Map of Terra Cave in Pokémon Emerald — Terra Cave entrance (in-game map)

Terra Cave is the post-game home of Groudon and appears only after the Hall of Fame. A scientist on the 2F of the Weather Institute on Route 119 reports a drought on Route 114, 115, 116 or 118, and a new cave entrance opens on that route. Groudon waits at the end at Lv70.

Tips

Ask the scientist on the Weather Institute's 2F after the Hall of Fame; a drought report means Groudon.
Go straight to the named route, because the abnormal weather can move on if you take too long elsewhere.
Groudon is Lv70 and disappears permanently if it faints, so save first.
Once Groudon is dealt with, the scientist's reports point you to Kyogre's Marine Cave instead.
