You will get the Aqua Suit (AS) or Magma Suit (OR) from your game’s respective Aqua/Magma team leader (Archie or Maxie) in Sootopolis City. This event is part of the main story, so this is an unmissable key item.

The Aqua/Magma Suit will allow you to enter the Cave of Origin and battle Kyogre or Groudon (depending on your version).

The Suit becomes available after Kyogre (AS) or Groudon (OR) awakens in the Seafloor Cavern.

So starting from Route 128, here’s where to go to get your special Suit:

Step 1: Once you exit the Seafloor Cavern, head north and use Surf.
