Pokemon XD: Gale Of Darkness Hints

Get the Three Johto Starters.
To get the three Johto starters, you have to beat the 100 trainer Mt. Battle Challenge. When you do beat it, you get to pick ONE of the three Johto Starters. To get another you have to beat the 100 trainer Mt. Battle Challenge all over again. You have to beat it three times to get all three starters. It's worth it though, because they get the elemental hyper beams, frenzy plant, blast burn, and hydro cannon, which they can't get any other way but this.

Chikorita w/ frenzy plant --> Beat 100 trainer Mt. Battle Challenge
Cyndaquil w/ blast burn --> Beat 100 trainer Mt. Battle Challenge
Totodile w/ hydro cannon --> Beat 100 trainer Mt. Battle Challenge.

Save your game before you try catching a shadow pokemon then if you fail snagging it then restart your game then you'll be back were you saved and you can try catching it again!

If you got Pyrite Town, and the three poke spots,you could get a Larvitar, Shuckle,a surprise( that is not a pokemon.Trade a Wooper for Larvitar,a Surskit for Shuckle, and a Trapinch for a surprise.Enjoy!

When the pokeball opens, press and hold A button. the higher the level the pokemon the better the pokeball has to be. it may not work the first time

To read the Jovi Dairies (Made by Jovi) First go to Dr.Kaminko's House then go to the crane room. Use the cranes to get to the Jovi Diaries. Once you go to a spot where you see a chest, open it. Then it will have sheets of papers in it. It is the Jovi Diaries. Read it one by one.

First,capture Shadow Lugia.
make sure you have captured most of the Shadow Pokemon on Citidark Isle(you will need some).
Make Shadow Lugia,and Shadow Snorlax your first two Pokemon.
Get a party of nothing,but your highest lvl Shadow Pokemon.
Buy at least 50+ Ultra Balls,you can get the money by battling at Realgam Tower at least 7 times.
Make sure you defeated everyone on Citidark Isle,so you wont waste Ultra Balls on any other Pokemon.
When you fight Greevil,try to capture his Moltres,Articuno,and Zapdos first,because they're his strongest.
Paralizing them,or putting them to sleep is useful,but not necesary.
Use some attacks on them,since you have Shadow Pokemon,no attack will have a risk of taking them out,and same goes vice versa.
When they're in the yellow,or red zone,you can paralize them,put them to sleep,or try your luck by pressing both A and B rapidly,when the Ultra Ball opens,into the claw...if done right,it should automatically capture the Pokemon,if done wrong,the Pokemon will break free,regardless of its status.
Hope this helps!!
