Location of Sky Pillar in Hoenn.
Pokémon world locations

The 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 the 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.

In Ruby and Sapphire, the island the Sky Pillar is located on is blocked off by impassable walls of rocks until the player defeats the Elite Four. In Pokémon Emerald the Sky Pillar is accessible earlier in the game since 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.

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

File:NavigateAtSkyPillar.png
Navigating at the 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 Pokémon Emerald, it is required to reach to the top of the 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.
