Pokemon Emerald Steven in Meteor Falls Walkthrough
Steven in Meteor Falls section for the Pokemon Emerald walkthrough with wild Pokemon, trainers, items, coordinates, requirements, and strategy notes.
Steven in Meteor Falls is a dedicated section page for Phase 10: Post-Game + Battle Frontier. Challenge Steven's superboss team in the post-game Meteor Falls room.
Trainer Art
Key Emerald trainers for this section are shown here so boss, rival, villain, and Frontier pages have the right character context.
Route Plan
Primary source maps covered here: Meteor Falls Stevens Cave. Follow this page as its own checklist, then return to the phase index when the wild Pokemon, trainers, items, and boss notes are complete.
Wild Pokemon
Each area below has its own table, split by encounter method. A species row merges every slot that species occupies for the method, and rows sort by encounter rate. Emerald has no normal day/night wild encounter split, so every row applies at any time unless its note says otherwise (for example Shoal Cave tides or Altering Cave Mystery Gift tables). Underlying slot odds: grass/cave 20/20/10/10/10/10/5/5/4/4/1/1; Surf and Rock Smash 60/30/5/4/1; Old Rod 70/30; Good Rod 60/20/20; Super Rod 40/40/15/4/1.

Source Notes
- Source of truth: pret/pokeemerald
wild_encounters.json, mapmap.jsonobject/background events, mapscripts.inc,trainers.h, andtrainer_parties.h. - Encounter rates merge every slot a species occupies within each method band from Emerald slot rates. Emerald has no normal day/night wild encounter split, so rows apply at any time unless their notes say otherwise.
- Pokemon table sprites use locally cached Emerald front sprites from
/guides/pokemon-emerald-pokemon-sprites.json. - Trainer art on this page uses the local Emerald trainer manifest and reused Hoenn character art where Emerald-specific artwork is not available.
