I’m fixing up a Pokemon sapphire that was in very rough shape. I had to transplant all of its components to a replacement pcb as the original was badly corroded. Now I’m not receiving a dead battery warning despite not having one installed. I’m not too familiar with the RTC circuitry. Any help would be appreciated!

Most likely it needs a battery installed to complete a check for the battery, so no battery = no warning.
Can you wipe the save data or start a new game? I'm curious if you still don't get the warning. Dead battery should be the same as no battery and both should trigger the warning.
Whoever told you that was full of shit.
