This is a sudowoodo, origianlly found in the GSC versions.
To battle it, use the WAILMER PAIL on it. You have only one chance to catch it, so don't screw it up.

After that, you can SURF on the water that the Sudowoodo was blocking. SURF down the WATERFALL, and keep surfing left (there are no fish or anything in the water, so don't bother.)

After a while, you will surf to a cave known as the ARTISTAN CAVE. Go inside, and as you explore the cave, you will find many stat items in the boulders (carbos, etc.) The only pokemon in this cave is SMEARGLE. (hence, the ARTISTAN cave.) The SMEARGLE are generally level 41 to 50. They can only use sketch once before they start struggling.

Secret - Volt Tackle

First, you need the following:

Pikachu (Male OR Female, or both)
Raichu (Male OR Female, or both)
Ditto, if you don't have a Male or Female
A Light Ball

First, get a Light Ball by catching Pikachu in the Safari Zone. This is VERY rare, so be patient.

After you get it, put in the two inductees (preferably 2 Pikachus, since you must've captured thousands by now) and make sure one of them has a Light Ball. After you get the egg, hatch it into a Pichu. Amongst any moves passed down my its father, it'll know Volt Tackle, the Electric-type Double-Edge.

Note that this will ONLY work in Emerald and NOT Ruby, Sapphire, Fire Red, or Leaf Green.

Secret - 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.
