In this article you're going to learn how to catch Groudon, Rayquaza, and Kyogre in Pokémon Emerald!
Steps
Rayquaza
-
1Go to Sky Pillar, and press A in front of Rayquaza (who is at the top of the pillar).
-
2Go to Sootopolis City. 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.Advertisement
-
3Use 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.
-
4When Rayquaza's health bar turns red, throw Ultra Balls balls frequently. 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.
Groudon
-
1Defeat Team Magma so that they release Groudon from captivity.
-
2After defeating the Elite Four, go to the Weather Institute, and talk to the scientist on the topmost floor. He will tell you the route Groudon is on (randomized).
-
3Go to the route the scientist mentioned (Groudon should be in a cave). Make sure to bring level 55+ Pokémon, 50+ Ultra Balls, and 1 Master Ball (if you still have one). Go into battle. Put Groudon to Sleep, and then use Ultra Balls or a Master Ball.
Kyogre
-
1Defeat Team Aqua so that they release Kyogre.
-
2Use Dive to get to Kyogre, because it is in an underwater cave. 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.

QuestionDo I have to defeat the Elite Four to get Groudon?Community AnswerYes, then you have to beat the champion (Wallace), and go to the weather institute.
Warnings
- Use your Master Ball wisely. Using it on Rayquaza is the best choice, because Rayquaza is the strongest out of the the three legendaries.⧼thumbs_response⧽
- Remember, do not knock out any of the legendaries! You will never be able to encounter them again.⧼thumbs_response⧽
