Hint: Open Regirock/Registeel/Regice Lair
NOTE: You need a Relicanth and a Wailord on your team.
At the sealed chamber midway between Pacifidlog and Slateport (accessible only from Pacifidlog) use Dive to enter a tunnel that leads to a slab with braille. Surface there and enter the sealed chamber.
The next step is to go to the back of that room and use Dig on the space where you see braille in the back of the room to open up the next area.
Go to the rear part of the second room and read the inscriptions. It says you must have a Relicanth in the lead slot and a Wailord in the last slot (of your Pokemon line-up). You will then open up the entrances to each lair.
Unlockable: Exclusive Pokemon: Kyogre
The Sapphire version allows you to catch the ancient Pokemon Kyogre. It's only available in Sapphire, and you only face it once... in the Cave of Origin in Sootopolis City. Save your Master Ball so you'll be sure to capture it at this encounter.
Unlockable: Find Latias

Unlockable: Find Corsola

3. Also, you must have some Pokeballs if you have any.

Hint: Get to Rayquaza Quickly
Enter the Sky Pillar. Go to the second floor. Once you are there, use dig. It will take you right to Rayquaza.
Hint: Capture Ralts
Ralts (the Pokemon Wally has as a starter) is a good pokemon to have in your party through out your entire game. If you want to get it at the start of your game, go to route 102 (outside of Petalburg City) and check in the small pile of grass.
At the start of the game, it is pretty hard to find Ralts unless your Pokemon really likes you, which is almost impossible. Just be patient, and you'll find Ralts. He/She evolves into Kirlia, then into Gardevoir.
Hint: Bring My Fossil to Life
Go to the sandstorm in Route 111 and go all the way up and all the way to the right. There you will find two fossils--The Claw Fossil and the Root Fossil--and you'll need to pick one. Then go to the President's office in Rustboro City. Enter the room with lots of scientists and talk to the one in the lower right hand corner. Next, exit the building and walk around for about 30 seconds. Go back in, talk to the same scientist that you talked to the first time and you will have the Pokémon from the fossil.
