Finish the Groudon bonus round with at least 1:00 minute remaining. Also while playing on the Ruby table, catch three Pokemon, complete the Keckleon stage, then catch another three Pokemon to get the Groundon stage. Avoid the fireballs/firepillars and rocks, and hit Groundon fifteen times to defeat it. Defeat Groundon twice and you will catch it.
Capture Jirachi
While playing on either table, after completing both the events mentioned elsewhere (catch Groundon/Kyogre and Rayquaza, on the same ball/turn), the Apparition stage will appear on the slots. Alternately, catch three Pokemon, although the slots are easier. Once the Apparition event is activated, hit Jirachi three times (who appears on the table, unlike the other Bosses which teleport you to a different stage) and you will catch it.
Capture Kecleon
Finish the Kecleon bonus round with at least 1:00 minute remaining.
Capture Kyogre
While playing on the Sapphire table, catch three Pokemon, complete the Duskull stage, then catch another three Pokemon to get the Kyogre stage. Avoid whirlpools and ice shards and hit Kyogre fifteen times to defeat it. Defeat Kyogre twice and you will catch it.
Capture Rayquaza
Finish the Rayquaza Bonus ROUND with at least 1:00 minute remaining. Also, while playing on either table, catch three Pokemon, complete the Duskull stage, then catch another three Pokemon to get the Kyogre/Groundon stage. Defeat Kyogre/Groundon twice, then when you activate the slots, or catch another three Pokemon, you will find the Rayquaza stage. Avoid the thunder and the tornadoes and hit Rayquaza fifteen times to defeat it. Defeat Rayquaza twice and you will catch it.
Capture the three Regis
While playing on any table, keep moving stages until you find yourself on a stage which depicts a mountain, with the moon on the mid-top of the screen. Once there, go on Get Mode until you find the three Regis. They are not very rare, so you can catch more than one if desired. Do not move to a different stage unless you have caught the three Regis (Regice, Regirock, Registeel).
Defeating Kecleon
In his stage, he is invisible, but there are two ways of knowing where he is located. Hit the tree and glasses will fall out, allowing you can see him, or look at the environment. If you see something (like a plant) move, go there.

To get the one you want, press Start while its spinning. If it is the field you want, hold A. If it did not stop on the one you wanted, press Start and pause it again.

Zigzagoon helper
In the Sapphire field, a Zigzagoon will be on the right side of the field and is helpful for getting better items on the roulette. To make him help you, hit the point he is standing on. If you hit it correctly, he should be standing up. Whenever the roulette is spinning, press A to make it slow down. If an A button appears above Zigzagoon, press it when you want to make the roulette stop on what you want. Zigzagoon will use Agility to make it stop on what you selected.
