1. Introduction
Hey hows life? This is the first FAQ I have submitted to Gamefaqs.com so go
easy on me. :P If you do I will put your cookie in the mail. Pokemon XD Gale of
Darkness is an awsome game and I hope that this FAQ will help you in the game.
Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness is the latest Pokemon game for Nintendo Gamecube.
It starts 5 years after the previous Nintendo Gamecube Pokemon game "Pokemon
Coloseum", the evil Team Cipher has returned with all new shadow pokemon and
with possibly the best shadow pokemon ever created. There are over 80 snagable
pokemons in this game and you can get over 180 total pokemons. Pokemon XD is a
must buy for pokemon fans and non pokemon fans will get a kick out of it too.
The dissaperance of a cargo ship and sightings of some kind of Lugia leave
plenty of unanswered questions.
Please keep all phones(this includes cell phones) off and please refrain from
talking while reading this Walkthrough. :P OK just kidding. Please enjoy the
walkthrough!

without my permission. If you want my permission, email me at

3. Walkthrough
Before I start the walkthough, I need you to know how I do things around here,
you gonna have to read and read good. I will not repeat myself under any
circumstances.
OK, first off I break things down into chapters, the chapters are based on the
Cipher Admins you must fight, the final dungeon, and any things that you may
do after you beat the final boss of the game. Each of the Chapters are broken
into little ummm, "pages" of each place you have to visit in each "chapter",
in order of course. If there is a trainer to fight it will be put into a box
like the box shown below.
__________

| Kaminko Aide Chobin       ( $ 150 |
'---.------------------------>----- <
| Sunkern    | GRS       |  L5  |
'------------'-----------'------'
The box shows the trainer's name, how much cash you get for winning, the
pokemon they have, what type it is and the level. And I will put some advice
below too for most of them.
If a Shadow Pokemon is on your opponent's team, I will put a * symbol after
their name.
Now, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, it's Walkthrough time!
*******************************************************************************
4.1 Up to Lovrina
4.1.1 Pokemon HQ Lab
The opening scene shows a ship called the S.S Libra minding it's own business,
just floating down an ocean, when all of the sudden........Helicoptors Attack!
Along with some huge pokemon that looks similar to LUgia, hmmmmmmmm. This, uh,
pokemon uses it's powers to take the ship away, leaving the ship's crew
soaking in the water. But this has absolutely nothing to do with you, yet
anyway.
Then bam cue you. You start off controling a level 50 Salamance and your
opponent has a level 50 Metagross. This battle is alot eaiser then it looks,
all you have to do is use Earthquake twice and the Metagross is fainted. Some
battle........
Then you come out of the battle simulator, which is just a training device
used to well, train. You don't in reallity have a level 50 Salamance, you just
have a level 10 Eevee. Well it was fun while it lasted....
Take all the time you want to explore the Pokemon HQ Lab, memorize where
everything is. The room to the West is where you need to go to meet Prof. Krane
and your mother Lily, who is his assistant. Lily asks if you will find your
sister Jovi, say yes, even though as soon as you find Jovi you will wish you
never said yes. Start looking for her anyway though, explore some more,
talking to everyone you can. When you are ready, go to your room, which is on
the west side of the building on the ground floor, and pick up your PDA(which
is on the table shining)and 3 Potions(which are in the chest that looks like
a pokeball). Talk to Adon who is hiding under a table in the upstairs room,
does he have issuses or something? Oh wait never mind he's just playing hide
and seek with your sister, Jovi. He will tell you that Jovi is at Dr.
Kaminko's house southeast to the lab.
Well, now that you know, go as far north as possible, ok just kidding,
get going to Dr. Kaminko's. Exit the building, but before you leave the area,
go down the stairs and go to the west, you will find 2 Anidotes.
*******************************************************************************
4.1.2 Dr. Kaminko's House
Ok, cue lightning! Ok, lets try that again, cue lightning! There we go! This
place belongs to the mad man known as Dr. Kaminko.
Go up to the house if you dare, and you will be attacked by his aide Chobin...
/ TRAINER \_________________,------.
| Kaminko Aide Chobin       ( $ 150 |
'---.------------------------> ----- <
| Sunkern    | GRS       |  L5  |
'------------'-----------'------'
2 Bite attacks will do him in. After you beat him your sister will emerge from
the house and say that she comes here all the time(Uhhhhhhh). Chobin will
apolagize for attacking you, saying that he though you were a burgler, he
will invite you to meet Dr. Kaminko, and will show you a video of one of
the Docter's inventions. (Please feel free to gag and gag some more) When
that horrifing movie is over, go into the other room and talk to Jovi. Since
you got lost and were crying for your mommy, Jovi will offer to show you the
way home, how nice of her. Yeah right......
*******************************************************************************
4.1.3 Pokemon HQ Lab
When you arive, Lily will be relieved to have Jovi back, and she says that you
need to go see Prof. Krane. Find the Prof. and he'll give you the Snag Machiene,
a device capable of stealing pokemon from trainers! All while fitting
comfertably on your arm. OH wait, it only works on Shadow Pokemon. Well good
enough. Prof. Krane's other assistant Aidan will give you 5 Pokeballs so you
can start snagging.
Just as the Prof. is about to take you to the Battle Sim to try out this
incredible device, he's ambushed and taken away by some guys with no fasion
sense what so ever! Run outside, and you'll see the Prof. getting hit with a
hammer over and over again! Ok not really, but you do find that they are
taking the Prof. to help them with their reserch.
Being the good person that you are, you fight Naps, one of the kidnappers, or
professor nappers or something.

| Teddiursua*| NRM       | L11+|
'------------'-----------'------'
This guy has a pretty decent pokemon, but wait! It's a Shadow Pokemon! You
get to steal a pokemon! IN this battle, you can't do anything but throw the
pokemon, the Prof. won't let you do anything else. You automaticly get this
pokemon, nothing you do can screw this up. But for future reference you need
to weaken the pokemon before you try to catch the pokemon. Once you win the
spys will run for it, taking the Prof. with 'em. Lily and Aidan believe that
there are more shadow pokemon out there, but without the Prof. they can't
finish the Purification Chamber to purify the pokemon. But Lily decides that
they must get it done with or without the Prof., and he asks you to go to
Gateon Port to get a Machine Part for them. Jovi, of course, offers to take
you there, because you get "lost" to easily. Congrats, you are Jovi's
"assistant" for the day, yay, uhhh, party, w00t w00t. OK not really.
*******************************************************************************
4.1.4 Gateon Port
When you arive you sister will run into a thug named Zook, seriously what
kinda name is Zook? He gets mad and is about to attack you with a Shadow
Zangoose when Mr. Verich appears one of his bodyguards,(boy he needs them)
Mystery Man Ardos, fights Zook for you. He creams Zook with a very high level
Alakazam's Psychic attack. Please observe all Abra raisers(Abra is the 1st
form of Alakazam, Abra evolves into Kadabra, you then must trade Kadabra and it
will evolve into Alakazam, but this has nothing to do with XD.), for this is
how to kick some backside with an Alakazam.
After seeing the fight, head west and you will run into Jovi's friend Emily and
her mother. Afterward, go into the parts shop(there is a big wrench on top of
the building.)and talk to some people.
Very importent! This is the time where you get an opportunity to pick what you
want your Eevee to evolve into. The to the man to your right when you enter
the door, and agree to listen to his story. He will then offer to give you an
item that will help you evolve your Eevee: Fire Stone, Thunderstone, Water
Stone, Moon Shard and Sun Shard. They will evolve into that respective type.
But remember, if you use the shards you must wait until you have a good
friendship with your Eevee while possessing one of the shards and upon
leveling up it will evolve into an Umbreon or an Espeon.
Go outside and onto the dock and Perr will appear, go back to the shop you
were just at and talk to him to get the machine part you need for the
Pokemon HQ Lab.
There are some items that can be found here, most of them are in the
Lighthouse which is only accessable via the moving bridges.
There are also a few trainers to battle. You see that ship by the dock? Talk
to that sailer and he'll ask you if you think he won 2nd place in a talent
contest, say no and he'll attack.

.---'------------'-----------'------'
This dude is easy, what you evolved your Eevee into really won't have a
factor here. Just beat him. Once you win head toward the lighthouse. Take
the stairs to get to the top to get some items. The person at the top has
a Shadow Poochyena, alright!

'------------'-----------'------'
For this battle be careful about the Poochyena, I found it very useful in
the early going. Make sure that you nag it. Now go to the northeast via
the moving brides. You will find a dude with a Shadow Ledyba.

'------------'-----------'------'
Be sure and snag this one, it is always good to snag the pokemon. Take out
Tailow with Bite or Return, and then weaken Ledyba enough so you can
capture it. Next go to a building in the East called the Krabby Club. You
will fight a couple guys here.

These guys are easy, just beat 'em and get it over with. When you are
done stop by Dr. Kaminko's house, Perr's father is there visiting the
mad doctor.
*******************************************************************************

| Sunkern    | GRS       |  L6  |
| Magikarp   | WTR       |  L6  |
'------------'-----------'------'
Chobin will stop you again. Thinking you are burglar, he doesn't have a memory,
cause if he did, he would remember the thwomping you handed to him the last
time this happenned. He still has the Sunkern, but now he also has a Magikarp,
the worst pokemon alive, Magikarp and Chobin go hand in hand. Remind Chobin
just how good you really are. Get rid of the Sunkern, as Magikarp can't even
attack.
Inside, talk to Maken(Perr's dad) and explain all that has happenned. That's
all you have to do here, head for the Pokemon HQ Lab.
*******************************************************************************
4.1.6. Pokemon HQ Lab
Talk to your mom on the second floor and give her the machine part. She'll be
happy, and after some talking, Jovi leaves, and your mom will ask you to go to
Agate Village. Say yes and be on your way!
*******************************************************************************
4.1.7. Agate Village
If you have played Pokemon Coloseum, this will be the most familer place. A
few things are different, but nothing big.
If you are looking for experiance and poke dollars talk to the town citazens.
There are so many trainers your head will spin. Talk to everyone that you can.
And there are some items that require you to go through caves and behind
houses, it might take a while to find ways to get to all of them. Alot of the
citizens want to battle, and pokemon love the extra experiance, plus, this is
the place that you can purify shadow pokemon, yay! Battle everyone so you can
lower the Heart Gauge of your Shadow Pokemon.
Behind the Poke Mart, you can find a cave that has a Poke Ball and a Super
Potion in it, along with an old woman that will teach your pokemon either
Thunder Wave, Mimic, or Seismic Toss. Not all pokemon can learn these moves,
but as for those who can, it is a good idea to teach it to them. Thunder Wave
is recommended, because 75% of the time the pokemon that goes first wins the
battle, and thunder wave parylizes the opponent, which means it greatly lowers
their speed. Keep in mind that you can only teach the move to them once, so
teach it to a Pokemon that you will use often.
Next go infront of the Pokemart and talk to the old man there and prepare for
a battle!

'------------'-----------'------'
Once you win, head into the Pokemart if you want. They have all the same things
as the first game, including the clogones to massage your pokemon.(Incase you
didn't know, massaging your pokemon lowers their heart gauge.) But they are
Pokeball less. So you can't stock up on Pokeballs just yet. Find the giant
tree, which is acctully Eagun's house, and go inside. His wife will tell you
that they were expecting you and that Eagun isn't home. But low and behold he
comes in right as she says that. He says hello, and then runs off to the Relic
Stone, which of course he doesn't tell you how to get there. But hey, thats my
job, not his, so just hang tight and read on. You can go upstairs if you wish,
but there is nothing there except 2 beds. So go ahead and leave the house.
Around the back of the house to the left is a ramp that will lead you to a
chest with 3 potions. There is also a lady who wants to battle you.

'------------'-----------'------'
She gives you TM09(Bullect Seed) when you win. Head back up to the tree house
and accross the bridge to the east, then go north and an Old Man will give
you a Leppa Berry, come back here often, he gives you  berries all the time.
The house you just passed is the day care, there is nobody in there except
the name rater, so if you want to change your pokemon's name, talk to him.
Outside, and farther to the east is a chest containing an Eather. Alright,
back up 1 bridge and you will find the Pokemon Center, heal up if you want,
but if you don't continue on.
Down the hill from the Pokemon Center is a trainer trying to escape, lets
make sure he can't.

---------------------------------
This is the 1st battle that should take a few or more turns, but it is still
pretty easy. He says he was trying to look at the Relic Stone, but can't so
he got lost in frustration. So head to the Pokemon Center, that little hill
right infront of the PokeCenter leads you down to a cave, once you enter
you will see a long line of trainers that you have to battle. You can't
skip anyone so get ready.  The good thing about this is it lowers your
Pokemon's heart gauge.

You get a clogone case for beating him, yay! INside the next entrance,
Eagan is wating for you. He says you should have your pokemon ready to
be purified, so he's battling you for experience.

| Myth Trainer Eagun        ( $1200 |

| Pikachu    | ELC       | L12  |
'------------'-----------'------'
Not that hard here, but still kinda challenging. His Pikachu knows
Thunderbolt, a very powerful electric attack. So be ready all of you
who picked Vaporeon. He still should be beat in 2-3 turns. After you
win you should have some pokemon with the heart gauge all empty. Here
is where you purify your Pokemon. Step up to the Relic Stone and get
purifying. Your ex shadows will learn new moves and they will gain all
the EXP from the battles they were in.
Eagun will ask that you go to Mt. Battle to talk to a friend of his
named Vander about Cipher. Vander knows alot about Cipher, so of
course stop by Mt. Battle!
*******************************************************************************
4.1.8. Mt. Battle
Welcome one welcome all to the Mountain of the Mountains, Mt. Battle. When you
arive to this wonderful vacation spot you will be greeted by the red bodyguard
of Mr. Verich. He says he comes here often to train, ummm, thats nice. He then
leaves, he's rather...odd. He didn't even give you his name. But don't worry
about that now, you'll see plenty more of him as the game progresses.
Now you should like this place, it is THE BEST place to train, I don't care
what other people tell you this is the place to go. Now once inside, you will
see a place to heal and a place to buy things. Go to the right and find 2 men
sitting on benches. One of them is the Move Deleter, his name is self
explanitory, but if you need me to explain, he deletes Pokemon's moves. If
you feel you just have to have a move deleted(I don't see why you'd want to,
but thats none of my business), then this is the place to be.
Below him is the Move Tutor, who will teach your Pokemon any move that they
have already known. He is quite good if you accidently delete an importent
move. The bad thing is he charges 1,000 Pokedollars for his services. The
Move Deleter does his stuff for free.
Talk to the lady near the door, she will tell you Vander was killed in a
serious, ummm, paper cut incident. Ok just kidding, she'll tell you that
he is currently in a training session with some new trainers, you know
teaching them the basics. She will let you through so you can find Vander,
but you have to go through 2 trainers before you find him. Then a 3rd when
you do find him.
Start goint through Mt. Battle, when you get in you will be greeted by a
new trainer who wants to battle you. Get ready to rock.

and he will ask you to battle a trainer he is currently teaching, being
the good person I hope you are, you will accept.

--------------------------------
Once you win, Vander will tell you about a Lab to the south that was used
by Cipher long ago during the previous Shadow Pokemon crisis, and that he
has seen some suspicious activity around there recently. Now, why do you
always have to be the one to check things out, to save the day, why can't
it be a responsible adult sometimes? Oh never mind....
Anyway, sounds like you have to check it out. As you leave the great
mountain, you'll get an E-mail saying you can buy Pokeballs at the Agate
Village Pokemart. Yay! Head there to stock up on the good stuff. I
recommend getting about 15-20 Pokeballs. There are about a dozen shadows
to snag at the Lab, so you want to have some to spare. Some healing
items will come in handy too. So if you want get some.
