Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Legendary Pokemon

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire feature more obtainable Legendaries than any other Pokeémon game. This Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Legendary Pokemon guide will give you the strategy and information you need to catch every Legendary Pokemon in the game. This pages also gives you info on Type, Ability, Level, and Moveset for all of the ORAS Legendaries.

Tips for catching legendaries in ORAS:

  1. Make sure to save before battling each Legendary so you can quickly reset and battle again if you accidentally KO it or run out of balls.
  2. Lower each Legendary to red health and apply a status condition (sleep, paralysis, freezing) to have the highest chance of catching
  3. Make sure you have a lot of high level Pokémon to take hits while your throwing ball as well as lower level Pokémon who won't One-hit KO to lower health on your team.
  4. You can use Dusk Balls in place of Ultra Balls for any Legendaries in caves or while playing at night. They are cheaper and have a higher catch rate.
  5. Try throwing Quick Balls for the first two turns of battle; you have a decent chance of quickly and easily catching Legendaries this way.
  6. All legendary encounters will be reset each time you beat the elite four, so don't worry if you mess up and don't catch a Legendary the first time, you'll have another shot.

How to Catch Latios and Latias in ORAS

You'll be gifted Latios in Omega Ruby and Latias in Alpha Sapphire after completing the 5th gym in the story of ORAS, so you won't even have to worry about catching them.

After completing the 5th gym, head east onto Route 118. You'll soon be greeted by Steven and you'll both be surprised by Latias. Latios is in trouble, and Latias will allow you to soar to Southern Island to save it. Team Magma/Aqua will be at Southern Island trying to capture Latios and obtain it's Mega Stone. After defeating them Latios (with Latiosite) will join your party, and you'll return to Route 118.

How to catch Groudon and Kyogre in ORAS

Groudon and Kyogre are the title legendaries of Hoenn and you'll need to catch them to advance with the story. Both will be in their primal forms and you can only catch Groudon in Omega Ruby and you can only catch Kyogre in Alpha Sapphire.

hoW TO CATCH gROUDON IN oras

Type - Ability - Drought (Primal - Desolate Land)

Moves:

#383 Groudon | Level 45

Lava Plume Rest
Earthquake Precipice Blades
How to catch Groudon in Omega Ruby:
After finding Groudon in Seafloor Cavern, make your way towards Sootopolis City. After receiving the Magma Suit you'll be prompted to head into the Cave of Origin. Make sure to save now. Follow the path that's spiralling down and you'll eventually reach Groudon who will revert to his Primal form. While you can use your Master Ball if you'd like, we recommend you save it and bring 2 Quick Balls ~30 Dusk/Ultra Balls and have Latios in your party. Only Lava Plume will have an affect on Latios, and it's not very effective. Get Groudon to the lowest health possible, being careful not to KO him (If you do, you'll need to reset your game). Groudon knows Rest, so he'll be healing himself a lot, but this also puts him to sleep. If you can lower his health enough while he's still asleep than catching him should be easier. Either way, repeat the process of lowering his health and throwing Ultra Balls until Groudon is caught.

How to catch kyogre in oras

Type - Ability - Drizzle (Primal - Primordial Sea)

Moves:

#382 Kyogre | Level 45

Body Slam Aqua Ring
Ice Beam Origin Pulse
How to catch Kyogre in Alpha Sapphire:
Make your way for Sootopolis City after meeting Kyogre the first time in Seafloor Cavern. Enter the Cave of Origin after receiving the Aqua Suit. Make sure to save now. Follow the spiralling path to the bottom of the Cave of Origin where you'll find Primal Kyogre. We don't recommend using your Master Ball on the title legendary, there will be harder legendaries to catch later on, like Deoxys. Instead, throw 2 Quick Balls and ~30 Dusk/Ultra Balls if those don't work. Kyogre should be easier to catch than Groudon since it isn't capable of healing itself. Lower it's health being careful not to KO it (you'll have to reset your game to your last save point if you do) and throw Dusk/Ultra Balls until it's caught.

how to catch Rayquaza in ORAS

If you accidently KO Rayquaza will respawn and you'll have another chance, making Rayquaza one of the easiest legendaries to catch.
