Get Regirock
Regirock is one of the three Legendary Pokémon in the Hoenn area. It has an incredibly high Defense and some say it can even heal itself with any rocks it can find. It can be difficult to track down, especially since you need to solve a few puzzles along the way. Follow this guide to learn how to find Regirock in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Black and White 2.

Steps
Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald
- Prepare your party. Put Wailord and Relicanth in your group. They are necessary in order to complete the Sealed Chamber puzzle. You will also need the ability to Surf, Dive, Dig, Strength, and Rock Smash. The Fly ability will also make your life a little easier.
- Complete the Sealed Chamber puzzle. In order to access Regirock’s lair, you’ll need to solve the Braille puzzles in the Sealed Chamber. The Sealed Chamber can be accessed by Diving in the middle of the rock formation in Route 134. The rock formation can be found towards the bottom of the Route, about halfway through.
- In the Sealed Chamber, walk to the Braille sign at the far end of the cave. Stand in the middle and use Dig. This will open a door into the second room.
- Walk to the back of the room. In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, place Wailord as the first Pokémon in your party and Relicanth as the last one on your group. In Emerald, place Relicanth first and Wailord last.
- Read the sign at the back of the room, and you will receive a message that doors have opened somewhere far away. If your party is not set up correctly, you will not receive this message.
- Gather your supplies to fight Regirock. Regirock is Level 40, and has a high defense, so get ready for a long battle. Be sure to have enough healing items if you don’t think you can last too many hits, and make sure to stock up on Great and Ultra balls. You’ll want to have at least 10 of each, preferably more.
- Find the Desert Ruins. Travel to Mauville City. Go north to Route 111 and then walk to the top-right corner. You will need to use Rock Smash to pass through the big rocks, and eventually you will come upon a desert area to your right.
- Walk down immediately after entering the desert area and you will see a door in the middle of a ring of rocks. This is the entrance to the Desert Ruins.
- Walk to the back of the room. There will be a large wall of Braille. Stand facing the center of the Braille sign.
- For Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, walk right two spaces, and then down two spaces. Use the Strength skill. A door will open in the Braille sign.
- For Pokémon Emerald, walk left two spaces, and then down two spaces. Use the Rock Smash skill. A door will open in the Braille sign.
- Start the fight with Regirock. Before starting the fight, save your game in case you accidentally knock out the Regirock and need to reload. Walk to the center of the room and talk to the statue in the center. This will start the battle with Regirock.
- Get Regirock down to around 5% health or less. Start using Great Balls and Ultra Balls to try catching the Regirock. This can take a significant number of balls until it is captured.
- If you have a Master Ball, you can capture the Regirock immediately.
Pokémon Black and White 2
- Beat the game. In order to access Regirock, you will need to beat the main game. This will open up the Clay Tunnel, which can be reached from Driftveil City.
- Walk to the back of the tunnel. You will most likely have to fight quite a bit to get to the back, so be sure to have a strong party and plenty of health items. Repel will help prevent you from getting attacked by wild Pokémon.
- Stand at the center of the circular symbol. At the back of the cave, there will be a large door with a symbol on the ground in front of it. Stand in the center of the symbol.
- Walk down 6 steps.
- Walk to the right 9 steps.
- Press the A button. A message will appear stating that you’re standing on a switch. Press A again to trigger the switch.
- Walk back to the large door. Go through the door and go to the back of the room. There will be a Regirock statue in the center of a small room. Talk to it to start the Regirock battle.
- Save before starting the battle.
- Capture the Regirock. Regirock is level 65, so you’ll want to make sure your party is ready for the challenge. Get it down to around 5% health, and then start throwing Poke Balls at it. You’ll have decent luck With Dusk Balls or Great Balls. If you have a Master Ball, you can throw it immediately without bothering to fight.
