Rayquaza

  1. Go to Sky Pillar, and press A in front of Rayquaza (who is at the top of the pillar).
  2. A cutscene should play. When it's is finished, press A in front of Rayquaza (at the Sky Pillar again), and then go into battle.

  3. Use level 80+ Pokémon (Rayquaza is level 70), and you should have 50+ Ultra Balls (or, if you still have it, your Master Ball), and then make Rayquaza fall asleep. Paralysis is also an option, but Sleep lasts longer. If you have it, attack using False Swipe.
  4. If you're using your Master Ball, you probably need to lower the health to about half, but throwing a Master Ball when Rayquaza's health is red will almost always capture it.

  1. Defeat Team Aqua so that they release Kyogre .
  2. Bring level 55+ Grass Pokémon, because Kyogre is an ice/water type Pokémon. The same method applies mentioned above: put Kyogre to Sleep, lower it's health to red, and keep throwing Poké balls.

    If you use it against Rayquaza, it won't work, because it is a flying type pokemon. Ground attacks won't work against flying types or pokemon with the ability to levitate.

  • Question
    Do I have to defeat the Elite Four to get Groudon?

    Yes, then you have to beat the champion (Wallace), and go to the weather institute.

      Tips

      • Acquire False Swipe. This is a move that, no matter how many times you hit your opponent, they're always left with 1 HP. We recommend using False Swipe the whole battle (maybe a few other moves at the beginning), so as to not accidentally knock the legendaries out.
        Thanks

      • Save before battling any of the legendaries, so that you can start over if your Pokémon faint.

      Warnings

      • Remember, do not knock out any of the legendaries! You will never be able to encounter them again.
        Thanks

      • Use your Master Ball wisely. Using it on Rayquaza is the best choice, because Rayquaza is the strongest out of the three legendaries.
        Thanks
