archie: Gardevoir handily deals with Archie’s entire team, but if you’re scared of Crobat outspeeding, switch to Manectric for Discharge.
Wallace: Set up a Calm Mind or two on Luvdisc with Gardevoir, then use Magical Leaf to cleave through it and Whiscash.
Psychic is stronger on the remaining Pokemon, and the Special Defense boosts from Calm Mind will allow Gardevoir to live Milotic’s Hydro Pump and take down Wallace’s entire team.
Victory Road Wally: Gyarados’ Ice Fang takes care of Altaria. Hariyama easily removes Magneton and Delcatty, and Gardevoir can come in to clean up Roselia and Gallade.
Sidney: Give Gardevoir a Persim Berry and send it in against Mightyena to block Swagger and safely KO with Dazzling Gleam. It or Hariyama can deal with Sharpedo, and Gardevoir cleanly OHKOes the rest of Sidney’s team.
Phoebe: Give Gyarados a Persim Berry to block Dusclops’ Confuse Ray, and set up a Dragon Dance for free. This should be enough to OHKO every Pokemon with Crunch, but if it isn’t, the only threat is Dusknoir, who still can’t usually kill with Thunder Punch.
Glacia: Hariyama OHKOes both Glalie (and Walrein with Close Combat after a Fake Out), so the only annoyances are the Froslass.
Gyarados can typically outspeed and OHKO both with Crunch, but Persim Berries might be a good idea anyways.
Drake: Gyarados can set up two Dragon Dances on Altaria and proceed to sweep Drake’s entire team. It can be given a Wacan Berry in case Salamence connects with a Thunder Punch, but it’s very difficult to lose this battle.
Steven: Lead Manectric into Skarmory, and Quick Attack to break Sturdy before KOing with Discharge. Break Aggron’s Sturdy with Quick Attack, and switch to Gyarados on an Earthquake to OHKO with Waterfall. Set up 3 Dragon Dances on either the Claydol or Cradily, healing as needed, and freely sweep the rest of Steven’s team.
This was probably longer than it needed to be, but this team worked very well for me, so I hope it helps someone. 🙂
What are the best Flying-types for Omega Ruby in-game teams?
The Hoenn Region holds a plethora of Flying-type Pokémon, but I will only list the ones that can learn the HM Fly: Swellow, Pelipper, Crobat, Dodrio, Skarmory, Altaria, and Salamence.
(I am not counting Tropius and Xatu beause they’re not very useful)
Swellow
Swellow is a solid choice, with stellar Speed and a decent Attack stat. He’s able to learn some strong moves, has a good Ability in Guts and is available very early on. For a moveset, try:
— Fly
— Return/Quick Attack
— U-Turn
— Steel Wing/Roost/Quick Attack
(I’m assuming you don’t care about Natures or EVs, but if you do I’ll add them)
Pelipper
Another good Pokémon also available early on, Pelipper can function both as a fighter and an HM slave, learning Fly and Surf. He has good HP and Special Attack. Try this moveset:
— Fly
— Surf
— Shock Wave (move tutor)
— Ice Beam/Roost
Crobat
Crobat is an incredible Pokémon with a variety of moves. He also has amazing Speed and useable Attack, as well as powerful STAB attacks. This is a good in-game moveset:
— Cross Poison
— Fly
— X-Scissor/U-Turn
— Steel Wing/Roost
Dodrio
While often overlooked in favour of more powerful Flying-types, Dodrio can hold his own in-game.
He gets wicked high Attack and Speed, as well as Fly (don’t ask me how). Here’s the recommended moveset:
— Fly
— Quick Attack/Return
— Drill Peck/Roost
— Steel Wing
Skarmory
A nice defensive monster to add to your team, although you already have Slowbro. Still, Skarmory is a positive addition to any team with his amazing Defense. Usually a Skarmory would know moves like Defog and Stealth Rock, but since in-game is usually hyper-offensive, I will suggest an appropriate moveset:
— Fly
— Steel Wing/Iron Head (move tutor)
— Rock Slide/Roost
— X-Scissor/Night Slash/Roost
Altaria
Altaria possesses an incredibly diverse movepool, able to run both physical and special movesets. This, when paired with its decent bulk, make it a good choice for a Flying-type to add to your team (that, and it’s a freaking cloud dragon).
Physical
— Fly
— Dragon Claw
— Dragon Dance/Roost
— Earthquake
Special
— Fly
— Dragon Pulse
— Moonblast
— Flamethrower/Ice Beam/Roost
(I would recommend using Altaria’s Mega Evolution, but it isn’t necessary.
)
Salamence
And finally, the king of all Hoenn Flying-types, Salamence. He is a literal killing machine (or is that KOing machine?) that tears through all who oppose him…except Ice-types, be sure to have a counter for those.
— Fly
— Dragon Claw/Outrage
— Earthquake/Stone Edge/Rock Slide
— Crunch/Zen Headbutt/Fire Fang
Well, those are all of the viable Flying-types in OR/AS who are not Tropius, Xatu, Rayquaza or part Bug-type. I hope you’re able to find one that works for you.
Pokémon Alpha Sapphire 3DS | Stratege
Description
Embark on an incredible adventure in the new Pokémon Alpha Sapphire game for Nintendo 3DS and 2DS! See the world in a new way, as players first did with Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, released on the Game Boy Advance in 2003. Improved graphics and completely new game content will keep you hooked. Catch and train Pokémon, send them into battle and prove to everyone that you are the best Pokémon trainer in your area!
The events unfold in the Hoenn region, where two organizations with opposite goals have long been fighting: Team Aqua and Team Magma.
Team Aqua wants to raise the level of the ocean, and Team Magma wants to increase the land area of the Hoenn region. In Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Team Aqua has more influence in the region, while Team Magma has a stronger position in Pokémon Omega Ruby. Whichever version you choose, you will always be in the thick of this conflict!
The story begins with your arrival in Littleroot. You will need to choose one Pokémon out of three — it will become your first partner. Pokémon come in different types. You can choose from Grass Trico, Fire Torchik or Water Mudkip. Whichever you choose, remember that a Pokémon needs a lot of time and attention to grow strong. Under the right conditions, he can make a mega-evolution, after which he will become even stronger! Don’t miss two new Legendary Pokémon: Groudon, who created the land, and Kyogre, who created the seas. Both have a new primal form.
Get close to a Pokémon using the Pokémon Friend mode. The Pokémon will become attached to you if you play with it more often, stroke it and feed it with a special delicacy — poke-sloys.
The more you take care of a Pokémon, the better it will perform. Pokémon can not only fight, but also participate in the Awesome Pokémon Contest, where they compete in five categories: the coolest, the most beautiful, the cutest, the smartest and the strongest. Move up the ladder of success to the master level!
Of course, you’re not the only Pokémon trainer in the Hoenn region. Every coach strives to be the best – a champion. To get the crown of the champion, you will have to face each of the best trainers of the gym, for defeating which you will receive gym badges. Once you’ve collected all eight badges, you’ll be able to compete in the Pokémon League against the Elite Four and then against the champion himself!
During this adventure, you will be able to build your top-secret base. But something else is even more interesting: you can invite other players from all over the world to your base and go to their bases! If you like any base owner, you can make him your secret friend.
Secret friends can help you on your adventures with special skills. You’ll also be able to hone your skills against other trainers found through the Player Finder System (PSS). There are different battle modes: 2v2 and even 3v3. You can also exchange Pokémon with other trainers!
New mega evolutions, classic online battles and completely redesigned graphics await you in the epic action RPG Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. Only on Nintendo 3DS and 2DS!
- Catch, train, and battle Pokémon throughout the Hoenn region to become the best trainer and, if possible, see a Mega Evolution!
- Use the Pokémon Friend Mode and feed PokéLayers to your Pokémon to bond with it, then enter it into the Pokémon Contest and see how it ranks!
- Fight and swap with other trainers in local and online mode
- Build your top secret bases and visit friends’ top secret bases!
Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Walkthrough
Hooray, new Champion Hann! Starting your adventure in the small town of Littleroot, you’ve managed to thwart Team Magma/Aqua’s evil plans, save the world from the uncontrollable power of Primal Groudon/Kyogre, and even defeat the Elite Four and former champion, Stephen Stone.
But the adventure is far from over!
Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (OR/AS) offers many stories and post-games! There’s still a lot to do — the Hoenn region is definitely huge! So here it is, the ORAS Pokemon Walkthrough, made just for you!
Believe it or not, this game’s storyline doesn’t end with you defeating Team Magma/Aqua, Primal Groudon/Kyogre, the Elite Four, and the Champion. There is actually more than meets the eye. Thus Delta Episode starts!
Here is a quick guide to completing Delta Episode:
Johto Starters: Cyndaquil, Chikorita and Totodile
To get Johto Starter (Cyndaquil, Chikorita or Totodile), beat the Elite Four in the Pokémon League once! Professor Birch will call you after you leave your home in Littleroot Town. He is being attacked by a shroomish and so he will ask you to take Johto Starter from his bag.
Unova Starters: Snivy, Oshawott and Tepig
To get Unova Starter (Snivy, Oshawott or Tepig), just complete Delta Episode.
Professor Birch will call you after you leave your home in Littleroot Town. He is attacked by Machoke and so he will ask you to take the Unova Starter from his bag.
Sinnoh Starters: piplup, chimchar and turtwig
To get the Sinnoh Starter (Piplup, Chimchar or Turtwig), beat «Mega» Elite Four and Champion. Yes, this time you have to defeat the Elite Four and the Champion, who are now meaner and stronger! Professor Birch will call you after you leave your home in Littleroot Town. He is attacked by his wife, who he mistook for a wild Pokémon, and so he will ask you to take the Sinnoh Starter from his bag.
After defeating the Elite Four and completing the Delta Episode, you will return to Littleroot Town again. There, your father will talk to you, saying that a gift has arrived for you from Mr. Briny. The gift is nothing but a S.S. ticket! This is a ferry ticket that will allow you to board the luxurious S.S. Tidal, which can be found in Lilycove City and Slateport City.
Inside S.S. Tidal more battles and items await! It is also the gateway to new locations such as the South Island and the Combat Resort.
After you receive your S.S. and sit in the S.S. Tidal, you can finally head to the Battle Resort! In the Battle Resort, you will get the chance to participate in more difficult battles through the Battle Maison, get more special items and Mega Hammers, and learn new moves from the Move Tutor.
To get your free Sharpedo and Camerupt , head to one of the beach houses at the Battle Resort. In one of the beach houses, you will meet two grunts (one from the Aqua team and one from the Magma team).
Apparently, two grunts decided to live with each other. After that, some others grumble to tell about everything that happened. The next time you visit, both grouches will tell you about their plans to reform their teams. After all is said and done, Team Aqua Grunt and Team Magma Grunt will provide you with Sharpedo and Camerupt, respectively.
Making their way from the X & Y versions, Battle Maison is back to give you even more thrills in exciting battles!
As in previous games, Battle Maison allows you to fight with trainers in four different styles: Single, Double, Triple and Rotation. Every time you win you get BP (Battle Points) which you can redeem for amazing prizes. Plus, each battle gets more and more difficult as you battle leaders and participate in «Super Battles» until you become the best trainer of all!
The Battle Institute can be found in the eastern part of Mauville. Here you can hone your skills through combat tests (single or double) against five successive increasingly difficult trainers. The battle institute is not just a battle, you are ranked by your abilities and tactics! After the tests, you get a certificate that evaluates you as a fighter and gives you BP and special items.
You heard it right! In Pokémon OR/AS, both Mach Bike and Acro Bike can be obtained. To get both, you must advertise Rydel bikes throughout the Hoenn region.
- Mach Bike — Show off your Mach Bike to a hex maniac. It can be found just north of the desert area on Highway 111. Ride your Mach bike up the dirt slope to get to it.
- Acro Bike — Show off your Acro Bike Trainer. It can be found north of route 119. Use Surf and Waterfall to get over the river and waterfall and ride your Acro Bike across the bridge to get to it.
- Mach Bike / Acro Bike – Show either a Mach Bike or an Acro Bike to a triathlete. It can be found in the southeastern part of the beach in the Battle Resort.
After completing the above tasks, return to Rydel in Mauville and he will give you another bike. Congratulations! You now have both a Mach Bike and an Acro Bike so you can ride freely throughout the Hoenn region. With both bikes at your disposal, you can now also access all areas in the safari area.
After completing the Delta Episode, go to Stephen Stone’s house in Mossdeep City.
There, you’ll find a PokéBall (Beldum) on a table with a note saying it’s a gift for you from Stephen Stone.
After you defeat/capture the Primal Groudon/Kyogre, go to the city of Lavaridge and talk to the old woman who is standing near the hot springs. This time, she will give you an egg that will eventually hatch as a Togepi — an Egg Pokémon!
If you once claimed victory in the Pokémon League and completed Delta Episode, now it’s time to rematch the Elite Four and the Champion again! This time they won’t be the same as before! Pokémon have been leveled up to a higher level and every trainer will now fight you with the power of Mega Evolution. How’s that for a call?
After defeating Primal Groudon/Kyogre, you will find Mauville City Gym Leader Wattson standing in front of the Square Tower on the 1st floor of Mauville City. Immediately, he will invite you to his apartment in Mauville Hills, where he will tell you about the problems of «New Mavill» and ask you to complete a task for him.
Mr. Bonding Sidequest is a quest that tells the origin story of Mr. Bonding and O-Powers. In order to uncover the origin story and get all the O-Powers, you need to talk to certain people at the Pokémon Center in Mouville Town. You also need access to Mauville Hills to complete this quest. When you’re done, you’ll witness Mr. Bonding’s origin story and also get all the available O-powers in the game.
Found on Route 110, Trick House and Trick Master are as tricky as they could get! Using wit and quick wits, Trick House cameras are really fun! There are six rooms in the Trick House. Can you solve them all?
After you become the best in the Battle Maison of Battle Resort by claiming victory in «Super Battles», you can finally have the long-awaited rematch with Wally. Now he is stronger than ever before! Defeat him and he will be available for battle every day, but with a stronger team than before. Simply put, he is the highest level character you will ever encounter in the game.
Defeat him and you will become the best trainer in the entire Hoenn region!
Like the old Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald games, there are a few specific conditions that need to be met in order to catch Regirock, Regice and Registeel. Here are the conditions:
- Have Relicanth in your side’s first slot.
- Have a Wailord in the last slot of your group.
- Give your moves surf, dive, dig, fly and power.
It can also help you learn Braille or prepare a manual (which you can easily find online) just in case.
The first thing you need to do is cause an earthquake near the city of Pacificidlog. Once you do this, the caves will open with Regirock, Regice and Registeel.
Here are the places where you can find them:
- Regirock can be found in a cave in the southern part of the desert near the town of Lavaridge.
- Regis can be found in the island cave north of Route 105.
- Registeel can be found in an ancient tomb on route 120.
Like Regirock, Regice and Registeel, catching Regigigas is also a little tricky. To catch him you will need Regirock, Regice and Registeel in your party. Next, you need to talk to a certain girl in the house to the right of the Pokémon Center in the city of Pacificidlog. She will tell you that you need Regis to hold Casteliacon, Ice Nevermelt or Snowball. Then you must give your Regice an alias. And finally, you need to head to the Island Cave north of route 105. If all conditions are successfully met, Regigas will challenge you to battle then and there.
To catch Ho-oh (Omega Ruby) or Lugia (Alpha Sapphire), you need to head to Sea Mauville (North of Route 108) to get a scanner that can be found in the basement. Give the scanner to Captain Stefn in Slayport City and he will give you either a clear bell or a tidal bell. Return to Sea Moville and the Clear Bell/Tide Bell will ring to reveal the Ho-o/Lugiya Portal.
After completing the Delta Episode, you will inevitably encounter the Legendary Flying/Whelping Pokémon Rayquaza.
Once you do, catch it with all your might!
After completing Episode Delta, you will inevitably encounter the Legendary Psychic Space Pokémon, Deoxys. Once you do, catch him with all your might. It is said to be the hardest Pokémon to catch in the game, so feel free to use your Master Ball on it.
Heatran is a Legendary Fire/Steel Pokémon that can be found at the lowest level of the Scorehead Slab, north of Route 120. Inside Flannery Cave will tell you that a rare Pokémon lives there. This is Heatran, and now it’s up to you to catch him.
Mirage Spots are the stuff of Legends! After you get the Eon Flute, you will be able to soar in the skies of Gene with Latios/Latias. During takeoff, you will encounter Mirage Spots in the form of Dimensional Rifts, Storm Clouds, Islands, and other Earth Masses. Depending on factors such as time, items, and Pokémon in your party, Mirage Spots appear as they disappear! Once in Mirage, you’ll usually run into a Legendary Pokémon that you once thought you could never catch.
Visit all mirage locations and catch the legends!
One of the features of Secret Bases is that you can collect flags to increase the special skills of Secret Buddies and get special items. If you manage to collect 1000 flags, your Secret Pals special skills will be upgraded to the maximum and you will also get Confetti Ball and Garchompite.
The Pokémon Contest returns from the original Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald games. Now it has been updated and redesigned for the better. Not only does your Pokémon become much more attractive and spectacular by entering contests, you also get a variety of items from fans. If your Pokémon wins a Master Rank Contest and becomes a Contest Star, it gets an attractive special effect that is displayed whenever you send it into battle.
The coach card changes color every time you achieve something significant in the game. For OR/AS the colors are Bronze, Silver and Gold and you will get a color that matches your accomplishments. To get the «Gold Trainer Card» — the highest trainer card of all, you need to complete the following steps:
- Defeat the Elite Four
- Complete Hoenn Pokédex
- Leader Defeat on Lane 50 Battle Maison
Earning Platinum Crowns means that you have met and caught all Pokémon (including hidden ones) on the Pokenaw routes.
To make this a challenge and also encourage them all to catch, try to get all the Platinum Crowns on all the routes in the game.
It’s fun, appetizing and satisfying! The Beatles food court is making a delicious comeback! Now that you are almost done with the game, why not take part in this unique competition. You order food and fight with other visitors! Who knows? You can even meet a special trainer at the Food Court and win a special prize.
Note: Mauville food court battles are available in single, double and triple battles.
If you can’t think of something to do, why not do whatever it takes to decorate your Secret Base. Not only do you enjoy developing the best Secret Base in the world, you can also share it with the world! Also, getting all the furniture and decorations in the game is a challenge in itself!
Have you ever dreamed of seeing all the moves in Pokemon games? Have you ever wondered what all the moves look like? Well, now is your chance! Not all movements can be learned with TMs (Technical Machines), but this is just the beginning! To be exact, there are about a hundred of them, so collect them all and teach everyone your Pokémon!
Mega Stones? Of course! Mega Evolutions has always been cool since they were introduced! So why not collect all the Mega Stones and see all the amazing Mega Evolutions in the game? I’m sure every Mega Evolution is a must! You won’t regret it!
Since when have there been so many and so many berries? Not just a few berries anymore — there are a billion of them! You do not trust me? Why not go around the Hoenn area and collect them all? Spread the berries and plant them around the world! Plus, you can turn them into Pokeblocks and feed them to your Pokemon.
