Pokémon world locations

Marine Cave (Japanese: うみのどうくつ Marine Cave) is an underwater cave in Hoenn that only appears in Pokémon Emerald.

Unlike most other locations, the location of Marine Cave is not set at all; it can be determined by speaking with a man at Hoenn's Weather Institute, who will explain that one of four routes is under abnormal weather conditions. If the player does not reach Marine Cave fast enough, it will temporarily disappear and Terra Cave will appear. However, once Groudon is defeated/caught in Terra Cave, or if the player did not arrive there fast enough, Marine Cave will reappear and relocate. It appears only on water routes. In Pokémon Emerald, it is the only place where Kyogre can be caught. It will only appear once the player has entered the Hall of Fame, and it will disappear completely after Kyogre has been either caught or defeated.

Its counterpart is Terra Cave, and the two caves cannot appear at the same time. The player must defeat, catch, or leave the Legendary Pokémon alone long enough before the other cave will appear.

Special encounters

A Kyogre will appear in the back of the cave on the first visit. If run from, it respawns upon leaving the area.
