Swarm's second ability 
The Pokemon ability Swarm has 2 effects. It raises Bug-type attacks by 150% when the user
is weak, and, new to Emerald, it makes pokemon cry in the background more often. For
example, in caves outside of battle, you will hear a Pokemon screech more often. 
Shedinja 
To get Shedinja, you must first catch a Nincada, and have an empty space in your party.
People say you need a Pokeball for it, but you do NOT. Shedinja copies the ball the
Nincada was caught in. 
Anyways, with one empty space in your party, level up Nincada to level 20. It will evolve
into Ninjask. When you check your party, you will see Shedinja sitting in the final slot,
along with the Ninjask and 4 other Pokemon. 
That is how to catch Shedinja.

Pokemon encounter is reduced by 10%.

Pokemon with the opposite gender of the Pokemon with Cute Charm.

chance of finding a wild electric type pokemon. This is EXTREMELY useful for finding rare
electric types, like Pikachu in the Safari Zone. 
Battle Steven, the former champion. 
After beating the Elite Four, a new part of Meteor Falls opens up. It is in the
northwestern corner where you found Iron Tail. A new cave was made and you'll find Steven
in it. His Pokemon are in the high 70's.

the chances of finding wild steel-type Pokemon. This is very useful for finding rare steel
types, such as Mawile.

trainers more often.

pokemon right away. After the battle the pokemon will recieve half of the exp. points.

it will fly off out of the treehouse. When you get to Mossdeep City, you will see a person
with a Wingull. Talk to it and it will fly off as well. Then go back to Fortree City and
into the treehouse where you talked to the first Wingull. Talk to the man next to the
Wingull, and he will give you the Mental Herb, and item which is a hold item that prevents
attraction on the Pokemon that is holding it. 
Pokerus 
This is a helpfull virus in the game. This virus can improve all of your stat points when
you grow levels. If your pokemon has pokerus and it's in your party it will spread to your
other pokemon. But these effects are temporary unless you put the infected pokemon in your
PC. In order to get it, you need A LOT of luck. You need to find a wild pokemon with
pokerus. You will know it has pokerus because it will be it's status condition. After you
catch it, to make sure it really has pokerus go to any pokemon center and the nurse will
say that it is infected with pokerus. 
Mirage Island 
Mirage Island is an invisble Island located on Route 130. Most of the time it will be
invisible but on rare cases, the island will be visible. To find out if the island is
there or not, go to Pacifidlog Town and talk to the old man in the bottom right house
looking out the window. He will tell you wheter the island is there or not. The cause is
unknown so a bit of luck is needed to find it. On the island you will find the rare Leichi
Berry that powers up your Pokemon's attack in battle when it gets weak. In the grass, you
will only find Wild Wynauts. 
Cut's Out of Battle effect 
Have a Pokemon use CUT to remove grass where wild Pokemon live. It will remove the chance
of encountering wild Pokemon. The grass will regrow once you leave the area or enter a
building.

To do this you need an Everstone. To get one, search in Granite Cave for a lone rock on
top of a plateau. Once you get an Everstone, let the a Ditto or a female Pokemon that you
are breeding hold on to it. Once you receive and hatch the eggs, the offspring will have a
50% chance of inheriting the Nature from the Pokemon holding the Everstone.
