Access

The secret switch concealed behind a poster in the Game Corner

The Rocket Hideout is accessed by pressing a switch behind a poster in the Rocket Game Corner in Celadon City. A Rocket is guarding the poster in question when the player first approaches it. After being defeated, the rocket retreats into the base, leaving the poster un-guarded, and enabling the player to approach. Once the player activates a switch behind the poster, the stairs to the hideout will appear.

Objectives

The player's initial objective is to search for and obtain the Lift Key in order to activate the lift leading to Giovanni. The key is obtained when the player defeats a certain Rocket on B3F, who drops it next to him. Once battled Giovanni will flee, leaving the Silph Scope behind.

Features

This is the first time that the player encounters spinners, a special tile that, when stepped upon, will spin the player in the direction of the arrows. The player will only stop when they hit a stopper.

Generation II

The Rocket Hideout is referred to when the player walks and selects the poster at the back of the Rocket Game Corner in Celadon City. The words 'Hey! Under this poster... There's nothing!' will appear, a reference to the original access point.
