Max Elixirs are highly valuable items that fully restore the PP (Power Points) of all moves for a single Pokémon. Unfortunately, Max Elixirs are very scarce. And there isn’t a consistent or reliable way to farm them aside from using the Pickup ability, which still relies heavily on luck.
This page details every way to obtain Max Elixirs in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire.
Non-Repeatable Methods
Location #1 (Omega Ruby) – Team Magma Hideout
| Prerequisites |
|---|

Step 1: Proceed directly through the main entrance of the Team Magma Hideout.

Step 2: Once you’ve entered the first room, make use of the warp tile in the room’s northwest corner.

Step 3: Walk by the Team Magma Grunts, and then proceed to the stairs located on the room’s right side.

Step 4: After heading down the stairs, navigate around the nearby barrier to use the warp tile located on the northwest corner of the room.

Step 5: Head to the right side of the library and pick up the Max Elixir.

Location #2 (Alpha Sapphire) – Team Aqua Hideout

Step 1: Proceed directly through the main entrance of the Team Aqua Hideout.

Step 2: Once you’ve entered the first room, make use of the warp tile in the room’s northeast corner.

Location #3 – Victory Road
| Prerequisites |
|---|
|
Step 1: Return to Victory Road and head inside, then use Surf and head north on the body of water to reach the next room.

Step 2: When you’ve reached the next room, disembark at the water’s edge and proceed north into the next room.

Step 3: After moving the boulder in the next room, go north up one flight of stairs. Then turn west until you reach an Ace Trainer (ignore the 2nd set of stairs).

Step 4: Go up this passageway and then climb up the nearest staircase.

Step 5: Cross the bridge to the west after climbing the stairs, and then descend the ladder.

Step 6: If you have a Pokémon with TM70 Flash then you can use it to light up this part of the cave.
But either way, you’ll need to use Strength to head a few paces down from the ladder & then push the boulder on the left into the corner.

Step 7: After pushing the first boulder, you’ll need to push the other boulder one space to the right.

Step 8: After pushing both boulders, continue along the path going south.
Eventually it will wrap around to the northeast side of the floor.

Step 9: You’ll eventually find a ladder leading back up to the first floor, so take this ladder once you reach it.

Step 10: Now back on the first floor, proceed north past the Ace Trainer and cross the bridge to the east.

Step 11: After crossing the wooden bridge, descend the ladder in the northeast corner of the area.

Step 12: Now follow the southern path and turn left and cross the bridge. Then pick up the Max Elixir at the end of the path.
