Pokédex Completion Rewards

Embarking on the monumental task of completing your Pokédex in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire isn't just for bragging rights; it comes with a host of valuable rewards that will aid you in your post-game adventures and competitive endeavors. The rewards vary depending on which Pokédex you complete (Hoenn or National) and the extent of your completion.

Hoenn Pokédex Completion (210 Pokémon)

Successfully registering all 210 Pokémon native to the Hoenn region will grant you access to some very useful items and features. This is a more manageable goal for many players, and the rewards are well worth the effort.

  • Where to Claim: Fly to Littleroot Town and enter Professor Birch's lab. Speak with Professor Birch himself.
  • Reward 1: Oval Charm
    • Effect: This highly sought-after item significantly increases the chances of finding Pokémon Eggs at the Pokémon Day Care. This is absolutely essential for anyone looking to breed Pokémon for specific natures, abilities, or IVs.
    • Strategy: Equip a Pokémon with the Oval Charm and place it in the Day Care with another compatible Pokémon. You'll notice a much quicker rate of finding Eggs from the Day Care Man outside.
  • Reward 2: Diploma (Hoenn)
    • Effect: A commemorative item that appears in your Bag, signifying your achievement. While it doesn't have a functional in-game effect, it's a nice token of your dedication.
    • Location: Check your Key Items pocket in the Bag.

National Pokédex Completion (721 Pokémon)

This is the ultimate challenge for any Pokémon Trainer in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Registering all 721 Pokémon available up to Generation VI will unlock the most prestigious rewards, truly cementing your status as a Pokémon Master. Be prepared for extensive trading, transferring from previous generations, and hunting down every legendary and mythical Pokémon.

  • Where to Claim: After completing the Hoenn Pokédex and receiving those rewards, you'll need to speak with Professor Birch again in Littleroot Town once your National Pokédex is full.
  • Reward 1: Shiny Charm
    • Effect: The crown jewel of Pokédex completion rewards! The Shiny Charm drastically increases your chances of encountering Shiny Pokémon in the wild, through breeding, and via other methods like the DexNav. This is invaluable for Shiny hunters.
    • Strategy: Carry the Shiny Charm in your Bag at all times. Its effect is passive and applies to all methods of encountering Pokémon. Combine it with the Masuda Method for breeding or chaining with the DexNav for the best Shiny hunting results.
  • Reward 2: Diploma (National)
    • Effect: Similar to the Hoenn Diploma, this is a special item found in your Bag, serving as a testament to your incredible achievement of completing the entire National Pokédex.
    • Location: Check your Key Items pocket in the Bag.

Tips for Completion

  • Trading: Utilize You Search System (PSS) for Wonder Trades, GTS (Global Trade Station), and direct trades with friends to acquire version exclusives and trade evolutions.
  • Pokémon Bank/Transporter: If you have Pokémon from previous generations (X/Y, Black/White, etc.), use Pokémon Bank and Pokémon Transporter to bring them into Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. This is crucial for many non-Hoenn Pokémon.
  • Legendary Hunts: Many legendary Pokémon are found through the Delta Episode and various post-game events. Consult specific guides for their locations and capture methods.
  • Evolutions: Keep track of Pokémon that evolve through specific items (e.g., King's Rock, Metal Coat), friendship, or unique methods.
