About Rising Ruby & Sinking Sapphire
Drayano's enhancement hack of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Every route holds 10 or more wild Pokémon so the whole National Dex (minus legendaries, which live on Mirage spots) is obtainable before the Elite Four. Gym Leaders and admins run full teams of six with held items and competitive movesets, level-up movepools were reworked so useful moves come earlier, and dozens of Pokémon received stat, ability or type buffs. Two builds are offered: the Normal build with all changes, and a Legit build that drops the moves and abilities that don't exist in official games.
What's changed
- All 721 Pokémon obtainable; 10+ species per route with a flat 10% rate each
- Starters, Eevee, Plusle and Minun appear only in horde battles (Sweet Scent / Honey)
- Legendaries gathered on Mirage spots by island type
- Full six-Pokémon teams for Gym Leaders, admins, the Elite Four and rematches
- Level-up moves reordered and expanded; some Pokémon gain brand-new moves and abilities
- Trade evolutions replaced with level or item evolutions
- Shops sell evolution items, Mega Stones and select TMs
- Balanced for a full team with the Exp. Share turned off
What this guide covers
Every guide here is built from the hack's own documentation. Where a hack changed something but never published the numbers, this says so rather than quietly filling the gap with the original game's — which would be worse than leaving it out.

| Wild Pokémon by area | From the hack | |
| Encounter rates | Not published by the hack | Drayano's area list names what appears where, not how often. Omega Ruby's own rates wouldn't apply — this hack rewrites every table — so no percentages are shown. |
