Q&A for How to Get Relicanth in Pokémon Emerald

Relicanth is essential for solving the puzzle that allows you to obtain the legendary Regi Pokémon.

No, you do not need to complete the game to find Relicanth.

When you defeat a Relicanth, nothing special happens; you simply gain experience points (EXP).

In Pokémon Omega Ruby, a Relicanth is still required to access the Regi-Trio. You will need all three Regis to encounter Regigigas.

Do not use your Master Ball on Relicanth. You should save it for legendary Pokémon like Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Latios, or Latias. Relicanth can be caught with other Poké Balls, such as an Ultra Ball, especially when its health is low, making a Master Ball unnecessary.

You have a 1/20 chance (5%) of encountering Relicanth. To improve your chances of catching it once found, use a Dive Ball and a sleep-inducing move.

To find Relicanth, you must search underwater on Route 123. Be aware that its extremely low encounter rate means you will need significant patience.

Yes, you can, but expect a lengthy process and the use of many standard Poké Balls.

No, you do not need a Shroomish. You only need a Pokémon that knows a sleep-inducing move, such as Oddish or Gloom with Sleep Powder.

Yes, you can catch most legendary Pokémon with Ultra Balls, though it will be very challenging due to their extremely low capture rates. However, some mythical Pokémon, such as Celebi, Mew, and Mewtwo, are typically acquired through special in-game events or external distributions rather than being caught in the wild.
