    You need the Mach Bike to traverse through the puzzle.
    • Ride over the cracked floors quickly. It is best to figure out the maze beforehand (Internet or experience-wise).
    • On the second floor with cracked tiles, ride to the end of the maze, and let yourself fall through the third to last cracked tile. You'll fall and reach the rock-blocked stairs. This is the only puzzle; the rest is just going up stairs.

    How do I find Groudon in Pokemon Sapphire?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    You'll have to trade it with someone with Ruby. Groudon and Kyogre are version specific, so you can't catch them in both versions of the game. Groudon appears in Ruby, whereas Kyogre appears in Sapphire.

    Yes. After you get the national Pokedex, you have to speak with the researcher in the Climate Institute. He gives you hints on where to find the caves that can randomly appear in some routes. You find Kyogre before Groudon.

    Save before attempting to challenge Rayquaza. I just tried it out in Emerald and it reappeared. Same happens if you flee from battle; just leave the area and reenter.
  • Question
    Do we need an open spot?
    Community Answer

    No. If you don't have an open spot in your team, the game will just send the new Pokemon to the PC.

    You can simply buy them at a store. They are only in later cities in the game, like Sootopolis.
