    I got to Rayquaza save the game but i dont know how to catch him without defeating him. HELP ME!!!!!!!!!
     
    2 words for you young man: false swipe

    Refer to the FAQ to see a detailed guide about Rayquaza.
     
    Frost Weaver Ive seen u reply to how to catch pokemon, and u always say false swipe. I havent seen the move in action and i dont have a sabeley, i have a ruby. What does false swipe do?

    it is a move that always leave a Pokemon at 1 hp... it's your best friend at capturing a Pokemon ^^ It's a normal type move, with 40 PP and base 40 power.
     
    i usually use super fang for legendaries. but if you dont have the superfanger ie raticate, then false swipe would be an option... and Rayquaza is on lv 70, how can it be sooo easy for you to defeat? try to use "not very" effective moves when his health gets low
     
    How it's so easy to defeat? Two words: Ice Beam. Any Dragon with Flying as a 2nd type is easily killed by Ice Beam.

    then just dont use ice attacks.
     
    the problem is that Rayquaza's defense sucks in its natural state (well relatively compare to your super pumped up lvl 100 beings who are fully trained with EV)... the only way that Rayquaza can survive is still false swipe. When your'e higher level than your opponent, almost any attack can OHKO the opponent, as long as this is ingame ;p
     
    In Ruby you can catch Zangoose, which naturally learn False Swipe. Alternatively, if your starter is Treecko, one of his evolutions naturally learns FS as well.
     
    best choice is still Shedinja. Shedinja with protect and false swipe takes down Rayquaza rather very easily. The only way it can kill you is fly, so protect on the right time. It does take more patience that way, but it's safe.

    Another method is just to save in front of Rayquaza, and just put it to sleep. Then, use a high power move that blows Rayquaza all the way down to red, and throw balls at it continously.
     
    does twister also work i heard if the oposing pokemon is stronger twister wont kill it
     
    If you have a kyogra at about 50-60 ice beam leaves him with just a little bit of HP
     
    Then you're probably lucky or something...Ice Beam usually OKHO's any Dragon/Flying type if there isn't a major level difference. And that's only a 10 level difference...which isn't much.
     
    When i tried to catch mine on sapphire my kyogre wat sum were around there...and it would either leave it with just a little bit of HP (no more than 10) are kill it
     
    I always use my best weapon for
    cathing pokemon.....PATIENCE try try untli you capture
    the Pokemon it's the only way I'm able to catch them without cheats.
