Introduction ############################################################################### Thank you for choosing to read my FAQ/Walkthrough for Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness. I hope this guide gives you some assistance in completing this game. I've written a comprehensive Walkthrough, Game Overview, and much more. Beware of the spoilers, though. Pokemon XD is the second and, as of January 2016, most recent Pokemon RPG for a home console. It is the sequel to Pokemon Colosseum. Five years ago, in Colosseum, a criminal organisation named Cipher used a group called Team Snagem to round up Pokemon. Cipher used artifical means to close the hearts of captured Pokemon and turned them into vicious fighting machines dubbed Shadow Pokemon. Cipher planned to take over the world by arming their Trainers with the Shadow Pokemon, starting with the Orre Region. However, Cipher's plan was thwarted by a young man (Wes) who quit Team Snagem, and by a girl (Rui) who had a special ability to identify Shadow Pokemon. Wes disbanded the organisation by defeating its leader Evice at Realgam Tower, but now it seems they're back. It's up to you to defeat Cipher once again and restore peace to Orre. The changes made since the first game are as follows: *Your Starter Pokemon is a L5 Eevee instead of a L25 Espeon and L26 Umbreon. *Gameplay is less challenging until the post-game in Story Mode. *Save function has been removed from PCs, as you can save anywhere now. *There are now 8 PC boxes. *Shadow Pokemon go into Reverse Mode rather than Hyper Mode. *Shadow Pokemon can't be put in the Day Care. *Battle Mode has been dropped, though the Orre Colosseum has been incorporated into the post-game Story Mode. *Calling a non-Shadow Pokemon raises its accuracy if it's not asleep. *Pyrite Cave and The Under have been sealed off. *Pyrite Building has been turned into ONBS. *A Purify Chamber has been added. *Shadow Pokemon now learn Special Moves via purification. *Wild Pokemon, in-game trades, Battle Bingo and Battle Sims have been added. *Phenac Stadium has been closed. *Strategy Memo is automatically updated. *In Mt. Battle, you are no longer asked if you want to advance to the next zone. *Shadow Rush's power has dropped to 50 and no longer causes recoil damage. *There are now many different kinds of Shadow Moves. *There's now a Move Relearner. *Shadow Moves are now super effective against non-Shadow Pokemon but not very effective against Shadows. *There is now a '+' next to an opponent's Shadow Pokemon's level. *TMs 07 (Hail), 46 (Thief) and 37 (Sandstorm) are gone. *The books in the basement of the Phenac Pokemon Centre are now described as a Hoenn/Kanto region research. *Mt. Battle trainer levels now go up to Level 70 and trainers now use Legendary Pokemon. *Time Flutes are gone. *Poke Balls can now be brought at most Poke Marts. *There are now stricter conditions for trading with the GBA games. *Areas 1-3 of Mt. Battle are available from the start. *You no longer have a travelling companion for most of the game. *The Orre Region map got a makeover, and is now viewed from a 3D prespective rather than a top-down look. ############################################################################### 2.

Game Overview ############################################################################### This section overviews everything you should know prior to starting this game. I won't be giving much detail on the gameplay of XD as, like Colosseum, it has similar mechanics to the core Gen III games and there is a lot of good information in the Wikipedia article Gameplay of Pokemon (link below). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gameplay_of_Pok%C3%A9mon Note1: Like Colosseum, most fights in this game are Double Battles. Note2: The Run option is replaced with the Call option. Note3: Items are transferred to your PC if there's no space for them in your inventory. =============================================================================== 3.01 - GAME CONTROLS =============================================================================== +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | FIELD SCREEN | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ Control Stick: Move your character/Move cursor/Select option. +Control Pad: Same as Control Stick.

Z: Switch screen to PC or Party Pokemon. =============================================================================== 3.02 - SHADOW POKEMON =============================================================================== Cipher has used artifical means to close the hearts of captured Pokemon and turn them into vicious fighting machines dubbed "Shadow Pokemon." A Shadow Pokemon, when encountered, is generated in the same way that a wild Pokemon is generated in the Generation III games, with its personality value and individual values generated together and no effort values. Shadow Pokemon don't have a set Nature or a set gender, but once encountered, the personality value, Nature and IVs are saved to the memory for the Shadow Monitor to be able to keep track of their exact status and location. This means that once a Shadow Pokemon is encountered for the first time, its Nature, IVs and gender will remain the same for the rest of the game. Source: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Shadow_Pok%C3%A9mon =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Restrictions =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= You can't do any of the following with a Shadow Pokemon until it is purified: *Level it up. *Evolve it. *Use a Rare Candy on it. *Change the order of its moves. *Delete its moves. *Give it a nickname. *Trade it. *Enter it in battles at Orre Colosseum. *Leave it at the Agate Day Care. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Purification =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The stages of Purification are as follows: 0% Purified - The door to the Pokemon's heart is tightly shut. Its nature is unknown. This is the state at which a Shadow Pokemon is snagged. 20% Purified - The door to the Pokemon's heart is opening up. It gains a Regular Move. 40% Purified - The door to the Pokemon's heart is opening wider. Its nature is revealed. 60% Purified - The door to the Pokemon's heart is nearly open. Its gains another Regular Move. 80% Purified - The door to the Pokemon's heart is almost fully open. It will go into Reverse Mode more often. 100% Purified - The door to the Pokemon's heart is about to open. Undo the final lock through a Purification Ritual at the Relic Stone in Agate Village or at the Purify Chamber in HQ Lab. The actions that can slowly open the door to a Pokemon's heart are as follows: *Walking with a Shadow Pokemon. *Sending a Shadow Pokemon into battle. *Calling a Shadow Pokemon to its senses from Reverse Mode. *Using a Cologne Scent on a Shadow Pokemon. *Leaving a Shadow Pokemon with Regular Pokemon in a Set of the Purify Chamber. Once a Pokemon is purified, any Shadow Moves are replaced with Regular Moves. It gains any Experience and Effort Values that it has earned in battles prior to the purification meaning that it may gain one or more levels. The Pokemon receives a special Ribbon for "clearing all difficulties". Source: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Purification =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Shadow Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Shadow Moves are special moves that are used only by Shadow Pokemon. If a Regular Pokemon is hit by a Shadow Move, it will sustain heavy damage. Conversely, if a Shadow Move hits a Shadow Pokemon, it will not be very effective. Also, Shadow Moves don't use any Power Points (PP), so they can be used over and over again without limit. Interestingly enough, Shadow attacks can be either physical or special. All the Shadow Moves in the game are listed below in alphabetical order. Shadow Blast ------------ Description: A wicked blade of air formed using a shadowy aura. Power: 80 Accuracy: 100 Shadow Blitz ------------ Description: A Pokemon throws this tackle while casting a shadowy aura. Power: 40 Accuracy: 100 Shadow Bolt ----------- Description: A shadowy thunder attack that may paralyze. Power: 75 Accuracy: 100 Shadow Break ------------ Description: A shattering ram attack with a shadowy aura. Power: 75 Accuracy: 100 Shadow Chill ------------ Description: A shadowy ice attack that may cause freezing. Power: 75 Accuracy: 100 Shadow Down ----------- Description: A shadowy aura sharply cuts the foe's defence. Power: --- Accuracy: 100 Shadow End ---------- Description: A shadowy ram attack that also rebounds on the user. Power: 120 Accuracy: 60 Shadow Fire ----------- Description: A shadowy fireball attack that may inflict a burn. Power: 75 Accuracy: 100 Shadow Half ----------- Description: A shadowy aura's energy cuts everyone's HP by half. The user must re-charge after use. Power: --- Accuracy: 100 Shadow Hold ----------- Description: A shadowy aura descends to prevent fleeing. Power: --- Accuracy: 80 Shadow Mist ----------- Description: A shadowy aura sharply cuts the foe's evasiveness. Power: --- Accuracy: 100 Shadow Panic ------------ Description: A shadowy aura emanates to cause confusion. Power: --- Accuracy: 60 Shadow Rave ----------- Description: A shadowy aura in the ground is used to launch spikes at both opponents. Power: 70 Accuracy: 100 Shadow Rush ----------- Description: A Pokemon executes a tackle while exuding a shadowy aura. Power: 55 Accuracy: 100 Shadow Shed ----------- Description: A shadowy aura eliminates Reflect and similar moves. Power: --- Accuracy: 100 Shadow Storm ------------ Description: A shadowy aura is used to whip up a vicious tornado at both opponents. Power: 95 Accuracy: 100 Shadow Sky ---------- Description: Darkness slowly hurts all non-Shadow Pokemon for 5 turns. Power: --- Accuracy: 100 Shadow Wave ----------- Description: Shadowy aura waves are loosed to inflict damage. Power: 50 Accuracy: 100 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Reverse Mode =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A Shadow Pokemon will occasionally go out of control if its emotions run wild. This is referred to as "Reverse Mode". When a Shadow Pokemon is undergoing Purification, its heart slowly opens as it gradually prepares to return to its natural state. However, its shadowy aura doesn't go away until the Purification is complete. The Shadow Pokemon sometimes snaps under its influence. A Shadow Pokemon is more likely to go into Reverse Mode the closer it is to full Purification. When a Shadow Pokemon is in Reverse Mode, it will take damage from its own attacks, and it won't accept any item except a Cologne Scent. You can make it come to its senses by Calling it or giving it a Cologne Massage. =============================================================================== 3.03 - HINTS AND TIPS =============================================================================== *I advise saving your game often. This game doesn't automatically save your progress, so you must save to record it. Unlike Pokemon Colosseum, you can save your progress anywhere. If you lose a battle, you can re-load your last save to get your money back. *I advise healing your Pokemon often at a Pokemon Centre/Healing Machine. I also recommend buying some healing items such as Revives, Super Potions and Full Heals before entering a dungeon. *Make sure you have 20-30 balls with you before entering a dungeon full of Shadow Pokemon if you want to snag them all. If you start to run low on balls, you can always leave and get some more, though. *When you enter a Cipher facility, you'll be ambushed by a lot of Cipher Peons. These Peons will jump down from above to battle you, so watch out. Always save your game in case you forget that they're waiting for you. After you defeat them, they won't challenge you again, so you can leave the Cipher facility and heal your Pokemon if you want to. *If you want to catch a Pokemon, you'll have to weaken it first. Don't use super effective or strong moves against it, since you'll probably knock it out by accident. Although Burn/Poison-related moves, Hail or Sandstorm can slowly weaken a Pokemon, they might cause it to faint before a ball catches it successfully, so be cautious. Your best bet is to use not very effective or weak moves to bring the Pokemon's HP down to the red/yellow zone. Then, use moves like Thunder Wave and Sleep Powder to inflict a status condition and you should be able to catch it. If not, keep throwing balls until you do. There is a chance of catching a Pokemon with full HP and no status condition, though, since I did this with a Lapras once. *Hydro Pump, Fire Blast, Thunder and Blizzard pack quite a punch. If you don't mind their 70-85% accuracy and low PP (Thunder's accuracy becomes 100% if Rain Dance is in play, though), I'd recommend using them. The latter three can be brought as TMs at Realgam Tower. *Hidden Power may be good depending on its type and power. It can be brought as a TM at Realgam Tower. *I advise training your party of Pokemon at locations like Mt. Battle and Pyrite Colosseum for a bit every now and then to raise their levels to have an easier time against your opponents later on. You can also challenge Re-Match Trainers over and over again. *I recommend using a variety of types such as Hondour, Mareep and Spheal, so you'll have a balanced party. Some Pokemon in this game are Dual-Types and are good for covering a lot of types, since you can have up to 12 different types are on your team instead of just six. The second type can sometimes counter what would normally be a Super Effective move. For example, an Electric-type attack on an Altaria is neutralized by its primary Dragon-type. *If you give a slow Pokemon (eg. Ampharos) a Quick Claw, it may attack first. *A purified Shadow Pokemon might not know certain moves from its learnset, though you can ask the Move Relearner at Mt. Battle to teach them. *Although Shadow Moves are Super Effective against Regular Pokemon, if you use your own Shadow Pokemon against your opponent's, Shadow Moves will not be very effective. If your Shadow Pokemon know non-Shadow Moves, you will have an advantage over them. *When you are progressing through the game, try to Snag all the Shadow Pokemon that you encounter. Although you can get most of them from Wanderer Miror B. (you have unlimited chances to get the others from their Trainers), he can only have 1-2 random Shadow Pokemon in his team at a time, so it will take a long time to acquire all 83 if you start trying to Snag them at the end. If you knock out a Shadow Pokemon accidentally, you can re-load your last save to get another chance to Snag it without having to wait for Miror B. to show up with it. *Towards the end of the game, Trainers will have more than 1 Shadow Pokemon in their teams. To counter this, I advise leaving one of your opponent's Regular Pokemon out to avoid having to face 2 Shadow Pokemon at a time. *Shadow Arbok, Hitmonlee, Electabuzz and Swellow all know Shadow Half, a move which halves the HP of all Pokemon in battle. It is useful for weakening Shadow Pokemon with ease. When trying to Snag Arbok, Hitmonlee, Electabuzz and Swellow, Shadow Half may make them weak enough to be caught. Be cautious, as you may inadvertently knock them out if, after using Shadow Half, any attack would faint them. False Swipe is a good alternative. *In addition to utilizing type advantages, physical moves work well against Pokemon with low Def and special moves are good against Pokemon with low Sp Def. For example, Alakazam has a low Def, so you can do major damage to it with attacks such as Body Slam and Earthquake. *Awakenings are useless in this game, as you can just Call your Pokemon back from sleep. *If you're low on money, I recommend battling the Re-Match Trainers or participating in Pyrite/Realgam Colosseum over and over again. Also, try giving one of your Pokemon an Amulet Coin to hold. *Reflect/Light Screen are good for reducing the amount of physical/special damage you take. Espeon and Ampharos work well as a team in this game with the former using Reflect and the latter using Light Screen. *Helping Hand is good for boosting an ally's move a bit. It may not seem like much, but it can make a difference in some battles. *Houndoom is a good Sunnybeamer, especially for handling Water dual types that are unaffected by Electric attacks such as Quagsire and Lanturn. *Protect is handy sometimes, especially if used with Earthquake. *A Leftovers is best given to a bulky Pokemon (eg. Walrein or Vaporeon). *Never miss attacks such as Aerial Ace and Shock Wave are handy against Pokemon that use Double Team often. ############################################################################### 4. Walkthrough ############################################################################### When you start a new game, you'll be prompted to name your character. You can choose one of the default names or make up your own. If you want to continue a previous game, select Continue and you'll appear at your last save point. NOTE1: As this guide is primarily a walkthrough, I won't be giving in-depth info on stuff such as trainer battles, maps and items. Just the ones I encounter or find. NOTE2: You'll be asked a variety of questions as you progress through the game. Many of these are inconsequential and won't affect the progression of the plot. If you get them wrong, another character will put you right, though. =============================================================================== 4.01 - POKEMON HQ LAB =============================================================================== After the opening movie ends, you find yourself in battle with a Trainer. Use your Salamence's Earthquake once or twice to knock out the enemy Metagross. It transpires that you were in a Battle Sim and a Level 10 Eevee is your real Pokemon. Go left and talk with Lily and Prof. Krane. Lily (your mother) asks you to find your sister Jovi. Krane advises that you check out the P*DA in your room. "PDA" stands for Pokemon Digital Assistant and can be used for e-mail, among other things. Explore the Pokemon HQ Lab and learn the layout of the building. Watch the television on the second floor to discover that authorities have failed to find any traces of the cargo ship S.S. Libra since its sudden disappearance off the coast of Gateon Port. When you're finished examining objects and talking to civilians, go to your room and grab a P*DA from the table. While you're there, you can also take 3 Potions from the chest nearby. You can obtain Battle CD 33 once you've progressed through the game and liberated Phenac City. When you try to leave your room, you'll recieve an e-mail from Prof. Krane. He suggests that you talk to Adon about Jovi, so go back to the second floor and speak with him. If you can't find him, check underneath the tables in the bottom-left corner of the room where the television is. Adon thinks that Jovi may have gone off to Dr. Kaminko's manor to visit her friend Chobin. It's a big, weird house southeast of HQ Lab. POKEMON HQ LAB (Exterior) -------------- *Supertrainer Alfred: L5 Sentret You can challenge Supertrainer Afred outside to practice battling. Your Level 10 Eevee's moveset is Tackle, Bite, Tail Whip, and Sand-Attack, so Afred's Level 5 Sentret should be easy to defeat. Use Tackle/Bite to take it down after two turns. Travel to Dr. Kaminko's House. =============================================================================== 4.02 - DR. KAMINKO'S HOUSE =============================================================================== KAMINKO'S HOUSE (Exterior) --------------- *Kaminko Aide Chobin: L5 Sunkern When you arrive outside Dr. Kaminko's House, approach the building and you'll be confronted by Kaminko's assistant Chobin. He mistakes you for a burglar and battles you. Like your battle with Afred, this fight is fairly easy. Upon winning, Chobin realises that you're not a burglar and apologises for coming to the wrong conclusion. Jovi appears and asks if you got lost. Enter the manor and speak with Jovi. You can obtain Battle CDs 49 and 50 here after destroying the Cipher Key Lair. After Jovi "joins" your party, leave and you'll receive an e-mail from Prof. Krane. He needs your help with something, so go back to HQ Lab. As you return to HQ, Jovi "leaves" your party, and Lily advises that you see Prof. Krane immediately. Krane isn't in the Lab for some reason, so head upstairs and speak with a man wearing a white hat and blue shirt in the Director's Office. It seems Krane went downstairs a little while ago, so return to the first floor and talk to him. It seems the scientists have finished completing their latest invention, the Snag Machine. Shadow Pokemon are victims of criminals who use them for misdeeds. The most effective means of taking such Pokemon from criminals is to use the Snag Machine developed by Cipher five years ago. It is an unforgiveable act among Trainers to steal another Trainer's Pokemon, but there is no other way to save the Shadow Pokemon. The Aura Reader's development made it possible to create a workable new Snag Machine. The Aura Reader can be made to sound a warning and prevent the Snag Machine from working if a regular, non-Shadow Pokemon is targeted. After you equip the Snag Machine, Aidan will add a Shadow Monitor to your P*DA. It lets you check data on all the Shadow Pokemon you've encountered. Aidan also gives you 5 Poke Balls. Suddenly, some strange men come barging in and kidnap Prof. Krane off-screen. They're members of Cipher, the criminal organisation from Pokemon Colosseum. POKEMON HQ LAB (Exterior) -------------- Spy Naps: L11+ Teddiursa (S) Head outside and Naps will start a battle. When he sends out his Teddiursa, Krane identifies it as a Shadow Pokemon. Simply throw a Poke Ball to Snag it. However, in later battles, you'll have to weaken a Shadow Pokemon if you want to Snag it. Undeterred, the villains make their getaway with Prof. Krane in a futuristic car. Despite the kidnapping of Krane, Lily makes the decision to continue working on completing the Purify Chamber. Talk to her upstairs and she'll ask you to do an errand for her in Gateon Port. She ordered a Machine Part for the Purify Chamber from the Parts Shop. Jovi volunteers to accompany you, so she "joins" your party again. =============================================================================== 4.03 - GATEON PORT =============================================================================== As you explore Gateon Port, Jovi spots the Parts Shop just ahead and runs towards it, only to accidentally bump into a vicious bully named Zook. Zook complains that Jovi has messed up his hair, and threatens to set his Shadow Zangoose on her. He then notices you and decides to attack you instead. Fortunately, Zook is interrupted by Mr. Verich and his bodyguards. One of the bodyguards, Mystery Man Ardos, orders his Alakazam to attack Zook's Zangoose, defeating it instantly. When Mr. Verich and his bodyguards leave the scene, head left to reach the Parts Shop. On your way there, you'll meet Emili (Jovi's friend) and her mother Acri. Enter the Parts Shop and speak with the sailor inside. He's minding the shop for a bit while Perr is off fixing the rotating bridges. Listen to his tale and he'll let you have one of five Eeveelution items so you can evolve your Eevee into a Espeon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Umbreon or Flareon! A Water Stone evolves Eevee into a Vaporeon, Thunderstone Jolteon, Fire Stone Flareon, Moon Shard Umbreon, and Sun Shard Espeon. You can evolve Eevee into Vaporeon, Jolteon or Flareon instantly by using the Stones, but Eevee will only evolve into Umbreon or Espeon when it's happy. Fortunately, your Eevee starts with max happiness, so it will evolve when it gains a level. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ EEVEELUTIONS ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | POKEMON | TYPE | STRENGTH | WEAKNESS | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Vaporeon | Water | Fire, Ground, Rock | Grass, Electric | | Jolteon | Electric | Water, Flying | Ground | | Flareon | Fire | Grass, Bug, Steel | Water, Rock, Ground | | Umbreon | Dark | Psychic, Ghost | Fighting, Bug | | Espeon | Psychic | Fighting, Poison | Bug, Ghost, Dark | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Analysis -------- Espeon has high Sp Atk/Spd and its notable level-up moves are Confusion, Swift, Psybeam, Psychic and Morning Sun. Espeon's Psychic-type attacks can deal neutral damage against most enemy Pokemon and there aren't a lot of strong Bug, Ghost and Dark types in this game. It's also strong against Fighting and Poison types (common types). Thanks to its amazing Sp Atk, Espeon's Bite can take out most Psychics and Ghosts with ease. Flareon is a difficult Pokemon to use, as its level-up movepool is poor, though it has an OK enough Atk to cause decent damage with Bite and Flamethrower. You can teach Flareon the TMs Iron Tail and Shadow Ball to take advantage of its high Atk (although the former is somewhat inaccurate). Flareon's notable level -up moves are only Ember, Quick Attack and Flamethrower (and it won't get the latter until Level 52), but you can teach it the TMs Fire Blast or Flamethrower. Its low Spd is another disadvantage, though Quick Attack can get around it and is actually quite good, since it runs off Flareon's huge Atk. Jolteon has high Spd/Sp Atk and its notable level-up moves are Thundershock, Double Kick, Pin Missile and Thunder Wave (although they are mostly weak and run off its low Atk). You can use Jolteon to outrun most opponents and paralyze them with Thunder Wave. You can also teach it the TMs Thunder, Thunderbolt and/or Shock Wave to take advantage of its high Sp Atk. Vaporeon has high HP/Sp Atk and its notable level-up moves are Water Gun, Aurora Beam, Haze, Acid Armor and Hydro Pump. You can teach Vaporeon the TMs Water Pulse, Blizzard and Ice Beam. It's a bulky Pokemon that can survive a few super effective hits and still work well as an attacker. It has low Spd, though. As a defensive Pokemon, Umbreon has high Sp Def/Def and HP, but its Sp Atk/Atk and Spd are low. Umbreon's notable level-up moves are Pursuit, Confuse Ray, Faint Attack, Mean Look and Moonlight. Doesn't really need TMs to be useful, though Taunt, Torment and Snatch are recommended. It's a great annoyer but not a good attacker. It's best used as support for your other party members. Aside from Umbreon, the Eevee evolutions have average Sp Def. With the exception of Vaporeon and Umbreon, they also have low HP and Def. If you want an easy game, I suggest choosing Espeon. If you want a normal game, I recommend choosing Jolteon, Vaporeon or Umbreon. If you want a hard game, I advise choosing Flareon. Although you can only choose one Eevee Evolution, you can catch Pokemon, such as Houndour (Dark/Fire), Mareep (Electric), Spheal (Ice/Water) and Ralts (Psychic) as alternatives to the others later on. Whatever your choice, keep Bite around, as it is super effective against Psychics and Ghosts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Once you've taken an Eeveelution item, exit the Parts Shop and go over to the rotating bridges to find Perr, who has just finished fixing them. Follow him back to his shop and he'll give you the Machine Part you need. Although you can now go back to the Pokemon HQ, I recommend battling the Trainers here and snagging a few Shadow Pokemon first so you'll then have 4 Pokemon on your team (use the rotating bridges to move around). GATEON PORT ----------- *Sailor Bost: L6 Whismur, L6 Marill *Casual Guy Cyle: L6 Taillow, L10+ Ledyba (S) *Bodybuilder Kilen: L6 Zubat, L10+ Poochyena (S) *Navigator Berk: L6 Wingull, L6 Lotad At the Lighthouse, you can obtain 1 Potion, 3 Poke Balls and 1 Awakening. If you defeat Sailor Bost in a battle, he'll give you TM45. Now, go back to the Pokemon HQ and speak with Lily. When you hand over the Machine Part to her, she'll admit that she needs more time to finish completing the Purify Chamber. Fortunately, there is another way to Purify your Shadow Pokemon. Lily reveals that the mysterious Relic Stone in Agate Village can Purify Shadow Pokemon, so let's go there. =============================================================================== 4.04 - AGATE VILLAGE =============================================================================== When you arrive in Agate Village, grab the Poke Ball from the chest and fight the Trainers. Ledyba is good here. AGATE VILLAGE ------------- *Fun Old Man Clerr: L7 Oddish, L7 Machop *Cooltrainer Cida: L7 Igglypuff, L7 Azurill *Rider Hebort: L6 Wurmple, L7 Silcoon *Matron Belish: L7 Poochyena, L7 Nincada *Bodybuilder Dosk: L7 Trogue, L8 Grimer, L8 Zubat You can find Belish behind Eagun's house. It's a bit confusing, but there is a hidden slope behind it that leads to her. If you defeat her, she'll give you TM09. Go to Eagun's house (the tree-shaped house) and speak with Beluh (Eagun's wife). Eagun arrives on the scene and permits you to enter the Relic Stone Cave. RELIC CAVE ---------- *Cooltrainer Corps: L8 Zigzagoon, L8 Numel *Supertrainer Jols: L8 Snubbull, L8 Corphish, L8 Lotad *Matron Ladi: L8 Cacnea, L8 Slugma *Fun Old Man Cron: L9 Horsea, L9 Abra, L9 Shroomish When you beat Fun Old Man Cron, he'll give you the Cologne Case as a reward. The Case holds all the Scents that you purchase from Agate Village's Poke Mart. Scents can be used on Shadow Pokemon to help Purify them, but the Purify Chamber (when it's finally completed) is much better for Purification. After defeating all the Trainers, you can find Myth Trainer Eagun on the cave's other side. He immediately challenges you to a battle. MY PARTY _______________ | POKEMON | +---------------+ | L14 Espeon | | L11 Teddiursa | | L10 Ledyba | | L10 Poochyena | +---------------+ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | BOSS BATTLE: MYTH TRAINER EAGUN | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ ________________________________________________ | POKEMON | TYPE | ------------------------------------------------- | L12 Pikachu | Electric | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes and Strategy ------------------ Be wary of Pikachu's Thunderbolt, as it can take out Ledyba in one hit and cause major damage to your other Pokemon, too. Try using Teddiursa's Lick to paralyze Pikachu. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After the battle, Eagun suggests that you use the power of the Relic Stone to completely open the hearts of Shadow Pokemon. Go up to the Relic Stone and select a Shadow Pokemon in your party to Purify. When you appear in Eagun's house, he will suggest asking his friend Vander for help in finding Professor Krane. Vander claims to have seen sinister characters out in the desert where few people dare to tread. Perhaps they're the same people who kidnapped the Professor? Eagun adds Vander's location, Mt. Battle, to the map. After Eagun takes note of your P*DA number, go to Mt. Battle. You can obtain Battle CD 14 from Wobbuffet after the Snag Machine is stolen. =============================================================================== 4.05 - MT. BATTLE =============================================================================== When you arrive at Mt. Battle, Mystery Man Eldes will speak with you. Eldes is one of Mr. Verich's bodyguards that you met earlier at Gateon Port. Eldes informs you that he trained at Mt. Battle. As a result, he attained his bodyguard status, but he is now questioning his motive for gaining power. As Eldes leaves, remember that this isn't the first time you've seen him and it won't be the last. Enter the building and speak with the receptionist. The Areas of Mt. Battle are closed for the moment, but she grants you permission to see Vander on Area 1. Fortunately, you only have to defeat 3 Trainers to reach him this time. Before you enter Area 1, speak with the Move Deleter and the Move Relearner in the lobby. Move Deleter can delete any moves your Pokemon have learned free of charge. Move Relearner can allow your Pokemon to relearn moves it has forgotten, but you must pay 1000 Poke Coupons for this service and the Pokemon must not know more than three moves. Area 1 ------ *Beauty Miru: L9 Wurmple, L9 Wingull *Casual Dude Cridel: L9 Corphish, L10 Swablu *Cooltrainer Bardo: L10 Doduo, L10 Spoink After beating the above Trainers, speak with Vander. He reveals there is a Cipher research facility in the desert south of Mt. Battle. It's been there since the Shadow Pokemon incident. Now that you've talked to Vander, Mt. Battle will re-open and you can come back here anytime to train. As you leave Mt. Battle, you'll recieve an e-mail from Eagun. He informs you that Poke Balls are now on sale in Agate Village's Poke Mart. Sweet! =============================================================================== 4.06 - CIPHER LAB =============================================================================== Outside ------- *Cipher Peon Resix: L14 Slugma, L17+ Houndour (S) *Cipher Peon Blusix: L11 Horsea, L12 Goldeen, L17+ Spheal (S) *Cipher Peon Yellosix: L12 Electrike, L11 Chinchou, L17+ Mareep (S) *Cipher Peon Browsix: L14 Hoothoot, L17+ Baltoy (S) *Cipher Peon Purpsix: L10 Koffing, L11 Grimer, L10 Tentacool, L7+ Gulpin (S) *Cipher Peon Greesix: L9 Oddish, L9 Cacnea, L9 Shroomish, L8 Lotad, L9 Pineco, L17+ Seedot (S) Upon arriving at Mystery Facility (henceforth referred to as 'Cipher Lab'), you'll meet the Hexagon Brothers (Cipher Peons Resix, Blusix, Yellosix, Browsix, Purpsix and Greesix). You must defeat one of them before you can enter the building. It's best to fight the brothers that you aren't weak to first before tackling the others. I recommend replacing Teddiursa, Ledyba and Poochyena with Houndour, Mareep and Spheal, as they are stronger Pokemon and will make your party more balanced. Teddiursa is worth keeping in your party, though, even if you don't train it, as its Pickup ability gives it a chance of picking up an item after a battle if it doesn't already hold one. Now would be a good time to purify and train your newly acquired Shadow Pokemon at Mt. Battle. You should be strong enough to clear Areas 1-2. By completing Area 2 for the first time, you receive TM05. I advise teaching it to Vaporeon or Spheal. 1F -- *Cipher Peon Corla: L14 Duskull, L14 Skitty There's a Healing Machine here. Your path is blocked by an ambush from Cipher Peon Corla. Take the elevator down. B1 -- *Cipher Peon Javion: L13 Doduo, L14 Taillow The path here splits three ways. Go right into a hall guarded by Javion. Use the elevator at the end and head south to trigger a battle with Mesak. B3 -- *Cipher R&D Mesak: L13 Anorith, L13 Lileep *Cipher Peon Nexir: L14 Swinub, L13 Shuppet, L14+ Spinarak (S) Head left and then north to encounter Nexir. Grab the Revive and take the staircase up. B2 -- *Cipher Peon Solax: L15 Ralts, L16 Voltorb, L16 Bagon, L14+ Numel (S) Head south to eavesdrop on a conversation between Prof. Krane and Cipher Admin Lovrina. Lovrina wants to know about Krane's purification theory in order to power up her XD001, but he refuses to co-operate with her. Continue going south to be confronted by Solax. Then, board the elevator. B3 -- *Cipher Peon Digor: L17 Abra, L16 Machop, L16 Feebas, L16 Makuhita *Cipher Peon Crink: L14 Snorunt, L14 Barboach *Cipher R&D Morbit: L16 Spoink, L14 Lotad, L14 Staryu *Cipher Peon Cabol: L15+ Carvanha (S), L15 Magnemite, L15 Psyduck, L16 Remoraid *Cipher Peon Meda: L16 Natu, L14 Nincada, L15 Wailmer *Cipher R&D Elrok: L17 Swablu, L16 Wynaut, L15 Corsola *Cipher R&D Coffy: L14 Dustox, L17 Wingull, L15 Qwilfish, L16 Pineco There is an elevator beside the one you just existed. Board this elevator to find a Healing Machine. Try opening a chest to trigger a battle with Digor. Go back down the elevator and head west to encounter Crink. Go north to find Morbit. The path here splits to the north and south. Take the north path first to find Cabol and then go south to discover another two-way split. Head right first to meet Meda. Head right and then east to face Elrok, accompanied by his friend Coffy. Board the elevator. B1 -- *Cipher Peon Nopia: L15 Jigglypuff, L17 Chimecho, L16 Dunsparce *Cipher R&D Klots: L16 Snubbull, L16 Kecleon, L15+ Shroomish (S) *Cipher Peon Tekot: L13 Clamperl, L14 Corphish, L15 Zubat Walk towards the hall's end to encounter two scientists. Apparently, Master Greevil is making a personal tour of Cipher's facilities, but before you can hear anymore, you're spotted. Shroomish is worth snagging, as it will evolve into a great Grass/Fighting dual type called Breloom if trained well. To have an easier time against Klot's Kecleon, manipulate its Color Change ability by inflicting different type attacks on it. For example, use Confusion first and then Bite. Klots drops an ID Card as he runs off. Grab it and go through the sliding door to end up back at the first three-way split. This time, take the west path to find Tekot. Use the ID Card to open the elevator and you'll automatically head down to the next floor. B3 -- *Cipher Peon Naps: L18 Murkrow, L18 Rhyhorn, L18 Slakoth, L18 Beldum Walk up the staircase to meet Naps again. After Prof. Krane "joins" your party, grab the Leaf Stone and make your way to 1F. If you want to heal your Pokemon, now would be a good time to use the Healing Machine on B1, as there's a Boss Battle coming up. When you approach the exit, you'll be confronted by Lovrina. MY PARTY _______________ | POKEMON | +---------------+ | L25 Espeon | | L21 Flaaffy | | L21 Houndour | | L20 Spheal | +---------------+ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | BOSS BATTLE: CIPHER ADMIN LOVRINA | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ ________________________________________________ | POKEMON | TYPE | ------------------------------------------------- | L20 Luvdisc | Water | | L19 Beautifly | Bug/Flying | | L19 Roselia | Grass/Poison | | L18+ Delcatty (S) | Normal | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes and Strategy ------------------ Luvdisc's Water Gun won't do much damage as it runs off its weak Sp Atk, but it has high Spd, though. If Beautifly's Thief hits Flaaffy, the Static ability might paralyze it. Roselia is somewhat of an Annoyer, as it can use Leech Seed and Mega Drain to sap your HP. Its Pin Missile may cause some damage to your Grass, Psychic and Dark types. Luvdisc and Beautifly should go down soon enough to Flaaffy's Thundershock. Roselia can be taken down quickly with Espeon's Confusion or Houndour's Ember. Be wary of Delcatty's Shadow Rush, as it can cause major damage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lovrina drops a Data Rom as she retreats. Take it and board the elevator. You are returned to HQ Lab. You can obtain Battle CD 44 in the building opposite the Cipher Lab after destroying the Cipher Key Lair. When you return to the Pokemon HQ, you'll learn that the Purify Chamber has finally been completed. Professor Krane asks you to test out the machine, so walk onto it to be sent to the Purify Chamber screen. Now exit the screen. from this point in the game, you can access the Purify Chamber in the Pokemon HQ and at any PC. However, in order to Purify a Shadow Pokemon, you must go to the Pokemon HQ. Once captured, Shadow Pokemon must have their hearts reopened in a process called Purification so that they may return to their normal state. The best-known method of Purification is to have the Shadow Pokemon spend time with a Trainer and allow their hearts to gradually reopen. The Purify Chamber is a radical new concept that differs from the usual Purification method of having a Pokemon with a Trainer constantly. It represents a new approach that places Shadow Pokemon among regular Pokemon so that they become Purified naturally. Afterwards, Krane asks you to check on Datan upstairs, but he's not there. He's actually outside in the southeast of the HQ Lab. Talk to him to learn that the Data Rom is too heavily protected for him to decipher it. Fortunately, Krane is confident that Nett of ONBS in Pyrite Town will be able to access its contents. =============================================================================== 4.07 - PYRITE TOWN =============================================================================== PYRITE TOWN ----------- *Rogue Cail: L16 Ralts, L16 Snubbull, L16 Seedot, L16 Houndour *Worker Dobit: L16 Spoink, L16 Magnemite, L16 Numel *Chaser Finol: L16 Shuppet, L16 Ledyba, L16 Remoraid, L17 Togepi *Rider Dert: L16 Slugma, L16 Natu, L16 Oddish *Hunter Raling: L17 Zizagoon, L17 Whismur, L17 Aipom, L17 Dunsparce *Chaser Labet: L17 Swinub, L17 Bagon, L17 Murkrow, L17 Clamperl *Bodybuilder Doby: L17 Machop, L17 Tentacool As you explore Pyrite Town, you'll see a police officer interrogate a pair of punks named Trudly and Folly. Now might be a good time to challenge the Trainers around here and at Pyrite Colosseum. Check the Colosseums section for more information. You can heal your Pokemon at the Pyrite Hotel for $100. Cheap enough I guess, though you can always heal at the Pyrite Colosseum instead for free. At the Hotel, you can obtain 3 Great Balls, a Focus Band and a Paralyze Heal. Afterwards, enter the OBNS Building and watch the news show on the second floor. Then, talk to Secc in his office on the same floor. He is shocked to learn that Cipher was using its desert lab again and advises you to take the Data Rom to Nett straight away. There is a lost girl (Kandee) here. Reunite Kandee with her mother on the third floor to receive a Soothe Bell as thanks. Nett is in his office on the top floor. Detro, who is guarding the door, will eventually let you enter. Hand the Data Rom to Nett. He admits that it's going to take some time to analyze the contents of this Data Rom. Bitt suggests that you go to the Rock Poke Spot, one of the three Poke Spots that Duking has discovered, to see some wild Pokemon. As you leave ONBS, you'll eavesdrop on a conversation between Trudly and Folly. Apparently, Folly snuck a transmitter onto their boss to tell where he is by checking a Radar. You can obtain Battle CDs 40 and 22 in the Researcher's and Duking's houses respectively. You can obtain Battle CDs 38, 36, 24 and 21 on the third floor, on the top floor, on the first floor and on the second floor of ONBS respectively after the Snag Machine is stolen. =============================================================================== 4.08 - POKE SPOTS =============================================================================== At Rock Poke Spot, an OBNS reporter named Pofty says Duking is the driving force behind the booming popularity of wild Pokemon in Pyrite Town. Duking explains how one goes about attracting wild Pokemon to a Poke Spot and asks you to help demonstrate. The stages of catching wild Pokemon are as follows: 1) You need Poke Snacks (Duking gives you 10). 2) Lay those Poke Snacks on the plate nearby. 3) Leave the Poke Spot. 4) Eventually, a wild Pokemon will come along. The more Poke Snacks you lay out, the longer a Pokemon will stay to eat, making it that much easier to catch. The Spot Monitor lets you know what's happening at any Poke Spot wherever you are. Duking gives you one as thanks for participating in the demonstration. When a wild Pokemon appears, your Spot Monitor will respond and alert you. Check the Misc. Stuff section for more information. Duking reveals that he's found three Poke Spots and marks the second one, Oasis Poke Spot, on the map. At Oasis, Duking admits there are several rare Pokemon that hardly ever show up at Poke Spots. He's having a hard time trying to catch Trapinch, Surskit, and Wooper. If you able to capture these Pokemon, Dukingcan will trade you a Level 20 Meditite, Shuckle, and Larvitar respectively. Larvitar's the best of the bunch, as it will evolve into the formidable Tyranitar if trained well. As Duking leaves, he marks the final Poke Spot: Cave. You can find Duking again in his house in Pyrite Town after ONBS is liberated from Cipher (it's identified by the letter "G" on the outside). There is an open door inside that leads to a cave where you will find him. At Cave Poke Spot, you come across Trudly and Folly again. When you confront them, Folly's Radar will detect their boss Miror B. and sure enough, he arrives on the scene. No longer affiliated with Cipher, Miror B. wants to form his own team and own all the Pokemon in the world. He invites you to join his team. Say "No" to face him in battle. MY PARTY _______________ | POKEMON | +---------------+ | L32 Espeon | | L25 Flaaffy | | L24 Houndoom | | L25 Spheal | +---------------+ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | BOSS BATTLE: WANDERER MIROR B. | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ ________________________________________________ | POKEMON | TYPE | ------------------------------------------------- | L17 Lombre x3 | Water/Grass | | L19+ Voltorb (S) | Electric | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes and Strategy ------------------ Miror B.'s strategy revolves around Rain Dance. Not only do Water moves get stronger, but the Lombres' Spd is doubled or HP restored a bit with the Swift Swim/Rain Dish abilities. They'll use Thief, Water Gun and Mega Drain to cover a variety of types. They're an odd Water/Grass dual type, which makes them weak to only Poison, Flying and Bug moves. Since you probably don't have one of those, your best bet is to deal neutral damage against the Lombres. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As a disgruntled Miror B. escapes, you'll notice Fully's Miror Radar on the ground. Pick it up. This Radar shows you where Miror B. happens to be. Whenever he appears somewhere, a mark appears on the screen. When you see the mark, check the Radar. It'll tell you where he is. See the Misc. Stuff section for more information. After reading the instructions, Nett will send you an e-mail informing you that he hasn't completed an analysis on the Data Rom, but he did make a stunning discovery about Cipher's Shadow Pokemon plan. =============================================================================== 4.09 - ONBS =============================================================================== 1F -- *Cipher Peon Rett: L18 Carvanha, L17 Barboach *Cipher Peon Mocor: L18 Corphish, L17 Electrike, L18 Grimer As you enter ONBS, the guard tells you some terrible news. A bunch of shady characters snuck in and took Megg, the receptionist, hostage. It's likely that Cipher is behind this and sure enough, their presence is confirmed when you go right into a hall and encounter Rett. Unlock the door near the elevator to trigger a battle with Mocor. 2F -- *Cipher Peon Torkin: L19 Kecleon, L21 Surskit, L18+ Makuhita (S) *Cipher Peon Elox: L20 Doduo, L18 Tentacool, L20 Chimecho *Cipher Peon Rixor: L19 Qwilfish, L20 Rhyhorn, L20 Chinchou, L20 Koffing *Cipher Peon Mesin: L20 Spinarak, L19 Beautifly, L20 Dustox, L18+ Vulpix (S) Take the elevator up and you'll be taken by surprise on the second floor. Torkin emerges from her hiding place and attacks! In Nett's office, you find Elox. Talk to Secc to learn that Cipher came looking for Nett. Secc thinks your Data Rom contains sensitive information that they want to keep secret at all costs. In the newsroom, you'll see Rixor ridiculing newsreader Ancha. Your path to the elevator is blocked by Mesin. 3F -- *Cipher Peon Dilly: L19 Gulpin, L18 Mareep, L20 Luvdisc, L21 Bellossom *Cipher Peon Eldos: L19 Furret, L20 Zigzagoon, L19 Togetic, L21 Delibird *Cipher Peon Lobar: L20 Sneasel, L19 Yanma, L20 Misdreavus, L19+ Duskull (S) Take the elevator up and use the Healing Machine on this floor. Battle Dilly to save Kandee and her mother. You find Eldos in the other room. Try to walk up the staircase to be confronted by Lobar. 4F -- *Cipher Peon Feldas: L22 Kadabra, L22 Flaaffy, L21 Vigoroth, L20+ Ralts (S) If you didn't choose Espeon at the start of the game, now's your chance to catch a good pure Psychic-type Pokemon (Ralts). On the top floor, defeat Feldas to enter Secc's office. Inside, Nett hands over the Data Rom to Cipher Cmdr Exol. Exol presumes that Nett thinks handing it over doesn't matter, as he's already copied the data. However, it becomes apparent that Cipher has deleted all data copied onto ONBS' servers, much to Nett's shock. Exol lets Megg go and is about to leave when you confront him. MY PARTY _______________ | POKEMON | +---------------+ | L34 Espeon | | L27 Flaaffy | | L25 Houndoom | | L26 Spheal | +---------------+ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | BOSS BATTLE: CIPHER CMDR EXOL | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ ________________________________________________ | POKEMON | TYPE | ------------------------------------------------- | L23 Loudred | Normal | | L23 Girafraig | Normal/Psychic | | L22+ Mawile (S) | Steel | | L23 Raichu | Electric | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes and Strategy ------------------ Loudred/Girafraig's Stomp may cause your Pokemon to flinch and will deal major damage to ones with low Def. Loudred's Seismic Toss shouldn't do much damage. Raichu's Dig can wipe out Fire, Electric, Poison, Rock and Steel types, so be careful. Girafraig is a Normal/Psychic dual type, which makes it weak to only Bug and Dark moves. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With ONBS liberated from Cipher, talk to Nett to learn that the criminal organisation was behind the disappearance of the S.S. Libra and is planning a major attack on Phenac City. Megg becomes worried about Marcia, as she went off to Phenac City to investigate why the place's communication systems were down. Nett asks you to inform the Mayor of Phenac about Cipher's coming attack. Note that Great Balls are now available at most Poke Marts. You may be strong enough now to clear Areas 3-4 of Mt. Battle. =============================================================================== 4.10 - REALGAM TOWER =============================================================================== When you arrive in Phenac City, a woman will congratulate you on being the place's one millionth visitor. In commemoration, the woman gives you a Disc Case with some Battle CDs (01, 07, 20). She urges you to take the Disc Case to Realgam Tower. This woman won't let you access to Phenac until you do so. At Realgam Tower, you'll find Trudly and Folly. They complain that one can't keep Pokemon from the Battle CDs, so they decide to toss them somewhere. From this point in the game, you'll find Battle CDs everywhere in the Orre Region. If you can find and clear all the Battle CDs, you'll recieve 15,000 Poke Coupons, so it's worth it to start searching for them. Inside Realgam Tower, you can play Battle Bingo and do Battle Sims. Check the Misc. Stuff section for more information. The Poke Mart here sells some of the game's best TMs. The Realgam Colosseum is closed at the moment, but it will be opened later. When you've cleared Battle CDs 02, 03, and 04, you can purchase Battle CDs 09, 13, and 17. When you've cleared Battle CDs 19, 13, and 07, you can purchase Battle CDs 25, 26, and 30. ================================================================================ 4.11 - PHENAC CITY ================================================================================ Having visited Realgam Tower, you can now return to Phenac City and explore the place. It seems something strange is going on here. The Pokemon Centre is unmanned and the Poke Mart is closed. You can heal your Pokemon in a man's house east of the Pre Gym, though. While there, you're free to take the Music Disc on the table. The man says it's a disc with a song sung by a pop idol. Avril Lavigne maybe? Er, never mind. Grab the Music Disc and go to the Mayor's House. If you try to go upstairs, the housekeeper will stop you from doing so. She complains that house-sitting is boring, and craves some music to relieve her boredom, so give her the disc. While she's distracted, you can head up the staircase undetected. Upstairs, pick up the Mayor's Note on the carpet. It appears to be a letter from the Mayor to Pre Gym Leader Justy. Read it to learn that Cipher's members are secretly taking the places of prominent members of the community! If something isn't done, Phenac will be taken by Cipher without anyone noticing what's happening. MAYOR'S HOUSE ------------- *Cipher Peon Exinn: L20 Seviper, L20+ Snorunt (S), L22 Golbat, L21 Mightyena *Cipher Peon Gonrag: L22 Murkrow, L20+ Pineco (S), L22 Ariados The fake housekeeper corners you and figures that you intend to deliver the letter to Justy. She drops her facade and reveals her true identity to be Cipher Peon Exinn! When you go downstairs, Cipher Peon Gonrag will ambush you. When you go outside, you'll see the Hexagon Brothers (Justy Gang) leave the Pre Gym and disperse each disguised as Leader Justy. You can battle them in various areas other than Phenac Stadium and Pre Gym to acquire some Battle CDs. There are other Cipher Peons impersonating citizens waiting to fight you as well. MAYOR'S HOUSE ------------- *Cipher Peon Yellosix: L20 Electrike, L20 Chinchou, L20 Magnemite *Cipher Peon Browsix: L20 Noctowl, L20 Vigoroth PHENAC CITY ----------- *Cipher Peon Resix: L20 Slugma, L20 Numel *Cipher Peon Greesix: L18 Oddish, L18 Grimer, L19 Shroomish, L19 Lotad, L20 Pineco *Cipher Peon Purpsix: L20 Koffing, L20 Grimer, L20 Tentacool, L20 Zubat *Cipher Peon Blusix: L20 Horsea, L20 Goldeen, L19 Beldum *Cipher Peon Ertlig: L22 Poochyena, L21 Magnemite, L21 Staryu, L21 Absol *Cipher Peon Kapin: L20 Volbeat, L21 Spoink, L20 Illumise, L22 Wailmer, L21 Seviper *Cipher Peon Forgs: L20 Duskull, L20 Corphish, L20 Qwilfish *Cipher Peon Ezoor: L21 Shuppet, L21 Teddiursa, L21 Corsola *Cipher Peon Faton: L21 Goldeen, L21 Carvanha, L21 Koffing, L21 Mightyena *Cipher Peon Pellim: L20 Sudowoodo, L21 Clamperl After defeating Kapin, the door to the Poke Mart will be unlocked, so you can enter it and purchase items. Then, go to the Pre Gym. Justy isn't here, but 3 Cipher Peons are! PRE GYM ------- *Cipher Peon Eloin: L22 Kirlia, L20 Linoone, L22+ Natu (S) *Cipher Peon Fasin: L22 Remoraid, L22 Golbat, L22+ Roselia (S) *Cipher Peon Fostin: L22 Kadabra, L22 Sneasel, L22 Misdreavus, L22+ Meowth (S) Once you beat Fostin, he sniggers that you need the Elevator Key to free Justy, the Mayor and the rest of the ctitizens, who are trapped in the Pre Gym's basement. If you talk to the boy outside the Pre Gym, he figures that the weird guy who went running off towards Phenac Stadium was a fake. Sounds like a good place to check out. PHENAC STADIUM -------------- *Cipher Peon Greck: L22 Torkoal, L23 Nuzleaf, L22+ Swinub (S) *Cipher Peon Ezin: L23 Pelipper, L23 Electrike, L22+ Spearow (S) *Cipher Peon Faltly: L23 Chinchou, L23 Stantler, L23+ Grimer (S) *Cipher Peon Egrog: L25 Houndour, L26 Graveler, L26 Gulpin, L23+ Seel (S) Greck is guarding the Phenac Stadium. Inside, you face two battles in a row with Ezin and Faltly. I recommend healing your Pokemon now, since you have another two-part battle coming up with Egrog and Snattle. In the centre of Phenac Stadium, there is a confrontation between Cipher Admin Snattle and ONBS reporter Marcia. Marcia refuses to hand over the incriminating videotapes. Snattle says he has been promised the position of Orre's Governor by Master Greevil, so he can't allow those videotapes to be broadcast to the public, as his political record would be ruined if it was proven that he muzzled the citizens of Phenac. Snattle then notices you and orders Egrog to get rid of you. Afterwards, a disgruntled Snattle shouts that he can't allow Master Greevil to see this conflict on television. He warns that he will show no mercy in battle. If you lose this battle, you can challenge Snattle again without having to defeat Egrog first. MY PARTY _______________ | POKEMON | +---------------+ | L42 Espeon | | L31 Houndoom | | L30 Ampharos | | L32 Sealeo | +---------------+ My Spheal has finally evolved into Sealeo, a stronger Pokemon with much-needed better stats. +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | BOSS BATTLE: CIPHER ADMIN SNATTLE | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ ________________________________________________ | POKEMON | TYPE | ------------------------------------------------- | L26 Lanturn | Water/Electric | | L26 Quagsire | Water/Ground | | L25+ Lunatone (S) | Rock/Psychic | | L27 Castform | Normal | | L28 Metang | Steel/Psychic | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes and Strategy ------------------ Don't use Electric or Water-type moves when Lanturn and Quagsire are out, as the former's Volt Absorb and latter's Water Absorb abilities will restore their HP instead. Lanturn and Quagsire are Dual Water, so Grass-types (eg. Breloom) are good. Snattle will use Quagsire's Rock Tomb and Castform's Icy Wind to give himself a Spd advantage. Metang has Thunderpunch, Metal Claw and Confusion, but it will still fall to Fire and Ground moves. Lunatone's Shadow Sky hurts all non-Shadow Pokemon bit by bit for 5 turns, so watch out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After Snattle runs off, search the Phenac Colosseum to find TM13 (Ice Beam), a Water Stone, a PP Up, and the Elevator Key. Go back to the Pre Gym and insert the key into the control deck to open the elevator. Head down it to find the citizens. With the citizens of Phenac City finally free, the Phenac Pokemon Centre and Agate Day Care will now be open for business. If you didn't beat some Hexagon Brothers, they left their Battle CDs behind in the areas where they were standing. You can obtain Battle CDs 27 and 32 in the Mayor's House. You can obtain Battle CDs 16, 19, 27, and 28 scattered around Phenac City. You can obtain Battle CDs 10, 35, and 44 in Citizen's house, the Pre Gym and Phenac Stadium respectively. Go to the Mayor's House and speak with the mayor (Trest). Trest gives you an EXP Share as thanks for saving Phenac City. The EXP Share is an item that allows the holder to receive half the EXP, even if it never participates in battle. It's useful for training weaker Pokemon like Larvitar and Elekid quicker. If the holder participates in battle, it will receive this extra EXP in addition to its normal amount. This is handy for traded Pokemon, in particular, as they already receive 1.5 times the EXP, so their EXP will be boosted to around double the normal amount. Justy thinks Phenac was targeted because Cipher wanted to quash rumours that were spreading. Go to '???' (henceforth referred to as 'S.S. Libra'). Unfortunately, the Scooter's tires get bogged down in the sand, so it's impossible to proceed any further. You are forced to go back to Phenac. =============================================================================== 4.12 - S.S. LIBRA =============================================================================== Walk around a bit in Phenac City to receive an e-mail from Nett asking you to visit ONBS to help locate a missing Pokemon. In Nett's office, Bitt explains that an old man is looking for help with finding a Pokemon. Talk to the man to learn that his granddaughter's Pokemon was onboard the S.S. Libra, and vanished along with the ship. The Pokemon is named Bonsly and looks like a potted plant. Bitt then suggests asking Perr in Gateon Port for help with upgrading your Scooter to get across the desert. When you enter the Parts Shop, Perr says a conversion kit is needed to upgrade the Scooter. His grandfather named Makan can upgrade it, but he's over at Dr. Kaminko's House. You're going to have to see him in person. When you arrive at Kaminko's House, Kaminko Aide Chobin will mistake you for a burglar (again) and challenge you to a battle. KAMINKO'S HOUSE --------------- *Kaminko Aide Chobin: L26 Sunkern, L26 Gyarados *Robo Groudon Chobin: L26 Sunflora, L26 Gyarados, L26 Hoppip, L26 Tropius Dr. Kaminko emerges from his house and gives you the chance to leave. If you refuse, he'll say that the time has come for the ultimate Robo Pokemon to finally reveal itself and calls forth the Robo Groudon under the control of Kaminko Aide Chobin. Chobin has upped his game, but he still shouldn't give you much trouble. When you've defeated Robo Groudon Chobin, he and Dr. Kaminko will realise that you're the Main Character. After giving Chobin your P*DA number, go right to find the basement. Ride the cranes and search the chests to find Battle CD 23 and Jovi's Diary. The diary is updated as you progress through the game, so check it often to read new entries. Check the Jovi's Diary section for more information. Now go into Kaminko's office and take the elevator to find Makan. After grabbing the Rare Candy, talk to Makan. He'll modify your Scooter for desert- crossing performance, so you can now travel to the S.S. Libra. You can now obtain Battle CDs 05, 11, 29, and 23 in the unlocked areas of Dr. Kaminko's House. Regular Chobin will re-match you every time you come back. Ultra Balls and Hyper Potions are now available from most Poke Marts. S.S. LIBRA ---------- *Cipher Peon Smarton: L27 Huntail, L27 Cacnea, L27 Teddiursa, L27 Koffing As you enter the S.S. Libra, Justy sends you an e-mail telling you that the Pre Gym has reopened. Now might be a good time to go there. After that, come back here and push the crates to make it through the rooms. When you reach the exit, you'll find Cipher Admin Gorigan. Gorigan decides that he can't let you leave and orders Snidle to deal with you. Snidle delegates this job to Smarton. Once you've beaten Smarton, he escapes. An Engineer arrives on the scene and says you can rest up at the wheelhouse. You can use it to heal your Pokemon. The engineer asks you to investigate the ship's hull, as he can hear some odd noises from deep within it now and again. Go downstairs and grab Battle CD 18. Push the crates and go through all the rooms to collect a Fire Stone, two PP Ups, a Max Ether, a Yellow Flute, and TM35 (Flamethrower). TM35 is an excellent Fire-Type attack. I suggest teaching it to Fire-Type Pokemon like Houndour/Houndoom to get the most out of it. In the final room, you'll find a Luxury Ball and a Bonsly, the same Bonsly that went missing along with the S.S. Libra. Walk up slowly towards it to grab it. Your P*DA goes off, causing the startled Bonsly to run off somewhere. Drat! At least you can grab the Leftovers that it left behind. It's from Emili's mother Acri from Gateon Port. Acri wishes to write a novel featuring you as the main character, and wants to interview you. If you do the interview, say "Yes" three times to obtain a Amulet Coin, say "No" three times for a Quick Claw, say "Yes" twice and "No" once to receive a Mental Herb, or say "No" twice and "Yes" once to get a White Herb. You can only pick one. I recommend choosing Amulet Coin, as you get the others at the Mt. Battle Coupon Exchange. Make your way out of the basement and desribe the Pokemon that was deep in the ship's hull to the engineer. The engineer suggests looking for it in places where wild Pokemon reside (i.e. Poke Spots). Grab the Battle CD18 and try to leave the S.S. Libra. As you leave the exit, you're confronted by a trio of Team Snagem members. One of the members (Team Snagem Wakin) is disgusted that you don't know who they are. Apparently, grown men trembled at the mere mention of the name 'Team Snagem' in the past. Wakin is certain that they will regain their former glory... by taking your Snag Machine! He knows that you're a great battler, so he uses his Gloom's Sleep Powder move to put you to sleep! While you're unconscious, Wakin steals the Snag Machine. You wake up back in the wheelhouse. The engineer figures that you'll want to retrieve your Snag Machine from Team Snagem and informs you that they went north. Go to '???' (henceforth referred to as 'Cipher Key Lair'). Note that you can't Snag any Shadow Pokemon for the time being without your Snag Machine. =============================================================================== 4.13 - OUTSKIRT STAND =============================================================================== When you arrive at Cipher Key Lair, you'll see a pair of Team Snagem members confront Zook. They threaten to hurt Zook if he doesn't let them enter the pyramid-shaped building, but Zook takes offense at being called a "lunk" and angrily challenges Biden to a battle. Zook's Zangoose wipes out Biden's Oddish straight away. After the battle, it transpires that Wakin must have reached the Snagem Hideout and given your Snag Machine to his leader Gonzap. Zook then recognizes you from Gateon Port. He curses that he's had bad luck ever since and decides to take his frustration out on you! Defeat Zook's Shadow Zangoose first, as it can inflict a lot of damage to your party. CIPHER KEY LAIR --------------- *Thug Zook: L28+ Zangoose (S), L26 Doduo, L26 Carvanha, L26 Seviper, L26 Relicanth Whether you win or lose, try to leave this place and you'll receive an e-mail from Secc asking you to come see him at ONBS. In Secc's office, Secc isn't surprised that Team Snagem stole your Snag Machine and decides to start investigating the group right away. In the meantime, he asks you to meet a man named Hordel at the Outskirt Stand. OUTSKIRT STAND -------------- *Wanderer Miror B.: L26 Lombre x3, L26+ Nosepass (S), L26 Ludicolo *Rider Willie: L24 Zizagoon x2, Linoone x2 When you arrive at Outskirt Stand, your Miror Radar detects Wanderer Miror B.'s presence. Try to enter the gas station and you'll see Trudly and Folly emerge. Miror B. soon joins them outside and then challenges you to a re-match. He uses nearly the same Pokemon as before, so he shouldn't be that hard to beat. After Miror B. does his usual escape routine, enter the gas station and talk to Hordel. He reveals that he fled from Cipher's Key Lair in the north. When he found out that the Key Lair was a factory mass-producing Shadow Pokemon, he was horrified and managed to get away with a Shadow Togepi. Speak with Hordel some more and he'll ask you to Purify it for him (make sure you have room in your party for it). When you give the Purified Togepi back to Hordel, he will give you a Level 20 Elekid. This Elekid knows Thunderpunch, Cross Chop, Ice Punch and Fire Punch for covering a variety of types, though its HP and Sp Def/Def are low. If you give Hordel any other Togepi, you won't get an Elekid with Cross Chop or the Elemental Punches. Note that Ultra, Net, Nest and Timer Balls are available at the Poke Mart here. Walk around a bit to receive an e-mail from Secc informing you that Team Snagem are operating out of their old hideout. As you leave the gas station, Willie catches up with you. If you played Pokemon Colosseum, you should remember him. Say "Yes" to have a battle with him, complete with his same battle music from Colosseum. Afterwards, travel to Snagem Hideout. =============================================================================== 4.14 - SNAGEM HIDEOUT =============================================================================== When you arrive at Snagem Hideout, Trest sends you an e-mail announcing the reopening of Realgam Colosseum, but now isn't a good time to participate, as your Pokemon probably aren't strong enough to compete. Inside the Hideout, you immediately come face-to-face with Team Snagem Agrev. 1F -- Team Snagem Agrev: L26 Murkrow, L26 Oddish, L26 Golbat, L27 Absol Use the Healing Machine and take the northwest staircase up. 2F -- Team Snagem Jedo: L26 Koffing, L26 Oddish, L26 Dustox, L25 Qwilfish Go south to meet Jedo. Past him, there's a two-way split. Take the east path to find a staircase. 1F -- Team Snagem Biden: L27 Oddish, L26 Crobat, L26 Torkoal, L26 Bellossom, L26 Crawdaunt Go down it and head south until you come across Biden, who is guarding another staircase. Defeat Biden and then go up this staircase to find Wakin and Gonzap. 2F -- Team Snagem Wakin: L28 Gloom x2, L28 Mantine, L31 Forretress, L32 Grumpig Wakin figures that you must've come for the Snag Machine but says you won't get it back without a fight, so battle him. Once you beat him, Gonzap will congraulate you on winning and promise to give back your Snag Machine if you can defeat him in battle (you can't heal first). MY PARTY _______________ | POKEMON | +---------------+ | L46 Espeon | | L33 Houndoom | | L33 Ampharos | | L34 Sealeo | +---------------+ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | BOSS BATTLE: SNAGEM HEAD GONZAP | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ ________________________________________________ | POKEMON | TYPE | ------------------------------------------------- | L30 Electrode | Electric | | L32 Nuzleaf | Grass/Dark | | L30 Vileplume | Grass/Poison | | L31 Whiscash | Water/Ground | | L32 Skarmory | Steel/Flying | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes and Strategy ------------------ Nuzleaf, Whiscash and Skarmory all have Hyper Beam, which can do major damage to your Pokemon, though they must re-charge for 1 turn afterwards. Nuzleaf and Vileplume are both Annoyers, using Fake Out and Sleep Powder respectively. Nuzleaf's Aerial Ace is for Grass, Fighting and Bug types. Although Gonzap seems to a varied party of Pokemon, half of them are vulnerable to Fire-type moves. 4 or 5 Flamethrowers from Houndoom should to be able to defeat them. Ground and Grass Pokemon can take down Electrode and Whiscash, respectively. 1 or 2 Thunderpunches from Ampharos can knock out Skarmory if you don't have any Fire-type attacks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After the battle, Gonzap hands over the Snag Machine. He also gives you the Gonzap's Key, which can be used to open a locked chest in a corner on the ground floor (1F) to get TM30 (Shadow Ball). You can now go to the Cipher Key Lair to take care of some unfinished business. You may be strong enough now to clear Areas 5-6 of Mt. Battle and Realgam Colosseum. =============================================================================== 4.15 - CIPHER KEY LAIR =============================================================================== Upon arriving at Cipher Key Lair, confront Zook and he'll challenge you to a re-match. The levels of his Pokemon remain unchanged, though, so he should be easier to beat, since your Pokemon probably gained a few levels at Snagem Hideout. Exterior -------- Thug Zook: L28+ Zangoose (S), L26 Duduo, L26 Carvanha, L26 Seviper, L26 Relicanth Try to enter the pyramid-shaped building and two guards will come running to stop you. If you speak with them, one guard will notice the Snag Machine on your arm and ask if you were ever on television. Say "Yes" to get a hostile reaction, but Gonzap and Wakin will help you. Now's your chance to enter the Cipher Key Lair undetected. 1F -- Cipher Peon Ibsol: L30 Plusle, L30 Dustox, L31 Xatu, L30 Volbeat Inside, there is a production room where you'll find a chest containing 3 Hyper Potions. Go southwest to encounter Ibsol. Now go northwest and head down the staircase to find Kollo. B1 -- Cipher Peon Kollo: L31 Clamperl, L31 Octillery, L31 Lanturn, L32 Relicanth Pick up a TM24 (Thunderbolt) and then make your way back to 1F. Go southeast this time to encounter Grezle. 1F -- Cipher Peon Grezle: L30 Minun, L30 Beautifly, L28 Ledian, L31 Illumise Cipher Peon Humah: L29 Seviper, L29 Murkrow, L28+ Paras (S), L28+ Growlithe (S) Now head north towards a staircase to encounter Humah. From this point in the game, most members of Cipher will have more than 1 Shadow Pokemon. Go up the staircase and use the Healing Machine. Head south and then right to find a staircase guarded by Gorog. 2F -- Cipher Peon Gorog: L29+ Shellder (S), L29 Rhyhorn, L29 Swalot, L29 Golbat, L30 Sharpedo Take the staircase up and push the crates onto the moon and sun-themed mosiacs to unlock their respective doors. By opening the sun door, you can access a staircase guarded by Lok. 3F -- Cipher Peon Lok: L30+ Beedrill (S), L30 Furret, L31 Togetic, L30+ Pidgeotto (S) Head up the staircase and go left to encounter Kleto. 4F -- Cipher Peon Kleto: L30 Absol, L31 Smeargle, L30 Donphan, L31 Ampharos, L31 Tentacruel Cipher Peon Flipis: L31 Chimecho, L30 Kecleon, L30 Noctowl, L29 Mightyena Cipher Peon Targ: L30 Nintetales, L30 Jumpluff, L32 Auzumarill, L30+ Tangela (S), L30+ Butterfree (S) Cipher R&D Hospel: L30 Ariados, L29 Girafarig, L31 Vileplume, L31 Stantler, L31 Granbull Cipher Peon Snidle: L31 Shedinja, L30 Wobbuffet, L35 Vibrava, L30+ Magneton (S) Go northwest to find Flipis. Walk right down a hall to encounter Targ. Ignore the staircase at the hall's end for now and go south instead. Battle Hospel and then Snidle. Snidle has a Wobbuffet that can catch you off guard with Counter and Mirror Coat. Your best bet is to use a Dark-type Pokemon with special moves against it, as that way Mirror Coat won't have any effect. Afterwards, obtain the System Lever on the white table and next go back to the staircase. Head up it this time to find yourself on the roof. Fudler is a little bit to the left. Roof ---- Cipher Peon Fudler: L31 Machoke, L31 Golem, L31 Fortress, L32 Mantine, L31 Crobat Cipher Peon Angie: L33 Golduck, L33 Hitmontop, L34 Hariyama, L32+ Venomoth (S), L32+ Weepinbell (S) Cipher Peon Acrod: L34 Grumpig, L34 Seadra, L35 Camerupt, L34 Seaking, L34 Piloswine Cipher Peon Smarton: L36 Huntail, L35 Cacturne, L35 Weezing, L35 Ursaring, L33+ Arbok (S) Go past the locked door and confront Angie who is guarding the steps up to the Control Machine. Make your way up them and grab a TM26 (Earthquake) before fighting Acrod. Use the System Lever to raise the Control Machine's voltage and then go back down the steps. A series of explosions prompts Smarton to come out. Duel! Now's your chance to catch an Arbok with Shadow Half. Go through the now open door to confront Smarton's boss Monkey Man, er, I mean Cipher Admin Gorigan. Gorigan is shocked that you took down all the Shadow Pokemon Cipher made, so he decides to deal with you himself. MY PARTY _______________ | POKEMON | +---------------+ | L59 Espeon | | L40 Houndoom | | L43 Ampharos | | L43 Sealeo | +---------------+ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | BOSS BATTLE: CIPHER ADMIN GORIGAN | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ ________________________________________________ | POKEMON | TYPE | ------------------------------------------------- | L36 Lairon | Steel/Rock | | L36 Sealeo | Water/Ice | | L36 Slowking | Water/Psychic | | L36 Ursaring | Normal | | L34+ Primape (S) | Fighting | | L34+ Hypno (S) | Psychic | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes and Strategy ------------------ Gorigan's strategy revolves around the Protect/Earthquake combo. Concentrate on taking out the Earthquake users (Sealeo and Slowking) first and then deal with the Pokemon that use Protect (Sealeo, Lairon and Ursaring). Sealeo knows Protect as well as Earthquake, so be cautious, though it tends to use Protect most of the time. Ursaring's Brick Brick is for Normal, Ice, Rock, Dark and Steel-types. Sealeo and Slowking are Dual Water, so Electric-types are good. Lairon is a Steel/Rock dual type, which makes it weak to Fighting, Ground and Water moves (Fighting moves also work well against Sealeo and Ursaring). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A disgruntled Gorigan vows vengeance and decides to blow up the factory with you in it! Suddenly, Verich appears on the videoscreen and tells him to desist. You learn the shocking truth - Verich is actually Greevil, the Grand Master of Cipher! Greevil explains that even though the mass output of Shadow Pokemon has ended, Cipher's plan itself is unharmed. XD001 - the ultimate Shadow Pokemon that is resistant to Purification - has undergone its final tuning and now rests with him. Greevil intends to activate XD001 and doubts that you can stop him. He informs you that he is in Cipher's HQ on Citadark Isle off the coast of Gateon Port. He challenges you to go there, but laughs that Citadark Isle is surrounded by harsh seas and violent weather, making it extremely difficult to reach. Gorgian adds that the place will be swarming with Trainers carrying the Shadow Pokemon he made. Once Gorigan runs off, pick up the list of manufactured Shadow Pokemon on his table. It has information on the Shadow Pokemon that you have snagged, the ones you have purified and the ones you haven't seen or snagged yet. There are a lot of rare Pokemon on it such as Scyther and Chansey that are frustratingly hard to catch or expensive to buy in the core Gen III games. Also, you can capture a Shadow Dragonite, so you won't have to train a Dratini/Dragonair to register it in your GBA Pokedex. Speaking of the Shadow Dragonite, as you leave the Cipher Key Lair, you'll be informed that two weird guys took off with the rare Shadow Pokemon. One had a mohawk, and the other had hair like a ball. The thieves match the descriptions of Trudly and Folly. If you want the Shadow Dragonite, you'll have to Snag 82 Shadow Pokemon first and then find their boss Wanderer Miror B. at Gateon Port in the Lighthouse. Check the Misc. Stuff section for more information. Go to the Parts Shop in Gateon Port. Perr informs you that the Robo Koygre is finally completed. Tell Makan what has happened. Perr says Citadark Isle can't be approached by sea or air normally, but the Robo Koygre can. Perfect! As you leave the Parts Shop, you receive an email from Krane asking you to come to the HQ Lab. Talk to him and he'll reveal a secret staircase which leads to a chest containing a Master Ball! This ball has a 100% capture rate. I'd recommend saving it for later when you face Shadow Lugia. If you go to Kaminko's House, Chobin will send you an email asking you to re-match him. Since you're already here, the re-match will begin immediately. KAMINKO'S HOUSE --------------- Robo Groudon Chobin: L37 Sunflora, L37 Gyarados, L37 Skiploom, L37 Tropius Afterwards, go into Kaminko's House. Check the bookcase where Kaminko himself is to find Battle CD 50 and check the room with the cranes again to find Battle CD 49. Note that the Gateon Port Poke Mart now stocks all useful items such as Max Potions and Full Restores, though Revives, Super Potions and Full Heals are sufficient if you're low on money. Ride the Robo Koygre to Citadark Isle. =============================================================================== 4.16 - CITADARK ISLE =============================================================================== As you step off the Robo Koygre, you're confronted by Abson. Exterior -------- Navigator Abson: L33 Crawdaunt, L33 Pelipper, L33 Mantine, L33+ Golduck (S), L33+ Sableye (S) Before following Abson deeper into the island, talk to the sailor guarding Greevil's yacht. He'll ask if you'll let him take a ride in the Robo Koygre sometime. Say "Yes" to receive Battle CD31 as thanks. Inside, there's a Healing Machine and PC. There is a two-way split here. Take the western path first to encounter Haben. 1F -- Cipher Peon Haben: L33 Masquerain, L33 Dunsparce, L33 Roselia, L33 Spinda Chaser Furgy: L34 Xatu, L34+ Dodrio (S), L33 Whiscash, L34+ Raticate (S) Sailor Golos: L34 Aron, L34 Corsola, L37 Pupitar Hunter Jestal: L34 Sneasel, L33 Girafarig, L33 Golbat, L34 Seaking Now go back to the two-way split and take the eastern path to be ambushed by Furgy. Past Furgy, there's Golos to the northeast. Head west and then south to Jestal. As you approach the elevator at the floor's end, Lovrina will emerge from it. She blames you for Greevil being angry with her over the botched kidnapping of Prof. Krane, but she says that doesn't matter now, as the final adjustments to XD001 have been completed regardless. She figures that you want to see XD001 and says that's not going to happen. MY PARTY _______________ | POKEMON | +---------------+ | L60 Espeon | | L44 Houndoom | | L44 Walrein | | L44 Ampharos | +---------------+ Er, I think I overtrained my party. You should be fine if your Pokemon are Level 40+. +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | BOSS BATTLE: CIPHER ADMIN LOVRINA | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ ________________________________________________ | POKEMON | TYPE | ------------------------------------------------- | L36 Gardevoir | Psychic | | L36 Gorebyss | Water | | L37 Roselia | Grass/Poison | | L36+ Farfetch'd (S) | Normal/Flying | | L36+ Altaria (S) | Dragon/Flying | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes and Strategy ------------------ Lovrina's Pokemon are all Annoyers. Gardevoir, Gorebyss and Roselia each have Attract, which has a 50% chance of causing your Pokemon to become infactuated with the opposite gender. Gardevoir and Gorebyss know a variety of moves that may inflict status conditions (Gardevoir's Ice Punch, Thunderpunch and Psychic; Gorebyss' Water Pulse, Ice Beam and Confusion). Be wary of Roselia's Leech Seed, as it can be a hinderance to deal with while trying to Snag Lovrina's Shadow Pokemon. Speaking of which, Farfetch'd and Altaria can be irriating to catch when they're on the field together, as Altaria's Shadow Mist makes Farfetch'd's Shadow Panic easier to hit. I advise leaving Roselia out (its Magical Leaf won't do much damage) to disrupt this combo. If you have a Pokemon with Safeguard (eg. Ninetales), this battle will be much easier. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With Lovrina gone, you can take the elevator down. Go right through a hall to encounter Bastil. B1 -- Cipher Peon Bastil: L35 Crobat, L35 Seviper, L34 Chimecho, L34 Masquerain Cipher Peon Litnar: L34 Electrode, L34 Misdreavus, L36 Claydol, L35+ Kangashkan (S), L37+ Banette (S) Cipher Peon Grason: L35 Absol, L34 Ninjask, L37 Sandslash, L35 Mawile Pick up the 5 Ultra Balls as you make your way past the scientists. You'll find Litnar waiting at the elevator at the end. Before taking the elevator up, check out the northeast/west corners of the floor. In the northeast, you'll encounter Grason where 2 Full Restores also are. In the northwest, you can find 3 Hyper Potions. On the next floor, you'll receive two emails from Eagun (the first one is an empty message and the second is an email apologizing). Push all the blocks into the lava to drain enough of it so you'll be able to access the exit. However, just as you approach it, you're ambushed by Grupel. 2F-1 ---- Cipher Peon Grupel: L37 Houndoom, L37 Ninetales, L34 Vileplume, L36+ Magmar (S), L35+ Pinsir (S) Go through the open entrance and walk around the lavafall. There's a Healing Machine here. Go through another opening to find a PC and Kimly by an elevator (Tip: You can deposit and then withdraw Pokemon at the PC if you want to heal them without having to head back to the Healing Machine). 2F-3 ---- Cipher Peon Kimly: L35 Mightyena, L34 Stantler, L37 Zangoose, L35 Sharpedo, L34 Sunflora Take the elevator up and you'll receive another email from Eagun containing a hilariously bad poem. Seriously, Eagun? Anyway, follow the path and fight 3 Trainers. 3F-1 ---- Hunter Ibran: L35 Weezing, L35 Forretress, L36 Wobbuffet, L37 Dodrio, L34 Skarmory Rider Kulig: L34 Azumarill, L36 Pelipper, L35 Ariados, L36 Octillery, L36 Qwilfish Cipher Peon Jargo: L36 Delibird, L36 Grumpig, L35 Swalot, L35 Relicanth, L37 Golduck, L35 Quagsire Chaser Nalix: L35 Dustox, L36 Beautifly, L34 Sunflora, L36 Illumise, L36 Volbeat Cipher Peon Kolest: L37 Camerupt, L37 Weezing, L38 Muk, L40+ Rapidash (S), L38+ Magcargo (S) Cipher Peon Kolin: L37 Cacturne, L37 Ninetales, L37 Torkoal, L37 Mantine Cipher Peon Karbon: L38 Medicham, L38 Golem, L38 Xatu, L38+ Hitmonlee (S) Cipher Peon Petro: L39 Grumpig, L39 Skarmory, L39 Metang, L39 Hariyama, L38+ Hitmonlee (S) Your reward for beating 3 Trainers is an Elixir. A little bit left of Ibran is Nalix. Go northwest to Kolest. A little bit ahead is Kolin. Grab the 2 Full Restores at the end and go through an opening to have a two- part battle with Karbon and Petro. They have only 1 Shadow Pokemon each, fortunately. Now's your chance to catch a Hitmonlee with Shadow Half (Note: It has Limber to prevent paralysis). Take the elevator up and go south to encounter Jaymi. 4F -- Cipher Peon Jaymi: L39 Yanma, L37 Roselia, L39 Smeargle, L37 Vileplume, L40 Altaria Cipher Peon Gromlet: L40 Banette, L40 Sableye, L40 Dusclops, L44 Crobat, L44 Wailord Cipher Peon Geftal: L41 Lanturn, L41 Magneton, L38+ Lickitung (S) Cipher Peon Leden: L41 Stantler, L41 Explaud, L40+ Scyther (S), L39+ Chansey (S) Grab the 3 Rare Candies from a chest nearby and then continue onward to find Gromlet. Pick up the PP Max in the next area. Then, take the elevator up and you'll get yet another email from Eagun hoping you succeed. Thanks, Eagun. Now, ride the cranes and make your way to the next elevator. Battle Geftal and grab the 3 Max Ethers. Continue onward and take the 4 Full Heals. Watch out for the gaps on the floor. As you approach the elevator, Leden ambushes you. Now's your chance to catch a good Bug Pokemon (Scyther), although it will only evolve into the more resistant Scizor when traded with a Metal Coat attached. With Leden beaten, now would be a good time to stock up on healing items and balls because there are tough boss battles coming up. Afterwards, board the elevator and you'll see a dome-shaped building up ahead. Try to approach it to be confronted by Snattle. Snattle blames all his problems on Lovrina and Gorigan and... you! Since you spoiled the plan he had devised for Phenac City and Marcia broadcasted his worst moment all over Orre, Snattle vows to defeat you in order to gain Greevil's forgiveness and assume his position as Orre's Governor. Now's your chance to catch a good Water Pokemon (Starmie), although you'll get an opportunity to get an equally good Lapras soon enough. MY PARTY _______________ | POKEMON | +---------------+ | L64 Espeon | | L47 Ampharos | | L44 Houndoom | | L44 Walrein | +---------------+ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | BOSS BATTLE: CIPHER ADMIN SNATTLE | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ ________________________________________________ | POKEMON | TYPE | ------------------------------------------------- | L42 Metang | Steel/Psychic | | L42 Quagsire | Water/Ground | | L42 Scizor | Bug/Steel | | L41+ Solrock (S) | Rock/Psychic | | L42 Castform | Normal | | L41+ Starmie | Water/Psychic | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes and Strategy ------------------ Snattle uses nearly the same types as before. Quagsire will once again try to lower the Spd of your Pokemon, this time using Mud Shot instead of Rock Tomb. Scizor knows Silver Wind, Slash and Steel Wing, but it will still fall to Fire moves. Castform has a variety of attacks (Water Pulse, Flamethrower, Thunderbolt and Weather Ball), so watch out. Solrock and Starmie use the same Shadow Panic/Mist combo as Lovina's Farfetch'd and Altaria. I advise leaving Metang out (its Thunderpunch, Metal Claw and Psychic won't do much damage) to disrupt this combo. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now go down the elevator that Snattle just used to end up back outside Citadark Isle. This elevator is useful for returning to the dome without having to go through all of Citadark again. Unfortunately, you must get through Kleef if you want to leave. Kleef's defensive Pokemon (Shuckle and Blissey) can be hard to get rid of, but they should go down eventually if you concentrate your attacks on one of them at a time. Exterior -------- Cipher Peon Kleef: L44 Shuckle, L42 Blissey, L41 Weezing Cipher Admin Ardos is waiting across a bridge outside the dome. If his name sounds familiar, that's because he's the one who defeated Zook at Gateon Port. Ardos says he was merely punishing Zook for using a Shadow Pokemon in public. Little did Ardos suspect that you would become Cipher's biggest and most damaging threat. He figures that you have the skills and wherewithal to continue onward, so he wants to battle you to witness your strength beforehand. Now's your chance to catch a Swellow and Electabuzz with Shadow Half. Now is also an opportunity to get a good Normal-Type (Snorlax). +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | BOSS BATTLE: CIPHER ADMIN ARDOS | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ ________________________________________________ | POKEMON | TYPE | ------------------------------------------------- | L43+ Swellow (S) | Normal/Flying | | L44 Alakazam | Psychic | | L44 Kingdra | Water/Dragon | | L44 Heracross | Bug/Fighting | | L43+ Electabuzz (S) | Electric | | L43+ Snorlax (S) | Normal | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes and Strategy ------------------ Ardos' fast Swellow and Alakazam can sweep your team before you get a chance to attack, so I recommend paralyzing them straight away. Alakazam, Kingdra and Heracross know a variety of attacks (Alakazam's Psychic, Ice Punch and Thunderpunch; Kingdra's Hydro Pump, Double-Edge and Ice Beam; Heracross' Brick Brick, Double-Edge and Megahorn). Kingdra is a Water/Dragon dual type, which makes it weak to only Dragons, and that's what Ice Beam's there for. A couple of neutral attacks like Psychic and Thunderbolt should get rid of it, though. Although Snorlax is Ardos' slowest Pokemon, it knows the powerful Shadow End move. If your Pokemon are hit by it, you'll take a lot of damage, but Snorlax will probably lose half of its HP, so it evens out. Its hold item Leftovers will restore its HP bit by bit, though. Swellow/Electabuzz's Shadow Mist makes it easier for Snorlax's Shadow End to hit. I advise leaving Kingdra out (its attacks won't do much damage due to its stats being more defensive than offensive) to disrupt this combo. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ardos realises that he should have crushed you much earlier. This is out of his hands now, so he must defer you to Greevil himself. Inside the dome, there's a Healing Machine and PC. Go through the sliding door to find Greevil and Eldes waiting. Greevil congratulates you defeating most of his underlings, but he can't allow you to interfere with the completion of his Shadow Pokemon plan, so he raises a glass wall to stop you proceeding any further. Er, how lame is that? You have no choice but to leave. As you do so, Gorigan challenges you to a rematch. +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | BOSS BATTLE: CIPHER ADMIN GORIGAN | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ ________________________________________________ | POKEMON | TYPE | ------------------------------------------------- | L42 Slowking | Water/Psychic | | L43 Ursaring | Normal | | L43 Aggron | Steel/Rock | | L44 Walrein | Ice/Water | | L42+ Poliwrath (S) | Water/Psychic | | L42+ Mr. Mime (S) | Water/Psychic | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes and Strategy ------------------ Like Snattle, Gorigan uses nearly the same types as before. He utilizes the Protect/Earthquake combo once more, with the Earthquake users (Slowking, Aggron and Walrein) and the Protect users (Ursaring and Aggron). Treat him like you did the first time around. I advise leaving Aggron out (it uses Protect most of the time) if you're having difficulty catching Gorigan's Shadow Pokemon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use the elevator outside and go through the hallway find Kolax. Dome-B1 ------- Cipher Peon Kolax: L41 Glalie, L44 Ampharos, L44 Donphan, L40+ Dugtrio (S) Now take the elevator at the hall's end up and go through the door to finally confront Greevil and Eldes. Greevil is furious that Cipher's defences could be penetrated so deeply and orders Eldes to deal with you once and for all. Eldes wishes he could battle you on better terms, but he is loyal to his master. Now's your chance to catch a good Dragon and Water (Salamence and Lapras). +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | BOSS BATTLE: CIPHER ADMIN ELDES | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ ________________________________________________ | POKEMON | TYPE | ------------------------------------------------- | L44 Ninjask | Bug/Flying | | L44+ Manectric (S) | Electric | | L50+ Salamence (S) | Dragon/Flying | | L45 Flygon | Ground/Dragon | | L44+ Marowak (S) | Ground | | L44+ Lapras (S) | Ice/Water | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes and Strategy ------------------ Manectric, Salamence and Marowak all know Shadow End, which can take advantage of the latter one's hold item Thick Club. Manectric and Marowak can also utilize the Shadow Panic/Mist combo, so I advise leaving Flygon out (its Double-Edge won't do too much damage) to disrupt this combo. Ninjask has Silver Wind and Dig for a lot of types, so try to get rid of it quickly. Don't use Electric-type attacks when Manectric/Marowak is out, as it will draw them to itself if it has the Lightningrod ability. Avoid using Water moves on Lapras in case it has the Water Absorb ability. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eldes is impressed by your skills, but he tells you that Greevil's power is probably far greater than you can imagine (Note: Eldes lowers the glass wall that Greevil raised before he leaves, so you can now quickly access the Healing Machine and PC here). Take the Max Revive. This is the last point in the game where you can save your progress until you beat the game, as the final boss is coming up. Your next battle is against Shadow Lugia. Leave an empty slot in your party for Shadow Lugia, so you can use it against Greevil's other Shadow Pokemon. Have Electabuzz in one of the two front slots, so you can utilize Shadow Half right away. The following info is credited to WhiscashLord: After beating Eldes you can find a trainer named Kaller sitting in one of the seats at the group of tables viewing the simulation battle. He's in the chair closest to the door to the elevator to where you find Greevil. There is also another trainer named Loket in the first seat at the table at the opposite corner of the room as Kaller. Dome-1F ------- *Cipher R&D Kaller: L44 Corsola, L44 Tentacruel, L44 Cradily, L44 Milotic, L42 Gyarados *Cipher R&D Loket: L44 Shiftry, L44 Granbull, L44 Miltank, L41 Armaldo, L43 Slaking [End of input by WhiscashLord] When you are ready, take the elevator here to fight Greevil. You must defeat him twice in order to complete the game. Greevil is surprised that you alone derailed every one of Cipher's well-laid plans, though he admits the news broadcast by ONBS didn't do him any favours. However, Greevil intends to initiate the final stage of his plan to conquer the world by creating an army of Shadow Pokemon that work independently on his orders alone without having to rely on underlings. He introduces you to his faithful servant - the one that shall become the central figure of his army - Shadow Lugia. Greevil claims that this Lugia is the first of many Shadow Pokemon that cannot be Purified. Now, he laughs that it is time to celebrate the completion of his plan in advance... by unleashing Shadow Lugia (AKA XD001) on you! +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | BOSS BATTLE: GRAND MASTER GREEVIL | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ ________________________________________________ | POKEMON | TYPE | ------------------------------------------------- | L50+ Lugia (S) | Psychic/Flying | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes and Strategy ------------------ Shadow Lugia is the most powerful Shadow Pokemon you've had to face so far. Fortunately, you can simply throw your Master Ball to end this battle as quickly as it started. If you don't want to use the Master Ball for some reason, note that Lugia is a strong defensive wall and can still hit hard with Shadow Blast/Storm. I recommend having loads of healing items and balls, since there is another boss battle just after this one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Of course, the Grand Master isn't going to go down that easily. Shocked that you have Snagged his Shadow Lugia, Greevil vows to see to the destruction of your Pokemon. Now's your chance to catch another good Normal-Type (Tauros). Now is also an opportunity to get a good Electric/Flying Pokemon (Zapdos). MY PARTY ___________________ | POKEMON | +-------------------+ | L43 Electabuzz (S)| | L49 Ampharos | | L67 Espeon | | L48 Houndoom | | L49 Walrein | | L50 Lugia (S) | +-------------------+ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | FINAL BOSS: GRAND MASTER GREEVIL | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ ________________________________________________ | POKEMON | TYPE | ------------------------------------------------- | L46+ Rhydon (S) | Rock/Ground | | L50+ Moltres (S) | Fire/Flying | | L46+ Exeggutor (S) | Grass/Psychic | | L46+ Tauros (S) | Normal | | L50+ Articuno (S) | Ice/Flying | | L50+ Zapdos (S) | Electric/Flying | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes and Strategy ------------------ You now face one of the game's biggest challenges - Snagging a full party of Shadow Pokemon. It sounds extremely difficult, but it can be done much easier if you use your newly-acquired Shadow Lugia and Electabuzz as a team. When the battle begins, switch in Shadow Lugia before Greevil can use Shadow Hold. Most of the time, enemy Shadow Moves will be directed towards Lugia, so you should be able to use Electabuzz's Shadow Half to weaken the Shadow Pokemon enough to be able to Snag them. Be ready with Revives and Moomoo Milks in case Greevil manages to cause some critical hits on your Pokemon. I advise leaving Tauros out (its Shadow Rush won't do much damage) to avoid facing 2 Legendary Birds at a time. I also suggest getting Rhydon out of the way first, as it knows the annoying Shadow Panic and may have the Lightningrod ability. Don't worry about knocking out a few Shadow Pokemon, though - you can always come back for them later. In my opinion, the capture ranking of Greevil's Shadow Pokemon, from easiest to hardest, is as follows: 1. Tauros 2. Exeggutor 3. Rhydon 4. Moltres 5. Articuno 6. Zapdos ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Once you defeat Greevil, you can enjoy the ending. Congrats on completing this game (aside from the post-game content, of course). Before the credits roll, you'll be asked if you want to save your game. Do so if you want to record your progress, though nobody will acknowledge Cipher's defeat and you may return to Citadark Isle to fight Greevil again. =============================================================================== 4.17 - Aftermath =============================================================================== POKEMON HQ LAB -------------- *Myth Trainer Eagun: L45 Pichu x2, L50 Pikachu x2, L55 Raichu x2 *Supertrainer Afred: L50 Furret, L50 Noctowl, L50 Ninjask, L50 Shedinja AGATE VILLAGE ------------- *Cooltrainer Cida: L50 Wigglytuff, L50 Azumarill, L50 Togetic PHENAC STADIUM -------------- *Cooltrainer Equin: L50 Sneasel, L50 Grumpig, L50 Spinda When you re-load your last save, you'll appear back in the Pokemon HQ Lab. Walk around a bit and you'll receive an email from Eagun about the Orre Colosseum, but the email is cut off. Lol, seems Eagun still hasn't gone the hang of modern technology. Go outside and meet him near the steps. He says he has organised a Colosseum event, but before he can elaborate any further, he must duel you to test your skills. Once you defeat Eagun (his Pikachu-themed team uses the Rain Dance/Thunder combo with a few surprises like Volt Tackle and Brick Break, but he shouldn't give you too much trouble), he will be impressed and invite you to participate in Orre Colosseum. You can find the hardest opponents in the game there. Check the Colosseums section for more information. If you can win Round 1 of the Orre Colosseum, you can do the Lucky Egg Side Quest. Check the Misc. Stuff section for more information. You may be strong enough now to clear Areas 7-9 of Mt. Battle (although Area 10 will probably be too hard for you until your Pokemon are Level 70+). Although Cipher claims that Shadow Lugia can't be Purified, you can do this. If you have a Maximum Tempo on every Set in the Purify Chamber, place Shadow Lugia in one of the Sets. You'll say "Something's different about the Lugia! Maybe...". You now have the opportunity to Purify this Lugia. Unlike other Shadow Pokemon, it is Purified instantly without having to go through the stages of Purification. You can now trade with the GBA games (specifically Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/ FireRed/LeafGreen). Just go to the basement of Phenac City's Pokemon Centre and you can start trading there. If you want to train Pokemon from a GBA game in Orre and/or bolster your team here, now might be a good time to do some trading. If you can Snag AND Purify the 83 Shadow Pokemon, there will be an extra scene before the credits if you defeat Grand Master Greevil again. The extra scene shows you placing the Snag Machine in the Pokemon HQ as a sign of completing the objective of Purifying all the Shadow Pokemon. If you talk to Professor Krane and Lily, they'll congratulate you on doing this objective. If you speak with the Fortune Teller, Fateen, in Pyrite Town, she'll be amazed that you have Purified all the Shadow Pokemon. You can obtain the final Battle CD, Battle CD 46, in the place where Greevil's chair was. And that's about it. There's nothing much else to do in the game other than improving your team, playing Battle Bingo, etc. ############################################################################### 5. Colosseums ############################################################################### This section has information on the Colosseums that you can participate in. At first, you'll only be able to access the Pyrite Colosseum. However, as you progress through the game, you'll unlock the latter two. Note: Like Mt. Battle, your Pokemon are healed between battles. =============================================================================== 5.01 - PYRITE COLOSSEUM =============================================================================== How to Unlock: Available from the start Difficulty: Easy-Normal In a knockout battle challenge, you must conduct Trainer battles one after the other.

Difficulty: Hard-Very Hard Like other Colosseums, battles are held in knockout style and you must beat 4 Trainers in a row, but there are much stricter conditions as listed below. *You are permitted to battle with four Pokemon. *Shadow Pokemon are not allowed. *You may not enter two or more of the same kind of Pokemon. For example, two kinds of Starmie are not permitted. *The following Legendary Pokemon are forbidden: Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Celebi, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Jirachi, and Deoxys. *Any Pokemon holding a Soul Dew will not allowed to enter. *You are required to enter with a full party of six Pokemon. *Pokemon are not permitted to hold the same kinds of items. For example, two or more kinds of Leftovers are prohibited. If you win a challenge, you may advance to the next group of opponents. If you lose, you will face the same group of opponents again in your next challenge. If you manage to win a round, you will be rewarded with Poke Coupons. At Orre Colosseum, the opponent's Pokemon will be Level 60 if your party of six Pokemon are Level 60 or below. However, unlike other Colosseums, if your Pokemon are above Level 60, the opponent's Pokemon will be the same level as your highest level Pokemon. No level advantage here. Like Mt. Battle, if you win the challenge, you will earn Poke Coupons. In addition, you'll earn a TM for each of your seven successful challenges. After winning Rounds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, you'll recieve TM06 (Toxic), TM27 (Return), TM48 (Skill Swap), TM36 (Sludge Bomb), TM44 (Rest), TM47 (Steel Wing), and TM02 (Dragon Claw) respectively.

Reptobismol's Orre Colosseum Guide on neoseeker.com Minority Suspect's Orre Colosseum Guide on smogon.com shiny zangoose's FireRed/LeafGreen 2vs2 Team Building FAQ ############################################################################### 6. Misc. Stuff ############################################################################### This section lists the stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else in the walkthrough. To complete the majority of them, you must beat the Final Boss first. =============================================================================== 6.01 - WANDERER MIROR B. =============================================================================== If you knocked out Shadow Pokemon and "[name of Shadow Pokemon] fled somewhere...," you will be able to Snag it from Wanderer Miror B. He usually shows up at Pyrite Town Colosseum, Realgam Tower Colosseum, and the three Poke Spots. At the Colosseums, you can only Snag one Shadow Pokemon, but you can Snag two of them when you challenge him at the Poke Spots. When Miror B. appears at the Colosseums, he will battle you in place of one of the Trainers. You have unlimited chances to Snag Shadow Pokemon from Miror B. I advise saving your game before challenging Miror B. in the Colosseums. That way, if you knock out a Shadow Pokemon, you can re-load your last save to get another chance at Snagging one without having to wait for him to show up again. You can use the Miror Radar to detect Wanderer Miror B.'s presence. Go to the Key Items menu and check the Miror Radar. If the game says "There is no response at all...", "There isn't much of a response..." or "It's responding just a little!", walk around the location you are in for 15-20 minutes. You can turn the Control Stick clockwise repeatedly to speed up your walking. As you are walking, the Miror Radar should eventually say "Oh! Miror B. may have appeared!" at random. If you check the Radar, the game will say "Miror B. seems to be at [name of location]." When you get a signal, you have only a short time to go to Miror B.'s location before he disappears. Sometimes, however, the Miror Radar will say that Miror B. is at a particular Poke Spot, but when you arrive there, only Trudly and Folly will be there, so you have to leave the Poke Spot and walk around for 15-20 minutes to find Miror B. again. Miror B.'s team is full of Pokemon that use Leech Seed and Fake Out, making them all Annoyers. He will set up weather combos like Sunny Day + Solarbeam and Rain Dance + Hydro Pump, taking advantage of the Chlorophyll/Rain Dish/ Swift Swim abilities. Miror B. uses a random team at the Colosseums, but the team he uses at the Poke Spots is concrete. Some of his teams are listed below. REALGAM TOWER ------------- *L40 Ludicolo, L40 Jumpluff, L40 Sudowoodo, Shadow *L40 Nosepass, L40 Jumpluff, L40 Lombre, L40 Sudowoodo, Shadow *L40 Shiftry, L40 Jumpluff, L40 Electrode, L40 Ludicolo, Shadow PYRITE TOWN ----------- *L20 Lombre, L20 Ludicolo, L20 Voltorb, Shadow *L20 Lombre, L20 Hoppip, L20 Voltorb, L20 Sudowoodo, Shadow *L20 Nuzleaf, L20 Hoppip, L20 Voltorb, L20 Ludicolo, Shadow POKE SPOTS ---------- *L40 Ludicolo x2, Shadow x2 When you have acquired 82 Shadow Pokemon, your Miror Radar will detect Wanderer Miror B.'s presence at Gateon Port when you arrive at the place. He's at the top of the Gateon Lighthouse. He has the last Shadow Pokemon of its kind - the Dragonite that Trudly and Folly stole from Cipher - in his team. When you make it to the top of the Lighthouse, you'll hear Miror B.'s theme music and see him dancing with his Ludicolos. If you speak with him, he'll complain that you've messed up his dance, and challenges you one last time. +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | BOSS BATTLE: WANDERER MIROR B. | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ ________________________________________________ | POKEMON | TYPE | ------------------------------------------------- | L57 Ludicolo x5 | Water/Grass | | L55+ Dragonite (S) | Dragon/Flying | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes and Strategy ------------------ Your final battle with Miror B. won't be easy. His team is MUCH tougher than before. Use Pokemon over Level 60 in this battle. Miror B.'s Ludicolos each have Fake Out for immobilizing your Pokemon. He will use the Rain Dance/Hydro Pump combo, taking advantage of the Swift Swim/Rain Dish abilities once more. The Ludicolos know a variety of attacks (Hydro Pump, Giga Drain, Waterfall, Ice Punch, Thunderpunch and Seismic Toss) with one of them having Counter. They are weak to Bug, Poison and Flying moves, but Ice Punch and Thunderpunch will take care of Flying-types, while a Rain Dance-boosted Hydro Pump will faint any Bugs and Poisons. Even neutral Pokemon like Normals and Psychics won't last long against these attacks. Therefore, your best bet is to sweep Miror B.'s team before he gets a chance to attack. Fast Flying Pokemon (eg. Zapdos) work well with Drill Peck or Aerial Ace. Lugia is a good defensive wall with Recover and TM16 (Light Screen) while it can cause some damage with Gust/Aeroblast (although Lugia doesn't learn Aeroblast until Level 77). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you finally defeat Miror B. and Snag his Shadow Dragonite, he'll complain that you Snagged Cipher's last Shadow Pokemon. As Miror B. leaves in the elevator, he realises that there is a device in his hair. After he destroys it, the game says "Nothing appears on the Miror Radar anymore and it appears to be broken." You don't need it to find Miror B. anyway, since he will now be dancing forever in Gateon Port's Krabby Club from this point (he won't battle you, though). =============================================================================== 6.02 - LUCKY EGG =============================================================================== After you beat the Final Boss AND win Round 1 of the Orre Colosseum, you can do the Lucky Egg Side Quest. You'll recieve an e-mail from Eagun's wife Beluh. If you go to Beluh's house, she'll explain that a strange affliction seems to have taken root among the Pokemon in Agate Village. There are five Pokemon in Agate Village in total (Combusken, Poochyena, Taillow, Lotad and Wobbuffet). After talking to the five Pokemon in Agate Village, speak with the old man in the Pokemon Centre. He admits that he gave Pokemon Translators to the owners of the afflicted Pokemon. He also mentions that he recieved the Translators from Dr. Kaminko. It seems these Translators are behind the strange affliction. Go to Dr. Kaminko's House. He gives you the Voice Case 1 and asks you to play it at the Pokemon that cries in the same way in order to disenage the Translator. Play the Voice Case 1 at the Combusken. Obtain the Voice Case 2 from Dr. Kaminko and play it at the Poochyena. Obtain the Voice Case 3 and play it at the Taillow. Obtain the Voice Case 4 and play it at the Wobbuffet. The Voice Case will have no effect. Speak with Dr. Kaminko. He'll take the Voice Case 4 from you and throw it away. You'll recieve an e-mail from Megg of ONBS. Megg informs you that her Shroomish has suddenly lost its voice. Obtain the Voice Case 5 from Dr. Kaminko and play it at the Shroomish in Pyrite Town in the ONBS Headquarters. Megg informs you that this phenomenon has been seen among Pokemon in places like Gateon Port and Phenac City, too. Obtain the Cry Analyzer from Dr. Kaminko. He explains that the Pokemon Translators are individually protected with secret passwords. He admits that he's forgotten what they were. If you use the Cry Analyzer on an afflicted Pokemon, a question will appear. The correct answer to the question is the secret password. If the question is answered correctly, the Pokemon Translator will detach. At Gateon Port, use the Cry Analyzer on Oddish, Magnemite, Krabby, and Krabby. Sun Stone, Magneton, Krabilly, and Krabetty are the respective correct answers to the questions. At Phenac City, use the Analyzer on Azumarill, Castform, Seedot, and Linoone. Marill, Weather Pokemon, Seedot, and No. 1 are the respective correct answers to the questions. At Agate Village, use the Cry Analyzer on the Wobbuffet. Unfortunately, the Pokemon Translator on Wobbuffet appears to be broken down. Speak with Dr. Kaminko. He suggests talking to Wobbuffet with a Pokemon's voice. Speak with Wobbuffet to detach the Pokemon Translator. Return to Beluh's house and talk to her. She'll show her appreciation by giving you a Lucky Egg, an item that is otherwise frustratingly hard to obtain in Gen III. The Lucky Egg is an item that allows the holder to receive 1.5 times the EXP every time it fights. It's useful for training up Pokemon quicker for tough battles. This is handy for traded Pokemon, in particular, as they already receive 1.5 times the EXP, so their EXP will be boosted to around double the normal amount. =============================================================================== 6.03 - POKE SPOTS =============================================================================== When you first visit Rock Poke Spot, an OBNS reporter named Pofty says Duking is the driving force behind the booming popularity of wild Pokemon in Pyrite Town. Duking explains how one goes about attracting wild Pokemon to a Poke Spot and asks you to help demonstrate. The stages of catching wild Pokemon are as follows: 1) You need Poke Snacks (Duking gives you 10). 2) Lay those Poke Snacks on the plate nearby. 3) Leave the Poke Spot. 4) Eventually, a wild Pokemon will come along. The more Poke Snacks you lay out, the longer a Pokemon will stay to eat, making it that much easier to catch. The Spot Monitor lets you know what's happening at any Poke Spot wherever you are. Duking gives you one as thanks for participating in the demonstration. When a wild Pokemon appears, your Spot Monitor will respond and alert you. When you get a signal, you have only a short time to go to a Poke Spot before the Pokemon eats all your Poke Snacks and disappears. If your Spot Monitor's signals are slow, it's a Common Pokemon. If they aren't, it's a Rare/Super Rare Pokemon. You can capture these Pokemon unlimited times. Their levels range between 10 and 23. You can buy more Poke Snacks from most Poke Marts after ONBS is liberated from Cipher. POKE SPOTS _______________________________________________ | POKEMON | LOCATION | RARITY | +-----------------------------------------------+ | Aron | Cave | Rare | | Gligar | Rock | Rare | | Hoppip | Oasis | Common | | Phanpy | Oasis | Rare | | Sandshrew | Rock | Common | | Surskit | Oasis | Super Rare | | Trapinch | Rock | Super Rare | | Wooper | Cave | Super Rare | | Zubat | Cave | Common | +-----------------------------------------------+ Pokemon rarity source: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9_Spot When you first visit Oasis Poke Spot, Duking admits there are several rare Pokemon that hardly ever show up at Poke Spots. He's having a hard time trying to catch Trapinch, Surskit, and Wooper. If you able to capture these Pokemon, Duking can will trade you a Level 20 Meditite, Shuckle, and Larvitar respectively. Larvitar's the best of the bunch, as it will evolve into the formidable Tyranitar if trained well. As Duking leaves, he marks the final Poke Spot: Cave. You can find Duking again in his house in Pyrite Town after ONBS is liberated from Cipher (it's identified by the letter "G" on the outside). There is an open door inside that leads to a cave where you will find him. A Munchlax will sometimes appear randomly at Poke Spots, eating your Poke Snacks. Its owner (a herbalist who owns a shop on the second floor of the Gateon Poke Mart) will give you 10 Poke Snacks and a random herbal medicine from her shop in compensation each time. You can't keep Munchlax, as it originates from the Sinnoh region and the GBA games lack that region's Pokedex. You can now buy herbal medicines from the herbalist (her Munchlax was blocking the way previously). After you meet a Bonsly on the S.S. Libra, it will randomly appear at any Poke Spot. When you find it, walk up to it slowly to be able to capture it and return it to its owner. You'll recieve the Bonsly Card as a reward. This card allows you to use Bonsly in Battle Bingo. Note that you can't keep it after a game ends, since you can't keep Pokemon you get in Battle Bingo. In addition, Bonsly originates from the Sinnoh region and the GBA games lack that region's Pokedex. ============================================================================== 6.04 - PHENAC PRE GYM ============================================================================== When you first enter the S.S. Libra, Justy will send you an e-mail telling you that the Pre Gym has reopened. Inside the Pre Gym, he explains that you must defeat four Trainers in a row first to earn the privilege of challenging him. PRE GYM ------- *Cooltrainer Quelor: L21 Ledyba, L21 Spoink, L21 Bellossom *Cooltrainer Teslor: L22 Sunflora, L22 Furret, L22 Linoone *Supertrainer Nopel: L23 Kecleon, L23 Azumarill, L23 Yanma *Matron Klaus: L24 Plusle, L24 Minun, L24 Absol After defeating the four Trainers, Justy asks if you want to battle him right away. If you're ready, say "Yes". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Boss Battle: Pre Gym Leader Justy ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | POKEMON | TYPE | ------------------------------------------------- | L29 Cacnea | Grass | | L29 Sandslash | Ground | | L29 Gligar | Ground/Flying | | L29 Nosepass | Rock | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes and Strategy ------------------ Justy's strategy revolves around Double Team and Sandstorm. Thanks to the Sand Veil ability, the evasiveness of Cacnea, Sandslash and Gligar increases in a sandstorm. Although Nosepass doesn't have Sand Veil as an Ability, its Magnet Pull can stop you from switching out your Steel-type Pokemon, so watch out. If you can attack Justy's Pokemon with their weaknesses, you can knock them out before he has a chance to start his strategy. If Justy's Pokemon start using Double Team, try to take them out before your attacks start missing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After defeating Justy, he'll give you a Lum Berry and TM32 (Double Team). Justy congratulates you on your victory and mentions that this battle reminds him of a battle he had with somebody five years ago. He's referring to Wes from Colosseum. =============================================================================== 6.05 - AGATE MOVE TUTOR =============================================================================== In Agate Village, there is a cave in the southwestern side (Bodybuilder Dosk is standing near it). Inside, you can find a female Move Tutor called the Teacher Lady. She can teach your Pokemon moves that once exclusive to Gens I and II (Note: She can only teach these moves once). Check PSGilmore's Move Tutor Compatibility Guide for more information. ___________________________________________________ | Move | How to Unlock | +---------------------------------------------------+ | Mimic | Available from the start | | Thunder Wave | Same as Mimic | | Seismic Toss | Same as Mimic | | Icy Wind | Enter Pyrite Town | | Substitute | Same as Icy Wind | | Dream Eater | Same as Icy Wind | | Swagger | Obtain the Music Disc | | Body Slam | Same as Swagger | | Nightmare | Same as Swagger | | Sky Attack | Talk to Hordel at Outskirt Stand | | Double-Edge | Enter Cipher Key Lair | | Selfdestruct | Enter Citadark Isle | +---------------------------------------------------+ Source: Prima's Official Guide =============================================================================== 6.06 - AGATE DAY CARE =============================================================================== After you free the citizens of Phenac City, you can visit the Pokemon Day Care in Agate Village and leave one Pokemon there. It's just across the bridge from Eagun's house (the house shaped like a tree). While your Pokemon is in the Day Care, its EXP will increase. The EXP are determined by the number of steps you take. You must pay $100 for the service and an additional $100 for each time your Pokemon levels up. For example, if my Cyndaquil was Level 10 and became Level 12, I would have to pay $300 for the service. If your Pokemon reaches its evolution level, it won't evolve. For example, if my Magikarp was Level 5 and became Level 20, it wouldn't have evolved into Gyarados. If your Pokemon learns new moves, the top ones will be erased, so be careful. =============================================================================== 6.07 - JOVI'S DIARY =============================================================================== This section contains information about Jovi's Diary, which can be found at Dr. Kaminko's House. The diary updates as you progress through the game, so check it often to read new entries. There are 7 entries in total. Some people on the GameFAQs message board have been wondering about Jovi's Random Diary 1. Jovi mentions that the Pokemon HQ Lab has a secret room somewhere. The secret room is the same room where the Master Ball was/is. If you go to the Pokemon HQ after destroying the Cipher Key Lair, Prof. Krane will open the entrance to the secret room. The 7 diary entries are listed below. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Jovi's Random Diary Entry: No. 1 Info: Top secret!

Chobin's a cheapskate! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Jovi's Random Diary Entry: No. 3 Info: (This entry is written in a different style than Jovi's.)

When is big brother coming home? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Jovi's Random Diary Entry: No. 6 Info: Big brother seems to be relaxed. Jovi thinks the adventure is not so hard anymore. Maybe it's Jovi's turn for adventure. Jovi should ask Mommy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Jovi's Random Diary Entry: No. 7 Info: (Chobin's handwriting again.) Thank goodness. Chobin is happy to see that Jovi girl go off on an adventure. Dr. Kaminko can focus on his research again, and Chobin will serve as the doctor's assistant. Hey!

Chobin can't write in this! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ =============================================================================== 6.08 - MEW MOVE TUTOR =============================================================================== A Move Tutor at Mt. Battle can teach Mew moves for the cost of 5,000 Poké Coupons. This can only be done after beating the game, but it can be done multiple times. Unlike other Move Tutors, this one does not give the player a direct choice in what Mew learns. Instead, he asks a few questions and then offers a full set of moves for Mew. This Move Tutor can teach Mew any move it can otherwise learn by TM, HM, or from any other Generation III Move Tutor, plus one of the moves below: Move Faint Attack Fake Out Hypnosis Night Shade Role Play Zap Cannon Source: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Move_Tutor#Mew_Move_Tutor ############################################################################### 7. Mini-Games ############################################################################### There are two Mini-Games in this game called Battle Bingo and Battle CD Sims. You can play them at Realgam Tower. =============================================================================== 7.01 - BATTLE BINGO =============================================================================== Battle Bingo is a strategy game that is played on a Bingo Card with 16 Panels arranged in a 4-by-4 grid. The 16 Panels are turned over and exposed one by one. Flip over Panels to form a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line to score a Bingo. Keep forming Bingo lines until all Panels are flipped over or you run out of moves. If all Panels are flipped over, 10 Bingo lines will be completed, and you win the game. At the start of the game, you will have one Pokemon and two Master Balls. Your Pokemon will also have Entry Points (EP). To flip over a Panel, 1 EP is required. If all your Pokemon use up their EP, no more Panels can be flipped over. At that time, it's game over for you. On the first turn, you may select any 1 of the 16 Panels and flip it over. The next Panel that can be flipped must be next to an already-flipped-over Panel. Think ahead and plan the sequence for flipping Panels. There are two kinds of Panels. One kind is marked with a Pokemon type and the other with a question mark. If you try to flip a Panel marked with a Pokemon type, a hidden Pokemon will appear. You must battle this Pokemon with the Pokemon you entered in the game. The battle will be a strictly one-on-one m match with no switching of Pokemon. If you win the battle or catch the opposing Pokemon with a Master Ball, the contested Panel can be flipped over. If the opposing Pokemon is caught, you may choose it as your own for Panel battles from the next Panel on. The "?" Panels can be opened just by using 1 EP. They hide EP and Master Balls for the player's use. If you complete a line of flipped-over Panels, you score a Bingo. You are awarded a single EP for each Bingo line. If you quit the game before the end, you are given Poke Coupons matched to the number of Bingo lines you made. If you complete the Card, you are awarded a bonus for leftover EP and Master Balls in addition to the regular prize. If all your Pokemon run out of EP, it's game over since you will no longer be able to flip Panels. In that case, you will not be given any Poke Coupons that you may have earned in that game. Check Charlie_Supreme's Battle Bingo FAQ for more information on Battle Bingo. After returning Bonsly to its owner, you'll recieve the Bonsly Card as a reward. This card allows you to use Bonsly in Battle Bingo. =============================================================================== 7.02 - BATTLE SIMS =============================================================================== You may conduct Battle Sims using Battle CDs. Set your Battle CD in the device. That's all you need to do to take on a virtual Trainer in battle. Each Battle CD contains Pokemon for you to use. You'll be sure to experience all kinds of battles. Think about the type matchups and movesets of your Pokemon when you make the challenge. After a clearing a Battle CD, you'll receive a reward. Check the Battle CD Locations section for more information. If you can clear all the Battle CDs, you'll recieve 15,000 Poke Coupons. Certain Battle CDs are dual-sided, so you must clear Side A before you can clear Side B. If you want detailed locations of the Battle CDs, check the relevant parts of the Walkthrough. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Battle CD 01 Title: Flying Vs.

Appendices ############################################################################### =============================================================================== 8.01 - LIST OF POKEMON =============================================================================== This section lists data on all the Pokemon that you can acquire in this game (specifically Shadow, Wild and Gift Pokemon). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Shadow Pokemon =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Shadow Pokemon have Regular Moves (RM) that would usually require breeding or TMs to teach. For example, Snorlax has Curse (an Egg Move) and Zapdos has Thunderbolt (a TM). When a Shadow Pokemon is Purified, its Shadow Moves (SwM) are replaced with Special Moves (SlM) that you wouldn't normally be able to teach it. The Special Moves can't be taught to other Pokemon. For example, Farfetch'd has Baton Pass (a homage to the Farfetch'd from Pokemon Stadium 2).

PURIFY CHAMBER ############################################################################### The Purify Chamber is a facility in which Shadow Pokemon undergoes Purification through contact with Regular Pokemon. In total, there are 9 Sets in the Purify Chamber. One Shadow Pokemon can be placed in the centre of each Set. The Shadow Pokemon is referred to as the Vistor. Up to four Regular Pokemon can be placed around the Vistor. Depending on the number and kinds of Regular Pokemon, and how they are positioned, the pace of Purification will be affected. Stand on the circular plate in the centre of the room, then press the A Button to display the hologram. To view the hologram of another Set, select the Set number using the L or R Buttons, then select "Switch". You may also edit a Set directly from its hologram. Select the number of the Set to be edited, then select "Edit." Unlike the Relic Stone in Agate Village, multiple Shadow Pokemon can be purified at once and purification can be done without needing them in your party. When a Shadow Pokemon is purified in Purify Chamber, it is transferred to your PC. The type matchups among the regular Pokemon surrounding the Shadow Pokemon determine the "Tempo" of that Set. A Set with high Tempo is the key to Purifying Shadow Pokemon efficiently. To make a Set with good Tempo, the important thing is to place as many regular Pokemon as possible. As mentioned, type matchups among the regular Pokemon are also important. The regular Pokemon should form a ring in which each Pokemon has a type advantage to the one next to it in one direction. The speed at which a Shadow Pokemon is Purified is referred to as a "Flow." In order to heighten Flow, it's necessary to boost the Tempo of the Set. The direction in which the Visitor in the centre is facing is also important. For the best Flow, the Shadow Pokemon should be facing a regular Pokemon type against which its attacks would be "super effective." For example, a Shadow Voltorb should be facing a Water/Flying Pokemon. Oddly enough, Normal is treated as strong against itself in the Purify Chamber, so it's possible to achieve a Max Tempo/Flow with just Normal-type Pokemon. When there are four Regular Pokemon surrounding the Shadow Pokemon, their type matchups affect Purification. If all four Regular Pokemon are of advantageous types, the Set's Purification Tempo is boosted to the top speed. When the Set's top speed is reached, it is called a "Best Circle." If more than one Set reaches the Best Circle status, there appears to be an added bonus. The Purification speed surpasses calculated scores. This is the key to Purifying Shadow Lugia. Although Cipher claims that Shadow Lugia can't be Purified, you can do this. If you have a Maximum Tempo on every Set in the Purify Chamber, place Shadow Lugia in one of the Sets. You'll say "Something's different about the Lugia! Maybe...". You now have the opportunity to Purify this Lugia. Unlike other Shadow Pokemon, it is Purified instantly without having to go through the stages of Purification. The Purification time is determined by the number of steps you take in the various locations of the World Map. You can turn the Control Stick anti/ clockwise repeatedly to speed up the process. The outside of Cipher Key Lair and S.S. Libra are examples of good locations to do this. Examples of Maximum Tempo/Flow Sets are listed below, though some use Pokemon that I traded in from a GBA game. Maximum Tempo Sets ------------------ Wooper > Houndoom > Ledyba > Hoppip (Water/Ground > Dark/Fire > Bug/Flying > Grass/Flying) Surskit > Sandshrew > Ampharos > Hoppip (Bug/Water > Ground > Electric > Grass/Flying) Seedot > Sandshrew > Elekid > Lapras (Grass > Ground > Electric > Water/Ice) Hoppip > Hoppip > Hoppip > Hoppip (Grass/Flying > Grass/Flying > Grass/Flying > Grass/Flying) Hoppip > Phanpy > Aron > Vulpix (Grass/Flying > Ground > Steel/Rock > Fire) Pikachu > Skarmory > Hoppip > Onix (Electric > Steel/Flying > Grass/Flying > Rock/Ground) Spheal > Phanpy > Numel > Shroomish (Water/Ice > Ground > Fire/Ground > Grass) Articuno > Moltres > Exeggutor > Makuhita (Ice/Flying > Fire/Flying > Grass/Psychic > Fighting) Plusle > Skarmory > Tropius > Golem (Electric > Steel/Flying > Grass/Flying > Rock/Ground) Hariyama > Houndoom > Ralts > Golbat (Fighting > Dark/Fire > Psychic > Poison/Flying) Seedot > Surskit > Baltoy > Gulpin (Grass > Bug/Water > Ground/Psychic > Poison) Vulpix > Ledyba > Hoppip > Carvanha (Fire > Bug/Flying > Grass/Flying > Dark/Water) Numel > Zubat > Hoppip > Gligar (Fire/Ground > Poison/Flying > Grass/Flying > Ground/Flying) Phanpy > Ampharos > Zubat > Paras (Ground > Electric > Poison/Flying > Bug/Grass) Swinub > Gligar > Mawile > Aron (Ice/Ground > Ground/Flying > Steel > Steel/Rock) Surskit > Hoppip > Aron > Natu (Bug/Water > Grass/Flying > Steel/Rock > Psychic/Flying) Spinarak > Roselia > Seel > Sandshrew (Bug/Poison > Grass/Poison > Water > Ground) Solrock > Growlithe > Weepinbell > Trapinch (Rock/Psychic > Fire> Grass/Poison > Ground) Maximum Tempo + Flow Sets ------------------------- Wooper > Houndoom > Ledyba > Chikorita (Water/Ground > Dark/Fire > Bug/Flying > Grass) Surskit > Sandshrew > Ampharos > Hoppip (Bug/Water > Ground > Electric > Grass/Flying) Seedot > Sandshrew > Elekid > Lapras (Grass > Ground > Electric > Water/Ice) Hoppip > Wooper > Electabuzz > Snorunt (Grass/Flying > Water/Ground > Electric > Ice) Hoppip > Phanpy > Mawile > Vulpix (Grass/Flying > Ground > Steel > Fire) Pikachu > Skarmory > Paras > Onix (Electric > Steel/Flying > Bug/Grass > Rock/Ground) Spheal > Phanpy > Cyndaquil > Shroomish (Water/Ice > Ground > Fire > Grass) Articuno > Growlithe > Exeggutor > Makuhita (Ice/Flying > Fire > Grass/Psychic > Fighting) Plusle > Skarmory > Weepinbell > Golem (Electric > Steel/Flying > Grass/Poison > Rock/Ground) The Purify Chamber can be accessed via PC or at the HQ Lab; the main difference is that the HQ Lab includes a holographic display of the Pokémon stored in the chamber, and the final purification step can only be performed directly at the HQ Lab.

RE-MATCH TRAINERS ############################################################################### There are a lot of Re-Match Trainers in this game. You can challenge them unlimited times, but you must leave the place they're in first before they can be re-battled. Their final teams and locations after defeating the Final Boss are listed below. You can battle most of these Trainers before you beat the Final Boss, but they will have much weaker Pokemon than what is shown here. Greevil is listed here as well, since once you Snag all his Shadow Pokemon, he will have a permanent party of Regular Pokemon from then on (his dialogue remains the same, though).

Mt. Battle ############################################################################### Mt. Battle is a place of training. It is divided into ten Areas, each with ten Zones. In other words, there are one hundred Zones in total. Challengers must battle through these Zones one by one. On completing each Area, the challenger is rewarded with Poke Coupons. Between each Area is a Break Room. There is a PC there for your free use. Your Pokemon are healed between battles. If you want to return to the reception counter, just approach the Abra for a free Teleport. When you first arrive at Mt. Battle, you'll be qualified to enter Areas 1 through 3. To enter Area 4 or higher, you must complete the first three Areas. Once you clear Area 4 or higher, you may make a challenge in the next Area or enter any of the cleared Areas. If you complete an Area, you will earn Poke Coupons. Check the Mt. Battle Coupon Chart for information on the number of Poke Coupons you can obtain in each Area. If you use Legendary Pokemon, such as Lugia and Ho-Oh, the number of Poke Coupons will be reduced. With the exception of Areas 1 and 10, you'll earn a TM for completing the Areas as well. You can only obtain these TMs once. After completing Areas 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 , 7, 8, and 9, you'll recieve TM03 (Water Pulse), TM34 (Shock Wave), TM42 (Facade), TM39 (Rock Tomb), TM50 (Overheat), TM04 (Calm Mind), TM08 (Bulk Up), and TM40 (Aerial Ace) respectively. You'll recieve the Macho Brace for completing Area 1. The following charts show what you can purchase at the Coupon Exchange and how many Poke Coupons you can obtain in each Area (Note: The amount of coupons rewarded is reduced by 15% for every Legendary Pokemon in your party).

In addition to getting one of the Gold/Silver/Crystal starters, your party of Pokemon will each recieve a Ribbon for completing the 100-Trainer Challenge. You must make a new challenge at Mt. Battle and beat it WITHOUT changing your party of Pokemon, using the PC or leaving an Area at any time. You can save your game after a battle and continue where you left off. You can also change the order of your party. Level 60+ Pokemon should be strong enough to win the 100-Trainer Challenge, as they'll likely have gained 5-10 levels by the time you reach the last few Areas. Check swordsmanguy123's Mt. Battle FAQ for more information. ############################################################################### 12. Frequently Asked Questions ############################################################################### Q: Can I trade Pokemon with Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/FireRed/LeafGreen? A: Yes. You must beat the Final Boss first, though. In addition, Emerald players must obtain the National Pokedex, FireRed/LeafGreen players need to have completed the Pokemon Network Centre's Network Machine on One Island, and Ruby/Sapphire players need to have entered the Hall of Fame. You can then go to the basement of Phenac City's Pokemon Centre and start trading there. You must have saved your GBA game at a Pokemon Centre prior to doing this. Q: How do I Purify Shadow Lugia? A: You must have a Maximum Tempo on every Set in the Purify Chamber. Check the Purify Chamber section for more information. When you have done this, place Shadow Lugia in one of the Sets. You'll say "Something's different about the Lugia! Maybe...". You will now have the opportunity to Purify it. This can only be done at the Pokemon HQ. Q: How do I trigger the Lucky Egg Side Quest? A: You must beat the Final Boss AND win Round 1 of the Orre Colosseum. Check the Misc. Stuff section for more information. Q: Can I Snag any Shadow Pokemon that I missed? A: Yes. You have unlimited chances to Snag all Shadow Pokemon. If you knocked out Shadow Pokemon and "[name of Shadow Pokemon] fled somewhere...," you can Snag it from Wanderer Miror B. See the Misc. Stuff section for more information. If you missed Snagging any Shadow Pokemon from Wanderer Miror B., you can challenge him again. If the particular Shadow Pokemon didn't run away somewhere, you can challenge the Shadow Pokemon Trainers unlimited times to Snag them. They'll still have their Shadow Pokemon in their teams. Bodybuilder Kilen of Gateon Port, the Hexagon Brothers of Cipher Lab, and Grand Master Greevil of Citadark Isle are examples. Q: How do I get the Johto region starter Pokemon? A: If you can complete the Mt. Battle 100-Trainer Challenge, Master Battlus will ask you to choose one of the 3 Johto region starter Pokemon (Level 5 Chikorita, Cyndaquil or Totodile) as your prize. To get the other two, you must beat the 100-Trainer Challenge again two more times. You can only acquire each starter once. They will have the Elemental Hyper Beam attacks - Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, and Hydro Cannon - when you obtain them. If there isn't an empty slot in your party, they will be sent to your PC. You must make a new challenge at Mt. Battle and beat it WITHOUT changing your party of Pokemon, using the PC or leaving an Area at anytime. You can save your game after a battle and continue where you left off. You can also change the order of your party. Q: Is the unlimited Poke Ball trick in this game? A: No. Q: Will Pokemon, such as Kadabra and Haunter, evolve if they are traded from or to this game? A: Yes. Q: When can I get the Master Ball? A: Before heading for Citadark Isle, you'll recieve an e-mail from Professor Krane. Go to the Pokemon HQ, and he'll lead you to a secret room containing the Master Ball. Q: When can I Snag the Shadow Dragonite from Wanderer Miror B.? A: After you've acquired 82 Shadow Pokemon, you'll be able to Snag it from Miror B. at Gateon Port in the Lighthouse. See the Misc. Stuff section for more information. Q: Where can I find Bonsly? A: After seeing it on the S.S. Libra, Bonsly will appear randomly at Poke Spots. If you go up to it slowly, you'll be able to capture it and return it to its owner. You'll recieve the Bonsly Card as a reward. This card allows you to use Bonsly in Battle Bingo. Note that you can't keep it after a game ends, since you can't keep Pokemon you get in Battle Bingo. In addition, Bonsly originates from the Sinnoh region and the GBA games lack that region's Pokedex. Q: Where can I find Munchlax? A: Munchlax will appear randomly at Poke Spots, eating your Poke Snacks. Its owner (a herbalist who owns a shop on the second floor of the Gateon Poke Mart) will give you 10 Poke Snacks and a random herbal medicine from her shop in compensation. You can't keep Munchlax, as it originates from the Sinnoh region and the GBA games lack that region's Pokedex. You can now buy herbal medicines from the herbalist (her Munchlax was blocking the way previously). Q: Where is the Happiness Rater in this game? A: Gateon Port in the Krabby Club (upstairs). He's the sailor who let you have an Eeveelution Item near the start of the game. Q: Where is the Name Rater in this game? A: Agate Village in the Pokemon Day Care. Q: Can I breed Pokemon in this game? A: No. The Day Care in Agate Village allows you to leave only one Pokemon there, so it's not possible to breed Pokemon in this game. Q: Can I trade with Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow/Gold/Silver/Crystal? A: No. This game is ONLY compatible with Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/FireRed/ LeafGreen. Q: Will traded Pokemon disobey me in this game? A: No. Since there are no Gym Badges in this game, traded Pokemon will always obey you. For example, if you trade a Wooper for Duking's Larvitar, the traded Pokemon will obey you. This is probably why you can't trade with GBA players until you complete the game, since you could trade over Level 100 Pokemon to breeze through it. Q: Can [name of Pokemon] be caught in this game? A: Check the List of Pokemon section. If [name of Pokemon] isn't listed, you can't acquire it in this game. Q: What learnset format does this game follow? A: Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald format. Q: How many Pokemon can I obtain in this game? A: You can obtain 1 Eevee, 83 Shadow Pokemon, 9 wild Pokemon, 4 traded Pokemon, and 3 Gold/Silver/Crystal starter Pokemon. In other words, you can obtain exactly 100 Pokemon. You can't have all 100 at once though, since you must trade Hordel's Purified Togepi for his Elekid, so you really can only obtain 99 Pokemon, not counting multiple copies of wild ones. Q: Does Shadow Lugia lose its awesome colour when it is Purified? A: Yes. Q: Do I get anything for Purifying the 83 Shadow Pokemon? A: Yes. There will be an extra scene before the credits if you defeat Greevil again. The extra scene shows your character leaving the Snag Machine in the Pokemon HQ Lab as a sign of completing the objective of purifying all the Shadow Pokemon. Q: Team Snagem Jedo's Typhlosion knew Thunderpunch in the Orre Colosseum. Typhlosion can't learn it. Why? A: XD was made at around the same time as Emerald. A lot of Pokemon can now learn Thunderpunch and/or Elemental Punches in Gen III, as there's a Move Tutor in Emerald's Battle Frontier that can teach them. Q: Can I trade Pokemon to Colosseum? A: Not directly. You must trade them to a GBA game first and then trade them to Colosseum. The locations that you caught your Pokemon at may be wrong, though. There is data for every specific area in Orre. If you catch a Pokemon in XD, it'll have the specific data, but if you trade it to Colosseum, it may change whatever area it was caught in to one present in Colosseum, since Colosseum has a list of some areas from XD. I think XD reused some programming of areas in Colosseum. Since the only way Colosseum knows where the Pokemon came from is from its programming, the game assumes one of these areas because that's the information it was programmed to give. This explains why an XD-caught Lugia's home location is changed to "Mt. Battle (met)" when traded to Colosseum. Q: I'm stuck in Gateon Port near the start of the game. Where is the exit? A: This problem happened to me the first time I played the game, too. Go left a bit from the Pokemon Centre until you see some steps to the south. Walk up them and head past the 'Welcome' sign to end up back on the Orre Region map. Q: What Ribbons can I obtain in this game? A: You can obtain Ribbons for Purifying Shadow Pokemon or completing the Mt. Battle 100-Trainer Challenge. Q: Do Ribbons have any purpose in this game? A: No. They're only for proofing that you Purified Shadow Pokemon or completed the Mt. Battle 100-Trainer Challenge. Q: Can I transfer Pokemon to Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/FireRed/LeafGreen? A: No. You can only trade them. If you want to transfer Pokemon, you'll have to get Pokemon Box: Ruby and Sapphire. Despite its subtitle, the game is compatible with all core Gen III games. Q: In her diary, Jovi mentions that the Pokemon HQ Lab has a secret room somewhere. Where is it? A: The secret room is the same room where the Master Ball is. If you go to the Pokemon HQ after destroying the Cipher Key Lair, Prof. Krane will open the entrance to the secret room. Q: Can Shadow Pokemon be Shiny in this game? A: No. However, the starter Eevee, Mt. Battle Johto starter Pokemon, and Poke Spot Pokemon can be Shiny. Source: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Shiny_Pok%C3%A9mon Q: Can [name of Item] be found in this game? A: Check the List of Items section. If [name of Item] is listed in the section, you can find it in this game. Q: If my Spot Monitor detects a Pokemon, can I re-load my last save to detect a different Pokemon instead? A: Yes. Q: How can I raise a Pokemon's happiness? A: The easiest way in this game is to do the following actions: *Use Cologne Scents on it. *Level it up. *Give it a Soothe Bell to hold. *Walk with it. *Battle with it. *Use vitamins on it. Q: Can I keep Hordel's Purified Togepi and give him another Togepi instead? A: No. If you want to trade for Hordel's Elekid, you'll have to give HIS Togepi or Togetic back to him. If you want to keep it, your best bet is to do so on a different save file or use Emerald cloning glitch to clone it. Q: Can I play as a female character? A: Not in Story Mode. You can in Vs Mode if you play as a female character from a GBA game. Q: I've done the requirements for my GBA game, but I still can't trade my Party Pokemon. Why? A: You can't trade Pokemon under the following circumstances: 1) A Shadow Pokemon is in your party. 2) A Pokemon is holding Mail or an Enigma Berry. 3) After trading Party Pokemon, only fainted Pokemon and/or Eggs would be left in your party. Q: How many memory blocks does this game use? A: 43. Q: Can I copy/move my save file? A: No. This is to prevent players from cloning their Pokemon. Q: What's a Soul Dew? A: Soul Dew raises the Special Attack and Special Defence of Latias/Latios. In other words, it's a free Calm Mind. Q: Can I trade a Sun/Moon Shard (via attaching it to my Pokemon) to Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/FireRed/LeafGreen? A: No, as there is no data for the Sun/Moon Shard in the GBA games. You can't trade Pokemon Colosseum's Time Flutes either for the same reason. Q: If I evolve my Shroomish into a Breloom, will I be able to teach it Spore via talking to the Move Relearner? A: No. The Move Relearner can only teach moves that the current evolution could have learned via leveling up. Q: How many save files? A: 1 save file per memory card. Q: Where can I get Berries? A: In the northwestern side of Agate Village behind the Pokemon Day Care. Go up the slope and you'll find an old man and his Taillow. He gives you a Berry once per day. The type of Berry he gives out is randomly selected from the first fifteen Berries obtainable in the Hoenn region. Source: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Agate_Village Q: My Shadow Monitor details the locations of a few Pokemon as "GONE". Why? A: You released or traded your Pokemon. If you trade them back, their location will still be listed as "GONE", so you can't undo this description. The Shadow Monitor details the locations of Pokemon in Boxes, but if you trade them, their location will be changed to "GONE" forever. Q: How long does it take to complete the Mt. Battle 100-Trainer Challenge? A: It depends on your choice of Pokemon. Having a few Level 100 Pokemon in your party would be advantageous for knocking out enemy Pokemon more quickly and easily. Also, since they won't be receiving EXP, the battles will be shorter. If you do this, it should only take 3-4 hours to complete the Mt. Battle 100-Trainer Challenge. Q: Can I battle with Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/FireRed/LeafGreen players? A: Yes. Party Pokemon/Items must meet the rules and you mustn't have Shadow Pokemon, though. In addition, the GBA player must obtain the Pokedex, save at a Pokemon Centre, have Party Pokemon/Items that meet the rules, mustn't have Pokemon Eggs in his/her party, and mustn't have Party Pokemon holding Mail or an Enigma Berry. Q: Can I transfer Pokemon to Box? A: Not directly. They must first be traded to a GBA game and then transferred to Box. Q: Can I play against a computer-controlled opponent in Vs Mode? A: Yes. You can do this in Quick Battle. Q: When battling with four players, can I play a Single Battle? A: No. Q: Can I play Group Battle with three players? A: No. Q: Can I teach HMs to a Pokemon? A: No, as they aren't obtainable in this game. A few Shadow Pokemon can learn one of them upon purification, though (Starmie, for example). Q: What's the Call option in the battle menu for? A: Its main use is to bring a Shadow Pokemon back from Reverse Mode or wake a Pokemon from sleep. It can also be used to pass a turn or raise the accuracy of a non-Shadow Pokemon who is not asleep. Q: How many PC boxes are there? A: 8. They each hold a total of 30 Pokemon. Q: What does the '+' next to an opponent's Shadow Pokemon's level mean? A: A Shadow Pokemon's level depends on your own party's level. The '+' means it may be at a higher level when snagged. ############################################################################### 13.
