    Use level 80+ Pokémon (Rayquaza is level 70), and you should have 50+ Ultra Balls (or, if you still have it, your Master Ball), and then make Rayquaza fall asleep. Paralysis is also an option, but Sleep lasts longer. If you have it, attack using False Swipe.

    When Rayquaza's health bar turns red, throw Ultra Balls balls frequently. If you're using your Master Ball, you probably need to lower the health to about half, but throwing a Master Ball when Rayquaza's health is red will almost always capture it.

    Go to the route the scientist mentioned (Groudon should be in a cave). Make sure to bring level 55+ Pokémon, 50+ Ultra Balls, and 1 Master Ball (if you still have one). Go into battle. Put Groudon to Sleep, and then use Ultra Balls or a Master Ball.

    Use Dive to get to Kyogre, because it is in an underwater cave. Bring level 55+ Grass Pokémon, because Kyogre is an ice/water type Pokémon. The same method applies mentioned above: put Kyogre to Sleep, lower it's health to red, and keep throwing Poké balls.

    If you use it against Rayquaza, it won't work, because it is a flying type pokemon. Ground attacks won't work against flying types or pokemon with the ability to levitate.
  • Question
    Do I have to defeat the Elite Four to get Groudon?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Yes, then you have to beat the champion (Wallace), and go to the weather institute.

Warnings

  • Use your Master Ball wisely. Using it on Rayquaza is the best choice, because Rayquaza is the strongest out of the the three legendaries.

  • Remember, do not knock out any of the legendaries! You will never be able to encounter them again.
