Maxie and Cameruptite

After the Hoenn story, Team Magma’s leader Maxie guards the place where Groudon once slept. Unlike most Hoenn Champions, he has no side quest. He only wants to see that you are a true collector of legends.

  1. Go down the Cave of Origin. Enter it in Sootopolis City and go down to B4F.

  2. Talk to Maxie. He stands where Groudon used to be. If you have not caught enough legendaries yet, he tells you to come back with 10 of them.

The count is the number of Legendary-rarity Pokémon you have caught in total, so legendaries you have since moved to your PC still count.

Maxie picks one of these teams, all level 100:

Team Pokémon
1 Mega Camerupt Primal Groudon (Red Orb) Venusaur Salazzle Magcargo Aggron
2 Mega Camerupt Reshiram Scovillain Crobat Victini Mightyena
3 Torkoal Darmanitan Camerupt Victreebel Mega Charizard Y Galarian Weezing

Expect sun and strong Fire attacks. Water, Rock and Ground Pokémon that can take a hit do well.

Maxie gives the same rewards as the other weekly Champions. On Hard difficulty he can also drop Cameruptite. It is a one-time drop: once you have it, he will not drop it again. See Gyms, Elite Four and Champions.
