Maxie

Camerupt, the Delta Episode and Rainbow Rocket

His team is built on Mightyena, Golbat or Crobat, and Camerupt, which Mega Evolves in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. After Primal Groudon is defeated in Omega Ruby, Maxie hands over the Red Orb and leaves with Archie to start over. In the Delta Episode his former grunt Zinnia steals his Key Stone, and he entrusts the player with his Cameruptite. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon bring back an alternate-world Maxie as one of Team Rainbow Rocket's bosses.

Maxie on cards: Team Magma vs Team Aqua to Primal Clash

His first card is a Supporter in Team Magma vs Team Aqua (2004), drawn by Ken Sugimori. It puts a Pokémon with Team Magma in its name from your hand or discard pile onto the Bench as if it were a Basic, adding two damage counters if it is a Stage 2. Primal Clash (2015) brought Maxie's Hidden Ball Trick, playable only as the last card in your hand: it puts a Fighting Pokémon from the discard pile onto the Bench, then draws five cards. It comes as an Uncommon by Sugimori (#133) and an Ultra Rare by Hitoshi Ariga (#158).
