The Team Rocket HQ (Japanese: ロケットだんアジト Team Rocket Hideout), referred to as Team Rocket's Hideout in Generation II, is the headquarters and a hideout for Team Rocket in the Johto region, located beneath "Just a Souvenir Shop" in Mahogany Town.

Role

For a period of time in the Generation II and IV games, Team Rocket uses these headquarters as a power source to send out high-frequency sound waves, which disturbes the Pokémon in Mahogany Town, Lake of Rage, and other surrounding locations, affecting their evolution patterns. It is also the source of the problems occurring at the lake, involving the appearance of a red Gyarados.

After the player encounters the red Gyarados, Lance requests the player's help to stop Team Rocket's plans. After Ariana is defeated, she explains that they were trying to evolve the Magikarp living in the Lake of Rage because Gyarados are far more profitable and rare than their pre-evolutionary form. Afterwards, Team Rocket abandons the headquarters and searches for their next course of action.

When Lance and the player invade the HQ, the player must defeat the male and female Team Rocket Grunts on the third basement floor to acquire the two passwords to Giovanni's office. In Generation II, after defeating the Rocket Executive in the office, the Murkrow next to his desk tells the player that the password to the generator room is "Hail Giovanni". In Generation IV, Petrel tells the player the password, but also reveals them that the door to the generator only opens when he speaks the password. After defeating him, the Murkrow reveals its ability to mimic voices, and will lead the player to the generator door and open it by speaking the password in Petrel's voice. In Generation II, the player battles a female Rocket Executive at this point, while in Generation IV, the player and Lance battle Ariana and a male Team Rocket Grunt in a Multi Battle. Once the Electrode powering the generator are defeated, Lance gives the player the HM containing Whirlpool as thanks for the assistance.

Though Lance instructs the player to knock out the Electrode powering the generator, the player is able to catch them if they choose to do so, and the result will be the same as if they had knocked them out.

Geography

The transmitter room

According to the Team Rocket Grunts found inside the HQ, it was once used as a ninja base, and was presumably renovated by Team Rocket sometime in the past.

The upper floor of the base contains Persian statues with security cameras in their eyes; walking past one triggers two Team Rocket Grunts that battle the player until they deactivate the cameras using a switch in the center of the area. The far left hallway bypasses most of the Persian cameras, but the floor is booby-trapped with Koffing, Voltorb, and Geodude, which battle the player and have a tendency to Self-Destruct. In Gold and Silver, the player cannot escape from these Pokémon. If the player uses Roar, Whirlwind, or Teleport, the moves will fail every time.

The second floor contains the generator room where six Electrode power the radio transmitter. The room is locked and requires a password to open.

The third floor contains workstations, and a passage back onto the second floor leads to the rear of the HQ, where the main office is located. The office is also locked and requires two passwords to open.
