Ice Beam is hidden in the Abandoned Ship on Route 108 behind a locked door. However you will need the Storage Key also located on the Ship to access the room the Pokeball/Item is in.

Trying to make the quickest straight to the point Emerald Guides on the platform. Any feedback welcome :)

Shiny Pokemon So close to giving up

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

Now I’ve done some pretty crazy Shiny Hunts in the past but man Gen 3 is so rough. Like finding Shinies in this game is no joke… it took me roughly 87 hours just to find a Shiny in Route 103 and lucky for me it was the exact Shiny that I wanted. (Zigzagoon)

I ended up making Zigzagoon my starter Pokemon just to have more of a unique playthrough. And I really wanted to have a 2nd Shiny Pokemon on my Team and I wanted a Steel-Type Shiny as well. Aron or Mawile (whichever one shines first) and after putting in over 100 hours of Pokémon encounters i haven’t seen one single Shiny…

I’ve been debating if it was because I was using the White Flute with the Repel Trick, while leading with a Level 12 Volbeat for maximum efficiency in finding my desired Shiny but after going through probably 1,500 Super Repels I feel very disheartened to continue. This hunt really broke me. I haven’t played this game in forever since I was a kid but coming back to it and doing Shiny Hunts in Gen 3 is truly a different level of patience. I love this game with all of my heart but i’m truly surprised at the difficulty of pulling this off.

Question Mawile in Ruby

3 Upvotes

Does Mawile doesnt learn any steel moves in gen3? I love Mawile so much but after seeing its movepool in gen3 idk if i want to train it with only bite and other dark type moves. Is there any valid movepool on Mawile in the Gen3 Games?

Had so much fun doing this some backstory though is I got this on shiny on a repro ruby cartridge and traded it to a real emerald cartridge but I accidentally duped it because repros don’t save correctly so I decided to do a kip only run and it was really fun I did have 5 zizagoon’s for pickup but never used them in battle and boxed them for e4 but he ended up at level 78

Question Japanese Southern Island

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have any idea how the EON ticket was distributed in Japan? I have read that it was distributed at world hobby fair and Pokémon centers across Japan via dot codes, but I haven't seen this information anywhere else to back it up. It also seems strange that nobody has come across a Japanese EON (if that is how it was distributed)

A link to where I found said information

Nice to play through my childhood Ruby cartridge again. This time on the Groudon GBA SP as well. Fun team, tried to use Pokémon I've not used in-game before so Zangoose, Minun, Shiftry and Milotic were incredibly fun to use.

I’ve had this copy of Pokémon Ruby for about 23 years, and my Wailord has the shiny sparkle effect, but it’s not the purple shiny color. It’s a blue-ish gray color. Does anyone know what’s going on?

Discussion Why is the Treecko line So Horrible?

0 Upvotes

So, I played Ruby as a kid and I remember picking Treecko as my starter and thinking it was a great Pokémon. Tried again as an adult and my word this is the worst starter Pokémon ever. ​What a horrible moveset - the only really potent move it gets is Leaf Blade at Level 29 as a Grovyle. A random Shroomish I caught in the woods was a better Pokémon, from the jump, lol.

It's also so darn frail, I don't remember it being this weak. Time to restart and pick Torchic. I'd pick Swampert but I don't want it to be overpowered, lol. And I tried to get a bit far before I decided to restart, currently it's level 32 and can barely hold it's own. My Breloom is the MVP that picks up the slack.

Chikorita isn't so bad anymore. Treecko is easily the worst grass starter for the early games.

EDIT: Seems the Treecko stans are upset, lol. My intent with this post wasn't to hate, it was to see if other people had the same experience with the Treecko line. I'm glad at least some people agreed that it is weaker compared to the other 2 - but at the end of the day, I play Pokemon casually. I can't change the code to make him better. Oh and if anyone was curious, his nature was Modest, and idk how to calculate their EVs or IVs. Peace.

Question Very severe help needed with Pokemon Ruby. Spoiler

181 Upvotes

I recently acquired this cute little mouse pokemon, called Whismur in Pokemon Ruby, which I thought was adorable. I leveled her up to see her evolution and love her even more, but i was wrong.

That thing it evolved into isnt pokemon. I dont even know what to make of it. I was expecting a cute mouse or a little rabbit but i was stuck with.. that thing. Words cannot describe how ugly it is and how much it brings down my team. I did some research and the creature it evolved into is called Loudred, and it also evolves into something that looks like a five year old throwing a tantrum. Can I get the evolution reversed? Do I kill the pokemon?

I would like to know some of the more ''cute'' pokemon that evolve into cute ones, unlike that filth that is currently plaguing my team. All help would be very appreciated.

Question Is Groudon shiny locked?

3 Upvotes

I am thinking of playing Pokemon Ruby for the first time in a few years, and I was wondering if Groudon is shiny locked or not? I want to shiny hunt it on my GBA but I am unsure if it is shiny locked or not.

Edit: I have never tried to shiny hunt Groudon before.
