  Master Ball Misconception

  When catching rare pokemon like Grudon, Rayquaza, Kyogre, Latios, Latias, and many others, you do NOT have to use a master ball. What you do when you get to the area, say the Cave of Origin for example, save the game when you get to Kyogre or Grudon's lair, and have a variety of balls, mostly ultra balls. Have plenty of revives and potions. If you faint Kyogre, just restart the game and try again. This make take longer than using a master ball, but it does work. I have caught Kyogre, Latios, Rayquaza, and Latias using this technique. Just don't forget to save the game if you can!

  Head Start

  Start

  At the start, choose Mudkip. Make your way to first gym. Do all the battles with Mudkip (and a secondary pokemon which doesnt have to be strong. I suggest wurmple and then when it evolves it knows tackle so train in woods.) Beat the Rock gym leader using water gun. After that, Continue but stop at the first grass. Get a lvl 8 taillow and start training them equally (mudkip and taillow). Get a makhuita and train that too. Continue to Dewford and give Steven the letter (at the bottom of cave). Catch a Geodude and train that. By now, Mudkip should be lvl 25ish, Taillow/Swellow lvl 20ish, Makhuita 20ish and Geodude 10-15. Defeat the Fighting gym Leader there using your Taillow/Swellow. Go to Slateport and head up North to Mauville. Catch an electric Pokemon. Defeat May using...
  Taillow v Grovyle
  Electric v Wailmer
  and there is one more which I can not remember but your party can take it. Go to Mauville and defeat the Electric Gym using Geodude and Makhuita.

  Quick Level-up

  When you can defeat the Elite Four easily, if you have a really weak pokemon, challenge them again. This time have the weak pokemon in your party with EXP. SHARE attached, and the experience from the high level fights will really give them a boost.

  Finding Steven

  To find Steven in Dewford, to deliver the letter from Mr. Stone of Devon Corp., go to Dewford and go into the nearby cave. The guy with the big gut is not a trainer, he's just there to give you advice. Talk to him and he gives you HM04 which is Flash, and he also tells you were Steven went. Teach your pokemon Flash and go as deep as you can into the cave and there should be a dead end and a person. This is Steven. Then you go to Slateport. Go to the big building with the boats standing on those things for show. Talk to the guy closest to the door and he should take it out of your hands.

  Starter Pokemons

  The best starter pokemon is Torchic, because it has all the moves to defeat the gym leaders once it has learned Blaze Kick, Sky Uppercut and TM Overheat and Fire Blast.
  If you choose Mudkip, you can easily beat the trainers in the start of the game.
  Treeko is the pokemon that is good at speed and atk. It is powerful but weak against fire attacks. Its defence is very low at the begining, but it is very useful to catch pokemon.

  Easy and Quick Level Up in Day Care

  This is extremely easy- just leave any pokemon in the daycare, then get the Acro bike. Have your character try to ride up those slopes that you need a Mach bike to get up, since this does count as steps, and each step you take is 4 EXP for daycare pokemon. I recommend just leaving the game on overnight with the charger plugged in so the battery doesn't die, and just push the up button down with something heavy or tape.

  Quick Levels

  First: You give a pokemon an exp. share.
  Second: You trade the pokemon that is holding the exp. share to another Pokemon game.
  Third: You put that pokemon in your party's first position, and as soon as a battle starts switch that pokemon with an even stronger pokemon.
  When you win, the first pokemon gains more exp. points than the second pokemon.
  (This is extremely helpful for raising week pokemon)

  Easy Way to Catch the Three Regi's

  It's in fact very easy to catch them. All you have to do is find a pokemon with sleep powder or yawn (Oddish recommended) & put the pokemon you're battling to sleep. With this method I caught them all in 1 shot with a great ball. However, it's really luck that decides whether you catch it or not!

  Rayquaza

  First get a pokemon that knows fly. Fly (or surf) to Pacifidlog Town and surf right. Stick to the top and you should find a pathway and an island. Set foot and enter the cave. It's not very long. Then enter a big building called Sky Pillar. The first floor has level 48 pokemon, the second has level 50, third has level 52, fourth has level 54, fifth has level 56 to 60, and the top floor has Rayquazza, level 70. Make sure you have the MACH bike, lots of pokeballs, and really strong Pokemon.
