'''Team Magma''' (Japanese: '''{{j|マグマ{{tt|団|だん}}}}''' ''Magma-dan'', literally ''Magma Gang'') is one of two [[villainous teams]] found in the [[Hoenn]] region, alongside their rivals, [[Team Aqua]]. Team Magma's ultimate goal is to expand the amount of landmass in the world by awakening {{p|Groudon}}.

Generally, {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s have weaker Pokémon, with {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Poochyena}} (and {{p|Koffing}} in Omega Ruby) plentiful among them, however, they also use Pokémon of other types; typically they are {{type|Ground}} and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon such as {{p|Numel}} (and {{p|Baltoy}} in Emerald). The team is headed by [[Maxie]] and his two immediate subordinates [[Tabitha]] and [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]].

In Pokémon Omega Ruby, Team Magma's role in the story remains largely the same but their motivation has been significantly altered. While in the original versions of Ruby and Sapphire Team Magma saw a world with more landmass as idea for both Pokémon and humans, in Omega Ruby Team Magma wishes to put an end to the misguided ideal of coexistence and expand the land to give humanity more space on which to build and develop civilization. This puts them in direct opposition to Team Aqua, who in this version of the story believe that the sea must be expanded to wipe out human civilization so that Pokémon may live without interference. Their schemes to obtain the Devon Goods, Meteorite, and [[Captain Stern]]'s submarine are still intact, but are altered to the purpose of awakening Groudon and triggering its [[Primal Reversion]] via the [[Red Orb]]. Upon awakening it however, the legendary's {{a|Desolate Land}} ability nearly parches the entirety of Hoenn until the player successfully captures, or defeats Primal Groudon. The ensuing flow of energy from the Cave of Origin leads to the two leaders, feeling remorseful for enforcing their will on nature at the risk of everything, resolving to start over the foundations their teams in friendship.

Post-game, a division led by a distraught [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] seeks to revive Project AZOTH for the renewal of Maxie's dream, in the wake of his recent guilt and demeanor. Upon their failure and defeat in Mossdeep's Space Center, Courtney is summoned back to the Magma Hideout in Lilycove. Upon her tearful apology, a surprised Maxie agrees to forgive her actions on one condition: that she forgive his aloofness and ruthlessness, and start over in Team Magma's mission with him. From this point on, rather than disbanding, Team Magma assumes a friendlier role working to rework their humanitarian ambitions for Hoenn, with the player welcome to visit the team in their hideout at any given time.

Like in the games, they use both {{type|Dark}} and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, even those not necessarily in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn Pokédex]]. Brodie's team includes a {{p|Ditto}}, complimenting his nature. Team Magma seems to be very much organized; respect is always shown to those of higher rank, while Maxie's orders are always heeded.
