Archie

Team Aqua leader · Team Aqua

Archie seeks to expand the sea, using Kyogre as the key to his plan. His conflict with Maxie drives a large part of Emerald’s regional story.

  • Story: Aqua activity intersects with the player’s route through ports, hideouts and the legendary crisis. Finishing the current Aqua objective may be necessary before an apparently unrelated travel barrier changes.
  • In the game: Prepare for a mixed boss roster and a sequence of supporting grunt battles. Heal before entering a major facility, and avoid assuming every Aqua Pokémon is simply weak to the same attack.
