The Ruchbah Squad's base (Japanese: チーム・ルクバーのアジト Team Ruchbah's Base) is one of five Team Star bases. It is located within North Province (Area Three) and is home to Team Star's Fairy Squad. The Fairy Squad's leader is Ortega. Trainers who defeat him receive the Fairy Badge.
In the core series games
As with all other Team Star bases, Cassiopeia delivered a declaration of attack on the Ruchbah Squad's base under the player's name prior to their arrival at the base. As a result, an older gentleman named Harrington, who is Ortega's piano instructor, attempts to stop the player from infiltrating the base. After entering the base, the Team Star members inside will begin a Star Barrage, sending out various Fairy-type Pokémon. The player must Auto Battle with the first three Pokémon in their party. The player can heal their Pokémon by talking to Clive or interacting with vending machines scattered across the base. Defeating 30 Pokémon in 10 minutes will allow the player to confront Ortega.
After completing ★ Starfall Street ★, the player can initiate a Star Barrage rematch by ringing the bell at the gate. The new objective requires the player to defeat 50 Pokémon in 10 minutes, and Ortega will reward the player with LP upon completion. Additionally, once a day, Ortega will offer to rematch the player.

Scarlet & Violet arc
Ruchbah Squad's Base first appeared in the Scarlet & Violet arc, where Violet, after hearing from Clive that the base was about to be raided by rebellious Team Star Grunts, arrived to protect it, as he considered Ortega, another child raised in luxury, his kindred spirit, and wanted to protect him from those who would wrong him. Arven and Nemona were also present to support him, though Violet made it clear that he had no interest in raiding this particular place, so Nemona happily agreed to do it in his stead. When the rebellious Grunts launched their raid that evening, Violet's presence was made known, forcing all the Grunts within the base to join in on a Star Barrage to protect Ortega.
