The Hoenn Pokedex from Ruby and Sapphire covers 386 Pokemon across three generations. Gen 3 added abilities, natures, and EVs, which means every Pokemon has more going on under the hood than just stats and typing. Double battles are new too. Use the type filter to narrow down the Hoenn roster, or sort by BST to find the stat leaders. Click any card for the full details.

Showing 219 Pokemon: the regional Pokedex plus transfer-only species.

How to access additional Pokemon in Ruby & Sapphire

Gen 3's jump to the GBA broke backwards compatibility with every older game. Nothing from Gold, Silver, or Crystal can transfer into Ruby and Sapphire. That means filling the full 386 requires owning multiple GBA carts: FireRed or LeafGreen for Kanto species, plus the GameCube titles Colosseum and XD for a handful of exclusives.

The Hoenn regional dex lists 202 species. After the Champion battle, new areas open with legendary encounters, but most pre-Gen 3 Pokemon are locked behind inter-cart trading.

  • 386 total across Generations 1 through 3. The Hoenn regional dex has 202 Pokemon available during the main story. The rest require trading with FireRed, LeafGreen, Emerald, or Colosseum/XD. Gen 3 can't trade with Gen 1 or Gen 2 games.

  • Ruby gets Groudon, Mawile, Zangoose, Solrock, and Seedot line. Sapphire gets Kyogre, Sableye, Seviper, Lunatone, and Lotad line. Plus about a dozen other minor differences.

  • Mudkip and it isn't close. Swampert is Water/Ground with only one weakness (Grass, 4x). It gets Earthquake and Surf for dual STAB and tanks most things. Torchic evolves into the solid Blaziken, and Treecko's Sceptile is fast but frail.

  • Abilities are passive traits introduced in Gen 3. Every Pokemon species has one or two possible abilities that provide an automatic effect in battle. Examples: Slaking's Truant forces it to skip every other turn despite 670 BST. Swampert's Torrent boosts Water moves when HP is low. Abilities can make or break a Pokemon.

  • Generation 3, released in 2002 in Japan and 2003 in North America for the Game Boy Advance. Introduced abilities, natures, double battles, and the EV/IV system that still exists today. Set in the Hoenn region.

  • Groudon (Ruby) vs Kyogre (Sapphire) is the main decision. Kyogre is generally considered stronger for in-game use since Water STAB with Drizzle covers more matchups. But the non-legendary exclusives matter too. Ruby's Zangoose and Sapphire's Seviper are thematic rivals.
