[[File:Hoenn Route 133 RSE.png|thumb|Route 133]]
This is a fun place to go if you want to show off your battling skills, and you can purchase valuable items with [[Battle Points]] you've won. This is mainly a place to have fun and practice your skills. There is an {{DL|Stats judge|In Generation III|old man}} in the house north of the Pokémon Center that can check the [[IV]]s of your Pokémon, if you're into that sort of thing. There is also a Level 40 {{p|Sudowoodo}} that people have mistaken for a tree. If you water it with the [[Wailmer Pail]], it will attack and you can choose to capture or defeat it. Note that the Battle Frontier is for extremely skilled Trainers, who can get long streaks. That is the main purpose of most facilities, to train you not to lose.
[[File:Hoenn Route 134 RS.png|thumb|Route 134]]


====Salon Maiden Anabel's Silver Symbol challenge====
The waters of Routes {{rtn|132|Hoenn}}, {{rtn|133|Hoenn}}, and {{rtn|134|Hoenn}} hold strong ocean currents that make travel difficult. While moving primarily westbound, these currents can send you sailing in almost any direction. This makes it necessary to revisit the area in order to explore every island.

Ride the central currents to Swimmer Gilbert, then sail westward to reach a [[Rare Candy]] opposite Black Belt Kiyo on the northwest island. From here, Surf westward through the northern shallows of Route 133 to reach the north side of the route's northwest island. Collect the [[Star Piece]] here, then sail west to the calm waters on Route 134's north side. Take the current south of here to reach the large, thin island. Fight Black Belt Hitoshi and Battle Girl Reyna, collect the nearby [[Carbos]], then Surf west to reach the shallows outside [[Slateport City]].

====Salon Maiden Anabel's Gold Symbol challenge====
===Central path===
{{Party|color={{frontier color}}|bordercolor={{frontier color dark}}|headcolor={{gold color light}}
Ride the southern currents to the southeast island to fight Fisherman Ronald. Wade into the waters off the north end of the shallows to follow the current to Black Belt Kiyo on the northwest island. Sail westward to ride the current to the southern of two shallows on Route 133, where you'll need to fight Experts Conor and Mollie before collecting the [[Big Pearl]] there. Continue westward to reach the south side of Route 133's northwest island, and battle Bird Keeper Beck. Sail west again to battle Sailor Hudson in the shallows of the large island. Head back into the water to follow the current to Slateport City.

===To the Depths===
|ability=Pressure|level=50, 60-100|type1=Electric|held=Lum Berry
Ride the southern currents to fight Fisherman Ronald on the crescent-shaped island, then sail westward to a calm patch of water surrounded by shallows. Grab the [[Protein]], then follow the currents westward to be funneled through a bottleneck; this leads to calm waters with two Swimmers, Debra and Franklin. Pass through the rocky southern islet, collecting the [[Max Revive]] along the way, to reach a rectangular patch of shallow water situated between Routes 133 and 134. Step into the water from the west-central side to reach a deep, dark pit of water surrounded by a ring of rocks. {{m|Dive}} beneath the waves and follow the underwater path southward. The markings on the nearby wall are an ancient form of writing, and translate to ''<sc>Go up here</sc>.'' Surface from this point to emerge in an ancient ruin known as the [[Sealed Chamber]]. Once you're done exploring the Sealed Chamber, surface on Route 134 where you left off and continue west and then south to a small maze of rocks. Leave the maze through its westernmost exit to Sailor Hudson's island, then Surf further west to reach the shallows outside Slateport City.

===Sealed Chamber===
|move2=Dragon Claw|move2type=Dragon
The [[Sealed Chamber]] is a mysterious ruin located in the depths of {{rt|134|Hoenn}}. The many stone tablets positioned around the chamber feature the same mysterious writing that was found near the underwater entrance. Solving some of [[Hoenn]]'s oldest mysteries hinges on deciphering this age-old system.

====Entrance====
|ability=Unknown|level=50, 60-100|type1=Normal|held=Chesto Berry
The first chamber holds ten stone tablets that act as a key to decoding this ancient writing system, known as [[Braille]]. These 28 characters correspond to the 26 letters of the alphabet, as well as the comma and period. Inspect the markings on the cavern's north wall to reveal a phrase, which translates to ''<sc>Dig here</sc>''. Using {{m|Dig|the field move}} causes the wall to fall away, granting you access to a second cavern.

====Palace Maven Spenser's Pokemon Silver Symbol challenge====

{{Party|color={{frontier color}}|bordercolor={{frontier color dark}}|headcolor={{silver color light}}
The central ruins are encircled by {{DL|Sealed Chamber|Mounds 2|six more stone tablets}} which tell of a powerful Pokémon that was sealed away. The message on the north wall reads, ''<sc>First comes {{p|Wailord}}. Last comes {{p|Relicanth}}.</sc>'' Relicanth can be found only in a few underwater areas, while Wailord's pre-evolved form, {{p|Wailmer}}, can be found in many areas with the [[Good Rod]] or [[Super Rod]]. Position these Pokémon in their respective places in your party and examine the wall again. This causes a mighty earthquake to rock the Sealed Chamber, while the sound of doors opening echoes from somewhere far away. Three separate ruins have now been opened, and each one holds a legendary Pokémon!

When you return to {{ci|Sootopolis}}, you find the two super-ancient Pokémon still locked in battle. {{p|Rayquaza}} suddenly appears in a beam of green light shining through the storm clouds, and quickly descends to the city. It hovers above the two combatants, and ends the fighting with a single, intimidating roar. {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} flee, Rayquaza flies off back to [[Sky Pillar]] with another loud cry, and the weather returns to normal. With the super-ancient Pokémon gone, you can now find wild Pokémon while surfing in Sootopolis City.

==Weather Institute==
===Move Tutor===
There is a meteorologist here that has found unusual weather patterns. On certain Routes, there will be a [[Weather conditions|downpour]] or [[Weather conditions|unusually bright sunlight]]. Routes with unusual weather are where either [[Terra Cave]] or [[Marine Cave]] will appear. The caves are where {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} await, respectively. But you have to get to the Route that the cave is on very quickly. If you don't, the cave will vanish and its counterpart will be available instead! Before you start chasing these miraculously teleporting caves, keep in mind that Kyogre and Groudon are Level 70 and extremely powerful.
Visit the Pokémon Center to prepare for the upcoming Gym. Inside, you find a girl near the bookcase on the left side of the counter. Speak to her, and she offers to teach the move {{m|Double-Edge}} to a Pokémon, one time only.


==Catching Kyogre and Groudon==
===Sootopolis Gym===
===Marine Cave===
[[File:Sootopolis Gym 1F E.png|thumb|Sootopolis Gym, 1F]]
[[File:Hoenn Marine Cave Map.png|right|frame|Marine Cave locations]]
[[File:Sootopolis Gym B1F E.png|thumb|Sootopolis Gym, B1F]]
[[Marine Cave]] can appear on the following routes, depending on the scientist's indication of unusually heavy rain:
* {{rt|105|Hoenn}}
* {{rt|125|Hoenn}}
* {{rt|127|Hoenn}}
* {{rt|129|Hoenn}}


When you arrive at the route the scientist indicated, you must find and dive into a small dive square somewhere on the route. Resurface, enter the cave there, and find {{p|Kyogre}} in a pool of water at the back. It is stationary and will not disappear, so don't worry about leaving the cave to return later if you feel you can't fight it yet. You can even enter battle with it and then run away, and it will still be there. However, if you defeat it, it will disappear forever, so be careful!

{{Pokémon
The [[Sootopolis Gym]] Specializes in {{type|Water}} Pokémon. {{t|Grass}}- and {{type|Electric}} moves are best here, while {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{t|Rock}} Pokémon may struggle. The Gym features three platforms where each icy tile must be traversed once in order to defrost the next stairway. Walking over an ice tile once cracks it; passing by a second time shatters it, leaving you to fall to the Gym's snowy underbelly where plenty of Trainers await.

|move2=Rest|move2type=Psychic
|move3=Sheer Cold|move3type=Ice
|move4=Double-Edge|move4type=Normal}}


When you feel prepared to capture Kyogre, make sure that you have 40 or more [[Net Ball]]s in your [[Bag]]. This Poké Ball variety is the one that works best on {{type|Water}}s. Anyway, navigate your way to the end of Marine Cave, '''save your game''', and talk to Kyogre to initiate a battle. Lower its HP bar to red with a good {{t|Grass}}- or {{t|Electric}}-type attack and use other moves, if necessary, to get its HP to the ideal zone. Keep throwing Net Balls until you catch it. It's important to keep in mind that Kyogre knows {{m|Rest}}, a move which completely restores its HP and removes [[status ailment]]s. However, Kyogre then has to sleep for three turns and its [[catch rate]] is increased during that time. Also, watch out for {{m|Hydro Pump}}, a powerful move which has [[STAB]] and greatly increases in power because of {{a|Drizzle|the rain}}, and the [[OHKO move]] {{m|Sheer Cold}}. Remember, if you accidentally defeat Kyogre, just turn off the game and it will be as if you hadn't battled, since you saved beforehand.
The first puzzle is a 3×3 grid of ice, with two icy rocks as obstacles. Starting on the south-central tile, move ←1, ↑1, →2, ↑1 and ←1. This reveals the first stairway.


===Terra Cave===
The second puzzle is a 7×3 grid, with two icy rocks as obstacles. From the south-central tile, move ←3, ↑2, →2, ↓1, →2, ↓1, →2, ↑2, and ←3. This reveals the second stairway.
[[File:Terra Cave map.gif|257px|right|thumb|Terra Cave locations]]
[[Terra Cave]] can appear on the following routes, depending on the scientist's indication of unusually bright sunlight:
* {{rt|114|Hoenn}}
* {{rt|115|Hoenn}}
* {{rt|116|Hoenn}}
* {{rt|118|Hoenn}}


When you arrive at the route the scientist indicated, you must find the cave bathed in bright sunlight on the route. (On Route 104, you will need {{m|Waterfall}} to access it.) Enter the cave and find {{p|Groudon}} in a pool of lava at the back. It is stationary and will not disappear, so don't worry about leaving the cave to return later if you feel you can't fight it yet. You can even enter battle with it and then run away, and it will still be there. (Don't defeat it, however, unless you are going to trade someone for it or don't plan on capturing it at all.)
The final puzzle is an 11×4 grid, with six icy rocks as obstacles. Starting on the south-central tile, move ←5, ↑3, →1, ↓1, →1, ↓1, →1, ↑2, →1, ↓1, →1, ↓1, →2, ↑1, →1, ↓1, →1, ↓1, →1, ↑3, and ←5. This reveals the stairway to the Gym Leader.


{{Pokémon
[[Juan]] leads with his {{p|Luvdisc}}; not much of a threat, but it may still confuse its target with {{m|Sweet Kiss}}, and further hinder male targets with {{m|Attract}}. As a {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon, his {{p|Whiscash}} is only vulnerable to Grass moves; its {{m|Rain Dance}} temporarily strengthens Water moves, while {{m|Earthquake}} can deter {{type|Electric}} opponents. {{p|Sealeo}}'s {{2t|Ice|Water}} typing gives it additional weaknesses to {{t|Fighting}} and {{t|Rock}} moves; {{m|Water Pulse}} and {{m|Body Slam}} deal damage while {{m|Encore}} forces the target to repeat its previous move. His {{p|Crawdaunt}} is not a major threat, as all Water moves are [[Special move]]s and its {{stat|Special Attack}} is lower than its {{stat|Attack}}, but it can still deal damage. Finally, his {{p|Kingdra}} can inflict serious damage with Water Pulse, and use {{m|Ice Beam}} to deal with Grass types; use powerful moves to defeat it quickly, before it can regain health with {{m|Rest}}.

When you're prepared to capture Groudon, make sure that you have 40 or more [[Ultra Ball]]s in your Bag. These will provide the highest [[catch rate]] in this battle. Once you've gotten through the cave to Groudon, '''save your game''' and then talk to it to start a battle. Use a good {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, or {{t|Water}}-type move and then attacks that do normal damage to get Groudon's HP bar down to red. Then, throw Ultra Balls until you catch it. Like Kyogre, Groudon knows {{m|Rest}} and can therefore heal itself, but its [[catch rate]] increases while it's sleeping. {{a|Drought|Groudon's Ability}} causes {{m|Fire Blast}}'s power to increase by 50% and allows {{m|SolarBeam}} to be used without charging, so watch out! Any Pokémon hit by {{m|Fissure}} will [[OHKO move|instantly faint]]. Since you saved beforehand, you can turn off the power to reset the game if something goes wrong in this battle.

A Relicanth can be caught in underwater patches of [[seaweed]], and Wailord evolves from {{p|Wailmer}} at Level 40 and is also extremely rarely found on {{rt|129|Hoenn}}. (Evolving Wailord from Wailmer is much easier than trying to find a wild one, since it has a 1% encounter rate.)

On {{rt|134|Hoenn}}, there is a certain spot where you can use {{m|Dive}}. Dive there, and once you're underwater, head through the door and continue traveling south to reach a strange inscription. this inscription is coded in [[Braille]]. At the exact spot in front of the inscription, use Dive again. You will now be in a mysterious cave filled with mounds of earth. Position Wailord in the first slot of your party and Relicanth in the sixth. At the north end of the cave, there is another inscription. Use Dig right in front of it to open the door to the next room. In the second room, read the inscription in the northern part of the room and there will be an earthquake! The Regis are now unlocked.
Defeated, Juan awards you the {{badge|Rain}}, which ensures obedience from all Pokémon and enables the use of {{m|Waterfall}} in the field. He also gives you {{TM|03|Water Pulse}} as a prize, and registers himself in your PokéNav. With all eight Badges, your next destination is the [[Pokémon League]] in [[Ever Grande City]] to the southeast. To get there, sail southward from [[Mossdeep City]], then eastward through {{rt|128|Hoenn}}'s narrow channel. However, you may want to pick up a few more items before leaving Sootopolis.


===Competitive brothers===
In the house northeast of the Pokémon Center, there are two brothers who are arguing over two different species of Pokémon. The younger brother is a Fisherman, while the older brother is a Hiker. The younger brother prefers Seedot and the older brother prefers Lotad.


The brothers are arguing over the sizes of their favorite Pokémon. If a brother is shown a Pokémon of the species he prefers, he will calculate its size and give the player an Elixir if it is larger than any he has seen before. The initial record size is the average height of the species being argued over, which is 0.5 meters.


====Regice====
===A Berry A Day===
[[File:Island Cave RSE.png|180px|left|thumb|Outside of Island Cave]]
Kiri will give you two Berries each day. She gives one Berry from among the {{b|Pomeg}}, {{b|Kelpsy}}, {{b|Qualot}}, {{b|Hondew}}, {{b|Grepa}}, {{b|Tamato}}, {{b|Cornn}}, {{b|Magost}}, {{b|Rabuta}}, or {{b|Nomel}} Berries; and the other from the {{b|Figy}} or {{b|Iapapa}} specimens.
{{p|Regice}} awaits in the [[Island Cave]], accessible by Surf on {{rt|105|Hoenn}}. This cave also has a puzzle, but it's easy. Following the braille inscription's directions ("<sc>Stay close to the wall. Run around one lap.</sc>"), run counterclockwise once around the the inside of the cave, staying as close to the wall as possible. If you do it right, the door will open.


Before you talk to Regice to start the battle, make sure that you have 45 or more [[Ultra Ball]]s with you. It will take 10, 20, 30, or maybe even 40 tries to catch this Pokémon. If you think you're ready, '''save your game''' and then talk to Regice. (Prepare for some interesting battle music.)

Regice is weak to {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Steel}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{t|Fighting}}-type moves. Don't take it lightly because of all these weaknesses— its defensive stats are massive, with Special Defense in particular being truly astounding. The only one of its attacks you need to be wary of is {{m|Icy Wind}}. With Regice's abysmal Attack, {{m|Superpower}} and {{m|AncientPower}} won't do much. Get its HP down to red and then keep chucking Ultra Balls until you catch it. If something goes wrong, like if you accidentally knock Regice out or it knocks itself out with {{m|Struggle}}, simply turn off your game (if you saved beforehand as instructed) and everything will be OK again.
====Regirock====
[[File:Desert Ruins RSE.png|180px|left|thumb|Outside of Desert Ruins]]
{{p|Regirock}} awaits in the [[Desert Ruins]] of {{rt|111|Hoenn}}'s [[desert]]. You will need {{m|Rock Smash}}. This braille inscription says, "<sc>Left, left, down, down. Then, use Rock Smash.</sc>" Read the inscription and take two steps west and two steps south. Then, use Rock Smash and the door will open. As with Regice, before you start the battle, make sure that you have 45 or more [[Ultra Ball]]s with you. It will take 10, 20, 30, or maybe even 40 tries to catch this Pokémon. If you think you're ready, '''save your game''' and then talk to Regirock.

Regirock is weak to Fighting-, {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Steel}}-, and {{t|Water}}-type moves.  Use a supereffective move or two to get Registeel's HP down to under half, and then use normally effective or "not very effective" attacks to gets its HP down to red. Then, throw Ultra Balls until you catch it, making sure to watch out for {{m|Rock Throw}}, {{m|Superpower}}, and {{m|AncientPower}}! Regirock's base Attack of 100 (which can boost with {{m|Curse}}) can be a real threat. Don't use Pokémon weak to Rock or Fighting in this battle unless they are extremely high-leveled. If things go wrong, turn off the power and things will be OK again. Always save beforehand when attempting to capture Legendary Pokémon unless you're using a [[Master Ball]].
====Registeel====
[[File:Ancient Tomb RSE.png|180px|left|thumb|Outside of Ancient Tomb]]
{{p|Registeel}} awaits in the [[Ancient Tomb]] on {{rt|120|Hoenn}}. You will need {{m|Flash}}. The inscription reads "<sc>Those who inherit our will, shine in the middle.</sc>" this time. What you need to do is stand in the center of the cave and use Flash. If you do it right, the door will open. You know the drill— just like with the other two Regis, first make sure that you have 45 or more Ultra Balls with you, then save your game and then talk to Registeel.

Now that you've caught all the Legendary Pokémon in the game, there aren't any official quests left, except completing the Pokédex! With 386 Pokémon in this game, it'll be harder than it was in the past two generations, and you'll need to [[trade]] with other games to get them all, but completing the [[National Pokédex]] is an achievable goal. You can also [[PokéNav#Match Call|rematch]] the [[Gym Leader]]s and perfect your skills at the Battle Frontier. This concludes the Emerald walkthrough!

Latest revision as of 09:55, 16 September 2023

Routes 132, 133, and 134 (optional)

Route 132
Route 133
Route 134

The waters of Routes 132, 133, and 134 hold strong ocean currents that make travel difficult. While moving primarily westbound, these currents can send you sailing in almost any direction. This makes it necessary to revisit the area in order to explore every island.

Northern path

Ride the central currents to Swimmer Gilbert, then sail westward to reach a Rare Candy opposite Black Belt Kiyo on the northwest island. From here, Surf westward through the northern shallows of Route 133 to reach the north side of the route's northwest island. Collect the Star Piece here, then sail west to the calm waters on Route 134's north side. Take the current south of here to reach the large, thin island. Fight Black Belt Hitoshi and Battle Girl Reyna, collect the nearby Carbos, then Surf west to reach the shallows outside Slateport City.

Central path

Ride the southern currents to the southeast island to fight Fisherman Ronald. Wade into the waters off the north end of the shallows to follow the current to Black Belt Kiyo on the northwest island. Sail westward to ride the current to the southern of two shallows on Route 133, where you'll need to fight Experts Conor and Mollie before collecting the Big Pearl there. Continue westward to reach the south side of Route 133's northwest island, and battle Bird Keeper Beck. Sail west again to battle Sailor Hudson in the shallows of the large island. Head back into the water to follow the current to Slateport City.

To the Depths

Ride the southern currents to fight Fisherman Ronald on the crescent-shaped island, then sail westward to a calm patch of water surrounded by shallows. Grab the Protein, then follow the currents westward to be funneled through a bottleneck; this leads to calm waters with two Swimmers, Debra and Franklin. Pass through the rocky southern islet, collecting the Max Revive along the way, to reach a rectangular patch of shallow water situated between Routes 133 and 134. Step into the water from the west-central side to reach a deep, dark pit of water surrounded by a ring of rocks. Dive beneath the waves and follow the underwater path southward. The markings on the nearby wall are an ancient form of writing, and translate to Go up here. Surface from this point to emerge in an ancient ruin known as the Sealed Chamber. Once you're done exploring the Sealed Chamber, surface on Route 134 where you left off and continue west and then south to a small maze of rocks. Leave the maze through its westernmost exit to Sailor Hudson's island, then Surf further west to reach the shallows outside Slateport City.

Sealed Chamber, Entrance
Sealed Chamber, Back Room

Sealed Chamber

The Sealed Chamber is a mysterious ruin located in the depths of Route 134. The many stone tablets positioned around the chamber feature the same mysterious writing that was found near the underwater entrance. Solving some of Hoenn's oldest mysteries hinges on deciphering this age-old system.

Entrance

The first chamber holds ten stone tablets that act as a key to decoding this ancient writing system, known as Braille. These 28 characters correspond to the 26 letters of the alphabet, as well as the comma and period. Inspect the markings on the cavern's north wall to reveal a phrase, which translates to Dig here. Using the field move causes the wall to fall away, granting you access to a second cavern.

Back Room

The central ruins are encircled by six more stone tablets which tell of a powerful Pokémon that was sealed away. The message on the north wall reads, First comes Wailord. Last comes Relicanth. Relicanth can be found only in a few underwater areas, while Wailord's pre-evolved form, Wailmer, can be found in many areas with the Good Rod or Super Rod. Position these Pokémon in their respective places in your party and examine the wall again. This causes a mighty earthquake to rock the Sealed Chamber, while the sound of doors opening echoes from somewhere far away. Three separate ruins have now been opened, and each one holds a legendary Pokémon!

Desert Ruins (optional)

Desert Ruins, exterior
Desert Ruins, interior

The Desert Ruins lie among the dunes of Route 111. Another coded message can be found on the north wall.

Entrance

Examine the north wall to view the message, which reads, Left, left, down, down. Then, use Rock Smash. Close the message box and move exactly as instructed, two steps west and two steps south. Have a Pokémon use Rock Smash from this location, and a secret passage opens in the north wall!

Back Room

Follow the passage to the back cavern, where the legendary Pokémon Regirock awaits.

The Island Cave sits on a small isle in the northwest part of Route 105. Another coded message can be found on the north wall.

Entrance

Examine the north wall to view the message, which reads, Stay close to the wall. Run around one lap. Close the message box and make a lap of the chamber, staying near the walls. After doing so, a secret passage appears out of nowhere!

Back Room

Follow the passage to the back cavern, where the legendary Pokémon Regice awaits.

Entrance

Examine the north wall to view the message, which reads, Those who inherit our will, shine in the middle. Close the message box and move to the center of the cave. Have a Pokémon use Flash from this location, and a secret passage appears out of nowhere!

Back Room

Follow the passage to the back cavern, where the legendary Pokémon Registeel awaits.

Sky Pillar

Sky Pillar, Exterior
Sky Pillar, 6F

On the northern side of Route 131, Sky Pillar is an ancient, towering altar built for the ascension of Hoenn's ageless protector, the legendary dragon Rayquaza.

Exterior

After climbing through the tunnel from the sea, you emerge on the island's upper level. Wallace approaches you from the tower, having just unlocked the door. Sudden earthquakes rock the island as the weather distortions continue to spread from Sootopolis. He's worried about the city and heads back, leaving you to scale the tower on your own.

1F-5F

Enter the tower and climb the stairs to 4F. Step onto the cracked tiles on the north side of the floor; this causes you to fall back down to a previously-inaccessible part of 3F. Climb to 5F and take the stairs in the northeast to reach the apex.

Apex

Upon reaching the rooftop, you find the legendary creature beyond one final flight of stairs. Approach the dragon and it awakens, before flying off with a cry loud enough to shake the tower. Follow it back to Sootopolis!

Sootopolis City (second visit)

Rayquaza to the Rescue

Rayquaza quelling the battle.

When you return to Sootopolis, you find the two super-ancient Pokémon still locked in battle. Rayquaza suddenly appears in a beam of green light shining through the storm clouds, and quickly descends to the city. It hovers above the two combatants, and ends the fighting with a single, intimidating roar. Groudon and Kyogre flee, Rayquaza flies off back to Sky Pillar with another loud cry, and the weather returns to normal. With the super-ancient Pokémon gone, you can now find wild Pokémon while surfing in Sootopolis City.

Note: If you were to return to the Sky Pillar, Rayquaza would be there, waiting to battle.

Kiri still will not give out Berries after Rayquaza appears here in the city, you should first defeat the Gym Leader of Sootopolis City.

Maxie, Archie, Steven, and Wallace all witness these events from the Gym island. Kiri still will not give out Berries after Rayquaza appears here in the city, you should first defeat the Gym Leader of Sootopolis City. The team leaders realize and accept their mistakes, then leave for Mt. Pyre to return the Red and Blue Orbs. Wallace thanks you on behalf of the people of Hoenn, and gives you HM07 (Waterfall) as a gift. With this, a Pokémon can force its way up a waterfall, but using it requires defeating the Sootopolis Gym first!

Move Tutor

Visit the Pokémon Center to prepare for the upcoming Gym. Inside, you find a girl near the bookcase on the left side of the counter. Speak to her, and she offers to teach the move Double-Edge to a Pokémon, one time only.

Sootopolis Gym

Sootopolis Gym, 1F
Sootopolis Gym, B1F

Sootopolis City Pokémon Gym
Leader: Juan

The Gym Leader with the beauty of pure water!

The Sootopolis Gym Specializes in Water-type Pokémon. Grass- and Electric-type moves are best here, while Fire, Ground, and Rock Pokémon may struggle. The Gym features three platforms where each icy tile must be traversed once in order to defrost the next stairway. Walking over an ice tile once cracks it; passing by a second time shatters it, leaving you to fall to the Gym's snowy underbelly where plenty of Trainers await.

The first puzzle is a 3×3 grid of ice, with two icy rocks as obstacles. Starting on the south-central tile, move ←1, ↑1, →2, ↑1 and ←1. This reveals the first stairway.

The second puzzle is a 7×3 grid, with two icy rocks as obstacles. From the south-central tile, move ←3, ↑2, →2, ↓1, →2, ↓1, →2, ↑2, and ←3. This reveals the second stairway.

The final puzzle is an 11×4 grid, with six icy rocks as obstacles. Starting on the south-central tile, move ←5, ↑3, →1, ↓1, →1, ↓1, →1, ↑2, →1, ↓1, →1, ↓1, →2, ↑1, →1, ↓1, →1, ↓1, →1, ↑3, and ←5. This reveals the stairway to the Gym Leader.

Juan leads with his Luvdisc; not much of a threat, but it may still confuse its target with Sweet Kiss, and further hinder male targets with Attract. As a Water/Ground Pokémon, his Whiscash is only vulnerable to Grass moves; its Rain Dance temporarily strengthens Water moves, while Earthquake can deter Electric-type opponents. Sealeo's Ice/Water typing gives it additional weaknesses to Fighting and Rock moves; Water Pulse and Body Slam deal damage while Encore forces the target to repeat its previous move. His Crawdaunt is not a major threat, as all Water moves are Special moves and its Special Attack is lower than its Attack, but it can still deal damage. Finally, his Kingdra can inflict serious damage with Water Pulse, and use Ice Beam to deal with Grass types; use powerful moves to defeat it quickly, before it can regain health with Rest.

Sootopolis Gym
The Rain Badge



Defeated, Juan awards you the Rain Badge, which ensures obedience from all Pokémon and enables the use of Waterfall in the field. He also gives you TM03 (Water Pulse) as a prize, and registers himself in your PokéNav. With all eight Badges, your next destination is the Pokémon League in Ever Grande City to the southeast. To get there, sail southward from Mossdeep City, then eastward through Route 128's narrow channel. However, you may want to pick up a few more items before leaving Sootopolis.

Competitive brothers

In the house northeast of the Pokémon Center, there are two brothers who are arguing over two different species of Pokémon. The younger brother is a Fisherman, while the older brother is a Hiker. The younger brother prefers Seedot and the older brother prefers Lotad.

The brothers are arguing over the sizes of their favorite Pokémon. If a brother is shown a Pokémon of the species he prefers, he will calculate its size and give the player an Elixir if it is larger than any he has seen before. The initial record size is the average height of the species being argued over, which is 0.5 meters.

A Berry A Day

Kiri will give you two Berries each day. She gives one Berry from among the Pomeg, Kelpsy, Qualot, Hondew, Grepa, Tamato, Cornn, Magost, Rabuta, or Nomel Berries; and the other from the Figy or Iapapa specimens.
