Learn how to climb the Sky Pillar in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire to reach Rayquaza. Follow our step-by-step guide to navigate the tricky floors and reach the legendary Pokémon.

Alright, you've made it to the Sky Pillar! It's time to make your way to the very top to meet a very special Pokémon. Don't sweat it, the path is pretty clear, though there are a couple of spots that might trip you up if you're not paying attention. Let's get climbing!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start on the bottom floor. Just head straight across the room and up the stairs you see.
  2. 2
    Once you're up, look to your left for the next set of stairs. Head up those to reach the third floor.
  3. 3
    On this floor, follow the path until you find another set of stairs. Go up them.
  4. 4
    Keep following the path at the top until you reach some rocks. You'll notice two cracked tiles here. Carefully walk over them. They'll break, and you'll fall down to the floor below.
  5. 5
    Don't worry, this is supposed to happen! You'll land on the floor you were just on, but now you can access a staircase that was previously blocked. Head up this new staircase.
  6. 6
    On the next floor up, take the stairs to your left.
  7. 7
    Follow the path at the top until you reach the final staircase.
  8. 8
    You're now on the top floor where the legendary Rayquaza is waiting! Walk up the steps and approach it to wake it up. This action will trigger an earthquake that makes navigating the floors below much easier on future visits.

You can't catch Rayquaza just yet, but don't worry, we'll be able to do that soon. It's heading off to Sootopolis City to help calm down Groudon and Kyogre. Your next move is to fly back to Sootopolis City and follow it!
