Item from Pokémon Adventures by Hidenori Kusaka & Satoshi Yamamoto
An ancient artifact that controls Groudon — Team Magma's Maxie used it to awaken the Continent Pokémon, triggering devastating drought and seismic activity across Hoenn.
The Red Orb is one of two ancient artifacts created to control Hoenn's primordial Pokémon. When Maxie used it at the Seafloor Cavern, the Red Orb resonated with Groudon, forcibly awakening the Continent Pokémon and beginning the drought crisis that nearly destroyed Hoenn. The orb's power is immense but dangerous — it can overwhelm its user, merging their will with Groudon's primal rage.
A smooth, red gemstone that glows with inner fire. Fits in a palm but radiates ancient power. Becomes blindingly bright when activating Groudon's primal energy.
