Poke-Navi
This is a useful item with multiple functions.
Map: This will display a map of Houen. You can move the pointer with the D-pad and can also press A to zoom in.
Poke-Info: This will display information about your Pokemon stats. These may show how much of a chance your Pokemon has of winning a Pokemon Contest. These can be raised with Poroks (the berries).
Trainer-Dex: This will show information on all of the trainers you have fought.
Hall Of Fame: After defeating the Elite 4, you can see your Pokemon that defeated them in the Hall of Fame.
Gym tactics
First, try using Kyamome or a Water/Grass starter. Then, try Water/Fire starter Grass at level 20 to 25. Finally, try Sandshrew with lots of Ground attack.
Recommended starting Pokemon
The best type of starting Pokemon (in order) are: Water, Grass, and Fire.
Pokemon Contest
In Pokemon Contest houses, you may enter your Pokemon into a contest for a chance to win a medal. However if you enter without any Porok level ups, you will have a very low chance of winning. The way to raise this is to go out and find the trees with berries on them, then press A. You will then receive 1 to 4 berries. If you now go to a Pokemon House, you will see small gray machines on the right. The empty one on the top is for multi-player. For now, find a house in a city that only has a man at the bottom. Go to the other side of the machine and press A. You will then be asked to pick a Porok (berry) and throw it in. The spinner will come down and start moving. The objective is to press A just when the spinner hits your arrow:
Circle Within A Circle: Direct hit (much faster)
Circle: Near hit (slightly faster)
X: Miss (slower )
The faster you (and your opponent) get the spinner moving, the better. Once the meter at the top hits the end, it is over and the results and the fastest RPM the spinner was moving will appear. You will then receive a Blended Porok. The level of it depends on how fast you got the machine going. The average appears to be 11. Next, open your Special Items Pocket and go to your "Pez dispenser" type item (which you must have to play the game -- it is obtained from the girl in the first contest house). You will then pick a Blended Porok and feed it to a pet, making one of his Pokemon Contest stats (viewable in the Poke-Navi) go up. Some can even raise multiple stats. The more you do this, the better chance you have of winning.
Watch TV For Hints
Watch television to see commercials advertising bargains and the like. Here are some occurences to keep your eyes peeled for:
A commercial for the Mauville Game Corner. When it plays, head over there for increased prizes.

A commercial for the Slateport City energy guy. Go to him to get energy items at a reduced price.
Find Latias
Once you become the Pokemon League Champion, pay extra attention to the TV. It will broadcast information about a super-rare Pokemon. After that, be on the lookout for the Latias, which is exclusive to the Sapphire version of the game.

Shedinja
This Pokemon is very easy to obtain, but is quite good. It is the only Bug and Ghost type Pokemon. It has 1 HP no matter how high its level, but its special power Wonder Guard makes it almost invincible. Wonder Guard protects against all attacks except for those that are super effective. For example, Bug is weak against Flying types; if someone uses a Flying type move on Shedinja, it is going to get hit. To get Shedinja, you will need a Nincada. You can catch one on Route 116. Make sure you have a free slot for a new Pokemon (Shedinja). That means you can have only five Pokemon, including Nincada. Make sure you have at least one of the type of Pokeball you used to catch Nincada with. For example, if you caught Nincada with a Great Ball, make sure you have at least one Great Ball. Get it to evolve at level 20 into a Ninjask and learns three new moves. Once you are back out to the normal screen, go to your Pokemon. You will see that you just got another Pokemon, Shedinja.
Sharpedo
Once you are able to track down Sharpedo in your Pokedex, do whatever is necessary to capture it. It is an excellent Water/Dark Pokemon that already knows Crunch, Dark's most powerful attack. His speed is incredible and will be of great use later in the game.
Regis
Use the following steps to capture the three mysterious Pokemon called the Regis. Go to the southeast part of Route 134 and dive into the water. It is difficult to get to due to the currents, and it is the only deep part of that route. You will find a cave. At a part of the cave, there are some Braille writing on the wall. At that point, float to the top of the water, where you will end up in a cavern. Go into the last room by going forward, use Dig, and in the next room you must do something strange. Put a Relicanth in the front of your party, and a Wailord at the last place. Walk to the top of the room and read the Brail . You will trigger an earthquake, which will unlock the Regis. You can fish up a Wailmer to evolve at level 40 at Route 122, and find a Relicanth outside Sootopolis in the underwater grass (rarely, but it is there).
Registeel
To find Registeel, you can access a volcano in the southwest region of Route 120. Enter it, then move towards the center of the room. Use Fly to find Registeel.
Note: The Braille writing for catching Registeel is: "With new time, hope and love, aim to the sky in the middle".
Regirock
To find Regirock, fly to lavaridge, bop down the mountain, and enter the desert. In the southern part of the desert, you will find a cavern. Enter it, then walk up to the center tile at the top of the room. Go two steps down and two steps right. Use strength to open the passage to Regirock.
Note: The Braille writing for catching Regirock is: "Right, right, down, down. Then, use strength".
Regice
To find Regice, in Route 105, there is an island on the west side that has a mountain on it. Go there, enter, and stand in front of the tile. Press A, read it, press A again, and do not do anything else. The door will open after 2 or so minutes, and the last Regi is yours.
Note: The Braille writing for catching Regice is : "Stop and wait. Wait for time to pass twice".
Rayquaza
Go to Pacifldog Town. Then, surf to the east to Route 131 until you pass the boy and girl facing each other, that are separate. You will see an opening between some rocks. Go there and surf west. Keep going and you will see a cave opening. Go through it and enter the building. Go to the top of the building to find Rayquaza. Note: On the second and fourth floors, to pass the cracks you will need get the Mach bike to go at full speed.
Note: You need to beat the champion for Sky Pillar to be reachable.
Ralts
To catch Ralts, a Psychic type Pokemon, early in the game, go into the grass directly outside of Petelsburg. You must have a positive disposition to encounter this Pokemon, which means your Pokemon must be attracted to you. This early in the game, it is almost impossible for them to really like you. It is weak at first, but a powerful Psychic type Pokemon can be very useful later in the game. Found in Route 102.

To get Huntail. give Clamperl the Deepseatooth and do the same thing.

Feebas
Feebas can only be found on Route 119, and is very hard to find. Feebas only appears in six tiles on the route. The tiles are random, depending on the popular phrase you used in Dewford. Catching this Pokemon requires a lot of time and patience. However, when evolved into Milotic this Pokemon is very useful. To capture Feebas try using "Mudkip Ball" as your popular phrase in Dewford. Later it turns to "Natural Flowers". Wait until "Natural Flowers" is the popular phrase or attempt to change it yourself. To find Feebas, get to Route 119. Start at the bottom and move north. Stop at the first little lake, immediately after the large patch of tall grass, and go as far left on the lake shore as you can. Surf, move one tile north, and fish with a Super Rod.

The Two Pokemon Of The Elements
When going after the legendary representing the team of your game (Team Aqua or Team Magma), bring about 30 Ultra Balls, quite a few Revives, and at least a level 50 Pokemon. The Pokemon will be at level 45, and will be extremely difficult to catch. The only sure way to catch it is if you bring a Pokemon with a move that will freeze or paralyze it. Try as hard as you can not to kill it, but get it down to a red zone so far down that you can barely see it. Then, go mad throwing Ultra Balls at it. Do not use other Pokeballs. The will help greatly against the Elite Four and the final Gym leader.
Latios & Latias
When you get the Master Ball in Team Aqua's/Magma's lair, do not use it on Kyogre/Groudon. Latios and Latias will eventually appear in your game, and they are extremely difficult to catch. They will run from route to route.

Beginning Pokémon
When you start the game, you can choose 3 types:
Mudkip, type: WATER, evolves on Lv. 16 into Marshtomp, type: WATER,GROUND, evolves on Lv. 36 into Swampert, type:WATER,GROUND. It will be useful against Leader Wattson in Mauville, Leader Roxanne in Rustboro, Leader Flannery in Lavaridge, and against Leader Tate & Liza in Mossdeep.

Torchic, type: FIRE, evolves on Lv. 16 into Combusken, type: FIRE,FIGHT, evolves on Lv. 36 into Blaziken, Type:FIRE,FIGHT. It will be useful against Roxanne (when evolved).
Recommended: Mudkip, because it's useful against much leaders, Torchic, because it's a fire type, and those are very hard to find in the beginning.
Poochyena
In the beginning of the game, catch a Poochyena. It will be weak first, but if you train it enough it will become very useful against Leader Tate & Liza in Mossdeep City who uses PSICHIC moves that don't affect DARK types, and also against the 2nd elite 4 who uses GHOST moves that are not effective against DARK types.
Special Secret Base Items
There is sometimes something on the TV that says that lilicove department store has a clear-out sale in sertain days when you go there on the clear-out sale go to the upper roof (where you can buy soda pop lemonade and fresh water.) talk to a man in a white shirt and he want to sell you special SECRET BASE ITEMS like tire, stand, slide, sand ornament, some fences, mudd ball, rhydon/wailmer doll, Tv's and for some more you have to look for yourself.

Shiny/weird colord pokémon

The way I found Shiny Volbeat is on Route 117 which is on the south side of the route closest to SR. and JR. Anna and Meg and closest to the water.
Mystery Events Club
After defeating the fifth gym leader,go to the Pokemon Center in Petalburg city. Then go inside the Pokemon Center. Talk to the man standing beside the PC. He will ask you for your new profile. Type in MYSTERY EVENT IS EXITING. The man will say,"You know the secret saying! So that means you are a member of the MYSTERY EVENTS CLUB. You will then be able to access the MYSTERY EVENTS icon in your main menu.
The reason that this is such a good team is because you have an electric, water, fighting, fire, and two grass (grass pokemon are the overall best type because they have the least amount of weekness's and alot more pokemon are weaker to grass pokemon than any other pokemon)Trust me if you get all of these pokemon to at least 65 you are garunteed to win against the elite four and any other hard challenges.
Rayquazza- seemingly impossibe, or is it?
Rayquazza is a large, green dragon/flying pokemon, is one of a kind and very difficult to catch. To get to Rayquazza you need to have won against the champion Steven, then go to Pacifilidog town and surf east. There will be a seemingly endless barrier of rocks, you want to be at the top barrier, follow it along and you will come to a gap (finallly) it is above the female swimmer who seems to be patrolling up and down. Follow the rocks around to the left then go up and BEHOLD the sky pillar! Make sure you have the MACH BIKE as you will need to cycle at top speed over bits of cracked floor. After all that stress you will be out in the sunlight and will be stood before Rayquazza it is very strong and is extreeeeemly hard to catch, I recommend you save your MASTER BALL for this mighty beast and treat it well, thats all I got for now, hope I helped and keep gaming!!!
Legendary Pokemon
These are ALL the legendary pokmon available in Pokemon sapphire and how to get them.
1.Kyogre-you need to go to mt. pyre and get the blue orb. then when you get to sootopolis and it won't stop raining, go into the cave of origin and catch Kyogre
2.Rayquazza-After you beat the elite four, go to pacifidlog and surf east. go around the rocks and find the sky pillar and use the mach bike to get to the top. "BEWARE!" Rayquazza is at level 70!
3.Latias- after you beat the elite four, just walk around. she'll show up. then it is easy. she will run away each time you meet her, so use sleep. then whittle down her health and use a ultra ball(or a master)WARNING each time you change a route, so does she. But her health doesn't recover, so it takes time. Watch the pokedex and be patient.
4.Latios-trade from ruby (Latias' brother)
5.Groudon-trade from ruby
****JIRACHI***** The rarest pokemon of all! the only way to get it is to reserve pokemon collesseum then transfer it to your gameboy with the link cable. JIRACHI is like the mew of ruby & sapphire. The best move, DOOM DESIRE is its' alone! It is like future sight but is steel type and twice as strong!
Orange Altaria
Go to the fifth floor of the Sky Pillar and save the game. Go to the ione rock and circle around it until you find an orange Altaria.
Catching Rayquaza
I caught Rayquaza with an Ultra ball on level 70 in the Sky Pillar. It is very hard to catch. I reccomend that you save the game before battleing Rayquaza so if you accidently kill it or if it kills you you can shut the game off and turn it back on so you can try to catch it again. Same thing for Kyogre who is in Cave of Origin. So you never run out of tries.
Note:You need to beat the champion before catching Rayquaza.
Dragon Moves Effects
Some dragon moves have effects witch are not described:
Twister: may cause flinching.

Move Combos
Here are some move combos for your pokemon.
(Encore+Mirror coat/counter)
Use encore to make your opponent repeat its last move for 3-6 turns.Then use mirror coat if it used a special attack,or counter if it used a phyical attack.
(perish song+a strong move+destiny bond)
Use perish song so both pokemon faint after 3 turns,then use a strong move to make it faint. Then use destiny bond when it's the third turn.
(Focus band equipped+endeavor+attack that always goes first)
Before you do this combo,make sure you have focus band equipped.Use a pokemon with a bad speed score,so the opponent goes first.After your opponent attacks,if you are still alive(because focus band MIGHT leave you with 1 HP,you could also use endure)use endeavor to make your opponent's HP the same as your's.Then use a move that always attacks first,such as swift.
Hint: Pokemon you should have
The pokemon you must catch are: swapert, hariyama, jirochy (throgh game shark or codebrecker or a breed), laitios and laitias, all three rigis, rayquass.

Catch a pokemon always!

Best Pokemon
At the beginning of the game, you should pick Torchic for your first pokemon(and it's not because i have a lv 79 blazikien in mine) you should do this, especially in sapphire,(because you get Kyogre), because in the elite four, these two pokemon, when leveled up real good(it will be easy), will rock the house! Teach your blazikien these moves; double kick, blaze kick. these are fire and fighting moves. use these against Sidney(fighting move), Phoebe(fire move) Glacia,(fighting move, and some electricity if you have a strong electric pokemon),and with Drake, use fighting moves, and ice moves. Kyogre should know ice and water moves. Use the ice moves against drake.
for the champian steven;
skarmony;blaze kick
claydol;any water move
aggron;double kick
cradily;preferably blaze kick, but a wayer type move will do.
armaldo;water moves, but you could use double kick.
metagross;blaze kick
these are also preferable pokemon;
manectric;electric
blaziken;fighting/fire
nintales;fire
kyogre;water/ice
glalie;ice
groudon,flygon,swampert,golem,sandslash,donphan; ground
(My favorite types are water, dark, and dragon.)
Hope you like my insight.(And girl gamers; GIRL POWER!!!!)
Cheat The Safari Zone
Bring a Poke'mon that knows sweet scent(A move that attracts pokemon) In the Safari Zone. Go in the grass and use sweet scent and a pokemon will appear with out eating up your 500 safari zone steps!
Deoxys & Jirachi
To get Deoxys and Jirachi without having to get 'Promotions' and 'Game Sharks' you have to do this. Get all 8 badges. Then press start (go to menu) and go to your Trainer card. If you look next to your name you'll notice that you have a small yellow star there. Well to get Deoxys and Jirachi you need five and to get five you need to do special things. So far I've found out that you have to:
*Get all 8 badges
*Get full Pokedex(200 pokemon)
*Beat Master rank in all contests
Rare candy
To get a rare candy. First you go to Fortree city. Go to the right and you will see a girl. Go over and you will see two trees. If you cut both trees go to the back and take one step back. If you press A you will get a rare candy.
Blue Electrike
As soon as you walk out of slateport city on the north side, go to the grass on the left and start searching.
Easy way to catch kyogre
First make sure you have at least 40 ultraballs. Then make sure you have a Shedinja at at least Lv25. If you don't have one then read the cheat in this section which is on how to get Shedinja. Shedinja should know a good move which has an attack power of atleast 30-40. Then go and fight kyogre but before fighting save the game. Before using Shedinja lower kyogres HP by using a powerful pokemon first then let it faint or change it with Shedinja. even though shedinja has 1HP kyogre cannot harm it as it knows only water and ice attack moves. then when Shedinja lowers kyogres HP till it's hardly visible use the ultraballs till u catch it. Now u have a kyogre with no pokemon fainted. Do the same when u battle Wallace's Miltoic.
Berries
Go to lilycove go a bit past the move deleter's house.There will be a man in brown every so often he will give you a berrie.
Man that gives berries
If you go to mossdeep go a little bit past the move delters house and there will be a man in brown talk to him every so often he will give you a berrie.

Best moves for Kyogre
The best moves for Kyogre are : ice beam, hydro pump, sheer cold and thunder.
Get a masterball to catch Kyogre
When you face Team Aqua in Lilycove city. Don't talk to the woman at the submarine, yet. done in the bottom right hand screen should be a teleporter. Go on it and it'll take you to a place full of them try out each one until you get to a room with four poke-balls. get the back 2 and you will get a NUGGET and a master-ball.
How to get Jirachi
Beat the pokemon league and look at your trainer card and there will be a star beside your name get 5 and you will get Jirachi
I have figured out 3 so far:
Beat the pokemon League
Get all the decorations
Beat master rank in all competitions
Chimecho
To find Chimecho, go to Mt Pyre (route 122) on the top floor (outside) Go to the far right where is a patch of grass. Search in there. After AGES (*yawn....zzzzz*) you should find a chimecho. Strangely enough, I would find them more often when my enemy team was there. But that's probably just a coincidence.
Easy Latias
Go to Lilycove and talk to the kid who says he came from Kanto three or more times.
Then head east to route 121 and keep searching in the grass.
Eventually the legendary beast will appear and he will be yours on the pokedex.
Note: You must have beaten the elite four first and seen it on your tv.
The Berry Dude
When you get to Lilycove city, if you go all the way over to that house where the cove part starts. There is a man in a blackish suit that walks back and forth around that area, if you go talk to him he'll explain about this weird 'berry to a T' thing. Then every so often he will give you a berry, it may not be much but eventually, he'll give you rare berries, and you can sell them at high prices. And some of them also have good effects on Pokemon. So, have fun talking to a dude that gives you weird berries that remind people of their past and future. Even if you don't know what your future holds.
Catching Jirachi
To catch Jirachi you have to get 5 stars next to your name on your trainer card.To do that you have to defeat the elite 4,win all five contests and have their portraits drawn,win 50 battles at battle tower,complete your pokedex,and defeat EVERY trainer in the game.Then go to the space center in Modseep and talk to everyone in there. One of them will tell you the number of the flight.If it is flight 100 he may let you on the rocket and you will encounter Jirachi in space.Or you will just encounter him in the wild after you get 5 stars but try the rocket thing first.
Orange Zigzagoon
You can find an orange zigzagoon on route 116. I found it when training for rustboro gym. (I named it zigaorange) About shiny and weird colord pokemon, I think you have to be extremely, EXTREMELY lucky to find one, or they can cary from game to game. for example, I spent over 300 hours at the game and I still haven't found a shiny swablu.
Starter tactics
Here some tactics for who's starting (over) the game:
Starter pokemon: My favorite is Mudkip: it's only weakness is grass, but Torchic is also good, because it's evolvd forms are good against gym leaders and the elite 4.
Then your other pokemon: catch a Ralts. it'll take some time searching but eventually you'll find one. the best way is just to run around in the first patch of grass by the small pond to route 102 and run for every pokemon exept Ralts. you can also run in to a surskit. those are very rare, so catch that one too. your first ralts should have sychronize as it's ability. if you don't do anything with the ralts and keep searching the same way. you should find another ralts quickly, and it's ability will almost always be trace. you know when it has because it says:
Trace will copy special ability. Then, deposit the ralts with sycronize in the pc. the rest is easy:catch a zigzagoon. his ability is pickup and you will get great items from it.
catch a poochyena.
train them all to lv 10 before battling trainers.
catch a taillow
catch a shroomish
when you get in dewford, catch a sableye in granite cave: it's only weakness is bug.
replace it for poochyena
you have to get a water type if you choose treecko or torchic as a starter for SURFing later in the game.
Get items very fast
If you've been smart, you kept a zigzagoon/linoone at all time in your party because of the pickup ability. It can also learn many tm's and hm's, like surf. But now to get to the point. If you have a strong linoone in your party(with strong i mean that it can faint any wild pkmn in 1 slash), store all other pokemon in the PC, go to route 102 and cath 5 zigzagoons. weak zigzagoons get items more fast. Then, go to all sorts of places and train your linoone. in the fiery path and other caves and tunnels, the zigzagoons pick up items very fast and often. Items you can get: Ultra ball, Super potion, Rare candy, Kings rock, pp up, full heal, full restore, nugget, revive, and maybe some other things i forgot. in previos pokemon games, pokemon can evolve different with a kings rock, but not here.look out with rare candies: the exp. points will be brought no zero, so don't use one on a pkmn that is halfway to the next level.
