The Ruby Field is a pinball table in Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire. Its counterpart is the Sapphire Field.

Gameplay mechanics

The Ruby Field

Catch 'EM Mode

Catch 'Em Mode can be activated by sending the ball through the right loop twice, though some Pokémon only appear when all three Catch 'Em arrows are lit. The mode starts by sending the ball into Sharpedo's mouth.

Egg Mode

Hitting Cyndaquil three times will push it into the Egg Stand and start heating the egg. Hitting it once more will make the egg hatch. Afterwards, sending the ball into the egg stand again will lead to Aerodactyl or Totodile replacing the egg.

Pokémon Mart/EVO Mode

The Ruby Field shop can be found up the ramp at the top-right of the field. Sending the ball up the ramp once will open the door and grant access for one visit, after which the door will close.

Sending the ball through the left loop three times will replace the shop with the activation of EVO Mode. Again, the ball must be sent up the ramp to start it.

Gloom will always evolve into Vileplume on this field.

Travel Mode

Hitting the button in front of Chikorita will start a Razor Leaf that makes the two Linoone poke their heads out. Hitting the Linoone on the left will make a Gulpin appear. Travel Mode will start as soon as three Gulpin are on the field.

Bonus Fields

The first Bonus Field focusses on Kecleon. The next is a battle against Groudon. After Groudon has been beaten twice, the next bonus field will be against Rayquaza and it will then be added to to the circuit of Bonus Fields.

The Sealeo Bonus Field can be reached through the help of Whiscash.

Unique features

There is a Ball Upgrade in plain sight. It can be reached by punching the ball with Makuhita, which changes its stance each time the Linoone on the right is hit. The first two punches will push Nuzleaf back, making a bridge to access the Upgrade on the third time. The Upgrade will occasionally be replaced with an extra ball.

The formation switch, located between Cyndaquil and the Pokémon bumpers, will change the formation of said bumpers. The Chinchou float in place or move around. Sometimes two Chinchou will disappear and sometimes they will be replaced by Lotad or Whiscash.
