Team Aqua is a villainous organization in the Pokémon series, primarily featured in the Hoenn region. Their main goal is to expand the oceans and increase water habitats by flooding land areas. They believe that by doing so, they can create a better environment for Water-type Pokémon and promote their ideals of ocean preservation. Led by Archie, Team Aqua often clashes with their rival group, Team Magma, which seeks to expand land instead. Members of Team Aqua are known for their blue uniforms and their use of Water-type Pokémon in battles. They play a significant role in the storyline of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald.
