Where to find it

• Scripted encounter (Lv. 95): Mt. Moon — deepest altar chamber.

  After the final Hall of Fame and Lance’s visit to your house in Pallet Town. Carry the Red Orb and examine the altar deep in Mt. Moon. One chance: catching it, knocking it out or fleeing removes it; only losing allows a retry.

See the quest guide: Mt. Moon: Groudon (post-game, Red Orb).
