Location and map

You will only have access to the Rocket Hideout after facing the red Léviator at the Lake of Rage. Indeed, Lance asks for your help to investigate what is going on at the lake, and this leads you straight to the souvenir shop in Mahogany Town, more precisely to the basement that conceals the famous hideout.

B1F

On B1F, you first notice a statue of a Persian. When you walk past these statues, two Grunts will attack you until you deactivate the surveillance system.

Here are the Pokémon of the first Grunt.

Pokémon		Type	Level
	Soporifik	Psy	17
	Nosférapti	VolPoison	19

The second one will have the following team:

Pokémon		Type	Level
	Nosférapti	VolPoison	16
	Rattata	Normal	18
	Tadmorv	Poison	17

After defeating the two Grunts for the first time, you have two options. Either you head toward the Scientist, to deactivate the alarm using the computer behind him, and battle his team of three Magnéti, all at Level 20, along the way.
Or you continue on your way without deactivating the alarms and thus boost your Pokémon’s experience. You will then come across a Rocket Grunt with four Level 16 Rattata.

At one point you will notice a checkerboard pattern on the floor. Be aware that when you walk on it, you will encounter a wild Pokémon.

100		Voltorbe	Électrik	23

B2F

Once you reach the second level, Lance will be waiting for you with his Dracolosse to heal your team. He also tells you that the mysterious signal comes from this level, but access to the generator is protected by a password. After this brief conversation, the Dragon expert continues his progress through the hideout.

As for you, you will first have to deal with two Rocket Grunts.
The first has two Level 18 Mimitoss, and the second, who guards the stairs leading to B3F, has only one Level 18 Nosféralto.
In another part of the floor (see map), you will have to battle a Grunt with two Level 17 Rattata and a Nosférapti, also Level 17.

B3F

When you arrive on B3F, you will see Lance, who has just defeated a Rocket Grunt. He then tells you that to unlock the door of the machine that emits the radio waves, the voice of a certain person is needed. This person is in the boss’s room, but that room is protected by two passwords, as the Grunt defeated by Lance tells you.

On this floor, you can battle a first Scientist, who has two Level 22 Smogo , and a second Scientist, who has a Level 24 Metamorph .
You will then have to battle the two Grunts on this level to learn the passwords needed to enter the boss’s room. The first Grunt has a Level 19 Rattatac, and once defeated he will give you the first password, which is RATICATETAIL. The second Grunt has a team made up of an Abo and a Ortide, both Level 18, and you will thus obtain the second password, which is none other than SLOWPOKETAIL.
Once you have these passwords in your pocket, head to the boss’s room.

The boss’s room

Before you can unlock the door to the room, your rival will simply call out to you to announce that he has just suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of a Dragon expert, then leaves.
You finally enter the boss’s room and discover that he is none other than Executive Archer.
Unhappy, he challenges you.

Pokémon		Type	Level
	Nosférapti	VolPoison	22
	Smogo	Poison	22
	Rattatac	Normal	24

Once defeated, Executive Archer flees, leaving behind a Cornèbre that perfectly imitates Archer’s voice. The Pokémon runs away and you will have to chase it down to B2F, more precisely to the door of the generator.

Back to B2F

Once in front of the generator door, the Murkrow shouts the password “LONG LIVE GIOVANNI” and the door opens.
As you are about to enter, Executive Ariana and a Grunt stop you and challenge you. Lance then appears to lend you a hand in a Double Battle.

Here is Ariana’s team…

Pokémon		Type	Level
	Arbork	Poison	25
	Cornèbre	TénèbresVol	27
	Ortide	PlantePoison	25

… and that of her Grunt.

Pokémon		Type	Level
	Soporifik	Psy	18
	Tadmorv	Poison	20

Once they are defeated, Team Rocket abandons the premises. All that is left is to stop the signal emitted by the generator. To do so, you will have to defeat or catch 3 Level 23 Electrode, and Lance will do the same on his side.
Once that is done, Lance leaves, thanking you, and gives you HM Whirlpool.

And that’s it, you are done with the Rocket Hideout.
