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.

How do I reload the save right after the fight with Rayquaza in Pokemon Emerald?

Exit the game and open it back up. This should keep the progress from before the fight.

Question

Can I capture Rayquaza with only one master ball?

Yes because the master ball has a 100% catch rate so there is no failing with a master ball if you use it.

Question

Can I catch Rayquaza with an acro bike?

Community Answer

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.

Question

Can you catch a fairy type before getting Rayquaza?

Verin

Top Answerer

No, at least not in Pokémon Emerald version. Fairy types were introduced in Gen 6; Emerald is Gen 3. You can however catch a fairy type before a Rayquaza in Pokémon Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon, and the Expansion Pass on Sword & Shield.
