How to capture/find the Regis

Want to know how to capture Regice, Regirock and Registeel on Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire (Not sure about Emerald) well I’ll tell you.
I struggled myself to get them without understanding a thing the Ancient writing said but after 2 months I had finally figured it out…
Introduction: In your adventure throughout the game you might have discovered 2 or 3 giant rocks with a Ruin Maniac trainer nearby.
Once you’ve got a Wailord (evolve a Wailmer at level 40), a rare Relicath (look underwater for a few minutes and you’ll find it), Dig, Fly, Surf, Dive and Strength you may start.
So let’s start…
Fly or Surf to Pacifidlog Town (once you found it) and Surf west towards the Ocean Current. Choose the right path and eventually you’ll come to a spot where you can Dive.
Dive underwater and look around till you find Ancient writing on a stone at this point you are to use Dive again to return to the surface.
You’ll be in a weird place with Ancient writing everywhere ignore all of them and run north till you get a dead end with Ancient writing on it.
Use Dig in front of it and a path will appear. Follow the path enter the next room and keep running north till you get to another dead end with Ancient writing on it.
Stand in front of the Ancient writing and put Wailord as your 1st choice in your party and Relicath as your last or Relicath as your 1st and Wailord as your last then a huge long earthquake will appear (freaky)! After it stops you’ll then hear three sounds that means the big rocks have revealed a opening which means you can now get the Regis!
How to get to the Regis:
Regice: (Route 105) 1. Surf around looking for a big rock then go inside to find a wall with Ancient writing on it!
2. Make the Ancient writing appear on your screen by talking to it and keep it like that for about 2-3mins.
3. After waiting the writing disappears from the screen and the wall turns into a path which leads to another room!
4. Enter the room to see a big figure sleeping, now talk to it to trigger a battle with Regice!
Regirock: (Route 111) 1. Get out of those sandstorms in the desert which is east from Lavaridge Town and get inside the big rock to find a wall with Ancient writing on it!
2. Stand in the very centre of the Ancient writing and move east 2 steps then south 2 steps.
3. Finally use Strength (at nothing) which will be allowed and the wall turns into a path which leads to another room!
4. Enter the room to see a big figure sleeping, now talk to it to trigger a battle with Regirock!
Registeel: (Route 120) 1. Head west from Lilycove City into Route 121 and you’ll eventually come to Route 120 where there is a corner!
2. Don’t move north instead keep moving west and you’ll find a girl.
3. Talk to her (if you haven’t done that) and she’ll give you a berry!
4. To the north of her will be a grey ramp go up on top of it and keep heading north to find a Ninja boy, a Ruin Maniac and a big rock.
5. Get inside the big rock to find a wall with Ancient writing on it!
6. Go to the centre of the place and use Fly it will allow it but you won’t Fly instead you will open a path which leads to another room!
7. Enter the room to see a big figure sleeping, now talk to it to trigger a battle with Registeel!
Hint: Use Timer Balls for the Regis. You can buy Timer Balls for 1000 in Rustboro City’s Market.
Tip: Save the game before fighting any of the Regis that way if you defeat one of them by accident you could try again by switching off then switching back on!
Tip: Train your Regis and face the Elite Four, the Regis are a great combination together so they’ll do great if you have given them enough firendship!
I hope this information is useful!

one more thing can you catch all three regi’s on the same game?
April 13th, 2006 at 7:24 pm
Hi Rachel W,
I too had the same problem as you and the only thing I recommend is throwing loads of Ultra Balls! Sell your items for the money and if that doesn’t work buy some Timer Balls!
And yes you can capture all the 3 Regi’s on one single game!

plz help me i cant find Relicath i need help in pokemon sapphire and if u can help me ill be on this site every day so plz respond. if u will can u help me?
August 28th, 2006 at 11:52 am
Hi Tony,
Relicanth is one of the hardest Pokemon to get underwater. The only tip I can give you is to stay underwater near where you find the Shard Trader and keep in the seaweed and then sooner or later you’ll find a Relicanth…
P.S. I might do a post about how to capture Relicanth because some people are having trouble finding it!
November 5th, 2006 at 1:14 am
An easier way to find Relicanth is to check out the seaweed that’s near Sootopolis city!
January 29th, 2007 at 4:17 pm
I agree with Britt. I got my Relicanth in the seaweed next to the cave at Sootopolis. But I can’t seem to get any of the Regis!?
Some one please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 23rd, 2007 at 6:56 am
i caught reisteel with 20 ultra balls, i used 46 ultra balls on regiice and 1 great ball on regirock. so i think that regice is the tought
March 23rd, 2007 at 6:58 am
i played pearl well it was fun but it cause me 84.90 to buy that i am fighting great now so well you do not know what put there
March 31st, 2007 at 3:23 am
were is the best plase to get the relicanth?
April 2nd, 2007 at 4:44 pm
Do you have to have Wailord and Relicath to get the Regis? I mean come on what’s up with that?
April 16th, 2007 at 2:08 am
I did not catch a relicanth…..But I have been trying for a couple of days
April 21st, 2007 at 7:49 pm
for some reason, ive NEVER had a problem with catching relicanth. i guess they like me! ;D
but yeah, catch relicath by the place where you get the shards(i always get mine there).
and yes, you do need them to get the regis (only to unlock them, after that, theyre useless unless you wanna keep them)
but when you go for the regis, make sure you have PLENTY of pokeball(or whatever kind). -preferably masterballs
if you dont have those, when you use a regular ball, right when you throw it at the pokemon, hold “a” and “b” and “down”. that changes them to work as a masterball. (worked for me).
but itll still take FOREVER so get as many balls as you can.
May 23rd, 2007 at 3:58 pm
I finnaly caught a relacanth just outside of sootopolis city in the seaweed below

July 21st, 2007 at 2:14 am
i have tried millions of times but i still cant capture them i used 95 ultra balls and about 50 timer balls on regice. i used basically 20+ of every single ball (excluding luxury and master ball) on registeel. and about 33 great balls and 20 timer balls and 1 luxury on regirock. BUT I STILLC ANT CAPTURE THEM.
Please help
July 23rd, 2007 at 2:07 pm
Ok, everyone, you HAVE to catch relicanth. I stayed up till three am trying to catch the damn thing and it was making me so mad because it wouldnt go stay in the ultraball. So i kept killing it. What you have to do, once you find it (i suggest going north of Sootopolis on the right side until you get to the rock with seaweed surrounding it, go on the left of that rock and just find every combination to lead to the last peace of seaweed on the left and farthest down…) use a pokemon that has yawn, it works to make all pokemon (accept the regis! damn regis) go into the balls without being able to fight back, because, their asleep.
Hope I helped a little.
July 23rd, 2007 at 2:09 pm
Oh, and I’m trying to catch Regi rock at this moment, I’m staring to hate the thing because it wont go into the ultra ball.
It will be frustrating but you gots to be patient.. it’ll come eventually.
