Magma Hideout and Aqua Hideout Ruby & Sapphire · Dungeon
The villain team's base is in a cave by the cove of Lilycove City: the Magma Hideout in Ruby and the Aqua Hideout in Sapphire. You raid it after the team steals Captain Stern's submarine in Slateport City. Fight through warp-panel mazes and grunts to the admin, who tells you the leader has already left in the submarine. The entrance is sealed after you beat Tate and Liza.

Tips
- A Master Ball lies on B1F at the end of a warp-panel maze. Get it before you beat Tate and Liza, because the hideout closes afterward.
- Two item balls on B1F are really Lv. 30 Electrode. Save first if you want to catch them.
- Sapphire: Aqua Admin Matt uses Carvanha, Mightyena and Sharpedo at Lv. 32. Ruby: you face Magma Admin Tabitha instead.
- Other items: a Max Elixir and a Nugget on B1F, and a Nest Ball on B2F.
- There are no wild Pokémon inside, so the only fights are the grunts and the admin.

FAQ
Where is the Team Magma or Team Aqua hideout?
In the cove on the east side of Lilycove City. Ruby has the Magma Hideout and Sapphire the Aqua Hideout; each version has only its own team's base.
Where is the Master Ball in the hideout?
On B1F, after a maze of warp panels. Watch out: two of the nearby item balls are Electrode.
Can I go back to the hideout later?
Only until you defeat Tate and Liza in Mossdeep City. After that the entrance is sealed, so collect everything before then.
