How to Get Solrock in FireRed & LeafGreen
Ruby and Emerald host Solrock in Meteor Falls, the sun rock counterpart to Sapphire's Lunatone. FRLG needs a trade from Ruby or Emerald to add it, since version split is strict in Gen 3.
Solrock cannot be caught in the wild in FireRed & LeafGreen, but you can still get it via these paths:
Pokemon HOME · Switch Rerelease
Playing the Switch version of FireRed & LeafGreen? Pokemon HOME compatibility is post-launch but deposit-only by design (FRLG → HOME). Inbound HOME transfer of Solrock into FRLG is not possible — an original GBA cartridge with a Link Cable is the only inbound route.
Catch in the wild and trade from these games:
Then trade to FireRed & LeafGreen.
Also Obtainable In:
Direct cartridge trade across generations isn't possible — but the Pokemon HOME path above bridges this gap once Switch support launches.
