After completing the main game and viewing the credits roll, the player has the opportunity to capture {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}. Afterward, there is a final mission where the [[Go-Rock Squad]] has returned and has angered {{p|Rayquaza}}.

After completion of the Main storyline several new Pokémon can be obtained along with a handful of new features. These new features include the ability to take friend Pokémon to other areas (As you can in the rest of the series.) and the new record feature on your styler. The records feature can be found in the menu between the Release and Map options. Both these are bestowed upon the player the first time you load your cleared save file. The full list of Pokémon available post game is much too expansive to fit under this subheading and can be found here instead. however arguably the most important are Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza whos quest's are discovered and completed in that order. A description of those quests can be found here.

==Post Game==
After completion of the Main storyline several new Pokémon can be obtained along with a handful of new features.

The full list of Pokémon available post game is much too expansive to fit under this subheading and can be found here instead. however arguably the most important are Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza whos quest's are discovered and completed in that order.

* After the game, the player will face {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, who have recently engaged in battle somewhere. This may be a reference to {{game|Emerald}}, in which the duo face off in the climax of the story.
* Despite being released before the Generation IV core series games, Pokémon Ranger can communicate with all five to send a {{p|Manaphy}} Egg. This is similar to how [[Pokémon Colosseum]] can communicate with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and has character models programmed for the player characters for those games for use in Battle Mode.
* Because the Pokémon Ranger games were not released in Korea, the equivalent of the met location of Pokémon Ranger in the Korean games is 다른 지방 ''{{tt|dareun jibang|another region}}''.
