Pokémon world locations

The Aqua Hideout (Japanese: アクアだんアジト Team Aqua Hideout) is the main base of Team Aqua in Sapphire and Pokémon Emerald.

In Ruby, it is known as Magma Hideout instead. The base is essentially the same, though there is less water, all Aqua members are replaced by Magma members, and Matt is replaced by Tabitha.

Geography

Just northeast of Lilycove City lies the Hideout, an area only accessible after Team Aqua has stolen the submarine in Slateport City.

On the inside, the player will find teleport platforms scattered about. There are also a number of Grunts to take on, who will battle the player to stall for time. The final Trainer the player battles is Aqua Admin Matt, who will tell the player that Archie, the leader of Team Aqua, has left with the submarine to the watery depths near Sootopolis City.

After finishing everything in the Hideout, the player is free to move onto Route 124 which was previously blocked by a Grunt trying to train his Wailmer. Route 124 connects to Mossdeep City. In Sapphire, the entrance to the hideout is sealed after defeating Tate and Liza.

Trivia

• Because the entrance is sealed after defeating Tate and Liza, if the player does not obtain the Master Ball here before that, they cannot get the Master Ball without winning the Lilycove Department Store Pokémon Lottery Corner or trading one in. This no longer happens in Emerald.
• Despite having deep water areas within, the player is unable to Dive.
