    You will need a Pokémon that knows Dig, a Relicanth at the end of your party, and a Wailord at the front of your party. You may also want to have a translator for braille since you'll be encountering lots of runes in braille; however, you can continue through without reading these messages. [1]

    When you use dig, you reveal a cave entrance. Go through and you'll see "Sealed Chamber" in the upper left corner of your screen. [5]
    • Run north again to the next braille sign and press A to read it. If you have Wailord at the front of your party and Relicanth at the end, an earthquake should be triggered and a door will open at each of the Regi sites.
    • You'll definitely want to save here so you don't have to open the doors again.

    How can I get Latias and Latios in Pokemon Emerald?
    Community Answer
    One can be captured after you beat the elite four. Your mom will ask what color the legendary Pokemon was on TV. If you say red, it becomes Latias; if blue, it becomes Latios. The other can only be acquired through the use of a special item granted through an event known as the Eon Ticket. If you're using an emulator, cheat codes can also allow you access to the Eon Ticket and other Lati that you didn't get.
