Well, an incredible thing happened. I didn't care a lot about Pokémon
Colosseum. I never played any of the Pokémon Stadium games and Sapphire got a
bit boring. However, a couple of weeks before the launch of Pokémon Colosseum I
started looking out for the game. It was the child in me that was looking out
for the game. I bought it a week after the release; I even got my dad to drive
me to the store while I normally just use the bus. I started playing and easily
leveled up my Pokémon to incredibly high levels, I got my Pokémon to level 60
before I fought against the third admin and I realized that many people had
problems with the game and that there aren't many walkthroughs available that
is why I started this thing.

2- FAQ                                                                   [A200]

[1] [Q]. What are those numbers like [A300] next to the title of every section?
[A] It is the search engine of this FAQ. Press Ctrl and F. Type in the
Search code for the section you want to visit. You should be there in
two steps.
[2] [Q]. Does this game contain a Nintendo VIP card?
[A] Yes, the European version contains a card with the code. The game gives
you 250 stars. You'll get a couple of wallpapers and the like. The only
good thing you get is access to the Premium Pokédex. You'll get a
Winamp Skin if you have registered Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire.
[3] [Q]. Why can't I link with Ruby and Sapphire in the story mode?
[A] You'll have to defeat the final boss to be able to trade.
[4] [Q]. How can I get Jirachi?
[A] It is on a bonus disk that is delivered with Pokémon Channel in Europe.
You could also get it on a bonus disk if you preorder Pokémon in
North America.
[5] [Q]. What is in the Pokémon Colosseum GameCube Pack?
[A] That pack contains a Memory Card 251, a GameCube, Pokémon Colosseum,
Pokémon Box. Pokémon Box is handy because Colosseum only has rooms for
96 Pokémon. (There are places 90 in the boxes and 6 in your party.)
[6] [Q]. Can you get Shiny Pokémon in this game?
[A] Yes, you can still encounter Shiny Pokémon although the chance is slim
that you'll ever be able to get one. Shiny Pokémon don't have
exceptional stats or special moves, they are just Shiny.
[7] [Q]. Do you know any good places to train?
[A] I usually train my Pokémon against Cail in Pyrite Town or at Mt Battle.
[8] [Q]. How do you obtain the Ho-oh?
[A] You have to catch all Shadow Pokémon and purify them. After that, you
have to use the Pokémon from Story Mode to beat Mt Battle in Colosseum
mode. After beating the last trainer, you'll get Ho-oh.
[9] [Q]. Do I have to use the Pokémon you suggest?
[A] No, it is only a suggestion. You can use other Pokémon too but I list
the best combination of types to play through the game.
[10] [Q]. Do you get experience for raising a Shadow Pokémon at the Day Care?
[A] No, only regular Pokémon get experience at the Day Care0
[11] [Q]. Should I replace Thunder because it misses so much?
[A] No, just team the Pokémon that knows Thunder up with one that knows
Rain Dance.

3- Walkthrough Story Mode                                                [A300]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
You start the game by selecting a name for yourself. I named him Wes and I'll
keep referring to him as Wes. The game starts with an opening movie showing how
Wes blows up the Team Snagem hideout and runs out of there with his trusted
Espeon and Umbreon. A couple of moments later, the hideout explodes.
===============================================================================
3.1- Outskirt Stand                                                 [A301]
===============================================================================
There is not much you can do in Outskirt stand. You'll see two men coming out
of the building and starting a conversation about how well they did. They sure
look suspicious though. Just enter the locomotive that turns out to be a café.
There is a news bulletin on the television about the explosion in the Team
Snagem hideout. All members of Team Snagem have left the building before the
police came there. You don't have to talk to the people in the café. They don't
say anything important. They can give you some information about Team Snagem
but that is it.
Leave the train and a trainer called Willie will come after you. He wants to
battle against you. I'd accept his offer. It isn't a difficult battle. He sends
out two Zigzagzoon that are level 24. Your Pokémon are level 25 (Espeon) and 26
(Umbreon). Let Espeon use 'Confusion'. It will kill a Zigzagzoon. Umbreon his
attack will almost kill his opponent but the chance his big that it will
survive so you'll need to attack one more time. You defeated Rider Willie. He
tells you about Phenac City go away from the Outskirt Stand and go to Phenac
City.
===============================================================================
3.2- Phenac City                                                    [A302]
===============================================================================
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You'll start with a battle in Phenac City. There is a scream from inside of the
sack and the suspicious guys think you heard it, so they'll attack you. They
have 2 Whismur, one of level 24 and one level 25. Let Espeon use Confuse on the
level 25 to knock him out. Let Umbreon use Bite on the other one too. You won't
kill it so you'll need to attack a second time. After that, Umbreon will reach
level 27. They run away and leave the bag behind. Stand in front of the bag and
press A to open the bag. A girl will come out and you'll need to give her a
name. I'll refer to her as Rui.
Visit the Pokémon Center to heal your Pokémon. The guy at the Pokémon Center
with his Marill doesn't want to fight right now so you'll have to come back
later. On the right side of the village, you'll find an old guy that wants to
battle. I suggest that you fight him to train your Pokémon. He sends out a
Sentret (level 25) and Hoothoot (Level 25). Use Call on your Pokémon if he
falls asleep.
Go up the stairs behind the fountain. You can visit the Pre Gym that is lead by
Justy. If you want, you can battle his trainers. I suggest that you defeat them
now; your level is high enough. There are four trainers in total. The first one
uses grass types. They're around level 26-27. Just keep using the same attacks
as in the last battles (Bite and Confusion). If you followed this FAQ, Espeon
will rise to level 26. He uses Hoppip and Sunkern.
The second trainer specializes in Water Pokémon and uses Marill (26) and
Surskit (27). Let Espeon and Umbreon focus their attacks on one Pokémon so that
it'll go down in one turn instead of hurting both Pokémon. The third trainer
will use, you should already know, fire type Pokémon. He sends out Trapinch and
Swinub, they're not 100% fire types but they're close enough. With a bit of
luck, these two Pokémon will both go down with a single attack.
The fourth and last trainer uses Geodude and Rhyhorn. Confusion (and other
Psychic attacks) is very effective against Rock Pokémon. It is too bad that
Umbreon can't do much damage to these Pokémon. After that, you'll have to talk
to Justy and he says he'll challenge you when you have six Pokémon and he gives
you a White Herb. Go outside for a short moment and go talk to the teacher at
the other side of the gym when you come back in and she'll give you the
Strategy Memo.
If you go to the right of the gym, you'll see a house. There is a kid that
wants to fight you behind that house. He has a Wurmple and a Cascoon. He won't
prove much of a challenge. Umbreon will reach level 28 after this fight. The
boy will give you TM41. You can find the Phenac Colosseum behind the gym but it
is closed for now.
It might be a good time to visit the Mayor now. He lives close by. He lives to
the left of the gym. When you want to enter it, a mysterious guy (Nascour) will
leave it. Talk to the mayor and Rui will explain the situation. He'll ask for a
little time to investigate so go save at the Pokémon Center.
When you go inside of the Pokémon Stadium again, you'll be attacked by Team
Snagem members when you come out. They make it clear that you are a traitor
because you blew up their hideout. They tell Rui that Wes was the best Pokémon
thief of Team Snagem. They want to steal the Snag machine from you so you'll
have to fight to defend yourself.
The Snagem member will send out Corphish and Koffing. Use Confusion on Koffing
and he'll faint. Espeon will rise to level 27. Rui realizes that Wes can catch
all Shadow Pokémon to purify them. She suggests that you go buy a couple of
Pokeballs but the shop in Phenac City doesn't sell any. You'll have to go back
to the Outskirt Stand and talk to the owner of the bar. He still has Pokeballs.
You must talk to the guy at the table on the second floor in the Phenac City
shop first tough. You'll first get five Pokeballs for free but buy ten
Pokeballs after that and get a Premier Ball for free. Buy a couple of Great
Balls too. It will save you the trip later on when you're in Pyrite Town.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Head back to Phenac and the lady at the entrance will tell you about a couple
of scary guys, including the ones that kidnapped Rui. Save and then go to the
Mayor's house and they'll be there. It is Mirror B and his henchmen, Mirror B
will leave and you'll have to fight one of his henchmen. Peon Folly sends out a
Whismur and a Lotad because he only has those two. Use Confusion against
Whismur and Bite Lotad. Attack Lotad once more and the fight should be over.
________________
|                | After that Mirror B. Peon Trudly attacks you. He owns three
| Shadow Pokémon | Pokémon: Duskull, Spinarak and the Shadow Pokémon Makuhita.
|   Makuhita     | Use Confusion against Spinarak and Bite the Duskull. You
|                | can't hurt him with psychic attacks but he is weak against
|   Level 30     | Dark Attacks. In the second part of the fight, let Espeon
|________________| use Return on Makuhita and attack Duskull with Bite. Don't
use Confusion against Makuhita, it will kill him. Use Return
instead. Bring his health down to the red/yellow part and use Pokeballs until
you catch him. Go save. After that, you'll have to leave for Pyrite Town but
all exits are blocked by Mirror B. Henchmen. Each one of them as a Gold/Silver
Starter's second evolution. The green one has Bayleef, the red one Quilava and
the blue one Croconaw.
I suggest going for Bayleef because with Entei and Mantine later in the game,
you'll have good Pokémon from that kind. This walkthrough only describes the
fight with the Bayleef trainer at the moment but the fight with the Croconaw
and Quilava trainer are about the same. You can't steal all of them. I suggest
you take Bayleef but if you want another one, go right ahead. The strategy
remains the same for all the fights. The following bit is my recommendation on
which one you have to catch.
Bayleef: There isn't any other good Grass Pokémon in this game. You don't have
to use him a lot but he might be handy at the start against Water Pokémon. He
can be found at the exit next to the mayor's home.
Quilava: There are a couple of Fire Pokémon in the game. Slugma is kind of slow
and he doesn't get any faster but he is strong. Entei is the best choice for a
Fire Pokémon but you only get him later. You don't need Quilava in my opinion.
He is at the exit on the other side of the town.
Croconaw: This game contains a lot of strong Water Pokémon. I'd recommend
getting Mantine in the next town. He should be immune to Earthquake which makes
him a good benefit at some places. You can get him in Pyrite Town so you won't
miss him. He is at the entrance you used to enter the town.

|                | The trainer has three Pokémon: Bayleef, Grimer and Spoink.
| Shadow Pokémon | First bring down Bayleef's HP until you can catch him with
|   Bayleef      | Umbreon's Bite. Repeat that about three times. He'll use
|                | Shadow Rush too so he'll be in his red bar (unless he uses
|   Level 30     | Synthesis). Use Confusion to kill Spoink and Grimer with one
|________________| attack each. The fight is over and you can go to the
Construction Lot.

Go to Duking's house and press A when you're next to the bookshelves. A secret
door will open. Go in and talk to the kids. Come back up and watch the little
movie. Silva is talking to Duking about the current situation in Pyrite Town.
Leave the building and go to the inn. It is behind Duking's place. There is a
trainer in front of the building.
The trainer has Slakoth, Sentret, and Taillow. Use the Shadow Pokémon you
captured in Phenac City to purify them. Go further in the town and attack the
female chaser there. She has Golbat and Gulpin who can be killed with Espeon's
attacks. Go to the circle with all the trainers around it.

|   Misdreavus   | Espeon when Misdreavus comes out. He can hardly do damage

|   Level 30     |
|________________|
________________
|                | The sixth trainer is behind the circle, he is the leader of
| Shadow Pokémon | this gang. He has four Pokémon so he can be a challenge. He
|   Slugma       | has Azurill, Swablu, Igglybuff and Slugma. Azurill and
|                | Igglybuff are weak against Makuhita's Fighting attack.
|   Level 30     | Don't use Water attacks against Slugma.
|________________|
You can battle again against all those trainers after leaving Pyrite Town for
five seconds. Advance and use the bridge. Go inside the Colosseum and talk to
the people. They'll tell you about a trainer that won the last competition and
has a Shadow Pokémon. It is Cail and he is waiting at the entrance.
________________
|                | Rogue Cail has Ralts, Seedot and Machop besides his Shadow
| Shadow Pokémon | Pokémon. Ralts is bad against Dark Pokémon and Machop can
|   Furret       | be killed with a single Psychic attack.
|                |
|   Level 33     |
|________________|
Go to the Colosseum after the movie, a man in a White lab coat will come out
from one of the buildings. Talk with him (in and outside of the building). He
will tell you that a piece from the Generator was stolen. Go to the
Construction Site.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Go to the Construction Lot. The Missing Gear is in the upper right corner. Go
back to the room with the generator. Install the Gear again and talk to the
people there. Go to the Colosseum now. You'll have to win the challenge to get
access to the Shadow Pokémon building.
The first trainer uses Barboach and Sandshrew. Sandshrew is weak against
Water/Grass attacks. Use electric against Barboach if Flaaffy is purified
enough. The second trainer has Natu and Meditite. Use Dark Attacks against Natu
and Psychic against Meditite. All Pokémon up until now are level 30.
The third trainer uses Electrike (30), Cacnea (31), and Vulpix (32). Cacnea is
weak against Fire, Ground attacks are super effective against Electrike, and
Vulpix can't stand Water. The Fourth trainer has Magnemite (31), Bagon (32),
Goldeen (32), and Delibird (34). Use Electric attacks to fight Bagon and
Goldeen. Use Fighting attacks against Delibird.
You'll get Toxic for winning. Go outside and talk to the Cipher Peon. He'll
bring you to the previously locked building. One of the Peons in the building
recognizes you. One of the trainers will attack you.
________________
|                | Cipher Peon Nore has Pineco, Surskit and Nincada besides
| Shadow Pokémon | his Yanma. They're around level 32. Use Psychic attacks
|   Yanma        | against Nincada.
|                |
|   Level 30     |
|________________|
Grab the Ein File H and go to the elevator. Attack the trainer. It is a female
chase with Phanpy and Trapinch. Use Water/Psychic against them. Go to the next
room where a boy stands with a Taillow and a Hoothoot. Electric Attacks are
very effective. You can use the PC and the Heal machine now.
I'm not going to give detailed instructions as it is impossible to get lost in
this building. Use the stairs and fight a Bandana Guy with Larvitar (weak
against Water), Carvanha, and Barboach. Use electric attacks against them. The
next trainer has Remoraid and Magnemite. Use Electric and Ground attacks.
The next opponent has Wingull and Wooper. You can use electric attacks if
Flaaffy is purified enough. You could also use Grass Attacks against Wooper.
The next trainer has Electrike and Voltorb. They're both level 31. Use
Makuhita.
Use the stairs and fight the female trainer there. She has Swablu, Doduo and
Ledyba. Use Psychic attacks against Ledyba. If you have healed Flaaffy enough,
you can use him against Doduo and Swablu. The next trainer has a Spheal and a
Snorunt. Use electric attacks against Spheal and a Fire attack against Glalie
his pre-evolution, Snorunt. You can find a Treasure chest on this floor too,
check in every room to find chests.
Advance to find another two trainers on this floor. The first trainer has
Horsea, Sandshrew and Oddish. Horsea can't stand electric attacks. Oddish can
be defeated with Fire attacks so you can use Slugma/Quilava if they're
purified. Use Espeon's Confusion against Sandshrew.
The last trainer on this floor has Cacnea and Tentacool. Use Fire attacks
against Cacnea and electric ones against Tentacool if you can. Use the stairs
to go to the last floor of this building. Go past the trainer and use the door
that is a bit further. A short movie will start starring Silva.
________________
|                | The first trainer has Remoraid, Luvdisc and Spinarak. Use
| Shadow Pokémon | electric attacks against Luvdisc and Psychic attacks
|   Remoraid     | against Spinarak. I wouldn't try to attack Remoraid at the
|                | moment unless you have a really weak attack. If you killed
|   Level 20     | him by accident, use an untrained Plusle later. The next
|________________| trainer will attack immediately.
________________
|                | Mirror B Peon Ferma has Furret, Aipom, Yanma and Mantine.
| Shadow Pokémon | Use Fighting attacks against Furret and Aipom if you use
|   Mantine      | Makuhita. Use Espeon against Yanma. Mantine is good for
|                | your team, he is a strong Pokémon.
|   Level 33     |
|________________|
Pick up the Ein File and talk to Silva. Go down the stairs in the room and use
the elevator. Pick up the Hyper Potions and heal yourself. Go up the stairs
again and attack the trainer you passed the last time up there. It turns out
that he is one of Mirror B's henchmen too.
________________
|                | The Hunter has three level 33 Pokémon. They are Goldeen,
| Shadow Pokémon | Linoone, and Qwilfish. Qwilfish and Goldeen are bad against
|   Qwilfish     | electric attacks. Use Fighting attacks against Linoone.
|                |
|   Level 33     |
|________________|
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Enter the cave after defeating the guard in front of it. Go to the right of
your television screen until you can't progress anymore. You'll find a Treasure
Chest there that contains three ethers. Go back until you see a road that heads
north. Go through it to reach another Treasure chest. Go back to the stairs you
saw and battle the trainer. That trainer has an Anorith and a Lotad. Use
Psychic
moves against Anorith and electric against Lotad.
Go down using the stairs. There is a trainer there. It is a chaser with Ralts,
Koffing, and Shroomish as Pokémon. Use Dark Attacks against Ralts and Psychic
against Koffing. Use Fire Pokémon to kill Shroomish. Use the next pair of
stairs to go up again. This area leads to nowhere but it has two trainers and a
trainer chest so it is certainly worth visiting. The chest contains three Ultra
Balls.
The first trainer has a Geodude, a Lotad, a Snorunt, and a Slakoth. Geodude can
be killed with Psychic moves. Use Fire against Lotad and Snorunt. Slakoth is
bad against Fighting Pokémon. The other fight is a bit harder. That trainer has
four Pokémon, they're all Lotad. You probably don't have anything that is super
effective against him so use Electric/Fire attacks.
________________
|                | Go back down the stairs and head north this time. You'll
| Shadow Pokémon | encounter a trainer with a Shadow Meditite. The trainer also
|   Meditite     | has Bagon and Numel. Use Water against Numel and Ice attacks
|                | against the Dragon Pokémon Bagon.
|   Level 33     |
|________________|
Go a bit further and turn right. Battle the trainer. He has Lotad, Slakoth, and
Whismur. Whismur and Slakoth are bad against Fighting attacks. (Makuhita) Lotad
has no weakness that you can exploit at the moment. Fire/Electric attacks do
normal damage. You can get a Full Heal from the Treasure Chest after the fight.
Go back to the stairs and go down. Walk to the west and you'll encounter a
female trainer.
________________
|                | This trainer has Dunsparce, Mareep, and Cacnea. Use Fire to
| Shadow Pokémon | defeat Cacnea and use Ground/Fighting attacks against Mareep
|   Dunsparce    | so that only Dunsparce remains. Try to weaken him with Dark
|                | attacks.
|   Level 33     |
|________________|
Advance and you'll finally find a PC to save. You can heal your Pokémon so you
won't have to go outside. Use the stairs. There is a trainer immediately after
the stairs. He has Lotad and Lombre. Lotad and Lombre have no weakness that you
can exploit at the moment. Fight the trainer next to the stairs.
________________
|                | Hunter Zalo uses Lotad, Lombre, Beldum, and Swablu. Use
| Shadow Pokémon | regular attacks against Lotad and Lombre. Don't use Water
|   Swablu       | attacks. Beldum is weak against Fire and Dark. Swablu is bad
|                | against Ice Attacks but you don't have those. Don't be
|   Level 33     | afraid of killing him with one hit.
|________________|
Ignore the stairs and go to the right. The trainer you see has Pineco, Shuppet,
and Koffing. Use Psychic against Koffing and Dark against Shuppet. Use Fire
against Pineco. Go to the south where you should find another item. Go back to
the last staircase you saw. It will lead you to many treasure chests.
Go to the left and defeat the trainer with the two Zigzagzoon and Linoone.
Anything should kill them. You don't need a strategy here. After beating him,
you'll reach the chests containing Zinc, Protein, Carbos, and Iron. Go back to
the stairs. If you want, you can go to the north there and battle two more
trainers. You won't get anything for it though.
The first of those trainers uses Natu, Tentacool, and Teddiursa. Use Dark
Attacks against Natu, Fighting against Teddiursa and Electric/Grass against
Tentacool. Spheal (34), Lileep (32), and Dustox (33) are the Pokémon of the
first trainer. Electric Attacks work great against Spheal. Lileep and Dustox
should be defeated with Fire attacks. Use the stairs again and head back to the
staircase you didn't use yet. Follow the path and you'll eventually find Cipher
Admin Mirror B.
________________
|                | Mirror B is the first Cipher Admin that is going to fall. He
| Shadow Pokémon | has four Ludicolo and a Sudowoodo. Sudowoodo is a Shadow
|   Sudowoodo    | Pokémon. Ludicolo is a Grass/Water type so there aren't many
|                | super effective attacks. Your best bet is to use Fire and
|   Level 35     | Electric moves.
|________________|
Get the Ein File that is lying on the ground. Don't forget the TM. Go to the
next room. Open the chest that contains the Macho Brace and talk to Plusle.
Duking will come in and give you Plusle. Go to the Police Office and take the
Jail Key from the table. Release the prisoners and grab the TM at the table. It
contains Thief.
Go to the Fortune Teller after beating Mirror B. She will suggest that you go
and visit Agate Village. You can now go there. You can also battle against
everyone again. You should try to level up against Cail and battle the trainers
at the square to purify your Pokémon.
===============================================================================
3.5- Agate Village                                                  [A305]
===============================================================================
Walk around the town. There are many Treasure Chests. You can find an old man
with his Taillow. He'll give you a Berry every day. There is also a Treasure
chest with an Exp. Share item. You have to go behind one of the houses to reach
it. If you go down the hill at the Pokémon Center and follow the path at the
front of the screen, you'll find Quick Claw in a chest.
Go to the house with the tree on the top. It is Eagun and Beluh's home. If you
go in, Rui will start talking to them and they're relieved to see their
granddaughter is all right. She introduces you to them. A man will come barging
in and saying that someone is in Relic Forest. Eagun goes there and you have to
go and help him.
Go to the Pokémon Center and head down the hill there. Enter the cave and you
will have to fight Cipher Peon Doven. She has two Water Pokémon so I hope that
your Flaaffy has been trained so that he has an electric attack. If he has,
taking down Spheal and Carvanha will be easy. Otherwise, you should use Bayleef
if you chose him in Phenac City.
Cipher peon Silton is the next opponent. He has Cacnea and Shroomish. Fire
attacks like that of Slugma are effective. You can use Espeon's Confusion to
attack the other Pokémon.
Proceed a little further and another Peon will appear. This one will drop from
the ceiling. This one has three level 35 Pokémon: Ralts, Kirlia, and Baltoy.
Use Water attacks against Baltoy. You can also use Dark Attacks against all of
them. Don't use Psychic attacks because they aren't effective.
Go save now because an important fight will follow. If you go further, you'll
see that Eagun is fighting a Cipher Peon. He has his Level 50 Pikachu and the
opponent uses a Shadow Hitmontop that is level 38. With only two attacks,
Pikachu is defeated.
________________
|                | This Cipher Peon has four Pokémon Geodude (38), Wynaut (37),
| Shadow Pokémon | Clamperl (38) and Hitmontop (38). Use Psychic/Water attacks
|   Hitmontop    | against Geodude. Clamperl is weak against electric attacks
|                | so bring along Flaaffy. Wynaut can be killed quickly with
|   Level 38     | Dark attacks. Don't use Psychic attacks against Hitmontop
|________________| but use Umbreon's attacks to bring his HP down. Umbreon
doesn't have moves that will do a lot of damage against
Hitmontop.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
After winning against the Cipher Peon Skrub, you'll be returned to Eagun's
House. Rui's grandmother goes upstairs; she is searching for the Small Tablet.
You have to visit one of Eagun's friends; he lives in the neighborhood of the
Pokemart. After having a chat with him, you'll have to go back to Eagun. They
found the Small Tablet. You should go to the Relic Stone where you fought the
Cipher Peon. You'll receive a mail that there is trouble on Mt. Battle when you
leave Eagun's house. You shouldn't go there yet.
Go back to the Relic Stone and pick up the Ein File C. The C stands for Celebi.
You can use the Relic Stone from now on to purify Shadow Pokémon. You have to
unlock the final lock here. It will receive all of his experience points, a
ribbon, and its old attack instead of Shadow Rush. It might even evolve. You
should go back to Pyrite Town and purify your Pokémon there.
There is a trainer outside of the Agate Pokémon Center too. He has three
Pokémon. He has Swellow, Rhyhorn, and Sunflora. Use a Psychic attack against
Rhyhorn and an electric attack against Swellow. If you trained Slugma, use it
against Sunflora. Go down the hill at the Daycare and get the Cologne Case from
the woman. She has two Cologne Cases so she is happy to give you one.
There is a Pokémon trainer in front of the Pokemart too. He has a Machop, a
Seedot, and a Furret. Use a Psychic move against Machop and a Fire attack
against Seedot. Use regular attacks against Furret. You don't have anything
useful against him at the moment.
===============================================================================
3.6- Mt. Battle                                                     [A306]
===============================================================================
There are people outside telling you about Mt. Battle. They might want to fight
you later but just go inside for now. Make sure you are healed, and then
continue through the big door. You'll have to fight ten trainers there. You can
save and heal yourself between fights.
The first trainer uses three Pokémon that are weak against Water so I hope your
Mantine is trained. He has Numel, Trapinch and Sandshrew. The second trainer
uses a Swinub, a Baltoy and a Pupitar. They're all weak against Water Pokémon.
You can also use Fire against the icy Swinub. The third trainer's entire team
can be killed with attacks like Surf.
Rider Riden has Pineco, Baltoy, Graveler and Houndour. Hunter Telia has two
Trapinch, a Barboach, and a Lileep. Trapinch and Lileep are Ground Pokémon so
use Water attacks. Barboach is weak against Electricity. Street Performer has
Cacnea, Spinda, and Kadabra. Hunter Weeg has Sandslash, Graveler and Vibrava.
They're all weak against Water attacks.
Cipher Peon Kison has two Pokémon that are weak against Dark Pokémon, Duskull,
and Kirlia. Use Psychic moves against Koffing. You don't have anything
effective against Houndour right now. Cipher Peon Perin is also weak against
Water attacks just like the first three. You can also use Leaf attacks if you
want.
________________
|                | Cipher Admin Dakim is the second Cipher Admin that is going
| Shadow Pokémon | to be defeated. This is a very troublesome fight. Dakim has
|   Entei        | four Pokémon that can use Earthquake. The Shadow Pokémon,
|                | the legendary dog Entei, is weak against Earthquake so you
|   Level 40     | will want to kill the other Pokémon s quickly as possible.
|________________| Entei is weak against fire and ground attacks so you might
refrain from using those attacks. His first four Pokémon use
Protect too so there will always be one Pokémon protected. Concentrate your
attacks on the other one. (A Pokémon won't use Protect two times in a row.)
Metang is weak against Dark Attacks. Camerupt is bad against Water attacks just
like Golem. Use Leaf attacks against Swampert. Don't try to use an electrical
Pokémon, he wouldn't last very long.
Pick up the F-Disk that is located there. Vander will also give you the Time
Flute which can cure Pokémon in one go. You can now choose between continuing
your journey and leveling up at Mt. Battle. I decided to do the latter option.
===============================================================================
3.7- The Under                                                      [A307]
===============================================================================
If you want to continue, you should go back to Agate Village and talk to Eagun.
Give him your PDA number. Talk to the old man in Agate Village too. You'll
unlock the Shadow Pokémon lab. Go there and you'll get a mail. Return to Pyrite
Town. Go to the Police office and talk to the prisoners. Grab the key.
Go to the house where you went after winning the Colosseum battle and go in the
elevator. If you want to train, you can fight all trainers again. When you walk
to the left, you'll see Venus on the television. You can walk around freely
after that. There aren't any trainers there at the moment.
Go to the Inn, take the stairs, and save at the PC there. Go outside and follow
the road until you talk to a guy that says stuff as been disappearing. Go
downstairs and the kid there asks you to deliver a piece to his friends. Go to
the square in the middle of The Under and go to the left of your screen. Talk
with the kids there and go inside. Do a little more talking. They'll ask for
your PDA number when you want to leave. After that, you'll find out they
captured the spy. Go to the elevator and you'll see they caught Silva.
________________
|                | Your first opponent is Cipher Peon Kloak. He has a Shadow
| Shadow Pokémon | Pokémon, it is a Ledian. Her two other Pokémon are Spinarak
|   Ledian       | and Volbeat. They're both weak against Psychic and Fire
|                | attacks. Use Dark attacks against Ledian to weaken it. Bring
|   Level 40     | a weak Pokémon if you decided to train at Mt. Battle like I
|________________| did. Another Cipher Peon attacks you immediately. That
trainer has Illumise, Ariados, and Gloom. They're all bad
against Fire Pokémon but you can also use Psychic attacks against Illumise and
Ariados because they're bug Pokémon.
Talk to Silva, he will give you the R-Disk. To talk to Silva, you need to go to
the side of the prison. Head back to the Town Square where you can find a
machine. Talk to the machine and enter the R-Disk. If you use the F-Disk, you
can heal your Pokémon at the Colosseum. You can also save there. Go inside the
dome after using the R-Disk and open the treasure chest with the three Rare
Candies, which is one of the rooms.
________________
|                | Talk to Venus. She has one level 40, Suicune. Her Vileplume
| Shadow Pokémon | is level 44. Her three other Pokémon are level 45. They are
|   Suicune      | a Steelix, a Banette and a Delcatty. Use Fighting moves
|                | against Delcatty. Don't bring a fighting Pokémon out when
|   Level 40     | Banette is on the field. Banette can be killed by using Dark
|________________| attacks. Steelix and Vileplume are weak against fire moves.
Don't use electric and plant Pokémon when you're weakening
Suicune, he is very vulnerable against them. Don't forget the Ein File F and
some treasure chests you couldn't grab without drawing Venus' attention.
Go heal your Pokémon and come back. Use the stairs. Use the right exit instead
of the one Venus uses. Follow the stairs and you'll encounter four trainers.
They each have a Shadow Pokémon. You'll find three chests while you're doing
this. You get 2 Timer Balls, 4 Ultra Balls and 2 Max Potions.

|                | The first trainer uses Shroomish (35), Jigglypuff (38),
| Shadow Pokémon | Teddiursa (37), and Gligar (43). Teddiursa and Jigglypuff
|   Gligar       | are bad against Fighting Pokémon. Shroomish is bad against
|                | Fire Pokémon. Don't use Psychic/Fire Pokémon against Gligar.
|   Level 43     | Dark Attacks don't hurt him a lot so that might be the best
|________________| to lower his health.
________________
|                | The second trainer has Kirlia (37), Roselia (38), Gloom (38)
| Shadow Pokémon | and Stantler (43). Kirlia can be killed with Dark Attacks.
|   Stantler     | The two other regular Pokémon are weak against Fire Pokémon.
|                | Don't do too much damage to Stantler. He has two moves that
|   Level 43     | do him damage too.
|________________|
________________
|                | The third trainer owns Octillery (38), Masquerain (39),
| Shadow Pokémon | Dunsparce (39), and Piloswine (43). Masquerain is weak
