Pokémon World Locations

The Rocket Hideout (Japanese: ロケットだんアジト Team Rocket Hideout) is a four-floored underground complex beneath the Rocket Game Corner in Celadon City. It is a secret base built used by Team Rocket to facilitate and administer their operations.

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 Team Rocket Grunt is guarding the poster in question when the player first approaches it. After being defeated, the rocket retreats into the base, leaving the poster unguarded, and enabling the player to approach. Once the player activates a switch behind the poster, the stairs to the hideout will appear.

In 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.

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.
