Team Magma's primary goal is to expand the landmass of the world using the power of the Legendary Pokémon Groudon, believing that land is the ideal environment for Pokémon. Maxie is typically depicted as a calculating and intelligent individual, often wearing a distinctive red suit and glasses. He first appeared in the Generation III Pokémon games, Ruby and Sapphire, released in 2002 for the Game Boy Advance. His role in the anime often mirrors his game counterpart, serving as an antagonist who clashes with Team Aqua's leader, Archie. Maxie's presence in the Pokémon universe is significant as he represents one of the major ideological conflicts regarding environmental balance within the Pokémon world, highlighting themes of human intervention and the consequences of altering nature. His character design and motivations have made him a memorable figure among fans of the franchise, embodying the drive and ambition of those who seek to reshape the world according to their ideals.
