Maxie (Japanese: マツブサ Matsubusa) is the head of Team Magma. He is the only character in the games to have the Trainer classes Magma Leader (Japanese: マグマだんリーダー Team Magma Leader) and Team Magma (Japanese: マグマだん Team Magma).
In the core series games
In Pokémon Sapphire, Maxie helps the player against Team Aqua. He does not have an active role in the storyline and cannot be battled.
In Pokémon Ruby and Omega Ruby, he first appears in an attempt to steal the Devon GoodsR/Devon PartsOR from Captain Stern at the Oceanic Museum in Slateport City. Later, Team Magma members steal a Meteorite from Professor Cozmo in Meteor Falls, and use it in an attempt to erupt Mt. ChimneyR/to fashion an artificial Mega Stone for GroudonOR. In Pokémon Emerald, he first appears in Meteor Falls, stealing the Meteorite in an attempt to light up the crater within Mt. Chimney. Then, in Pokémon Ruby and Omega Ruby, after CourtneyR/TabithaOR raids the Weather Institute, Maxie steals the Blue OrbR/Red OrbOR from Mt. Pyre. Later, he and the Team Magma members turn up in Slateport again as Captain Stern announces a discovery he has made about the Seafloor Cavern. Team Magma promptly steals the Submarine Explorer 1 that Captain Stern has built and goes for the Seafloor Cavern to awaken Groudon. In Emerald, after failing at the summit of Mt. Chimney, Maxie instead sends Team Magma members to make a secret hideout which has been moved inside the volcano.
Maxie finally awakens Groudon using the colored Orb stolen from Mt. Pyre, although he quickly loses the control over the Legendary Pokémon. Later, Team Magma raids the Mossdeep Space Center, trying to use the rocket fuel to make Mt. Chimney erupt. The protagonist and Steven appear just in time to stop him and Tabitha from achieving this. When defeated a third time, Maxie sees the error of his ways, later disbanding Team Magma and attempting to stop Groudon and Kyogre's fight.
In Ruby and Emerald, after Groudon is calmed, he returns the Blue Orb to Mt. Chimney, disbands Team Magma, and is never seen again. In Omega Ruby, the energy amassed in the Cave's jewels emit a green beam skyward after Primal Groudon is defeated, which casts an emerald spectrum of falling lights across the region. Maxie, profoundly affected by the experience, is at first hesitant to accept Archie's offer to start over, believing himself unworthy of redemption. However, Tabitha encourages him to at least try, offering his continued loyalty to him from that point onward. Softly thanking his Admin, Maxie willingly relinquishes the Red Orb to the player and departs with Archie to begin their mutual reformation.
During the Delta Episode, Maxie is confronted in the Magma Hideout by one of his former grunts, Zinnia, who is stealing Key Stones in order to summon and Mega Evolve Rayquaza. When his Key Stone is stolen, he entrusts the player with his Cameruptite to stop Zinnia's apparent rampage. When the world is spared from the meteor, Maxie summons Courtney to his quarters, where she tearfully apologizes for her recklessness. Shocked by the sight of his normally stoic Admin crying, Maxie agrees to forgive her on the condition that she forgives his actions and conduct, recognizing that this and the failure of their plans drove her into despair. He explains his intent to start Team Magma over, having learned the importance of understanding and working with even those he disagrees with, to which she accepts. He welcomes the player to visit them in their hideout anytime, taking on the role of a friend to them. This friendship even extends to being available to partner with them in the Battle Maison's Multi Battle mode.
In Alpha Sapphire, Maxie and his Admins make a brief reappearance at the Battle Resort when the player first visits the location with Wally after the Delta Episode. During the encounter, Maxie ponders the possibility of him having been the villain the player would've had to stop instead of Archie, alluding to his role in Omega Ruby. However, he disregards such thoughts as mere fantasy, and has Courtney hand the player a Cameruptite before leaving.
An alternate universe version of Maxie, in his Generation III design, appears as a member of Team Rainbow Rocket in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. He is one of the first two bosses the player must face, along with Archie. When the player reaches him in Team Rocket's Castle, he reveals that, in the world he came from, he succeeded in enacting his plans to expand the planet's landmass, only to be dropped into a great fissure that opened up beneath him. When he came to, he discovered that he was in the game's world. Though he does intend to go back to his world, he declares his intent to use Groudon to turn the game's world into his ideal state as well. After being defeated in battle — despite using Groudon against the player — he allows the player to activate the switch hidden in his room's painting so they may progress further. He later comes out into the castle's main hall while Guzma is helping to hold two Team Rainbow Rocket Grunts at bay, only to come face-to-face with Archie, mistaking him for the Archie from his universe. The two exchange words and decide to battle each other in order to see which of them gets to rule Alola, but as they leave, they are both warped away by an invisible force.

Pokémon the Series
History
Maxie first appeared in the Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire episode Gaining Groudon. His goal was to expand the land of Hoenn, believing that if so, the land would be peaceful. After Team Magma captured Ash and his friends aboard their mobile sea base, they brought them to Maxie. He explained to the group his goals and how Team Magma was going to accomplish them through Groudon. In the process, he revealed that Team Magma has possession over a Blue Orb, an item capable of controlling Groudon, as well as Kyogre. Meanwhile, Shelly, who was working undercover as a Team Magma Grunt, released Kyogre from its captivity, thus sending it on a rampage that causes Maxie to lose the Blue Orb to Pikachu, who unwittingly absorbed it. After Team Magma's base was destroyed by Kyogre, Maxie met up with Archie on Monsu Island and negotiated a trade: Team Aqua will release two Team Magma Grunts in exchange for the Blue Orb. However, the exchange is interrupted by Team Rocket's intrusion of Team Aqua's submarine; Archie accused Team Magma of being behind it, but Maxie denied any involvement.
In The Scuffle of Legends, Archie immediately seized control over Kyogre with the Red Orb in his possession, triggering a battle between Team Magma and Team Aqua. Archie then bonded with the Red Orb, but he was maddened by its effects and announced his intent to engulf the entire island in the ocean, risking the lives of everyone on it, including his own men. Maxie, acting out of seemingly genuine concern, tried to point this out to Archie, but he refused to listen. Later, as Groudon and Kyogre prepared to battle, Maxie listened to Lance's speech about how such a conflict posed a threat to the entire world. Eventually, the fight between Kyogre and Groudon was put to an end through the efforts of Ash, his friends, and Lance. Afterwards, Maxie realized the errors of his ways and finally changed his beliefs, now believing that the land of Hoenn is supposed to be kept as is. As a result, Team Magma was eventually disbanded, as revealed in The Ribbon Cup Caper.

Kyogre was first seen in the containment chamber of Team Magma's ship. Aqua Admin Shelly set it free by increasing the humidity levels in the chamber so it could revive itself. It was seen with Team Aqua afterwards. In its next appearance, Kyogre fought Groudon and later lost to it, thus causing the orbs in Archie and Pikachu to separate. Kyogre was able to rescue Ash and Pikachu after the battle was done. In the end, it returned to its hidden location at the bottom of the sea.

History
Ruby & Sapphire arc
Maxie is one of the main antagonists of the Ruby & Sapphire arc. He commands Team Magma in order to awaken the Legendary Pokémon Groudon and achieve his goal of expanding the land. Team Magma often clashes with Team Aqua, who aim to awaken Groudon's counterpart, Kyogre, and expand the seas.
Maxie debuted in Tripped Up by Torkoal. At one of Team Magma's hideouts, he met with Tabitha and Courtney after they successfully obtained the Scanner. Blaise then arrived and revealed the Submarine Explorer 1 is nearly complete. Maxie told his three subordinates to head to Slateport City and steal the submarine.
In Walrein and Camerupt, Archie was approached by Maxie in front of the Hoenn TV building. Maxie confronted Archie about Team Aqua's recent actions, including stopping the volcanic activity of Mt. Chimney and using the media to spread anti-Team Magma propaganda. The two leaders briefly battled each other, but stopped once they realized that neither team could accomplish its goal so long as they each possessed a key item needed to reach the Seafloor Cavern where their respective super-ancient Pokémon rested. They agreed to form a temporary truce and have both teams travel to the Seafloor Cavern together. In Always Keep Whiscash on You for Emergencies, Maxie, Tabitha, and several Team Magma Grunts rode the Submarine Explorer 1 into the Team Aqua Hideout. They met with Team Aqua, who provided the heart component needed to allow the submarine to safely traverse the ocean depths without breaking. Maxie, Archie, and some members of their respective teams boarded the vessel and dove deep underwater.
In The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon I, the Submarine Explorer 1 successfully surfaced at the Seafloor Cavern without issue. Upon exiting the vehicle, the team leaders ended their truce and went their separate ways. They quickly found their respective super-ancient Pokémon in a deep slumber, only for Archie to awaken Kyogre first, giving the advantage to Team Aqua. Maxie used the Red and Blue Orbs Blaise obtained on Mt. Pyre to control both Pokémon at once in order to shift the advantage in Groudon's favor. In Very Vexing Volbeat, using both orbs at once proved too exhausting for Maxie, so he entrusted control of Kyogre to Tabitha. Questioning why Kyogre ceased its activity while Groudon continue its rampage, Archie sent Amber to take the Blue Orb from Tabitha. With the Blue Orb now in his possession, Archie began using it to control Kyogre.
In No Armaldo Is an Island, Ruby and Sapphire arrived at the Seafloor Cavern in order to put and end to Team Magma and Aqua. They were soon approached by Maxie and Archie, only to find that both leaders had been consumed by the power of the orbs. Instead of controlling the super-ancient Pokémon, the two team leaders were now controlled by the Pokémon themselves. Ruby and Sapphire teamed up to fight the team leaders and managed to temporarily stun them, but when Ruby tried taking the orbs away, he found they were now stuck to Maxie and Archie's hands. The orbs sank further into Maxie and Archie's bodies, fully putting them under Groudon and Kyogre's control. With their newfound power, Maxie and Archie grabbed Ruby and Sapphire, then gathered every Grunt still inside the cavern and flew them to the surface. They then flew everyone to Sootopolis City, where Groudon and Kyogre planned to have their final battle.
In The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV, Maxie and Archie arrived at their destination. They threw everyone else away and landed on top of their respective super-ancient Pokémon, who proceeded to clash with each other. Ruby and Sapphire used a shard of the Grand Meteor combined with their Pokémon's attacks to force the Red and Blue Orbs out of Maxie and Archie's bodies. They successfully defeated the villains, only for the orbs to move to Ruby and Sapphire's bodies instead. Their efforts also created a giant explosion that engulfed the area and sent Ruby and Sapphire flying elsewhere.
In It All Ends Now III, after returning to Sootopolis, Ruby teamed up with Courtney to stop Groudon and Kyogre. They used the orbs to control the Pokémon, but Courtney faltered due to not training to properly utilize the Blue Orb. While keeping themselves hidden, Maxie and Archie sabotaged the heroes' efforts by dragging Courtney into the Cave of Origin as it collapsed, leading to her death. Eventually, with the assistance of Norman and Rayquaza, Ruby used both orbs to force Groudon and Kyogre to leave and return to their deep slumber. In It All Ends Now V, with Ruby and Norman exhausted, Maxie and Archie revealed themselves. They attacked Ruby, hoping to steal the orbs and continue Groudon and Kyogre's final battle. Wallace stepped in to save Ruby, but was forced to surrender when Maxie and Archie revealed they were keeping Winona hostage.
In It All Ends Now VII, a victorious Maxie and Archie gloated over their victory, only to be interrupted by Ruby's Feebas, Feefee. The Fish Pokémon attempted to stop the villains, but was easily swatted away and beaten for her efforts. Angered, Ruby defended his Pokémon, causing her to evolve into a Milotic. Maxie and Archie sent out their Pokémon to battle Ruby and Sapphire, but secretly used the chaos to try and escape with the orbs using Wallace's aircar. By powering up their Plusle and Minun with the New Mauville generator, Ruby and Sapphire defeated Maxie and Archie by trapping them in a giant field of electricity. Not wanting another victim, Ruby revealed he was in possession of a Celebi the entire time and sent inside the electrical field. Celebi retrieved the two orbs from Maxie and Archie's clutches, shattered them into pieces, and used its time travel abilities to revive those who died in the final battle.
Emerald arc
It is revealed that Maxie and Archie were rescued from the electrical sphere by Sird. Sird reveals that Maxie and Archie's bodies are breaking down due to the effect of letting Kyogre and Groudon possess them. She offers a suit of armor to one of the villains that can slow down the process of their decaying, but only to whomever defeats the other in battle. Archie manages to defeat Maxie and wins the armor, thus becoming the armored man, Guile Hideout.
Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc
Maxie is revealed to still be alive. Alongside Archie, Maxie travels to the Kanto region, where they find Bill, who had obtained the shattered remains of the Red and Blue Orbs from Team Rocket in the FireRed & LeafGreen arc. They attack Bill and steal the shards from him, which have now regenerated back into their forms as Orbs. They steal Bill's boat and use it to travel back to the Hoenn region. Upon arriving, Maxie and Archie are approached by Red and Green, two Kanto Pokédex holders that are friends with Bill. Red and Green attack Maxie and Archie to avenge their injured friend and retrieve the stolen Orbs. To combat their opponents, Maxie and Archie reveal they have learned to use Mega Evolution and use it to face the two Pokédex holders, who counter with their own Mega-Evolved Pokémon.
The battle is interrupted by Blaise and Amber. Although Blaise finds the new appearance of their leaders suspicious, Amber reveals that they summoned Groudon and Kyogre from their resting places with the power of Hoopa. Immediately after, Groudon and Kyogre appear, having followed the presence of the Orbs. Maxie and Archie use the Orbs to revert Groudon and Kyogre into their Primal forms, greatly increasing their power to the point where they easily defeat Red and Green. Groudon and Kyogre's rampage is interrupted by Ruby and Emerald, who attempt to fight the super-ancient Pokémon but are unable to damage them. Maxie and Archie use Groudon and Kyogre to easily blast Ruby and Emerald out of the sky, easily defeating them. With their opponents on the ground, Maxie and Archie gloat over their victory and reveal that their return is all for the sake of saving the planet from the meteoroid threatening to destroy it.
Later, at the Meteor Village, Maxie trains alongside Archie in order to teach Groudon Precipice Blades. They were given a training space by the village Elder, who agreed to help in their attempt to stop the meteoroid. After a day, Maxie and Archie finish their training and exit their training space. Just as they do so, Rayquaza sees Groudon and Kyogre through Hoopa's ring and attempts to attack by flying towards the ring. The experience scares Hoopa, causing it to accidentally send Rayquaza to another ring connecting the village to Route 120. Maxie and Archie chase after Rayquaza and arrive at Route 120 by forcing their way through Hoopa's ring. They decide to test the moves Groudon and Kyogre learned on Rayquaza, but are interrupted by large chunks of the meteoroid falling down on them. To destroy the chunks, Maxie, Archie, Ruby, and Sapphire combine the powers of Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, and Rayquaza into a single attack.
As the attack of the three super-ancient Pokémon struggles to destroy the meteoroid chunk, Maxie and Archie's bodies run out of energy and begin to break down. The combined attack eventually breaks the meteoroid chunk into pieces, which fall onto Groudon and Kyogre, knocking them out. After watching from afar, Blaise and Amber go down to see if their leaders are safe, only to find them both in the process of fading away. Maxie and Archie explain to the two that after their "deaths", their spirits ended up in another world, where they at one point melded together and became one. After a hole to the real world was opened, an unknown voice called out to them, asking to protect the planet. After escaping from the world, they regained their bodies, albeit slightly different, gained Mega Evolution, and stole the orbs from Bill in order to save the planet from destruction. Just as they disappear completely, Maxie and Archie ask their subordinates to protect the planet.

In High-tailing It from Haunter, Maxie was briefly seen when the Advanced level Grunt was talking to Diamond about the past accomplishments of the Pokédex holders.

Maxie is seen with five Houndoom. One was first sent out at Sootopolis City to attack Ruby to take the Red and Blue Orbs back. After Ruby was immobilized, Houndoom set fire to Norman's corpse in case he came back to stop them with Rayquaza again. Later, it was used to battle Ruby's Mumu and Sapphire's Chic. Houndoom was defeated by a combination of Sky Uppercut and Muddy Water. Afterward, Maxie sent out four more Houndoom to distract Ruby and Sapphire while he and Archie escaped.
None of Houndoom's moves are known.

Camerupt is Maxie's main Pokémon. He was first sent out to battle Archie's Walrein. Despite the type disadvantage, the battle ended in a tie due to use of both Pokémon's Abilities. At the Seafloor Cavern, he was used alongside Archie's Walrein to battle Ruby's Mumu and Sapphire's Chic. Although the Pokédex holders fought with powerful moves, Camerupt and Walrein emerged the victors, but left their Trainers open to be attacked. In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire chapter, he was used to battle Red and Green to stop them from taking the Red and Blue Orbs. Even though he Mega Evolved, he was eventually defeated. With Maxie's Mega Glasses, he can Mega Evolve into Mega Camerupt. After Maxie disappeared, he was taken by Blaise alongside Maxie's Mega Glasses. He is level 68, has a Quiet nature, and his Characteristic is "often lost in thought."
Camerupt's known moves are Eruption and Overheat, and his Ability is Magma Armor.

Groudon is a super-ancient Pokémon that clashed with Kyogre in the past. Team Magma sought to reawaken it to achieve their goal in expanding the land. With the Red Orb, Maxie controlled Groudon after it was awakened. The prolonged use of the Red Orb instead leads to Maxie being controlled by Groudon. After the Orbs are removed from Maxie and Archie's bodies, they move to Ruby and Sapphire. With the power of the Orbs and Rayquaza, Groudon moves to Mt. Chimney to return to its slumber. In the thirteenth chapter, Groudon is awakened from its slumber by Hoopa, who was manipulated by Blaise and Amber to summon the super-ancient Pokémon so they can achieve Primal Reversion. After meeting up with Maxie again, Groudon was given the Red Orb to become Primal Groudon.

Kyogre was temporarily controlled by Maxie through the use of the Blue Orb. When the strain of using two Orbs at the same time proved too much for Maxie, he gave the Blue Orb to Tabitha. It was later taken by Amber, who gave it to Archie to control Kyogre with.
