What is a good Pokemon to help me catch rayquaza in sapphire?

Question

I recently restarted sapphire and I've gotten to the part where I can catch rayquaza, what would be a good Pokemon to help me catch it? It needs to be able to put it to sleep or paralyzebut not burn or poison. It also needs to be rather bulky to withstand the attacks. Also can self heal but that doesn't matter cause I can just use potions.

Answer 1

Any steel type such as Magneton (you can't get Magnezone in Sapphire) who learns Thunder Wave is your best bet. They resist its moves and can inflict paralysis which makes it easier to catch as well as attack. HIh :)
