10 legendariesGen 3 · HoennUpdated NOV 12, 2026

Legendary Pokémon in Emerald

The event-only Mystic Ticket is the key to Emerald’s Johto pair, Lugia and Ho-Oh on Navel Rock, and they push the total to 10 legendaries. Rayquaza can be caught at Sky Pillar before the Elite Four. Kyogre waits in Marine Cave after the story, a Dive spot on Route 105, 125, 127 or 129.

The list

Emerald legendary list: all 10 legendaries

Emerald puts Kyogre and Groudon on one cartridge, where Ruby & Sapphire split them, so neither weather legend needs a trade. Both wait for the post-game, while Rayquaza is a story catch.

Where to catch them

How to get every legendary in Emerald

The Regis and Rayquaza are story catches. Once the Elite Four falls, your answer on the TV picks which Eon Pokémon roams, and Groudon and Kyogre hide in Terra Cave and Marine Cave.

Where to find

Every Emerald catch, with the steps to reach it

Emerald changes the Regi puzzles: Rock Smash opens Regirock’s door, Flash opens Registeel’s, and Regice wants a full lap of its room along the wall.

Before you battle

Each event ticket works the same way: show it at the Lilycove City harbor and sail to its island
