For a similar list from Pokémon Emerald, see List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Emerald. For a similar list from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, see List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

This is a list of Pokémon obtainable from events found in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. These specific instances of Pokémon can only be obtained once per game; however, some may also be obtained in other ways as well.

List of Pokémon

First partner Pokémon

On Route 101, Professor Birch gets attacked by a wild Poochyena (Zigzagoon in Pokémon Emerald), and the player has to use either Treecko, Torchic, or Mudkip to save him.

Each Pokémon starts with the same two moves in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, which was later expanded into three moves per Pokémon in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
