Pokémon Ruby hints and tips

If you prefer to complete the game without the help of cheats or want to combine cheats with helpful hints, we have a few tips to offer.

These hints are great time savers when struggling to complete different parts of the game.
You’re welcome to go through our handpicked tips and hints and keep checking back again for more tips as we’re constantly updating this page.

Best training locations

When you want to get more XP so as to beat the Elite 4, you need the best locations to train your Pokémon. The location you choose depends on the level of your Pokémon.

Here are a few tips for easy training locations:

  • Train at the Granite Cave for Pokémon of level 20.
  • For level 30, Pokémon train at Route 117.
  • Route 120 and 121 are perfect for training Pokémons at around level 40.
  • For level 45 to 50 Pokémon, the best training ground should be outside Mossdeep City.

How to unlock rare stones

You will find these rare stones under the water near Mossdeep at the Hunter’s House. Here’s how to get each of the rare stones.

To get the Fire Stone, give a Shard Hunter a Red Shard.

You’ll get the Leaf Stone when you give the Shard Hunter a Green Shard and the Thunder Stone when you give away a Yellow Shard. To get the precious Water Stone, just give the Hunter a Blue Shard.

How to unlock scarfs

To get the Blue Scarf, make sure your lead Pokémon comes with maximum beauty.

You can also get the Green Scarf when your lead Pokémon has maximum smartness, the Pink Scarf when the Pokémon has maximum cuteness, and the Red Scarf when your lead Pokémon comes with maximum coolness.

For the Yellow Scarf, ensure that your lead Pokémon comes with maximum toughness.

How to beat the elite 4

The objective of the game is to beat the Elite 4. The best way to achieve this feat is to use a Kygore of level 80 to 100.

We recommend using the following moves:

  • Water Pulse
  • Thunder
  • Sheer cold
  • Water spout, especially when the enemy already has full HP.

So, keep checking back as we’re constantly updating the page with new cheats and hints every few days.
