===In Omega Ruby===
In Pokémon Omega Ruby, Team Magma's role in the story remains largely the same but their motivation has been significantly altered. While in the original versions of Ruby and Sapphire Team Magma saw a world with more landmass as idea for both Pokémon and humans, in Omega Ruby Team Magma wishes to put an end to the misguided ideal of coexistence and expand the land to give humanity more space on which to build and develop civilization. This puts them in direct opposition to Team Aqua, who in this version of the story believe that the sea must be expanded to wipe out human civilization so that Pokémon may live without interference. Their schemes to obtain the Devon Goods, Meteorite, and [[Captain Stern]]'s submarine are still intact, but are altered to the purpose of awakening Groudon and triggering its [[Primal Reversion]] via the [[Red Orb]]. Upon awakening it however, the legendary's {{a|Desolate Land}} ability nearly parches the entirety of Hoenn until the player successfully captures, or defeats Primal Groudon. The ensuing flow of energy from the Cave of Origin leads to the two leaders, feeling remorseful for enforcing their will on nature at the risk of everything, resolving to start over the foundations their teams in friendship.
 
Post-game, a division led by a distraught [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] seeks to revive Project AZOTH for the renewal of Maxie's dream, in the wake of his recent guilt and demeanor. Upon their failure and defeat in Mossdeep's Space Center, Courtney is summoned back to the Magma Hideout in Lilycove. Upon her tearful apology, a surprised Maxie agrees to forgive her actions on one condition: that she forgive his aloofness and ruthlessness, and start over in Team Magma's mission with him. From this point on, rather than disbanding, Team Magma assumes a friendlier role working to rework their humanitarian ambitions for Hoenn, with the player welcome to visit the team in their hideout at any given time.

Like Team Rocket, Team Magma appears in the [[AG002|second episode]] of [[Advanced Generation series|their own series]], however, their rivals in Team Aqua do not make an appearance until several more episodes have passed. Much of the time, their focus is on uncovering clues about the location of {{p|Groudon}}, however, in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme!]]'' and ''[[AG054|Fight for the Meteorite!]]'', they come into confrontation with Team Aqua. This happens as well as in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', where their feud ends in a large and destructive fight between the two super-ancient Pokémon they chased.

[[Brodie]] infiltrates many places as a master of disguise, however, it is unknown whether his rank is above that of a Grunt or not.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Team Magma's goal is to increase the landmass of the Hoenn region; because of this they have a bitter rivarly with Team Aqua. To reach their goal they aim at capturing Groudon, the land Pokémon that had been sleeping in the Seafloor Cavern for a long time, after its battle with [[Kyogre]], the water Pokémon. Their plans were foiled by {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}. After his plans becoming unsuccessful, Maxie went insane because he had bonded with the orbs and stated to destroy the Hoenn region with Archie. His plans were again foiled by Ruby and Sapphire.


In the manga Team Magma appears much less organized than their game and anime counterparts. The administrators instead number as three, with Courtney and Tabitha joined by [[Blaise]] to comprise the [[Three Fires]], with Maxie as their only superior. Unlike the anime and games, in Pokémon Adventures, the Three Fires are seen to be allowed to carry out Maxie's orders in whatever way they see fit, and perhaps as a result of the lack of central leadership, do not show much respect towards Maxie at all.
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Team Magma are depicted at first as a lesser force compared to [[Team Aqua]]; their hideout is confined to a hole in the [[Route 111|desert]], and movement of the team in large numbers is often limited. Also, due to Aqua Leader [[Archie]] being in charge of [[Hoenn TV]] at the time, Team Magma operations were frequently reported by the media. However, Team Magma knew about the existence of the [[Colored orbs|Red and Blue Orbs]] before Team Aqua did, so were able to claim an advantage, albeit temporary, over their rivals during the climax of the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}.
 
Operations were mainly carried out by the [[Three Fires]], a trio of [[Magma Admin]]s. They successfully stole the Scanner from the [[Abandoned Ship]], using them to track the Orbs to [[Mt. Pyre]] where they stole them from the elderly couple that lived atop the mountain. Their awareness of the Orbs may have been passed to them by [[Zinnia]] during a flashback in the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}.


Unlike in other media where they are shown to have several types of Pokémon, Team Magma members specialize strictly in the {{t|Fire}} type in Pokémon Adventures.
Also in the remake arc, despite the return of the original team leader [[Maxie]], there existed a new incarnation of the team known as '''Neo Team Magma''' (Japanese: '''新生マグマ団''' ''Neo Magma Gang''), headed by new incarnations of [[Courtney]] and [[Tabitha]], who claimed that their names were simply codenames used by Magma Admins. This team mainly served to co-operate with Zinnia.

Team Magma (Japanese: マグマ Magma-dan, literally Magma Gang) is one of two villainous teams found in the Hoenn region, alongside their rivals, Team Aqua. Team Magma's ultimate goal is to expand the amount of landmass in the world by awakening Groudon.

In the games

Team Magma appears only in the Hoenn-based games Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, as well as their remakes Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, where they scheme to bring Groudon out of its slumber.

Generally, Team Magma Grunts have weaker Pokémon, with Zubat and Poochyena (and Koffing in Omega Ruby) plentiful among them, however, they also use Pokémon of other types; typically they are Ground-type and Fire-type Pokémon such as Numel (and Baltoy in Emerald). The team is headed by Maxie and his two immediate subordinates Tabitha and Courtney.

In Ruby

Though they are first encountered early in the game, their first major plot is to use a Meteorite to cause Mt. Chimney to erupt and expand the land. When this is thwarted by the player, they set themselves up in Lilycove City's cove, planning their next moves. Their final action in the storyline is to steal a submarine from Slateport harbor, which they use to travel to the Seafloor Cavern with the Red Orb, where Groudon awaits. Groudon, however, is not able to be controlled, and leaves for the Cave of Origin in Sootopolis City where it must be captured by the player or defeated.

In Sapphire

Team Magma is relegated to a supporting role in Sapphire, with Team Aqua instead performing the same actions (with different reasoning) and awakening Kyogre instead.

In Emerald

Team Magma's deeds are partly the same in Pokémon Emerald as they are in Ruby and Sapphire, with the plot to cause Mt. Chimney's eruption featured, as well as a new plot to steal rocket fuel from the Mossdeep Space Center. Groudon is eventually awakened deep within a cavern used by Team Magma deep inside of Mt. Chimney. Both Team Magma's Maxie and Team Aqua's Archie realize what they've done has caused a terrible disaster, and make peace with one another after Groudon and Kyogre have been taken care of by Rayquaza.

In Omega Ruby

In Pokémon Omega Ruby, Team Magma's role in the story remains largely the same but their motivation has been significantly altered. While in the original versions of Ruby and Sapphire Team Magma saw a world with more landmass as idea for both Pokémon and humans, in Omega Ruby Team Magma wishes to put an end to the misguided ideal of coexistence and expand the land to give humanity more space on which to build and develop civilization. This puts them in direct opposition to Team Aqua, who in this version of the story believe that the sea must be expanded to wipe out human civilization so that Pokémon may live without interference. Their schemes to obtain the Devon Goods, Meteorite, and Captain Stern's submarine are still intact, but are altered to the purpose of awakening Groudon and triggering its Primal Reversion via the Red Orb. Upon awakening it however, the legendary's Desolate Land ability nearly parches the entirety of Hoenn until the player successfully captures, or defeats Primal Groudon. The ensuing flow of energy from the Cave of Origin leads to the two leaders, feeling remorseful for enforcing their will on nature at the risk of everything, resolving to start over the foundations their teams in friendship.

Post-game, a division led by a distraught Courtney seeks to revive Project AZOTH for the renewal of Maxie's dream, in the wake of his recent guilt and demeanor. Upon their failure and defeat in Mossdeep's Space Center, Courtney is summoned back to the Magma Hideout in Lilycove. Upon her tearful apology, a surprised Maxie agrees to forgive her actions on one condition: that she forgive his aloofness and ruthlessness, and start over in Team Magma's mission with him. From this point on, rather than disbanding, Team Magma assumes a friendlier role working to rework their humanitarian ambitions for Hoenn, with the player welcome to visit the team in their hideout at any given time.

In the anime

Like Team Rocket, Team Magma appeared in the second episode of their own series, however, their rivals in Team Aqua did not make an appearance until several episodes later. Much of the time, their focus was on uncovering clues about the location of Groudon, however, in A Three Team Scheme! and Fight for the Meteorite!, they came into confrontation with Team Aqua. This happened as well as in Gaining Groudon and The Scuffle of Legends, where their feud ended in a large and destructive fight between the two super-ancient Pokémon they chased.

Unlike Giovanni, Maxie himself never so much as picked up a Poké Ball, instead allowing his underlings to do the fighting for him. Tabitha generally oversaw the activities of the team, while Courtney did not appear at all. Brodie infiltrated many places as a master of disguise, however, it is unknown whether his rank is above that of a Grunt or not. Formerly, Butler from Jirachi: Wish Maker worked as a scientist for Team Magma, intending to resurrect a Groudon from a Fossil, but was fired when he was unable to bring the project to fruition.

Like in the games, they use both Dark-type and Fire-type Pokémon, even those not necessarily in the Hoenn Pokédex. Brodie's team includes a Ditto, complimenting his nature. Team Magma seems to be very much organized; respect is always shown to those of higher rank, while Maxie's orders are always heeded.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

In Pokémon Adventures, Team Magma are depicted at first as a lesser force compared to Team Aqua; their hideout is confined to a hole in the desert, and movement of the team in large numbers is often limited. Also, due to Aqua Leader Archie being in charge of Hoenn TV at the time, Team Magma operations were frequently reported by the media. However, Team Magma knew about the existence of the Red and Blue Orbs before Team Aqua did, so were able to claim an advantage, albeit temporary, over their rivals during the climax of the Ruby & Sapphire arc.

Operations were mainly carried out by the Three Fires, a trio of Magma Admins. They successfully stole the Scanner from the Abandoned Ship, using them to track the Orbs to Mt. Pyre where they stole them from the elderly couple that lived atop the mountain. Their awareness of the Orbs may have been passed to them by Zinnia during a flashback in the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc.

Also in the remake arc, despite the return of the original team leader Maxie, there existed a new incarnation of the team known as Neo Team Magma (Japanese: 新生マグマ団 Neo Magma Gang), headed by new incarnations of Courtney and Tabitha, who claimed that their names were simply codenames used by Magma Admins. This team mainly served to co-operate with Zinnia.

In the TCG

Team Magma is featured in the Pokémon Trading Card Game in the EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua expansion. Their ambitions and specialties here reflect the other media they appear in. Unlike Team Rocket, which initially featured Dark Pokémon as an emphasis for their status as a villainous team, evolved Pokémon belonging to Team Magma are dual Darkness-type. This mechanic would also be used on subsequent Team Rocket-related Pokémon in the EX Team Rocket Returns expansion.
