Emerald shares the same 386 roster as Ruby and Sapphire but changes availability. Some Pokemon show up earlier, others appear in new locations, and move tutors hand out coverage moves that aren't available in RS. Rayquaza is catchable at Sky Pillar before the Elite Four. Wallace is the Champion instead of Steven. Filter the Hoenn dex by type or stats to plan your team.

How to access additional Pokemon in Emerald

Emerald runs the same 202-entry Hoenn dex as Ruby and Sapphire, but the postgame goes further. The Battle Frontier opens after beating Champion Wallace, and both Groudon and Kyogre become catchable in new caves. The Safari Zone picks up extra areas with wild encounters that RS doesn't have.

Move tutors hand out coverage moves like Thunderpunch and Ice Punch that you can't get in Ruby or Sapphire. For the full 386, you'll still need FireRed, LeafGreen, or the GameCube titles to cover species outside Hoenn.

  • 386 across Gens 1 through 3. No new Pokemon over Ruby and Sapphire. Emerald's additions are about where things appear, not what exists. More wild encounters earlier, move tutors for coverage, and a few Pokemon in new locations. You still need to trade for version exclusives.

  • Both Team Aqua and Team Magma are antagonists (instead of one per version). Rayquaza is catchable at Sky Pillar before the Elite Four. Wallace is Champion instead of Steven. The Battle Frontier replaces the Battle Tower with 7 facilities. Move tutors teach coverage moves RS didn't have. And some wild Pokemon show up in new locations.

  • Yes. After the Groudon vs Kyogre showdown at Sootopolis, you go to Sky Pillar to summon Rayquaza. It flies off to stop the fight. Later, after getting the eighth badge, you can return to Sky Pillar and catch it. Level 70, 680 BST. It's one of the strongest Pokemon you can get before the credits.

  • Mudkip is still the best. Swampert's Water/Ground typing with one weakness carries through the whole game. The Champion is Wallace (Water specialist) in Emerald instead of Steven (Steel), so you need to adjust your endgame team. Sceptile does well against Wallace though.

  • Gen 3, GBA, 2004. Emerald is Hoenn's third version. The roster and ability system are the same as Ruby and Sapphire, but the story plays out differently (both villains active, Rayquaza resolves the conflict). The Battle Frontier postgame is the main draw for experienced players.

  • The Battle Frontier is Emerald's postgame challenge facility with 7 different battle formats: Battle Tower, Battle Factory, Battle Pike, Battle Dome, Battle Palace, Battle Arena, and Battle Pyramid. Each has a Frontier Brain boss. It's considered one of the hardest postgame challenges in any Pokemon game.
