Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

|---------------|
|Littleroot Town|
|---------------|

Upon arriving in Littleroot Town, enter the Professor's lab (southeast house) 
where you 
will receive Running Shoes (you can run by holding B, but only outside) from 
your mom, and 
5 pokeballs from your rival, as well as a Pokedex from the Professor. Once 
again, head 
back north, the only direction you can go.

|---------|
|Route 101|
|---------|

Level Range of Pokemon here: 2-3
Pokemon on Route 101: Poochyena, Zigzagoon, Wingull, Wurmple

Head north from Route 101 back to Oldale City.

|-----------|
|Oldale City|
|-----------|

Instead of going north, this time go west to fight a few trainers onto Route 
102.

|---------|
|Route 102|
|---------|

Pokemon on Route 102: Poochyena, Zigzagoon, Wingull, Wurmple, Lotad, Hassboh, 
Surskit, Ralis

Again, wild Pokemon are no match here, but you may get to Level 11 here. 
However, you will fight your first trainer battles here. Here's all the info 
you'll need:

Trainer 1: Youngster Calvin
Level 5 Zigzagoon (63 EXP)
You gain: 63G

Trainer 2: Bug Catcher Rick
Level 4 Wurmple (45 EXP)
Level 4 Wurmple (45 EXP)
You gain: 64G

Trainer 3: Youngster Allen
Level 5 Poochyena (58 EXP)
You gain: 48G

Trainer 4: Lass Tiana
Level 4 Zigzagoon (51 EXP)
Level 4 Zigzagoon (51 EXP)
You gain: 64G

You can also get 4 nuts and one item south of Trainer 4. Since you get more 
EXP, take this as your chance to win big. You should arrive at Petalburg City 
eventually.

|--------------|
|Petalburg City|
|--------------|

You will arrive at another city sooner or later, and it is Petalburg City, 
where you will find a gym! The Hoenn League requires you to get 8 badges. Go 
in the GYM and talk to the person inside. Your father (5th gym leader) will 
talk to you and say that you must need 4 badges to enter this gym. Wally, one 
of your lesser rivals, will also show you how to catch a Pokemon, which you 
should already know. He has a Level 7 Zigzagoon, and catches a Level 5 Seedot 
with a Pokeball. Now move west onto Route 104.

|---------|
|Route 104|
|---------|

Pokemon on Route 104: Namakoro, Zigzagoon, Wurmple, Silcoon, Taillow, 
Nincada, Lalutos

Items on Route 104: Chesto Berry, Cheri Berries, Leppa Berries, X Accuracy, 
TM09, Potion

You are now on Route 104. Move west to fight the boy with the blue cap on the 
beach. According to Wildeboer (wilmar@kabelfoon.nl) he walks around like a 
stupid idiot :)

Trainer 1: Youngster Billy
Level 6 Tanebo (94 EXP)
Level 8 Lotad (100 EXP)
You get: 128G

Trainer: Rich Boy Winston
Level 7 Zigzagoon (90 EXP)
You get: 140G

Move north into Petalburg Woods. 

|---------------|
|Petalburg Woods|
|---------------|

Pokemon on Route 102: Poochyena, Zigzagoon, Wingull, Wurmple, Silcoon, Lotad

Items on Route 102: Pokeball, Paralyze Heal, Great Ball, PP Recover (Thanks, 
Wildeboer!)

You can get four items here (not one, as I thought earlier). Wildeboer says 
that if you go west from the entrance, and then go south, you will find a 
Pokeball. Now head along the route up to Trainer 1, the Bug Catcher.

Trainer 1: Bug Catcher Lyle
Level 3 Wurmple (34 EXP)
Level 3 Wurmple (34 EXP)
Level 3 Wurmple (34 EXP)
Level 3 Wurmple (34 EXP)
Level 3 Wurmple (34 EXP)
Level 3 Wurmple (34 EXP)
You get: 48G

Your lineup should now be:

Level 12 Starter

Your starting type should now be Level 12 after this battle, and have 4 
moves. The first and last should be your starting normal move and your first 
elemental move. Go north and take the item (Pokeball), then east and north to 
see a guy spinning around. Depending on your game, a Team Magma (Ruby) or 
Aqua (Sapphire) member will run towards you and battle you with a Level 9 
Poochyena. 

Trainer 2: Team Magma/Aqua Grunt
Level 9 Poochyena (105 EXP)
You get: 180G

Your Level 12 starter should make mince-meat out of the Poochyena. After you 
win, the Team Magma/Aqua member will leave. The first man will give you an 
item (a great ball) for your efforts, and then run north. Continue your way 
on the path north, then west. Once you reach your way west, you will see your 
next trainer battle, a Bug Catcher battle. Torchic is highly effective in 
this forest, but you can still win with Mudkip or Treecko. I suggest you 
catch a second Pokemon (any) at this point. Maybe a Zigzagoon (if you don't 
have Mudkip, for future reasons of having a surfing type). If not, choose 
something else for Cut 
in the future (in the case of Mudkip). You will want 2 Pokemon by the end of 
this forest. In the items list, Pokeballs should be at X5. You should now be 
at the Bug Catcher (Trainer 3). 

Trainer 3: Bug Catcher James
Level 8 Silcoon (111 EXP)
You get: 128G

Torchic is highly effective against these bugs. Treecko and Mudkip should 
just use normal elemental attacks. Anyway, your starter should now be at 
Level 13, and you should have now have a backup Pokemon. Continue your way 
north. Take the item (a PP recover) north of Bug Catcher 3, and exit 
Petalburg Woods to the north to Route 104.

|---------|
|Route 104|
|---------|

Pokemon on Route 104: Namakoro, Zigzagoon, Wurmple, Silcoon, Taillow, 
Nincada, Lalutos

Items on Route 104: Chesto Berry, Cheri Berries, Leppa Berries, X Accuracy, 
TM09, Potion

Welcome back to the fourth route you've ever been on! This second of Route 
104 will feature your first ever 2v2 battle, so you will want your second one 
now, right? :) It is optional but you can get some extra EXP. Take the 4 nuts 
from the trees west of the entrance to Route 104 and talk to the lady east of 
the trees for TM09 (Seed Machine Gun). You can also talk to the woman nearby 
to get another nut. Go north around the house for a free item (a potion), 
then go back to the front of the entrance, and then go east from there where 
you will fight more trainers.

Trainer 1: Lady Cindy
Level 7 Zigzagoon (90 EXP)
You get: 1400G

Trainer 2: Lass Haley
Level 7 Lotad (111 EXP)
Level 7 Shroomish (97 EXP)
You get: 112G

Your starting Pokemon should now be at Level 14 unless you've been training 
your second Pokemon. Continue your way onto the river bridge and you will 
spot two twins. Will you challenge them to a duel (2v2) battle? It's your 
choice!

Trainers 3-4: Twins Gia & Mia
Level 8 Massboh (63+63=126 EXP) <= 63 for one Pokemon, 63 for the other, or 
126 for one
Level 8 Tanebo (63+63=126 EXP) <= 63 for one Pokemon, 63 for the other, or 
126 for one
You get: 192G

Trainer 5 is a fisherman that you can just talk to for a battle.

Trainer 5: Fisherman Ivan
Level 6 Magikarp (25 EXP)
Level 6 Magikarp (25 EXP)
Level 6 Magikarp (25 EXP)
You get: 240G

Grab the 4 nuts on the trees east of the fisherman, get the item from the 
lady next to the trees, and then head back north on the path to Rustboro 
City, home of the 1st gym!

|-------------|
|Rustboro City|
|-------------|

Continue your way north to Rustboro City. Be prepared, as this rock gym is 
one you will want to fight in. Have an average of at least level 12 Pokemon 
(or just one strong one). Treecko and Mudkip can just use their elementals, 
but Torchic must be either very strong or have an alternate grass type to aid 
the attack. The gym is in the northeast corner of Rustboro City. If you use 
fire attacks (ember) from Torchic for this gym, however, and it's either 
evolved or just high level (14+), you can still take on the rock types in 
this gym. 

Youngster Josh
Level 10 Geodude (183 EXP)
Level 8 Geodude (147 EXP)
Level 6 Geodude (109 EXP)
You get: 96G

Treecko was about Level 13 at this point in Ruby due to training two other 
Pokemon Shroomish and Dekukieru, but in my Sapphire game after my Torchic 
victory (with half HP left), he was Level 15. 

Youngster Tommy
Level 11 Geodude (202 EXP)
You get: 176G

At this point, if you have a Torchic and will just use him, you must evolve 
him by now (Level 16). If not, level him up to Level 16 before facing the gym 
leader. If you have Treecko or Mudkip, just beat him!

Your lineup should now be:

Level 16 Starter Evolution

---
GYM LEADER ROXEANNE
Gym Leader Type: Rock
Level 14 Geodude (258 EXP)
Level 15 Nosepass (346 EXP)
You get: Stone Badge, $1,500G, & TM39
---

Strategy VERSUS Geodude: Use elemental/special moves. Don't use any normal 
moves.

Strategy VERSUS Nosepass: Do the same with Nosepass.

If you have Torchic at this point, he MUST BE Level 16 and evolved to 
Combusken, or you will basically die in this battle. You may get lucky as the 
rock types 2/3 of the time will use harden, so you CAN win. Use Ember on 
Geodude and Double Kick on Nosepass. You can win easily! If you chose Treecko 
or Mudkip, just beat the rock types as they are easy. Also, talk to the red 
man in the house left of the Pokemon Center in the city till you get HM01, 
Cut. It's not very useful but it can get you some extra items. Now make your 
way north on the route, grab the item near the sea, come back to the city, 
and go east. The green-suited man will ask you to watch out for Team 
Magma/Aqua. Now head east onto Route 116 towards a cave.

|---------|
|Route 116|
|---------|

Pokemon on Route 116: Skitty, Taillow, Go'nyo'nyo, Nincada, Zigzagoon, Silcoon

Items on Route 116: Item west of Trainer 2

Trainer 1: Youngster Joey
Level 8 Zigzagoon (? EXP)
Level 10 Machop (187 EXP)
You get: 160G

Trainer 2: Bug Catcher Jose
Level 8 Wurmple (91 EXP)
Level 8 Cascoon (121 EXP)
Level 8 Silcoon (111 EXP)
You get: 128G

Trainer 3: Lass Janice
Level 10 Marill (123 EXP)
You get: 160G

Trainer 4: Hiker Clark
Level 8 Geodude (147 EXP)
Level 8 Geodude (147 EXP)
Level 8 Geodude (147 EXP)
You get: 320G 

Your starter should now be Level 18, unless you train a balanced team of 
2 :P . Anyway, good luck and go on! (Grab the item west of the bug catcher as 
well) Now go east and enter the cave in the east. 

|--------------|
|Rusturf Tunnel|
|--------------|

Head north (grab the item) then east in the Rusturf Tunnel (to the Team 
Magma/Aqua guy with the bird). He will challenge you to a fight.

Team Magma/Aqua Grunt
Level 11 Poochyena (129 EXP)
You get: 220G, an item

If your starter IS Level 18, he should be no threat at all. One kill: 
Poochyena's dead! Defeat the Team Magma/Aqua member inside to rescue a man's 
Taillow. And old man will come for his Taillow and will give you the Pokemon 
Navigator after you win. 

|--------------------------|
|Pokemon Navigator Features|
|--------------------------|

1. Map - Choosing this option will display the map of Hoenn and your current 
location. 
2. Pokemon Info - This shows info about your Pokemon. 
3. Trainer-Dex - The Trainer-Dex shows you all trainers that you have fought.
4. Exit 
5. Hall of Fame - Shows all of the Hall of Famers in your Pokemon Team of 6, 
but only appears after you have defeated the Hoenn League members.)

Here, you will want to go back to Rustboro City. The green man at the 
entrance of Route 116 and give you another 2 items, then talk to you in the 
Tower of Rustboro City. The old man will also give you an item, probably also 
to compensate for your help. :) Go back out and now go back south through 
Route 104 and Petalburg Woods to the beach in the west. Go in the first house 
on the beach, and find the man that you met in the cave inside. If you talk 
to him, he will offer you a boat ride to the second gym city, Dewford Town. 
Accept it!

|------------------|
|Sea Routes 105-106|
|------------------|

Enjoy your speedboat ride to Dewford Town. You'd like one, wouldn't you?

|------------|
|Dewford Town|
|------------|

Once you arrive to Dewford Town, you can fight in the fighting gym. Although 
it is dark at first, there are only 3 trainers (1 optional) to fight before 
the gym leader. You will firstone to go north to the wall from the green-
suited man, then go east to the first Junior Trainer battle. 

Battle Girl Laura
Level 14Meditite (273 EXP)
You get: 336G

After this battle, Flash will automatically go on. You will now see more! Go 
north from the trainer and then west, and when there's the next split point, 
go a little northwest to fight Junior Trainer 2, a Karate Master.

Black Belt Hideki
Level 14 Machop (264 EXP)
You get: 448G

After you win, more Flash :). Now onward to the 3rd and last junior trainer. 
Go back out of the area east, then go north onto the bigger path. Go west at 
the split point to the 3rd junior trainer. 

Battle Girl Teresa
Level 12 Meditite (??? EXP)
Level 12 Meditite (??? EXP)
Level 12 Machop (??? EXP)
You get: 288G

At this point, you can either go back and heal, or just advance east and 
north to the gym leader. Healing is suggested, and the extra vision should 
really help you out as well.

|---------------------------------------|
|Gym Leader Name: Brawly                |
|Gym Leader Type: Fighting              |
|Level 17 Machop (319 EXP)              |

|---------------------------------------|

Next, go west onto Route 106.

|---------|
|Route 106|

Level 8 Tentacool (180 EXP)

Bonuses on check, eh? Easy EXP and easy battles! You get more money versus 
trainers now. :) Now continue your way west towards Dewford Cave and enter it!

|------------|
|Dewford Cave|
|------------|

Talk to the man just in the entrance of Dewford Town for HM05! You may want 
to use Flash (HM05) in this Dewford Cave as it is very dark...or just go 
through blindly, you will get some sort of required item at the end. Grab the 
item as you go west, and go down the ladder. Once the area becomes dark, head 
EAST, and EAST only unless you hit a wall, then go southeast to the ladder. 
Go down it, and now go WEST (a little to the southwest at times) until it 
seems like a wall to the left. Then go up the stairs (NORTH) instead of west, 
and then head EAST there. Then go to the ladder. Go west to the next ladder, 
and then you're out of dark again! Go west from there, then south, and 
through the door. Talk to Steven, the future Pokemon champ you will face 
later in the game. You will get your required item from him, as well as TM47! 
He will walk out,and now you will want to get back out of the cave and back 
to Dewford Town by going the exact opposite directions then you came in. This 
cave is still a good for training as well as the required item. Your starter 
should now be Level 23! Now the man who gave you the ride has an extra 
option: you can now go to another place, a 2nd option that gives you a chance 
to reach Slateport City. Accept it and go 
towards the 3rd gym!

Your lineup should now be:

Level 25 Starter Evolution

|------------------------|
|Sea Routes 107, 108, 109|
|------------------------|

Enjoy your ride! Only 2nd to Fly, which is even faster, of course. :P

|---------|
|Route 109|
|---------|

You should now be on a beach (Route 109). Fight your way up, and you should 
arrive at a city called Slateport City. Your first trainer battle is just 
north of landing.

Sailor Huey
Level 14 Machop (264 EXP)
You get: 448G

Head directly north for your 2nd battle.

Tuber Ricky
Level 14 Zigzagoon (180 EXP)
You get: 56G

Your starter should now be at least Level 23, unless you use more than one 
Pokemon. :)

Head northwest to Trainer 3.

Sailor Edmond
Level 12 Wingull (163 EXP)
Level 12 Wingull (163 EXP)
Level 12 Machop (225 EXP)
You get: 384G

Level 24 starter now? Go north into the house for even more EXP. You'll want 
it. After you go in, go right to the Beach Boy.

Tuber Simon
Level 12 Azurill (84 EXP)
Level 12 Marill (148 EXP)
You get: 48G

Now talk to the green-haired girl for Trainer 5 battle.

Beauty Johanna
Level 13 Goldeen (309 EXP)
You get: 1040G

Now go to the left of the house and talk to the blue-haired man. 

Sailor Dwayne
Level 11 Wingull (150 EXP)
Level 11 Machop (207 EXP)
Level 11 Tentacool (247 EXP)
You get: 352G

Your starter should now be at Level 25 unless you like balanced teams. Now 
head back out
of the house and go east. Talk to the pink Beach Girl for battle 7.

Trainer 7 - Beach Girl
Level 13 Marill (91 EXP)
Level 13 Marill (91 EXP)
You get: 52G

Now go north into Slateport City (heal if you need to).

|--------------|
|Slateport City|
|--------------|

Explore the city. You will notice Team Magma/Aqua members blocking a 
building, the Slateport
City Ocean Museum. You will now have to look for a building that resembles a 
warehouse and
talk to the man with the brown head there to deliver the letter you were 
asked to deliver
earlier. (southeast [more south than east] from Pokemon Center). Once you do 
this, you will 
be able to enter the Ocean Museum after the Team Magma/Aqua members will run 
inside and 
attack, but the people inside will force you to give up 100G. Go up the 
museum and fight 
two of their members upstairs by talking to the scientist upstairs. This is 
your third ever
meeting with Magma/Aqua. 

Team Member #1
Level 15 Numel (??? EXP) <= Ruby
Level 15 Carvanha (282 EXP) <= Sapphire
You get: 300G

This battle would be a fire battle (#1) for Ruby instead of a water one. 
Immediately after 
the second Team Magma/Aqua Member fights you.

Team Aqua Member #2 
Level 14 Zubat (162 EXP)

Level 14 Numel (??? EXP) <= Ruby
Level 14 Carvanha (264 EXP) <= Sapphire
You get: 280G

They will leave after you win, of course. This water battle vs. Carvanha 
would be different 
for Ruby's #2. The leader of Team Magma/Aqua will now walk in and basically 
warn you to go
away from their conflict against the other Team. You get an item for saving 
the scientist.

|---------|
|Route 110|
|---------|

Pokemon on Route 110: Zigzagoon, Electrike, Wingull, Purasuru, Minun

Items on Route 110: One in the middle of the sea, one in forest, 4 nuts in 
forest

Continue to fight your way north (at the intersection, go west instead of 
through the 
underpass east as you can't go that way yet, after the Woman battle). You 
will face a 
few opponents.

Trainer 1: Woman
Level 15 Plusle (Positive, 385 EXP)
Level 15 Minun (Negative, 385 EXP)
You get: 1200G 

Here you will find the positive and negative rabbits for the first time. 
Positive is 
+50% more offensive, but negative is +50% more defensive. So watch out! Your 
starter is
now probably Level 26. Anyway, you will want to heal paralysis if paralyzed, 
but if not, 
continue west either way from there. You can go east too, but you want EXP 
first, right?

Trainer 2: Lady
Level 16 Roselia (520 EXP)
You get: 640G

Now, you can fight in your 2nd twin battle! (If you have 2 Pokemon, you can 
freely choose).

Trainers 3-4: Twins
Level 16 Plusle (205+205=410 EXP)
Level 16 Minun (205+205=410 EXP)
You get: 384G

At this point you can use Cut to get the item north, but to the west you can 
fight 
Trainer 5.

Trainer 5: Man
Level 16 Skitty (222 EXP)
You get: 1280G

The moving fisherman west of the man will challenge you to a battle once you 
are in sight.

Trainer 6: Fisherman
Level 5 Magikarp (21 EXP)
Level 10 Tentacool (225 EXP)
Level 15 Magikarp (63 EXP)
You get: 600G

Remember, if you really do have Cut you can grab the item and the 4 nuts 
before heading 
back east. Here, you will want to head east back to the intersection, and go 
under the 
Cycling Road eastward. Grab the item in front of the boy, then challenge him.

Trainer 1: Kid
Level 12 Poochyena (141 EXP)
Level 16 Aron (328 EXP)
Level 14 Electrike (312 EXP)
You get: 224G

Your starter should now be at Level 27, a great level at this point. If you 
have a more 
balanced team (like I had for Ruby), they should be at an average of Level 18 
now. You will
now want to either heal at the City again, as you may need it, or go east if 
you're barely
damaged. Head east then north on Route 110, and you will meet someone again...

|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Rival (Brendan or May) Battle (Your Starter)                                |
|-------------------------|------------------------|-------------------------|
|Level 5 Treecko          |Level 5 Torchic         |Level 5 Mudkip           |
|-------------------------|------------------------|-------------------------|
|L18 Shroomish (403 EXP)  |L18 Shroomish (403 EXP) |L20 Grovyle  (??? EXP)   |

|L18 Carvanha  (??? EXP)  |L20 Marshtomp (949 EXP) |L18 Carvanha (??? EXP)   |
|-------------------------|------------------------|-------------------------|
|You get: 1200G                                                              |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Can you say weirder? The starter evolutions look even weirder than they 
already were. And I 
beat Mudkip's evolution with Torchic's evolution in Sapphire, Torchic's 
evolution with
Treecko's evolution in Ruby. I like that. Anyway, continue your way 
northwest. You can't 
grab the item in the middle until you get surf. Your rival will now ride off 
on his/her 
bike. Continue on your way to Trainer 2.

Trainer 2: Man
Level 14 Lombre (423 EXP)
Level 14 Nuzleaf (423 EXP)
You get: 840G

Continue west to Trainer 3, the purple-haired boy. 

Trainer 3: Boy
Level 16 Abra (249 EXP)
You get: 384G

You can get a TM, TM 46 here as well. Anyway, head to Trainer 4, the 
fisherman next to the
water for a water battle.

Trainer 4: Fisherman
Level 12 Tentacool (270 EXP)
Level 14? Wailmer (439 EXP)
Level 9 Tentacool (202 EXP) 
Level 12 Tentacool (270 EXP)
You get: 480G

Your starter should be Level 29, or average team at Level 20. Grab the 3x3=9 
nuts in the 
trees to your northwest, and head north into Mauville City! Remember to grab 
HM06 Rock 
Smash in the southeast house in the city by talking to the person there, and 
go to the 
northeast corner to get a free bike at the bike shop! 

|-------------|
|Mauville City|
|-------------|

After you continue your zig-zag way north, you should enter Mauville City. 
This is the 3rd 
gym city! Remember to grab HM06 Rock Smash in the southeast house in the city 
by talking to 
the scientist there, and go to the northeast corner of the city  to get a 
free bike at the 
bike shop by talking to the brown-haired manager, and answering Yes to his 
question (the 1st
answer). Remember to also grab the item south of the southeast house. Heal, 
then go and talk 
Wally in front of the gym, and defeat him in a battle (your second rival, 
remember?). He 
will have a Level 16 Ralis. He will let you through after you defeat him. 

Wally
Level 16 Ralis (240 EXP)
You get: 960G

You are in luck if you have Torchic's evolution, but even if you have the 
other two types
he should pose no threat. Beat him and enter the gym, since he will let you 
through. 

The gym is electric-steel based, so a rock type can serve useful. Trainer 1 
is nearly right
in front of you.

Junior Trainer 1
Level 18 Electrike (400 EXP)
Level 18 Magnemite (342 EXP)
You get: 576G

Junior Trainer 2
Level 19 Zigzagoon (243 EXP)
You get: 304G

Junior Trainer 3 
Level 17 Voltorb (375 EXP)
Level 17 Voltorb (375 EXP)
Level 17 Voltorb (375 EXP)
You get: 544G

Now talk to the trainer southeast of Trainer 3 for Battle #4.

Junior Trainer 4
Level 19 Asanan (370 EXP)
You get: 456G

At this point, you may want to heal first, so go back out, then flip the 
northwest yellow
switch to reach the gym leader. You will need to have at least a 
fighting/ground/fire type.
If you have Treecko, you do have Geodude, right? Geodude owns this gym. If 
you chose Mudkip
or Torchic, their evolutions with ground and fire/fighting attacks will 
easily win against
the steel half of Magnemite/Magneton.

|----------------------------------|
|Gym Leader Name: Wattson          |
|Gym Leader Type: Electric         |
|Level 22 Magenemite (418 EXP)     |
|Level 20 Voltorb (441 EXP)        |
|Level 23 Mageneton (? EXP)        |
|You get: 2300G, Dynamo Badge, TM34|
|----------------------------------|

The Level 23 Magneton will be your biggest threat. I used a high-level 
(Lv.26) Geodude to 
take them out in Ruby when I had Treecko, but Torchic's evolution (Lv.30) for 
Sapphire. 
Sonicboom can be quite annoying, however. Even so, Torchic and Mudkip's 
evolutions should 
easily beat even Magneton.
