Emerald Team Magma Hideout

Team Magma's lair, carved into the volcanic rock off Jagged Pass beneath Mount Chimney. This is where Maxie finally rouses Groudon from its slumber, kicking off the drought that throws Hoenn into chaos.

Team Magma Hideout is in Hoenn. In the story it comes after Route 123 and before Lilycove City.

The lava-lit hideout crawls with Geodude and Graveler, Torkoal mixed in at 30%, decent Rock and Fire grabs if you skipped Fiery Path. Every floor runs the same encounter table, so no room is worth farming over another.

Team Magma Hideout Guide

  • It sits off Jagged Pass, in the volcanic rock beneath Mount Chimney. The door stays shut until you hold the Magma Emblem, which the old man at the summit of Mount Pyre gives you after Archie makes off with the Red Orb.

  • Geodude, Graveler and Torkoal, between levels 27 and 33. Every floor uses the same encounter table, so it makes no difference how deep you go.

  • No. Emerald hides the Master Ball on B1F of Team Aqua's Hideout at Lilycove City, guarded by two Electrode disguised as items. Team Magma's base holds a Rare Candy, a PP Max and a Max Revive instead.
