Team Aqua (Japanese: アクア団 Aqua-Dan, Italian: Team Idro, Spanish: Equipo Agua) 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 game

Team Aqua appears in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, but they have the central history only in Sapphire. The team is made up of three different ranks. Their headquarters is the Aqua hideout.

  • Grunts - The lowest ranking members.
  • Admins - High-level managers who oversee devious projects. There are only two on Team Aqua, Matt and Shelly.
  • 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-, and Water-types.

In the anime

The Team Aqua history is introduced in AG017: Stairway to Devon where a member of the team infiltrated in Devon Corporation and stealed two capsules of Creation Fluid, but his plans are stopped by Jessie and James who wanted to steal the same liquid. This same member in AG018: On a Wingull and a Prayer! takes a boat of Mr. Briney to escape from the police and goes to the ocean where a Team Aqua's submarine rescue him.

In the manga

Team Aqua's goal was to create more sea in the Hoenn region, and are enemies of Team Magma, because they wanted to create more land. To do this, they decided to capture Kyogre, a legendary water Pokemon that had been sleeping in the Cave of Origin. After their 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.
