How to Get Deoxys in Pokémon Emerald: 8 Steps

To get Deoxys, you need a 'ticket' to Birth Island which can be downloaded through a special event in the old game, namely Myster Gift. However, the Mystery Gift is no longer valid, so new players can't get Deoxys. Luckily, with a few cheat codes, you can go to Birth Island and catch Deoxys without using a ticket.

Step

Part 1 of 3: Preparing to Fight

Step 1. Choose your Pokémon

Deoxys is a Psychic-type Pokémon that is weak against Ghost, Dark, and Bug-type Pokémon. Deoxys is very strong when faced with a Fight-type Pokémon, so don't bring a Fight-type Pokémon to fight it. Deoxys is at level 30, so make sure that your team is prepared to deal with it.

To catch Deoxys more easily, bring a Pokémon that has the False Swipes skill. This way, you can reduce her blood by 1 without killing her, so Deoxys can be caught more easily

Step 2. Prepare Poké Balls

You need to bring enough Ultra Balls to catch Deoxys. Try to bring at least 20 Ultra Balls to catch them for sure. You have a higher chance of catching Deoxys when it's low on blood, so you may only need a few Ultra Balls if any of your Pokémon have the False Swipes skill.

Make sure that you also bring enough items to restore your Pokémon's blood for long battles. Deoxys attacks quite strongly, so you may need to recover your Pokémon once the battle is over

Step 3. Consider using a Master Ball If you have completed the main storyline of the game, you will have a Master Ball, which you can use to capture Deoxys without needing to attack her at all

There are a few other Pokémon to consider catching using a Master Ball, so decide if you want to use it to catch Deoxys. If you want, you can use cheat codes to get an unlimited number of Master Balls. You should use CodeBreaker, which is available directly inside the Visual Boy emulator.

• Click the Cheats menu, then select "List…"
• Click the CodeBreaker… button.
• Enter "Master Ball" into the description section.
• Enter 82005274 0001 into the Code field, then press OK.
• Enter the Poké Mart in the game, then try to buy something. In the list, it shows "Ultra Ball", but once you buy it, what you get is "Master Ball" for $0. Buy as many Master Balls as you want.

Part 2 of 3: Capturing Deoxys

Step 1. Go to Birth Island

If you participate in the Mystery Gift special event and get a Myster Box, you can use an Aurora Ticket at any port to go to Birth Island. However, since the special event was only held once in 2006, there's a good chance that you don't have the tickets. If that's the case, you can only go to Birth Island using the cheat code.

• Click the Cheats menu, then select "List…"
• Click the Gameshark button….
• Enter "Birth Island" into the description field.
• Enter 4A99A22B 58284D2D into the "Code" field, then press OK.
• Go inside any building. You will be immediately transferred to Birth Island.

Step 2. Turn off cheats

Once you get to Birth Island, return to the cheat list, then turn off the cheat for Birth Island. This way, you can leave the island after capturing Deoxys. You will not be able to return if the cheat is not turned off.

Step 3. Save the game

Before solving the puzzle, save the game so you can try again in case Deoxys is killed by accident, or for example all of your Pokémon die in battle. Since Deoxys appears right after you complete a puzzle, you'll need to save the game before completing it.

Step 4. Solve the triangle puzzle

There is a triangle in the middle of Birth Island. To make Deoxys appear, you must approach the triangle that is the shortest distance from your location. Follow the steps below to solve the puzzle:

• Approach the triangle from below, then press A.
• Move five steps to, then press once. Press A.
• Move five steps to →, then five steps to. Press A.
• Move five steps to →, then five steps to. Press A.
• Move three steps to, then seven steps to. Press A.
• Move five steps to →. Press A.
• Move three steps to, then two steps to. Press A.
• Move one step to, then four steps to. Press A.
• Move seven steps to →. Press A.
• Move four steps to, then one step to. Press A.
• Move four steps to. Press A, then Deoxys will appear and the fight will start immediately.

Step 5. Catch Deoxys

If you have a Master Ball, use it directly to catch Deoxys without struggling to fight. Otherwise, try to reduce Deoxys' blood to the point of red with your Pokémon. False Swipes can keep Deoxys alive in a weak state. If you have an ability that can cause Paralyze or Sleep status, use it so Deoxys can be caught more easily. Once Deoxys' blood reaches the red dot, start throwing Ultra Balls until you catch it.

Part 3 of 3: Back Home

Step 1. Climb the S

S. Tidal.

To return home, you must ensure that the Birth Island code is turned off, then enter the S. S. Tidal. You can find it in the south of the island. You don't need a ticket to go home, but you will be anchored in Lilycove City, which is quite dangerous for trainers carrying low-level Pokémon.

Step 2. Return to the house

If you are a trainer with a low level Pokémon and want to leave Lilycove City, you can use a cheat code to return home. Click the Cheats menu, then select "Lists…" Click the Gameshark button…

• Enter "Master Code" as a description.
• In the code section, enter:

D8BAE4D9 4864DCE5

A86CDBA5 19BA49B3

• Create a second code and name it "Home".
• Insert:

6266061B C8C9D80F

• .
• Enter any building. You will automatically move to the character's house early in the game. Turn off the code so you don't keep coming back when you enter a new building.

Step 3. Save

After completing all the steps and getting Deoxys, make sure to save the game so you don't lose your progress.
