Question

Do I need a Swampert to catch Rayquaza, especially since I have a Froakie?

Community Answer

You do not need a Swampert to catch Rayquaza. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (ORAS), you can only encounter Rayquaza after you have beaten the Elite Four and completed the Delta Episode storyline.

Question

What happens if Rayquaza defeats my Pokemon?

Blubb lé Blubb

Community Answer

If you white-out, it should reappear at the exact location when you get back. The same thing happens if you flee from the battle. If you defeat it, it won't reappear. Save your game before fighting it.

Question

Can I use a Dusk Ball to catch Rayquaza?

Community Answer

You can use a Dusk Ball, but its increased effectiveness only applies when the Pokémon is in a cave or building, which does not apply to Rayquaza at Sky Pillar.

Question

In Pokémon Emerald, can I catch a Fairy-type Pokémon before obtaining Rayquaza?

Verin

Top Answerer

No, you cannot catch a Fairy-type Pokémon before obtaining Rayquaza in Pokémon Emerald. Fairy-type Pokémon were introduced in Generation 6, while Emerald is a Generation 3 game. However, you can encounter Fairy-type Pokémon before obtaining Rayquaza in later games like Pokémon Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon, and Sword & Shield (with the Expansion Pass).

Can I Mega Evolve Rayquaza in Pokémon Emerald?

Can I catch Rayquaza with an acro bike?

No, you need the mach bike to cross over the crumbling sections. The acro bike won't work, you'll just fall through the floor.
