Pokemon Glitches/Guide to Legendary Pokemon

With these new additions, two new glitches are present in Emerald.

• The Pomeg Glitch: By using a Pomeg Berry on a Pokemon that has been trained in HP and has 1 HP remaining, it will faint. By switching this Pokémon with an Egg and sending the Egg in battle, the Pokémon within the Egg will level up and learn techniques as if it already hatched.
• The Cloning Glitch: By abusing a two-second save delay in the Battle Frontier's Battle Tower, it is possible to duplicate Pokémon and items on Emerald. However, if the glitch is not performed properly, it could cause the Pokémon that is being cloned to disappear.
• The Berry glitch that was in Ruby and Sapphire has been fixed. However, a new variant does exist.
• There are minor additions to Pokémon abilities. The abilities Keen Eye and Intimidate lower the proportion of low level wild Pokémon appearing, Hustle and Vital Spirit make high level wild Pokémon more common, Pressure and Arena Trap increase the amount of wild Pokémon that appear, Sticky Hold and Suction Cups increase the ability to catch Pokémon while fishing, etc.
• In the PC, moving capabilities have been added; players can now move Pokémon in large numbers, as well as give and remove items Pokémon are holding (before, players would have to withdraw the Pokémon to remove or give items).
• Wireless Adapter support (introduced in FireRed and LeafGreen) has been added.
• Unlike Ruby and Sapphire, Emerald CANNOT trade with any other game that does not take place in Hoenn until the player receives the National Pokédex, only available after defeating the Elite Four (Ruby and Sapphire can, after trading via cable with Fire Red/Leaf Green, imediately giving the Ruby/Sapphire the National Pokédex).
• Double battles are now a lot more frequent as two separate people can team up against the player.
• A few areas that were empty of Pokémon Trainers have been reworked to include more Trainers.
• The Gyms’ layouts have changed, and the Pokémon of the Gym Leaders and members of the Elite Four have changed (this excludes Phoebe’s and Glacia’s teams).
• The game also has a Battle Tent in place of three of the Pokémon Contest Halls, each with a different Battle Frontier event. The Pokémon Contest Hall in Lilycove now contains all levels of Pokémon Contests.
• Pokémon Link Contests may be held with 2 to 4 players, but only if playing with other Emerald Game Paks. Playing with Ruby and Sapphire requires 4 players.
• The method of opening the caves to the three “Regi-” Pokémon (Regirock, Regice, and Registeel) is different. For Regirock, the player must go 2 steps left, then 2 steps down, and use Rock Smash. For Registeel, players must use Flash in the middle of his cave. For Regice, players bike, run or walk a lap around the room.
• Both Groudon and Kyogre can be caught; in Ruby and Sapphire, the legendary that appeared depended on who was on the cover of the game (Groudon could be caught in Ruby; Kyogre in Sapphire). However, both are now at Level 70 (they were at Level 45 in R/S). As a side affect of this, both Team Aqua and Team Magma are the protagonist’s enemies, and both of their hideouts can be entered.
• Team Magma now has a hideout in Jagged Pass that the character can access after obtaining the Magma Emblem in Mt. Pyre, while Team Aqua resides in the Seafloor Cavern and in the original base near Lilycove(this one is the official base of Team Aqua).
• Most of Wallace’s team has been altered, and he is the Pokémon League Champion, while Steven, the former Champion, is now in Meteor Falls, making his Pokémon stronger.
• The player can battle the Gym Leaders again after the Elite Four is defeated. All rematches are 2-on-2 fights and feature improved Pokémon teams, including some Kanto & Johto Pokémon.
• The Battle Frontier - a new way of battling. It takes the place of the Battle Tower in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire (although the tower is still there).
• After the player beats the Elite Four, a new section opens up in the Safari Zone. In the new section, the player can catch Johto Pokémon.
• After completing the Hoenn Pokédex, the player can get one of the Johto starters (Chikorita, Cyndaquil or Totodile) from Professor Birch.
• Both of the desert fossils can now be collected. Players first find them in the Mirage Tower, which occasionally appears in the Mauville Desert (Route 111). At the top, there is the Root Fossil (becomes Lileep) and the Claw Fossil (becomes Anorith). The second fossil disappears after the other one is taken, but can be found and collected in a Ditto-infested cave called the Desert Underpass in Fallarbor Town after the player beats the Elite Four.
• The player can capture Rayquaza by reaching the top of the Sky Pillar east of Pacifidlog Town on Route 131 before challenging the Elite Four, still at level 70. Before the player can catch it, he/she must go to it first to stop Kyogre and Groudon from fight, who were awakened by Team Magma and Aqua. After a cutscene, the player can go back to the Sky Pillar and try to capture it.
• Kyogre can be caught by going to the Weather Institute on Route 119 and talking to the scientist at the computer. He'll say that there is an amount of heavy rainfall in a specific location and it is necessary to have a Pokémon that knows how to Surf and Dive to get to the underwater cave where Kyogre is. Upon surfacing after catching Kyogre, the rainfall will subside and the dive area will disappear.
• Groudon can be caught the same as Kyogre except that the scientist upstairs at the Weather Institute will say that there have been intense sunlight in a specific location. There will be a cave that is there that isn't usually. After catching Groudon, the intense sunlight will subside and the cave entrance will disappear.
• Mew can be caught on a special hidden island called Faraway Island using a special ticket given away at Nintendo events.
• Lugia and Ho-oh can be caught at Navel Rock using a special ticket given away at Nintendo events.
• Deoxys can be caught on Birth Island using a special ticket given away at Nintendo events.
• The player must choose between Latias and Latios. The other can be obtained on Southern Island if the player has the Eon Ticket, which can be obtained by mixing records with a Ruby/Sapphire game that has an Eon Ticket.
• In Pokémon Emerald, Pichu can learn a new attack: Volt Tackle. To get this, you must breed either two Pikachu, with the female holding a Light Ball, or breed a Pikachu with a Ditto, having the Pikachu hold the Light Ball.
