Can Duskull be shiny in the first floor of mt pyre ??

I’m genuinely losing my mind from how many encounters i’ve done with nothing … wayyy over odds.

Now, I’ll start off by admitting I am historically not a huge fan of this gen. I’ve been on the franchise train since Red and Blue, but RBE don’t really have the same nostalgic charm for me.

I am replying my original cartridge, and just got to Victory Road. Man, is this a slog. The best EXP yields in the first floor are Hariyama, Golbat, and Lairon.

But they’re all various levels of tanky (by choice, I am using a less-than ideal team), but the real sin is giving them Whirlwind and Roar. If I can’t one-shot them, I basically waste time and PP of my moves. Belly Drum into Whirlwind is a masterclass of random move selection. :/

End rant, thanks for humoring me.

I have beaten the Elite 4 and tried to catch groudon because I think that it should respawn here at the cave of origin in pokemon ruby. I couldn't find it at its original location and some people said there is a "shortcut in the left side" where I need to go in order to catch it. But I cant find any way except for my original one.
Please help me find the location of Groudon and the secret new entrance

I don’t know if this is the place to ask, but I figured I would try. Pokémon Ruby was the first pokémon game I ever played and I recently just found the cartridge. Does anyone know a reliable place to grab a game boy or even better, an old DS lite to play the game on? I’ve been replaying all my old pokémon games on a DSi but I would absolutely love to dive back into my first love. Thanks in advance for any help!

I don't know if there's more than this method that I'm gonna show, but here you go:

You need to trade with an emerald savefile (not sure if it works with FRLG or not) that has the national Dex obtained. And voilà, you'll have your national Dex and can see all of your 386 pokemon

Hello everyone ,

I had just received my Gameboy Epilogue and need some help regarding shiny hunting.

I couldn’t find a good tutorial on youtube that i could follow , and im also on Mac.

If you could please share some help or anything that would be great !

Thank you all in advance!!!

EDIT: I got it solved and was able to do it ! Actually found my shiny torchic today !!

It's my first time playing pokemon ruby and I really wanna enjoy it because I know I'll never get the chance to play it for the first time again. Should I play normally and try and fill my pokedex? Or should I challenge myself and nuzlock it first go.

(I'm not new to pokemon games and I've never nuzlocked before either)

I got this version of the game off of somewhere I will not be revealing. I got to Rustboro City, got the Gym Badge, and watched the Team Magma Grunt steal the stuff from Devon Goods. I followed him on Route 116, got to the tunnel, and found what's in the picture.

Now, I've played the real game before, and I know for a fact these two boulders are not supposed to be here. I've talked to Every NPC I can in the game, beaten Every Possible Battle so far, and explored Every Currently Available Place, and Nothing has worked.

Is there a way to get Rock Smash this early in the game? Or is there a way to activate something that removes the boulders that I haven't tried yet? Should I call it quits? PLEASE I'M DEPSERATE!!!

(edit: did this work? can you see the photo now?)

I saw the other kids play this in the portables after school and i finally got one to appease the child in me that always wanted to kno what it’s all abt.

My first pokemon game was diamond on the DS. Loved it. I had cresselia, regigiggas, darkrai, mesprit, etc. But I realized I never played the OG games and since I came into possession of a refurbished Gameboy Adv. I decided we starting with Gen. 3.

That all being said, what should I look out for on my first play thru of Ruby? I just got the running shoes and I believe that’s the end of the prologue, I like collecting legendaries and making tanky builds. I love a challenge. I chose Mudkip, my goat 🤌🏼.

I have a copy of pokemon ruby for the GBA and I play it on my Nintendo DS Lite. Is there any way I could transfer them from the GBA game to either pokemon home, or to a 3DS?
