Shuppet in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire: locations, stats and moves
Find Shuppet’s Ruby/Sapphire encounters, original Ghost typing, Generation III stats, ability slots, evolutions, breeding and exact-version moves.
Original Pokémon Ruby Version and Pokémon Sapphire Version for Game Boy Advance. Version-specific encounters and story roles are labelled. Emerald and the Nintendo 3DS remakes have separate rules and progression.
Generation III identity and base stats
Shuppet is Hoenn #146 and National #353. Its original Ruby/Sapphire typing is Ghost. The picture and base stats describe its original Generation III form on Game Boy Advance. Later Fairy typing, stat increases and evolutions are excluded.
Base stats describe the species; level, IVs, EVs and nature determine an individual’s actual battle stats.

Where to obtain it in Ruby and Sapphire
Match the game version, area and method before traveling. Ordinary grass, fishing, gifts, fossil revival and trades are separate acquisition routes.
These records include only Ruby and Sapphire. Story flags, field moves, historical access and exceptional encounters retain their conditions; a listed location is not necessarily open on a new save.

Abilities, breeding and training reference
| Ability | Slot |
|---|---|
| Insomnia | Regular slot 1 |
Ruby/Sapphire have no Hidden Abilities. Many abilities gained additional battle or overworld effects in later games; use the original effect in the linked ability reference.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Gender ratio | 50% female / 50% male |
| Egg group(s) | Amorphous |
| Base hatch cycles | 25 |
| Experience growth | Fast |
| Base capture rate | 225 /255 (not a percentage chance) |
| EV yield when defeated | Attack +1 |
Use the Route 117 Day Care. Eggs hatch at Lv.5; Undiscovered-group Pokémon do not breed. Incense changes the baby result for the Marill and Wobbuffet families. Ruby/Sapphire do not have Emerald’s Everstone nature inheritance or Volt Tackle breeding, and no native Ditto catch is available.
Ruby and Sapphire level-up moves

Every row uses the original Ruby/Sapphire version group. Lv.1 entries include starting or reminder moves; a caught specimen need not know all listed moves. The Fallarbor Move Reminder charges a Heart Scale for an eligible level-up move.

Original TMs are consumed after use; HMs are reusable and require the relevant badges for field use. The Lilycove Move Deleter can remove HM moves. Generation III assigns damaging moves by type: Normal, Fighting, Flying, Poison, Ground, Rock, Bug, Ghost and Steel use Attack; Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Psychic, Ice, Dragon and Dark use Sp. Atk. Status moves remain status moves.
Egg moves and original move services
Recorded Ruby/Sapphire Egg moves: Astonish, Destiny Bond, Disable, Foresight, Imprison.
The father passes eligible Egg moves and compatible TM/HM moves; both parents knowing an eligible level-up move can also pass it. The Fallarbor reminder does not teach arbitrary Egg moves. Emerald’s additional move tutors and Battle Frontier are absent from Ruby/Sapphire.
For this Pokémon’s types, damaging Ghost moves are physical. A move’s individual modern damage class must not replace the original type rule.
