Unlocking the Powerhouses of Pokémon Emerald: From Mewtwo to Munchlax and Everything In Between
Who is the strongest Pokémon in the world? Specifically, who reigns supreme in Pokémon Emerald? You’ve arrived at the right place. Let’s explore who stands out, from Mewtwo to the hardest catches in Emerald. Your Poké-knowledge will get a boost.
Mewtwo vs. Mew: The Eternal Psychic Showdown
The question remains: Mewtwo or Mew? Statistically, Mewtwo is the stronger Pokémon. Its base stat total is 680, which surpasses Mew’s 600. It’s like a sports car compared to a slightly less powerful model.
Mewtwo can also Mega Evolve twice. Mega Mewtwo X and Y reach new heights, enhancing its already impressive stats. It’s like giving a sports car two rocket boosters.
In the anime, both are strong, but Mewtwo’s strength stands out. Mewtwo is a clone designed for power. Mew is the original. Mew can learn many moves, making it versatile but less overpowering than its clone.
Rayquaza: The Emerald Emperor
Let’s shift focus. Rayquaza enters the conversation. This Dragon/Flying type from Hoenn is incredibly strong. It prevents powerful Legendaries from wreaking havoc. Rayquaza holds off Deoxys and stops Groudon and Kyogre from battling.
Rayquaza isn’t just Hoenn’s strongest Legendary; it’s one of the most powerful Pokémon ever. Other Legendaries fear it.
Emerald’s Elite: Legendary Pokémon of Hoenn and Beyond
Pokémon Emerald shines for its Legendaries. Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza form a famous trio. However, Emerald’s Pokédex offers many other strong Pokémon. Build a team of titans in Emerald. You have many choices.
Catching the Titans: A Trainer’s Guide to Emerald’s Rare Pokémon
Enough about power; let’s discuss how to catch these rare Pokémon in Emerald. It’s not easy. Some require glitches, while others need post-game effort. All demand patience. Let’s explore further.
Mew: The Glitchy Getaway
You can catch Mew in Pokémon Emerald. But it won’t be simple. Use the Pomeg glitch to reach Faraway Island. This area is typically inaccessible.
Once there, find Mew in the grass. For those who want to shiny hunt Mew, you can do that too. Just expect a long process filled with glitches.
Rayquaza: Ascending Sky Pillar
Rayquaza won’t require glitches. Just some post-game effort. First, beat the Elite Four and become Champion. Then return to Sootopolis City. Talk to the guy from the Weather Institute. He’ll direct you to Sky Pillar.
Sky Pillar has its own puzzles that you must solve to reach the peak. Rayquaza waits at level 70 for a battle. Remember its Dragon/Flying type. Use Ultra Balls and status conditions to increase your catch rate.
Pro-tip: The Sky Pillar puzzle may be trickier than catching Rayquaza. Lower its health and stay patient. You might throw many Ultra Balls.
Deoxys: Birth Island Brain Teaser
Deoxys, a mythical space virus Pokémon, is another catch exclusive to Emerald. To capture it, obtain the Aurora Ticket. This was once available during events, but now you may need to trade or find alternative methods.
With the ticket, head to the Game Corner in Littleroot Town. The Aurora Ticket leads you to Birth Island. Solve the puzzle involving a moving rock to find Deoxys.
Groudon and Kyogre: Weather Report Required
Want Groudon and Kyogre? First, become Champion. After that, visit Fortree City and the Weather Institute to look for Groudon. If the meteorologist mentions a drought, you’re on the right track; Groudon’s lair appears.
For Kyogre, repeat your visit to the Weather Institute after defeating the Elite Four. If the meteorologist speaks of rain, dive into Marine Cave. Look for dive spots to explore until you find Kyogre at level 70.
Lugia: Navel Rock Voyage
Lugia requires the Mystic Ticket for capture. You can find it at certain events. You may need to trade to obtain one now. With it, go to Lilycove City or Slateport Harbor.
Show the ticket to the dock worker for a ride to Navel Rock. This location is significant as it houses both Lugia and Ho-Oh. Two legends in one spot.
Zapdos: Wonder Trade Windfall?
Getting Zapdos in Emerald is unusual. In modified versions like “Blazing Emerald,” a secret Wonder Trade room reportedly sells Zapdos at level 90. This isn’t ordinary but keep an eye out for that trading area.
The Not-So-Mighty: Shedinja, a Pokémon of Glass and… Paper?
Now let’s shift gears. Enter Shedinja. Its base stat total is just 236. Shedinja is often one of the weakest Pokémon. It has a decent 90 Attack but only has 1 HP. A single hit defeats it.
Shedinja has a unique ability called Wonder Guard. This makes it immune to non-super effective attacks. If opponents only use Normal-type moves, Shedinja seems invincible. …Until they switch to another type.

Emerald’s Rarest of the Rare
Rarity plays a significant role in Pokémon. Emerald hosts elusive creatures. As noted by
Additionally, the Johto starters (Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Meganium) are post-game gifts, along with event-locked legends Ho-Oh and Lugia. They fit into the rare category.
The Undisputed Champ: Ash Ketchum, the World’s Greatest Trainer?
Speaking of power and rarity, who is the strongest trainer? In the anime, after many adventures, Ash Ketchum claimed the title of world’s number one trainer by defeating Leon. His dedication with Pokémon is clear.
Whether you support his methods or not, Ash ranks highly among trainers in anime. According to
