Maxie is not a Pokémon, but rather the leader of Team Magma, a villainous organization introduced in the Generation III Pokémon games, *Pokémon Ruby* and *Sapphire*, and later *Emerald*. His primary goal is to expand the landmass of the world, believing that this will lead to the advancement of humanity. He aims to achieve this by awakening the Legendary Pokémon Groudon. Maxie is typically depicted as a stern and intelligent individual, driven by his convictions, even if they lead to destructive consequences. His uniform is predominantly black with red accents, reflecting his team's color scheme and association with magma and the earth. In the anime, Maxie appears in various episodes, often clashing with Team Aqua leader Archie and the protagonists. His character arc in the games explores the dangers of environmental manipulation and the unforeseen consequences of tampering with powerful forces. Maxie's actions and philosophy highlight a recurring theme in the Pokémon world: the delicate balance between nature and human ambition. He is a significant antagonist, crucial to the plot of the Hoenn region games.
