Pokemon Colosseum/Gale of Darkness FAQ

Can I clone my game by removing the memory card during play, putting a different one in, and then going and saving at the computer?

Are there any special pokemon that have moves they wouldnt otherwise be able to learn. I'm remembering Pikachu with Surf and Gligar with Earthquake from Stadium and was wondering if there was any similar things like that and what they were.

Hmm the clone thing....i tried once but with no luck so i dont think you can.

As for the special moves i haven't come across one yet but if i do i'll let ya know ^^

Does anyone know what to do after you beat everyone in Pyrite?
I looked everywhere for anything else to do, but I had no luck.

If you're at the beggining of the game, go to the colloseum and beat it. You'll get TM Toxic. Then get out and some guy will take you to a dungeon. Finish the dungeon, and the story will continue.
P.S: Get ready before getting to the dungeon.

Every Game after GSC and Stadium 2 is clone-free I'm afraid. =/

Pokemon XD:Gale of Darkness FAQ

The Purification Chamber is an amazing feature of Pokemon XD, allowing you to purify up to 9 Shadow Pokemon more quickly than you could before! Using it can be a bit confusing, so I've made this guide to help.

The Chamber contains 9 "sets", each allowing for one Shadow Pokemon, and 4 Regular Pokemon to be placed within them.

On the left side, you'll notice a bar labeled "Tempo." The more Regular Pokemon placed around the Shadow Pokemon, the greater the Tempo becomes. You'll want to maximize this to help increase the purificaiton speed. To accomplish this, you'll have to achieve a "Best Circle"

A Best Circle is achieved when each pokemon in the chain has a type advantage over the other. For example, I want to Purify a Shadow Swellow. It is a Normal/Flying. Take note that a Normal type has no type advantage over any Pokemon, so let's get that out the way. To start off our Best Circle, we want Swellow to point to, oh........say a Regular Grass type. At this time, note that there are flashing lights in the set's circle. These lights flow in the same direction these show the direction in which each Pokemon would have to have an advantage over another. For example:

If an arrow was pointed this way....

-> -> -> ->

Then the order in which the Pokemon would have to have a Type advantage over the next would be....

Flying -> Grass -> Ground ->Rock

Sadly I can't provide a good enough visual example, so simply remember that each type has to have a clear type advantage over the next, all around the circle, to gain a Max Tempo. Also keep in mind that if two pokemon in a set have the same type, then the Tempo will not maximize.

But to try and prevent confusion, let's continue my example.
We're purifying a Shadow Swellow. Let's put the following Regular Pokemon in the Circle in this order:

Exeggutor -> Rhydon -> Walrein -> Magmar

None of these pokemon are the same type, and the form a complete circle where each Pokemon has a type advantage over the other. Have Swellow face Exeggutor (Flying > Grass) and you have a Best Circle!

On the right side, you'll notice a meter labeled "Flow." This is the actual speed of the purfication (So Tempo basically helps boost the speed). In order to maximize this, all 9 sets must have achieved a Best Circle. Mastering the Flow and Tempo will make your purification process alot faster than battling.

PURIFYING SHADOW LUGIA

Yes, most of us all yearn to purify this thing. If you haven't read the info above, do so now.

Step 1: Place lugia in a set.
Step 2: Create a Best Circle in that set.
Step 3: Create a Best Circle in the other 8 sets.

The Shadow Lugia's Heart Guage will instantly turn completely white. Now complete the Purification Ceremony and you'll have a Regular Lugia with Aeroblast, Psycho Boost, Featherdance, and Earthquake.

Sounds simple, but the process requires multiple Shadow Pokemon to be purified, or for multiple Regular Pokemon traded over, so the process will start out slow, then quicken over time.

1. Introduction
###############################################################################

Thank you for choosing to read my FAQ/Walkthrough for Pokemon XD: Gale of
Darkness. This FAQ may be in its early stages, but eventually it will contain
everything you need (and more!) to fully complete the game. After seeing on
the GameFAQs message boards that people were asking a lot of questions about
this game, I decided to write this FAQ to answer them.

Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness takes place five years after the first GameCube
Pokemon game, Pokemon Colosseum. An ex-member of Team Snagem and a girl who
had a special ability to see Shadow Pokemon both managed to thwart the evil
Cipher organisation's plans to take over the world. Cipher supposedly
disbanded shortly afterwards, but now it seems they're back. It's now up to
you to defeat Cipher once again and restore peace to the Orre Region.

###############################################################################

After selecting "New Game", the Name Screen will appear. After you've named
the Main Character, you'll start the game inside the Pokemon HQ. However, just
before that, the S.S. Libra is seen sailing across the ocean. Suddenly,
members of the notorious Cipher organisation arrive on the scene in their
helicopters. Shadow Lugia, a mysterious Shadow Pokemon, lifts the S.S. Libra
into the sky and makes its escape, with the Cipher members following behind.
The confused Captain and his crew are left stranded in the ocean.

===============================================================================
A. Pokemon HQ
===============================================================================

When you gain control of the Main Character, you will be in a battle with Sim
Trainer Jadlet. Although the Metagross has a high ATK, a couple of Earthquakes
from your Salamence should be able to defeat it, since Metagross is weak to
Ground-Type attacks. In addition, Salamence has faster Speed than Metagross,
so you'll probably end this battle after 2 turns.

After the Battle Sim finishes, you'll appear in the Pokemon HQ building. While
you may have thought you had a Lvl 50 Salamence in your Party, you actually
have a Lvl 10 Eevee. If you want to practice battling, Battle Sims can help to
master the basics.

You can make your way around the Pokemon Lab and talk with the scientists.
They will tell you information, which may be helpful to you. Outside the
building, you'll notice that there are two entrances to the left and right.
The former leads to your room, while the latter takes you to the Purify
Chamber, which will be important for Purifying your Shadow Pokemon later on in
the game.

If you take the elevator to the second floor and enter Professor Krane's
office, Lily (your mother) will ask you to find Jovi (your sister), as she has
been gone for a while. Professor Krane asks you to take the P*DA he left in
your room. Go down the elevator and head through the entrance to the left.
Enter your room and grab the P*DA on the desk. While you're there, you can
also take the 3 Potions in the chest nearby.

If you try to leave the room, you'll recieve an e-mail from Professor Krane.
He informs you that he last saw Jovi playing hide-and-seek with Adan, so it
probably would be a good idea to speak with him. Go to the second floor and
enter the room south of the Lounge. (The Lounge is the room where the
television, Psyduck and Quagsire are.) Adan is hiding under the table.

Have a look at Professor Krane's e-mail. Adan emerges from his hiding place
and suggests that you travel to Dr. Kaminko's House. Jovi's friend, Chobin,
lives there, so she might have gone there to visit him. Adan says that it's
a big, weird house southeast of the Pokemon HQ. Since the location is now
marked on the World Map, you can make your way there and collect Jovi.

===============================================================================
B. Dr. Kaminko's House
===============================================================================

As you head for Dr. Kaminko's House, Kaminko Aide Chobin will battle you.
He thinks that you're a burglar, so you must defeat him to prove otherwise.
Since Chobin's Sunkern is at Lvl 5, you will have an advantage. Use your
Eevee's Tackle attack to defeat it after a few turns.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
KAMINKO AIDE CHOBIN
Sunkern, Lvl 5
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

After the battle, Chobin realises that you're Jovi's brother, and admits that
Jovi is inside the house. Once Chobin shows you a few of Dr. Kaminko's weird
inventions, you can go through the door to your left to find Jovi. Your sister
temporaily joins your party, so you can now go back to the Pokemon HQ.

Outside the Pokemon HQ, you can challenge Super Trainer Aferd to practice your
battling skills. After defeating him, go inside the building and head
upstairs. You'll notice that Professor Krane isn't in his office. Speak with
the old man, and he'll mention that the Professor went downstairs a while ago.
Take the elevator downstairs, and you'll find him in the room opposite the
Purify Chamber.

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.

Unfortunately, just as you put the Snag Machine on your arm, Professor Krane is
kidnapped by a group of Cipher Peons. Exit the Pokemon HQ, and you'll see the
group preparing to make their getaway. As you attempt to stop them, Spy Naps
battles you. When he sends out his Shadow Teddiursa, 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.

After the battle, the Cipher Peons escape with Professor Krane. Even without
the Professor's assistance, Lily makes the decision to continue working on
completing the Purify Chamber. She has ordered a Machine Part for the Purify
Chamber from the Parts Shop in Gateon Port.

===============================================================================
C. Gateon Port
===============================================================================

As you enter Gateon Port, Jovi runs past you and accidentally bumps into Thug
Zook. Zook complains that Jovi has messed up his hair, and threatens to set
his Shadow Zangoose on her. Fortunately, Zook is interupted 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. Inside the Parts Shop, you'll notice that the shopkeeper isn't
there.

If you talk to the person nearby, he'll offer to give you one of five
Evolution Items, because you have a rare Eevee, which can evolve into four
different forms. A Water Stone evolves Eevee into a Vaporeon, Thunderstone
Jolteon, Fire Stone Flareon, Moon Shard Umbreon, and Sun Shard Espeon. While
the Stones can evolve Eevee right away, you must wait until your Eevee levels
up before it can evolve into either Umbreon or Espeon.

In my opinion, Espeon is the best Eevee evolution, as it can learn powerful
Psychic-Type and Dark-Type attacks. Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon can learn
good attacks. Umbreon, however, isn't as good as the latter four, since its
Attack is low, but it does have excellent Defence. If you want to breeze
through the game, I suggest choosing Espeon, as most Pokemon aren't resistant
to its attacks.

The Hexagon Brothers are guarding the entrance to the Cipher Lab, so you must
defeat one of them before you can enter the building. Although you can just
defeat one Hexagon Brother, I advice battling all six of them to help level up
your Pokemon. Also, you can Snag some good Shadow Pokemon, such as Houndour
and Mareep, that will be a good addition to your party.

Once you've defeated the Hexagon Brothers, go through the western entrance.
Use the Restore Machine to heal your Pokemon before heading for the elevator.
Whenever your Pokemon are low on health, you can return here to heal them, so
you don't have to spend money on Super Potions if you don't have enough cash.
Head for the elevator, and you'll be ambushed by Cipher Peon Corla. She
challenges you to a battle, so defeat her to continue onward.

After coming out of the elevator, take the eastern route. Another Cipher Peon
named Javion ambushes you. Since his Pokemon are both Flying-Types, you can
use Mareep's Thundershock attack to inflict Super Effective hits against them.
Don't use Thunder Wave though, as Taillow's Guts Ability increases its ATK if
its paralyzed, poisoned or burned.

Continue going right to find an elevator. Use it to be dropped off on the
third floor. Just as you're exiting the elevator, Cipher R&D Mesak battles
you. Although Mesak has Bug and Grass-Type Pokemon in his party, they are also
Rock-Types, so Fire-Type attacks won't do much damage to them. Stick to using
Psychic-Type moves to have an advantage.

you go south, you'll hear Cipher Admin Lovrina trying to convince Professor
Krane to help Cipher with their Shadow Pokemon plan. The Professor refuses
to co-operate, but Lovrina believes that he will in time and orders her
brother, Cipher Peon Naps, to keep an eye on him, while she puts the finishing
touches to XD001.

When you regain control of the Main Character, continue going south to be
ambushed by Cipher Peon Solox. Ralts' Synchronize Ability copies its status
onto your Pokemon, and Voltorb's Static Ability can paralyze them if you direct
attack it.

Before you can use it, you must defeat Cipher Peon Digor first. Take the
elevator back down and go left to find Cipher Peon Crink.

same Pokemon that Cipher Admin Lovrina was referring to earlier. Before you
can learn any more information, the scientists notice you. Battle them. You
should have no problems defeating them. Just watch out for Wynaut's Counter
and Mirror Coat attacks, as they can reflect an attack back at your Pokemon.
You get around them by using Ghost-Type and Dark-Type attacks respectively.

Strategy:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Once you defeat Lovrina, she takes the elevator and escapes. However, while
she was hurrying, she dropped a Data ROM. Pick it up. It contains information
about Cipher's Shadow Pokemon plan.

As you leave the Cipher Lab, you'll see the Hexagon Brothers outside. You can
battle them again to gain EXP. Points and Snag any Shadow Pokemon you failed
to capture from them.

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 Station. 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.

Lily asks you to check how Datan is doing in his office upstairs. He's
currently investigating the Data ROM, but he isn't in his office. He's
actually outside the Pokemon HQ. If you talk to him, he'll admit that the
contents of the Data ROM are heavily protected, so Professor Krane asks you to
deliver it to OBNS in Pyrite Town.

As you enter Secc's office, you'll hear Cipher Commander Exol saying it
wouldn't be right for Nett to keep the Data ROM. As an insurance policy,
Cipher has deleted the data from ONBS's servers. With the Data ROM back in
his possession, Exol decides to let Megg go. Just as Exol's about to leave,
you arrive on the scene, so he battles you to get past.

With OBNS Headquarters liberated from Cipher, Nett reveals that he was able to
learn some information before the Data ROM was taken. For instance, Cipher
was behind the disappearance of the S.S. Libra. Also, it seems the
organisation is planning an attack on Phenac City. Marcia, an OBNS reporter,
has gone there to investigate why the town's communication systems are down.
Nett asks you to inform the Mayor of Phenac City about Cipher's coming attack.

When you return to Phenac City, go into the house that is to the west of the
Mayor's House. Inside, you'll recieve the Music Disc, which will help you to
go upstairs in the Mayor's House. You can heal your Pokemon here free of
charge. Give the Music Disc to the housekeeper. While she's distracted, go
upstairs and read the Mayor's Note.

It seems Cipher's members are secretly taking the places of prominent members
of the community! The housekeeper confronts you and reveals that she is
actually Cipher Peon Exin.

When you return to the Cipher Key Lair, Thug Zook will challenge you to a

After the battle, speak with the guards and admit that you were on TV. They
realise that you're the person causing all the trouble for Cipher.
Fortunately, Team Snagem arrives on the scene. Snagem Member Wakin uses his
Gloom's Sleep Powder attack to knock out the guards. Snagem Head Gonzap urges
you to continue onward, saying Team Snagem will step in when Cipher is
finally defeated. Now's your chance to enter the Cipher Key Lair.

As you enter the Cipher Key Lair, you'll notice some workers inside. They
won't battle you, so grab the 3 Super Potions and take the eastern route to
find Cipher Peon Grezle.

Eeveelutions are great pokemon, each with unique traits, abilities, and usefulness. Take note that each individual evolution has a similar stat build in that they all include a Base 130 stat, a Base 110 stat two Base 65 stats, and a Base 60 stat in specific stats.....it's just fun to take note of is all. =/. As you start your Pokemon XD game, you'll have a choice of evolving your starter, Eevee, into one of these Special Pokemon, but what to choose? Hopefully this insightful information will help influence your decision.


Espeon

Overview- Espeon is a prime pick when considering in-game Eevee evolutions. Why? Well, who doesn't like a high Speed Pokemon that can really dish out the Special Damage off rip (that's ibonics for without any stat boosts) AND can use Calm Mind? It also does one of the best jobs against most of the bosses. Lovrina doesn't count because she fails as a trainer >_>.


Oh, yea, and it's automatically cool because it's one of those Psychic types >_>.

Trait: Synchronize

Base Stats

HP: 65
Atk: 65
Def: 60
Spd: 110
SAtk: 130
SDef: 95

Base 130 SAtk, ftw. You can't say that and Base 110 isn't sexy. Sadly, being a Psychic type, it doesn't get a decent Def Stat. Nothing to worry about though, as it pretty much kills alot of things in-game before they try to hurt it :).

Espeon is strictly a Special Sweeper. If you're using Swift earlier in the game, that's all fine, but I strongly recommend you trade it for something better, which sadly is Bite >_>. Reflect is a cool idea too, what with 95% of the battles being Double Battles. Calm Mind is almost a must. 95 SDef is actually pretty nice, and 130 SAtk is even better. Combine those with CM, and you have an almost unstoppable force. If you can teach it Hidden Power, keep it if you find it to be a Fire type, for resistant Steel types, or Water for Houndoom and Tyranitar. Morning Sun for healing of course.


Flareon

Overview- ...........Ok, I'm making this guide out of generosity, so I'll say this: Technically, Flareon sucks. But because this is in-game, I'll count it as somewhat valid........somewhat.....

That said, Flareon is the physical muscle of the Eeveelutions (omg....). It's SAtk is pretty low for a Fire type, but it has great Attack and Special Defense stats (considering this stuff is like watching 10 minutes of a Dragonball Z show....ok I'll stop now.). Although it won't matter too much within the game, take note that this is "considered" a "Skarmbliss counter". Don't worry too much about that, that's just mentioned for reference.

Trait: Flash Fire

Base Stats

HP: 65
Atk: 130
Def: 60
Spd: 65
SAtk: 95
SDef: 110

The epitomy of why Fire types are considered sucky.....I mean the generalization of all great Pokemon!

Flareon is one of those Pokemon who have a typing opposite of that which it's Base Stats would exploit. You'd think Base 95 SAtk was good enough (close to 100 ftw), but Charizard has base 109, Salamence base 120, and Alakazam base only God knows where. Get my drift? So to make up for that fault, try to find those Fire Blast and Overheat TMs.

Alright, so remember that high base 130 Atk stat? Here's a list of all of Flareon's Level Up and TM physical moves:

Level Up

*Quick Attack
*Tackle
*Smog

Technical Machines

*Dig
*Facade
*Frustration
*Hidden Power [Physical]
*Hyper Beam
*Iron Tail
*Return
*Secret Power
*Shadow Ball

With only Return, Frustration, Quick Attack, Hidden Power [Fighting/Ground/Rock], and Shadow Ball being of any real usefulness, and Iron Tail being the only other reasonable thing. All I can say is to wait for the Shadow Houndour. If you think it's cool though, go ahead. I can honestly say I wouldn't blame you (*hugs Umbreon >_>). Helping Hand and Sunny Day are valid options IMO.


Jolteon

Overview- If it wren't for the Crappy Movepool Curse, this would probably be the most awesome Eeveelution evar. One of THE highest speeds in the game, with a pretty nice SAtk Stat to boot. It's pretty much like a reverse Espeon without Calm Mind.


Trait: Volt Absorb

Base Stats

HP: 65
Atk: 65
Def: 60
Spd: 130
SAtk: 110
SDef: 95

Thunderbolt and Thunder Wave are your best friends. :D It can't do too much else attack-wise, so put that Move Tutor to good use and give it Substitute as well. If you can manage, give it Hidden Power Ice or Grass. If you get Water, you can use Rain Dance and Thunder without me coming to your house and slapping you for using Thunder at all. j/k. No sersiously though it's not AS effective without HP Water. But I'll throw you a bone since it's in-game: If you have Kyogre traded over or something with Rain Dance, go ahead and have fun running Thunder and Thunderbolt on the same moveset.


Umbreon

Overview- OMG <3. Umby defenses roxxors </n00b talk>. My favorite pokemon, and judging by recent polls, just about everybody elses' favorite Eeveelution :D. But honestly, it won't be of too much help in-game unless you use Confuse Ray while Amphy uses Thunder Wave >:). But when you start trading stuff over and breed your own Umbreon in GBA, you'll be able to make THE best Trap-passer in THE game.


Trait: Synchronize

Base Stats

HP: 95
Atk: 65
Def: 130
Spd: 60
SAtk: 60
SDef: 110

Not one of the offensive Eevelutions obviously. Stick with stuff like Mean Look, Confuse Ray, and of course Moonlight. Sadly, Faint Attack and Bite are your only real offensive moves (unless you want Psychic, which you don't lest I bring my knife to your house). Toxic has always been a cool and favored option, so give it a shot. If you're somehow able to not let Eevee evolve and get it Baton Pass, you can use that and Mean Look just in case someone wants to switch out. That's more of a competitve battling thing though. =/ If you want you can pass some Double Teams, but then I'd have to slap you.

Vaporeon

Overview- Another wonderful Eeveelution, ranking high as one of the better ones (not to mentioned ranked as one of the cooler and more useful water types). Makes for a great Special Tank, and can still dish out the damage when it needs to.


Trait: Synchronize

Base Stats

HP: 130
Atk: 65
Def: 60
Spd: 65
SAtk: 110
SDef: 95

Jolteon Base Special Attack: 110
Vaporeon Base Special Attack:110

Now you know that's dangerous. It should keep the usual moves like Hydro Pump (Trade it over to GBA and get it Surf as soon as possible IMO) and Ice Beam (or Auror Beam if Ice Beam isn't available at the moment). Haze gets cooler as you start battling competitvely (that means link battles for all the simple folk), and if you let Eevee get Baton Pass before evolving, you can pass over some Acid Armors and Substitutes (Move Tutor) to a good sweeper and you'll basically be near invincible.

Yea, that's pretty much it. Without breeding/certain Hidden Powers, these aren't always as cool as they should be, but they're still cool pokes to use.

Ok, finished. Any suggestions, comments, and concerns can only make this guide better.
