Pokémon World Locations

Sky Pillar (Japanese: そらのはしら Sky Pillar) is a location in Hoenn. It is located on the northern edge of Route 131 in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald.

On top of Sky Pillar lies Rayquaza, the highest-leveled wild Pokémon in the game.

Like many special locations in Hoenn, players must have the Mach Bike in order to navigate through it fully, as there are broken parts of the floor on the second and fourth floors. On every other floor, there are wild Altaria, Banette, Claydol, Dusclops, Golbat, Mawile, and Sableye.

Sky Pillar must be accessed earlier in Pokémon Emerald. Rayquaza is needed to abate the conflict in Sootopolis City between Groudon and Kyogre. As a result of this, the wild Pokémon are lower leveled, and less of the floor is cracked. Unlike in Emerald, the island Sky Pillar is located on is blocked off by impassable walls of rocks until the player first defeats the Elite Four in Ruby and Sapphire. In Emerald, when the player wants to catch/battle Rayquaza, all floors except 6th are like these on Ruby and Sapphire, though wild Pokémon are without visible changes.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Norman and Wally trek up the pillar together. The pillar is a maze which requires both an adult and a child to go through (a child to go through the small tunnels and an adult to pull the heavy chains to open doors in those tunnels). While trekking through the tunnels, Wally realizes that Norman in fact wanted to climb up the pillar with his son, Ruby.

The Sky Pillar has 50 floors with a wild Dusclops on the 49th floor. Wally defeated the Dusclops with his newly-evolved Grovyle.

Trivia

Navigating at Sky Pillar using a Mach Bike

• The Sky Pillar is the only place with legendary Pokémon over level 50 which can be accessed before the Elite Four in any game.
• In Emerald Version, it is required to reach to the top of Sky Pillar to advance the storyline, whereas in Ruby and Sapphire Versions it is optional.
• By stopping the bike on a certain section of cracked floor tiles on 2F, it is possible to fall on top of a rock. However, it is possible to walk off the rock, so there is no risk of being stuck there.
