Team Aqua appears only in the Hoenn-based games {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, where they scheme to bring Kyogre out of its slumber.

Generally, {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}s have weaker Pokémon, with {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Carvanha}} plentiful among them, however, they also use Pokémon of other types; typically they are {{type2|Water}}s. The team is headed by [[Archie]] and his two immediate subordinates [[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]] and [[Shelly]].

Though they are first encountered early in the game, their first major plot is to use a [[Meteorite]] to cause [[Mt. Chimney]] to flood and create more ocean. When this is thwarted by the {{player}}, they set themselves up in [[Lilycove City]]'s cove, planning their next moves. Their final action in the storyline is to steal a submarine from {{ci|Slateport}} harbor, which they use to travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Red Orb}}, where Kyogre awaits. Kyogre, however, is not able to be controlled, and leaves for the [[Cave of Origin]] in [[Sootopolis City]] where it must be captured by the player or defeated.

Team Aqua's deeds are partly the same in {{game|Emerald}} as they are in Ruby and Sapphire, with them stealing the sub to obtain Kyogre. After awakening Kyogre and seeing Kyogre and Groudon clash together, both Team Magma's Maxie and Team Aqua's Archie realize what they've done has caused a terrible disaster, and make peace with one another after Groudon and Kyogre have been taken care of by Rayquaza.

Team Aqua is introduced in ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]'' where a member of the team infiltrated the [[Devon Corporation]] and stole two capsules of "Creation Fluid". His plans were stopped by Team Rocket's Jessie and James, who intended to steal the same thing, all parties involved not realizing that "Creation Fluid" was nothing more than water. In ''[[AG018|On a Wingull and a Prayer!]]'', this same member takes a boat of [[Mr. Briney]]'s to escape from the police and heads for open ocean, where a Team Aqua submarine rescues him. This particular grunt is voiced by [[Darren Dunstan]] in English.

Team Aqua later appears in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme]]'' and ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''.  Their final, and most prominent appearance is in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', when they and Team Magma begin the battle between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}.

Team Aqua's goal was to create more sea in the Hoenn region, making them bitter enemies of Team Magma, whose goal it was to expand the amount of land in Hoenn. In order to accomplish their goal, the decided to capture Kyogre, a legendary water Pokémon that had been sleeping in the Cave of Origin for centuries after a massive collision with the legendary {{p|Groudon}}. After Team Aqua's plans were thwarted by {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}, Archie went insane because he had bonded with the orbs, trying to destroy everything in his way.  

Team Aqua also had an influence on the media, as Archie was the director of Hoenn TV. This way, they could cover up their own schemes while airing anti-Team Magma propaganda.

Much like Team Rocket, Team Aqua appears in the TCG in a (partly) self-named set, {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}}. Their ambitions and specialties here reflect the other media they appear in, and as well, their status as an evil force is recognized, not with {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}, but with dual-typed Pokémon.

The following TCG cards have some connection to Team Aqua:
