It is a secret base built and used by Team Rocket to facilitate and administer their operations.
==Access==
The Rocket Hideout is accessed by pressing a switch behind a poster in the Rocket Game Corner in Celadon City. A is guarding the poster in question when the 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 VII, the Grunt will only battle the player once has been kidnapped in Lavender Town.
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 spin tiles, a special type of tile that, when stepped on, will uncontrollably spin the player in the direction of the arrows until they hit a stop tile. These are used on the second and third basement floors to create a complex maze.

** If the player skips the Rocket Hideout using this method, it is still possible to enter this place at any point later and potentially break the normal gameplay sequence. For instance, once the player obtains the , Giovanni appears to disband the Team Rocket and permanently leave the current game as expected in normal gameplay. However, as long as the player has not obtained the Silph Scope, then Giovanni and the Team Rocket members still permanently remain in the Rocket Hideout as if the Team Rocket was never disbanded.
