Team Aqua: Difference between revisions

If you're looking for the theme deck from EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua, see Team Aqua (TCG).

Team Aqua (Japanese: アクア団 Aqua Gang) is one of the villainous teams to be found in Hoenn. They intend to raise the level of the oceans by using the power of Kyogre. Team Aqua's leader is Archie and their rival organization is Team Magma. The uniform is a gray and white shirt, blue jeans with white circles, black gloves and a blue scarf with the Team Aqua's symbol on it, the grunts in the manga also wear a jacket.

In the games

Team Aqua appears in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, but their storyline is mainly followed in Sapphire. Their headquarters are in the Aqua Hideout.

The team is made up of three different ranks: http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.pokezam.com/anime/characters/teamaqua.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.pokezam.com/anime/characters/teamaqua.php&usg=__gpsgtzYL1ZNS4cj4yDzCFBXGL5g=&h=275&w=379&sz=49&hl=en&start=1&um=1&tbnid=7LtUnFoLVDW3GM:&tbnh=89&tbnw=123&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dteam%2Baqua%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26sa%3DG

• Team Aqua Grunt - The lowest ranking members.
• Aqua Admin - High-level managers who oversee devious projects. There are only two on Team Aqua, Matt and Shelly.
• Aqua Leader - In the case of Team Aqua, Archie.

Their Pokémon include Carvanha for Grunts, Sharpedo, Golbat, Mightyena, and Poochyena; in general, they use a mix of Flying-, Poison-, Dark-, and Water-types.

In the anime

The Team Aqua history is introduced in Stairway to Devon where a member of the team infiltrated Devon Corporation and stole two capsules of Creation Fluid, but his plans are stopped by Jessie and James who want to steal the same liquid (which is really water). In On a Wingull and a Prayer!, this same member takes a boat of Mr. Briney's to escape from the police and heads for open ocean, where a Team Aqua submarine rescues him.

Team Aqua later appears in A Three Team Scheme and Unfair Weather Friends. Their final, and most prominent appearance is in Gaining Groudon and The Scuffle of Legends, when they help cause the battle between Kyogre and Groudon.

In the manga

Team Aqua's goal was to create more sea in the Hoenn region, and are the bitter enemies of Team Magma, because they wanted to expand the land area. To do this, they decided to capture Kyogre, a legendary water Pokémon that had been sleeping in the Cave of Origin. After the Team's plans were thwarted, Archie went insane and tried to destroy everything that had caused this. Team Aqua also had influence in the media. They could cover up their schemes while airing anti-Team Magma propaganda.
