Learn how to navigate the Battle Pyramid in Pokemon Emerald, defeat trainers, and challenge Brandon for the Silver and Gold Brave symbols.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Before entering, talk to the person next to the computer near the bridge. They will inform you about the wild Pokemon you will face. If they mention paralysis, bring a Ground and fast Pokemon. For poison, bring a Psychic Pokemon. For burning, bring a Water Pokemon.
  2. 2
    Inside the Battle Pyramid, it is dark, and the move Flash will not work.
  3. 3
    Defeating trainers and wild Pokemon increases the room's brightness. Avoid fighting every opponent to conserve your Pokemon's PP (Power Points) for higher floors.
  4. 4
    Your objective is to reach the seventh floor by finding the blue warp panel on each floor.
  5. 5
    You can find the warp panel by searching or by talking to defeated trainers, who may reveal the direction of the exit or an item.
  6. 6
    Reach the top of the pyramid to earn Battle Points.
  7. 7
    After clearing the pyramid three times in a row, speak to the person at the top. They will mention someone reached the top faster than you.
  8. 8
    You must then fight Brandon, the Frontier Brain of the Battle Pyramid.

Brandon's Pokemon (First Battle):

  • Regirock (Rock) - Item: Quick Claw. Moves: Explosion, Earthquake, Ancientpower, Super Power.
  • Registeel (Steel) - Item: Leftovers. Moves: Iron Defense, Toxic, Earthquake, Metal Claw.
  • Regice (Ice) - Item: Chesto Berry. Moves: Amnesia, Ice Beam, Thunder, Rest.

Strategy for Brandon (First Battle):

  • Start with a Water Pokemon against Regirock. Physical attacks are ineffective due to its high defense. A Rain Dance/Surf combination or Hydro Pump will defeat it in one hit.
  • Registeel has high Defense and Special Defense. Wear it down with Fire, Fighting, or Ground-type attacks.
  • Regice has very high Special Defense. Use Rock or Fighting-type Pokemon immediately. Be aware of its strong attacks like Thunder and Ice Beam, and aim to finish it quickly or rely on critical hits.

After clearing the pyramid 10 times in a row, you will face Brandon a second time.

Brandon's Pokemon (Second Battle):

  • Articuno (Ice/Flying)
  • Zapdos (Electric/Flying)
  • Moltres (Fire/Flying)

Strategy for Brandon (Second Battle):

  • Use a Golem against Articuno, but be cautious as Ground-type attacks are weak against Ice. Use Fire, Steel, or Electric Pokemon for Articuno.
  • Use Golem against Zapdos, as it is immune to Electric and resistant to Flying. Rock Slide attacks will be effective.
  • Moltres is 4x weak to Rock. Use Rock Slide or Water/Electric Pokemon.
Tips
  • Do not fight every trainer and wild Pokemon to conserve PP.
  • The move Flash does not work inside the Battle Pyramid.
  • Talk to defeated trainers after battles for hints about the warp panel's direction.
  • Brandon's Regice has powerful special attacks, so prioritize finishing it quickly or landing critical hits.
