Red Orb

Core series

• In Pokémon Sapphire , Team Aqua will steal the Red Orb from the summit of Mt. Pyre and use it to awaken Kyogre . However, as Team Aqua has the incorrect orb, they cannot use it to control the super-ancient Pokémon as they intended. After Kyogre is captured or defeated by the player , the player can return to the summit of Mt. Pyre to watch the Team Aqua Leader Archie return the orb to its proper place. Afterwards, the player returns the orb, and Archie departs. Team Aqua is not seen again after this.
• In Pokémon Emerald , the same events that happened in Ruby and Sapphire take place, only both Team Magma and Team Aqua appear and therefore both the Red Orb and the Blue Orb are stolen. However, the player does not obtain the Red Orb.
• In Pokémon SoulSilver , the Red Orb is given to the player by Mr. Pokémon after Red has been defeated and both the National Pokédex and a Kanto first partner Pokémon have been obtained from Professor Oak . After the orb has been received, the player can encounter Groudon at the Embedded Tower .
• In Pokémon Omega Ruby , Team Magma steals the Red Orb from the summit of Mt. Pyre and uses it to awaken Groudon . As Team Magma has the correct orb unlike in the Generation III games, they use it to awaken Groudon's true power by Primal Reversion . After leaving the Cave of Origin , Team Magma Leader Maxie gives the player the Red Orb that he had stolen.
• In Pokémon Alpha Sapphire , shortly after Team Aqua steals the Blue Orb from the summit of Mt. Pyre , the player is given the Red Orb and asked to reunite the pair. Later on at Sootopolis City , Wallace and Maxie explain that the Red Orb is capable of protecting the player within the Cave of Origin , reversing the process of Primal Reversion , and calming the awakened Kyogre . When the player reaches the depths of the cave, they equip the Aqua Suit and slot the Red Orb into it, creating a red barrier around themselves.
• In the Mega Dimension DLC of Pokémon Legends: Z-A , the Groudon found in Hyperspace Desolate Land holds a Red Orb, which activates during the second phase of Team MZ 's battle against it.
