Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Same Hoenn gym order as RS

    Roxanne → Brawly → Wattson → Flannery → Norman → Winona → Tate & Liza → Wallace.

    • Wattson now has 4 Pokémon (Voltorb/Electrike/Magneton/Manectric Lv. 24). His Manectric can Mega Evolve in rematches.
    • Norman's Slaking is back (Lv. 31, Truant). Same X-Attack-on-lazy-turn strategy.
    • Wallace: Luvdisc/Sealeo/Seaking/Whiscash/Milotic (Lv. 43). Same as RS.
  2. 02

    Mega Evolution + Primal Reversion

    Kyogre → Primal Kyogre, Groudon → Primal Groudon — game-changing forms in the climax.

    • Mega Ring auto-given by Steven post-Wattson. Mega Stones drop after each gym (check the hint app on the PokéNav).
    • Primal forms only activate during weather (Drizzle/Drought trigger Primal in battle).
  3. 03

    Delta Episode (post-game)

    Lv. 50–80

    Major bonus story involving Zinnia, Rayquaza, and a Mega Rayquaza fight against Deoxys. Don't skip it.

    • Auto-starts after E4. Travel between Mossdeep, Sootopolis, Sky Pillar.
    • Climb Sky Pillar (no Mach Bike this time) — Rayquaza learns Dragon Ascent (only way to Mega).
    • Final fight: Wild Deoxys (Lv. 80) — soft-reset for nature/IVs.
  4. 04

    Soaring Hoenn

    Latios/Latias lets you fly freely across Hoenn — find Mirage Spots with rare legendaries.

    • Mirage Spots refresh daily — visit Mirage Mountain, Mirage Island for Heatran, Cresselia, etc.
    • AreaNav shows DexNav rare encounters with Hidden Abilities — chain them for shinies.
