It actually depends on your team and their weaknesses; the Fire/Dark types from Magma and Water/Dark types from Aqua. I'd say they are about the same with a good team.
you will get go-goggles from May/Brendan and you go to the desert. Then you go to fallabour town and fight team magma(or was it aqua? i forgot). this is lies there is no team in this part of the hoenn region
If you want to get to flanary in Pokemon emerald (beat team magma then they will disaper get the metorite and go down.
you just need to find it and beat team aqua.so you can go to Mossdeep city.
you would have to beat maxie in team magma and a team magma admin then you should see steven and then steven will give a beldum and dive.
First you have to go to mt.pyre to fight against team aqua at the top of mt.pyre. after that you fighted them all (not Archie), they will run away from there and talk the old guys up there. other one gives you a Magma Emblem.Then go to mt.chimneys top and continue to jagged pass. then comes an earthquake and a door will open in a rockgo in, beat team magma and fight their leader. then go to slateport city into the slateport harbor(you see a crowd) , you'll see Archie leave in a sub. then go back to lilycove and surf north into their hideout.Then fight against team aqua again after you beat them the wailmar will gone.
OF COURSE! You have to beat team Aqua first. [or team Magma]
beat team magma in jagged pass
team aqua and team magma, u have to beat them both as opposed to ruby and Sapphire where u only have to beat the team that is the same color of your game(ruby=magma)(Sapphire=aqua)
i think you need to beat everyone (only team magma) then get to maxie (team magma's leader) & battle him. use level 49's & 50's to beat him
Mossdeep city here is how you get there. Beat team magma in their hideout and beat team aqua in their hideout to gain entry to mossedeep city. Mossedeep city is right of lilycove city
Uh good question. My answer to that is, look for a huge dive spot and dive there and then find a cave and go in it and then go up and then u will have to beat team aqua/magma. After defeated listen where team aqua/magma are going next hope this helped. :)
Beat Archie
Im not sure if it would work but if ruby and emerald are the same then hes in the museam u have to beat 2 magma or aqua grunts (or whatever grunt is in emrald)
he is at the top of team aqua HQ, after you beat him you get the master ball
the cave of origin but you have to beat team aqua first
surf to mount pyre then beat team aqua/magma then you can surf to team aquas hideout from lylicove after that the wailmers wil move and you can surf to modsep
Pokemon Ruby= Magma Hideout at Lilycove Shore Pokemon Sapphire/Emerald= Aqua Hideout at Lilycove Shove Pokemon Diamond/Pearl= After you beat Cyrus at Veilstone City
