Finally caught all the Regis, after about a half a dozen more attempts on Regice and just a few balls into my first try on Registeel, just like Regirock. Because seriously that Regice was just an asshole.
In other news, did you guys know catching a Lv70 Rayquaza is hard when your strongest Pokemon are a Lv56 Groudon and a Lv52 Salamence? Oddly enough the one that's doing best against it is my Lv 40-something Aggron, because Iron Tail often lowers defense and gets periodically better while resistances and great defense means it can take tons of Fly and Extremespeed. Of course, one Outrage kills it; only my Groudon can live through one round of that and I have to potion it to keep it alive long enough for Rayquaza to get confused.
Also do you guys remember that Rayquaza learns REST? Because I didn't. It's kiiiind of cool in that, hey! Sleep is one of the two best status conditions you can inflict upon Pokemon you're trying to catch and lookit that, it did it to itself. Now getting it back down to an acceptable level of HP before it wakes up, on the other hand......
I'm never gonna get to start this rerun. ;^;

Caught Rayquaza, realized I could probably use it to 'cheat' at finding Latios. This game file is so old I actually have link cable battled myself on Sapphire and have that Secret Base registered, and while NPC-me's Pokemon were too strong to see all of them the one time I'd tried recently before this I was about 99% sure that NPC-me's team included the Latios from my first Ruby run. So the most glorious thing about secret bases was that battling your NPC-friends actually gave you Dex credit for seeing those Pokemon, allowing you to track the roaming Pokemon without having to first luck into an encounter.
So I flew out to the nearest town and headed toward my Sapphire base.
Hit the square actually diagonally-adjacent to the base- basically literally touching it- and ran into Latios anyway. XD;;;
So he's Lv40 and top of my party's Lv70 Rayquaza. I use Extremespeed and it puts him PERFECTLY at ~1 HP before he flees. So now I've been chasing him around trying to catch his ass because I don't have any appropriately-leveled Pokemon that could induce a status effect now and I think I traded my Master Ball to a different/more-often-played-at-the-time game so Ultra-Ball-roulette is all that's between me and being able to restart now, heh.

That was lucky xD I just kept flying back to lilycove, ran around in the bushes in the route to the west of it with low level pokemon on hand and repels active and repeated if it didn't show until I ran into Latias. It didn't actually take too long with that tactic.
