The Rocket Hideout (Japanese: ロケットだんアジト Team Rocket Hideout) is a four-floored underground complex beneath the Rocket Game Corner in Celadon City. It is a secret base built and used by Team Rocket to facilitate and administer their operations.

Access

The secret switch concealed behind a poster in the Game Corner

The Rocket Hideout is accessed by pressing a switch behind a poster in the Rocket Game Corner in Celadon City. A Team Rocket Grunt is guarding the poster in question when the player first approaches it. After being defeated, the Grunt retreats into the base, leaving the poster unguarded, and enabling the player to approach. Once the player activates a switch behind the poster, the stairs to the hideout will appear.

In Generation II, the Rocket Hideout is referred to when the player walks and selects the poster at the back of the Rocket Game Corner in Celadon City. The words, "Hey! Under this poster... There's nothing!" will appear, a reference to the original access point.

Features

This is the first time that the player encounters spinners, a special tile that, when stepped upon, will spin the player in the direction of the arrows until they hit a stopper. These are used on the second and third basement floors to create a complex maze.

Giovanni's Rocket Hideout office in Pokémon Origins

In Pokémon Origins

The Rocket Hideout made a brief appearance during the beginning of the Pokémon Origins episode File 3 - Giovanni, where Red was seen freeing some imprisoned Pokémon in there, as well as encountering Giovanni for the first time.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

The Rocket Hideout has appeared in Tauros the Tyrant and The Jynx Jinx in the Red, Green & Blue arc, where Red inflitrated it, disguised as a Team Rocket Grunt. The entrance to the Hideout was opened by pressing a switch behind a poster in the Rocket Game Corner. In the Hideout, there was a laboratory, in which Team Rocket was creating a monster using cells from Mew, intending it to be their ultimate fighting machine. Blaine was one of the scientists working on the project. The Hideout was presumably destroyed when the monster escaped soon after is completion.
