Chaser Rugen
P$ = 820
Opponents: Vigoroth Lv41 Exp: 553
Shelgon Lv40 Exp: 616
No trouble at all. Thunderdance Vigoroth and Aurora Beam/Ice Beam Shelgon.
---------------------------
He relinquishes access to the save point and healing machine. SAVE and HEAL!
Go up the stairs and an FMV begins.
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
======================================================================
The FMV is with Josh, Terra, and Gonzap, head of Team Snagem. Both
of you are surprised to see him here. Terra then reasons that this
is a Cipher headquarters, so Team Snagem shouldn't have anything to
do with this. Gonzap then explains his own reasoning. Remember the
Snag Machines that Team Snagem had before the explosion? The one
that was caught in the explosion and the other one Josh made off with?
Well, he reveals that Cipher created them and gave them to Team
Snagem, which makes Cipher and Snagem allies. But this is not the only
reason why Gonzap is here. He is also to settle a score with Josh.
You know what that means? Battle time!
======================================================================

After the FMV, Gonzap will fight you.

SHADOW Pokémon #36/48: Skarmory
P$ = 5,300
Opponents: Shiftry Lv53 Exp:1,027
Crawdaunt Lv52 Exp: 897
Pinsir Lv52 Exp:1,044
Hariyama Lv53 Exp:1,113
Skarmory Lv47 SHADOW Pokémon #36/48
This is a very difficult battle, but not as difficult as the one with Ein.
Raikou and Suicune will pwn here, as Thunderdance or Ice attacks will pwn
any of his Pokémon except Hariyama. Do not underestimate the power of this
team. It has the potential to take your Beasts' HP lower than you are
comfortable seeing them at. Now for his Shadow Pokémon...
This is a tough Snag. You will meet him again during your second trip
through the Snagem Hideout. Just beat his team and *try* to Snag his
Skarmory. It is very hard until you have the correct Pokémon to snap
it out of Shadow Rushing. It took me three tries to succeed: one here,
and two at the Hideout.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After you beat him, the left elevator opens up. Before you take it, look at
this room. Golden statues of the Legendary Beasts. How fitting! Anyway,
go back down to the save point and heal your Pokémon. SAVE, SAVE, SAVE,
and SAVE AGAIN just to be sure, before taking the left elevator up to
the Realgam Tower Colosseum, which is the site of the final battles
of the game.
l. The Showdown [S05-12SHW]
You emerge in the arena which is the most prestigious Colosseum in all
of Orre. After a short chat with Nascour, you will face a series of four
Trainers, and each one has a Shadow Pokémon. Also your party will NOT be
healed in between each battle, nor will you get a chance to use items or
save in-between battles. All your Beast training will pay healthy
dividends now. Here we gooooooooo!!

SHADOW Pokémon #37/48: Miltank
P$ = 1,800
Opponents: Zangoose Lv45 Exp: 795
Porygon2 Lv45 Exp: 867
Miltank Lv48 SHADOW Pokémon #37/48
Zangoose and Porygon2 fall to Thunderdance. Even if it weren't a Shadow
Pokémon, Miltank would be tough.
Rollout is the big problem here because it grows in power every time
it's used. If you taught your Pokémon Double Team (TM32, prize at Mt.
Battle), use it. This is a difficult Snag. As before, put it to sleep,
then weaken it carefully.
---------------------------
------Trainer Battle!------
Rider Delan
SHADOW Pokémon #38/48: Absol
P$ = 480
Opponents: Mightyena Lv46 Exp: 630
Sharpedo Lv47 Exp: 880
Absol Lv48 SHADOW Pokémon #38/48
Minus the Cacturne and Shiftry, Delan's picks are identical to Elite Four
Sidney's picks. Take them down in the same way. Thunderdance.
I don't know how you convince Absol to use anything but Shadow Rush. Use
standard procedure. If you miss, come back later and you can fight all the
Colosseum Trainers again.
---------------------------
------Trainer Battle!------
Cipher Peon Nella
SHADOW Pokémon #39/48: Houndoom
P$ = 1,920
Opponents: Torkoal Lv47 Exp: 810
Magcargo Lv48 Exp:?,???
Houndoom Lv48 SHADOW Pokémon #39/48
Resist the temptation to use Surf despite the fact that her Pokémon have a
4x weakness to Water. For Houndoom...
Don't use Surf or you'll KO it. Wear it down with an Ice Move and put it
to sleep. I skipped most of the Shadow Pokémon here because I wanted to
conserve my supplies. If you want to Snag it, use Aurora Beam (Suicune).
---------------------------
------Trainer Battle!------
Cipher Peon Ston
SHADOW Pokémon #40/48: Tropius
P$ = 1,960
Opponents: Vileplume Lv48 Exp:1,033
Cradily Lv48 Exp: 945
Cacturne Lv49 Exp: 928
Tropius Lv49 SHADOW Pokémon #40/48
All Grass. Suicune's Ice move pwns.
This is a very hard Snag because Tropius has a tendency to use Shadow Rush or
Fly, both of which make it tough to Snag. My suggestion is to come back
here with Tyranitar and use its Sand Stream to weaken it more effectively.
Raikou's Spark works OK here if you'd rather paralyze it; otherwise, use
standard procedure.
---------------------------
After defeating four Trainers, your Pokémon are fully healed. An FMV
begins with Nascour walking into the arena, while the crowd cheers for
him by chanting his name. He has a short conversation with you, then he
fights you. If you lose, you won't have to fight the four Trainers
again--Nascour will fight you again right away.

Cipher Nascour
SHADOW Pokémon #41/48: Metagross
P$ = 5,600
Opponents: Walrein Lv56 Exp:1,152
Xatu Lv54 Exp: 988
Blaziken Lv54 Exp:1,209
Gardevoir Lv55 Exp:1,255
Dusclops Lv55 Exp:1,054
Metagross Lv50 SHADOW Pokémon #41/48
No matter how you stack it up, this is going to be a very tough fight.
All of Nascour's Pokémon are in the mid-level 50's. This is where all
that training you went through will pay off. Without it, you're in for
an incredible fight. If your Beasts are each at least Lv50 and the rest
of your team averaging at least Lv42, you've got a chance. Each Pokémon
has a very powerful move you need to look out for.
Let me run through Nascour's team:
Walrein can go down to plain ol' Thunderdancing, but it can use a
very strong Ice Beam attack made even stronger by STAB. This can take
Raikou down to about 50% HP. Watch for Freeze ailments, and use Full
Heals right away if your Pokémon gets frozen.
Xatu will open with Confuse Ray to prevent your Pokémon from attacking,
then it will use a very powerful Psychic attack, achieving about the
same result as Ice Beam. Psychic can also lower your Special Defense,
making it even more powerful. Use Thunder or two to three Aurora Beams
to take it down.
Blaziken shouldn't cause you too much trouble, and is probably Nascour's
weakest Pokémon. He uses it much like I do mine. He'll raise his Evade %
with Double Team, then go for Critical Hits with Blaze Kick and other
powerful moves. Watch for burns.
Gardevoir is probably the toughest of his Pokémon. Like Xatu, it will
confuse your Pokémon so they attack themselves, then Psychic to deal
plenty of damage. This can take Raikou and even Entei down in a big hurry,
because Gardevoir's Special Attack is higher than Xatu's, and Gard is
straight Psychic, meaning it gets more STAB. Take it out with Thunder
and Dark moves, or use Umbreon or Misdreavus to confuse it ONLY if you saw
a message similar to this when Gard was sent out:
<<< GARDEVOIR TRACED Raikou's PRESSURE! >>>
Why? This is why you update your Strategy Memo. Ralts, Kirlia,
and Gardevoir either have Trace or Synchronize as Abilities. If
you didn't see the message, it means this one's got Synchronize. If
you meet a Synchronizing Gardevoir and confuse it, you'll confuse yourself
as well. Misdreavus may be a better choice than Umbreon if it's at a higher
level, due to STAB from an already strong Shadow Ball.
Dusclops employs a strategy similar to Xatu. It will confuse you, then
attack. Take it out with Shadow Ball or Bite. Watch for retaliatory moves
and Will-o-Wisp.
I recommend you save Snagging his Metagross for later, because it's
pretty tough, and your Pokémon will be pretty fatigued by now. If you
want to Snag it, use Hypnosis from Noctowl, lower its HP with Aurora Beam
even though you can't lower its Attack due to Clear Body, and throw your
Ultra Balls until you get it. If it wakes up, it will Shadow Rush. I
would save this one for later, when you have a Pokémon that can convince
it to use a different move, like Tyranitar.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Your Pokémon are fully healed again, and an FMV begins.
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
======================================================================
The FMV begins with Nascour apologizing. Terra is puzzled because she
thinks that Nascour is the boss. Then Es Cade, the mayor of Phenac,
comes in. Terra is further puzzled, and asks why he's here. Es Cade
reveals that he is the secret boss of Cipher, then reveals his true
self, Evice. He is really mad for Josh's interference, and implied
betrayal (he, after all, betrayed Team Snagem, which is allied with
Cipher.) Evice will then rant about having to resurrect the Shadow
Pokémon plan from the start. He then says he will pwn Josh so utterly
he'll never find the strength to rise up again.
======================================================================
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After the trash talk of the FMV, you will face the final boss. If he beats
you (likely), you can come back to the Colosseum and face him again without
going through the other Trainers there.

Cipher Head Evice
SHADOW Pokémon #42/48: Tyranitar
P$ = 6,100
Opponents: Scizor Lv60 Exp:1,285
Slowking Lv61 Exp:1,071
Salamence Lv60 Exp:1,401
Slaking Lv60 Exp:1,350
Machamp Lv61 Exp:1,260
Tyranitar Lv55 SHADOW Pokémon #42/48
If you didn't do much extra training, then your Beasts will only be around
Lv48, and this fight will be basically impossible. If you want a
multiplayer team to thrash your opponent with that doesn't break too many
stat tier restrictions, you can emulate Evice's team. You won't be able to
get Scizor and Slowking until you get Fire Red, however; Scyther is not
available in Leaf Green.
All of his Pokémon are sweepers, and they are designed to sweep fast.
Evice likes to use X Attack, X Speed, and X Special on his Pokémon, raising
their stats. Here's a rundown of his team. This is going to be a very,
very hard battle no matter how good you are.
Scizor loves to use Swords Dance once, then use Silver Wind. Silver
Wind is a Bug-type version of Ancientpower, meaning it will occasionally
raise ALL of its user's stats. Combine that with Swords Dance and STAB
and you have a very strong physical sweeper that will tear your team apart.
A Fire Blast will OHKO it (4x weakness), so use Entei and hope Fire Blast
doesn't miss.
Slowking is a very defensive Pokémon, but it's also got lots of attack
power, and it will use Curse to lower its Speed (which is already the
lowest in the game) to raise its Attack and Defense. It's like a free
Bulk Up. Not good. Two Thunders should take care of it. He will often
play this with one of his physical sweepers, knowing you have Raikou,
who is weak to physical blows.
Slaking will be a big pain because it has Hyper Beam, and recharges
during its loafing turn (Truant). 150 Power + STAB + X Attack = pwn.
Have Raikou's Reflect up, if you can. If you have been using Makuhita
(Hariyama) often, its Fighting type moves (Arm Thrust/Vital Throw) will
do double damage. Slaking is also very fast, but if you're using Raikou,
it won't be faster than the Beast of Thunder.
Salamence is fast and very strong. Intimidate lowers your Attack right
away, but if you're Thunderdancing like you should be, this won't be a
problem. Dragon Claw is extremely powerful, and it's got Double-Edge,
which is extremely powerful and can OHKO Raikou. It can also use Dragon
Dance to raise its obscenely high Attack even higher while increasing
its already high Speed simultaneously. It's the toughest of Evice's
Pokémon if you don't Ice it.
Machamp is another very strong physical sweeper. It's got strong attacks
like Cross Chop, perhaps the highest Attack of all the non-Legendary
Pokémon, and STAB, meaning if your Pokémon don't get OHKO'd, they will
take serious damage. He'll also use Bulk Up, raising Attack even higher.
If you can't beat it in Speed, you're probably not going to win this
battle after a couple of stat increases, unless Evice makes a really
sloppy play.
Snagging Tyranitar with Ultra Balls is a big pain compared to Raikou.
It's no problem if you have that Master Ball - just use it right now.
That's what I would do.
Hopefully you will catch enough lucky breaks to win the battle. Good luck -
you'll need all the luck you can get!

After you beat him, enjoy the ending. If you don't want me to spoil it for
you, skip down to the Side Quests section.
CLOSING FMV - ENDING SPOILER!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
======================================================================
The ending begins with Evice standing in the arena, puzzled over how
his ultimate Shadow Pokémon lost to you. Pyrite's sheriff, his
right-hand officer, Duking, and Eagun and his Pikachu surround
Evice. He tries to escape with his private helicopter, which is on
auto-pilot, when suddenly, Ho-oh appears out of nowhere, lets out a
cry, and blasts the helicopter with its trademark move, Sacred Fire.
Evice is arrested, and hauled off to jail. Ho-oh then flies very
close to the Colosseum, so you can get a good look at it. Then the
credits roll, alongside a few Pokémon that appear in this order:
Skarmory, Sneasel, Sunflora, Treecko, Mudkip, Torchic, Swablu, Yanma,
Sudowoodo, Minun, Plusle, Skiploom, Roselia, Chimecho, Pikachu,
Kirlia, Croconaw, Quilava, Bayleef, Jirachi, Suicune, Raikou, Entei,
and finally, Celebi.
======================================================================

After the credits finish rolling, you will be prompted to save your
game. Do so.

6. Side Quests
a. The Second Shadow Starter [S06-01NO2]
After the ending, you will re-appear at the Outskirt Stand. You've got mail!
=========================================
Subj: New System Done!
From: Nett from The Under
We, that's myself and Secc in Pyrite, developed a new system of
downloading data automatically to your P*DA. From now on, information
about Shadow Pokémon should arrive directly from people connected
to the network. Check it out!
=========================================
Head outside. EEEEEEE MAAAAAIL!
=========================================
Subj: Shadow Pokémon?
From: Secc in Pyrite Town
Big guy, there's trouble!
The Kid Network got word that a suspicious-looking
Pokémon was spotted in Pyrite. I'd like to give you
the full story in person, so can you come visit me?
=========================================
At this point, if you have any Pokémon that are say, Lv50+, and you want
to train them for your multiplayer team, transferring them onto Colosseum
from Ruby/Sapphire would be an excellent idea. If you can't, then your Beasts
should be around Lv55.
So we do as the guy says and head to Pyrite Town.
Talk to Secc in the backroom at the Mayor's House there. He directs
you to Cail. But before Cail tells you anything, he fights you.
------Trainer Battle!------
Rogue Cail
P$ = 912
Opponents: Granbull Lv56 Exp:1,068 (If you missed Furret)
Gardevoir Lv57 Exp:1,269
Shiftry Lv56 Exp:1,086
Machamp Lv57 Exp:1,177
Standard Thunderdancing, or pwn him with your imported Pokémon.
---------------------------
After the battle, he tells you about a Shadow Bayleef or a Shadow Quilava.
It's random which one. He will also tell you about the Snagem Hideout, which
is now a new destination on the world map. Guess where we're headed?
The Snagem Hideout!
You have 1 new message(s).
=========================================
Subj: Bayleef (Quilava) Trainer
From: Secc in Pyrite Town
Hi, big guy!
Cail wanted me to tell you that the Shadow Bayleef (Quilava)'s
trainer is named Verde (Rosso). Please take care!
=========================================
Enter the hideout and go north until you see a chest. It's got a valuable
Max Elixir inside, which restores one Pokémon's PP completely. Head over
to the right and you find a save point, so save, and head through the narrow
passage to the north. This next part is very hard to understand, so let me
explain.
Every time you pass by this location, a Cipher Peon will fight you, and
they will appear in the below order. All of them had (or still have)
Shadow Pokémon, so if you missed one of their Shadow Pokémon, you can
catch it here. All of them will fight you once, then if you missed any
of their Shadow Pokémon, they will fight you, one at a time, until you
have Snagged all of their Shadow Pokémon. Here is the list of trainers.
------Trainer Battle!------
Cipher Peon Nore
P$ = 2,200
Opponents: Ninjask Lv55 Exp: 912
Beautifly Lv54 Exp:?,???
Masquerain Lv52 Exp: 712
Forretress Lv51 Exp: 643
This guy's re-done his whole team. If anyone knows what Pokémon Aipom
would replace in his roster, let me know. All are weak to fire.
---------------------------
------Trainer Battle!------
Cipher Peon Kloak
P$ = 2,120
Opponents: Ariados Lv52 Exp: 745
Volbeat Lv53 Exp: 828
Illumise Lv53 Exp: 828 (If you missed Ledian)
Flare up with Entei.
---------------------------
------Trainer Battle!------
Cipher Peon Baila
P$ = 2,120
Opponents: Vileplume Lv51 Exp:1,005
Jumpluff Lv53 Exp: 999
Roselia Lv52 Exp: 846
Again, Entei pwns. If you didn't notice, there is no colon after Baila's
name when she makes her defeat speech. This is the only typo in the game
that I have found to this point.
---------------------------
------Trainer Battle!------
Cipher Peon Arton
P$ = 2,200
Opponents: Piloswine Lv55 Exp: 942
Glalie Lv54 Exp:1,081
Sealeo Lv50 Exp:?,??? (If you missed Delibird)
Entei will pwn all three of his Pokémon.
---------------------------
------Trainer Battle!------
Cipher Peon Dioge
SHADOW Pokémon #35/48: Heracross
P$ = 1,800
Opponents: Masquerain Lv54 Exp: 739
Forretress Lv43 Exp: 668
Dustox Lv50 Exp: 856 (If you missed Heracross)
Entei again.
---------------------------
After you pass this area, you will come to stairs leading up. Take them
to the 2F. You've got mail!
=========================================
Subj: Shadow PKMN List!
From: Nett from The Under
Hi, it's Nett. I analyzed the Shadow Pokémon List again and
discovered six more. The additions are Tyranitar, Misdreavus,
Slugma, Smeargle, Absol, and Heracross. I'll send another
update if I can find any more.
=========================================
Continue south until you reach a junction, then head to the right.
Look around for an Elixir in a chest. The room to the right leads to
stairs to the 1F. From there, two doors south leads to two Max Revives.
These revive a fainted Pokémon to full HP. In this room, there is a
Snagem grunt that will fight if you talk to him.
------Trainer Battle!------
Team Snagem Niver
**OPTIONAL**
P$ = 530
Opponents: Grovyle Lv52 Exp: 784
Vigoroth Lv52 Exp: 702
Rhyhorn Lv52 Exp: 751
Zangoose Lv53 Exp: 936
A variety of types here, but Thunderdancing works well. Suicune's Ice attack
will KO Grovyle, and the rest go down to Thunder or Surf.
---------------------------
Head up the stairs in this room. You emerge in Gonzap's room, but he's not
there. Search the room for a chest with three Rare Candies inside. If you're
training for multiplayer teams, save these items for the last few level-ups
a Pokémon needs, but make sure they have all their EVs first!
Now retrace your steps back to the junction, and head south. When you reach
the end of the room, slip through a break in the wall on the right side
to reach the stairs to the 3F. From there, search the area for a chest
containing three Max Potions. There is a trainer in the same room who will
fight you if you talk to him.
------Trainer Battle!------
Rider Rions
**OPTIONAL**
P$ = 540
Opponents: Poochyena Lv54 Exp: 318
Kadabra Lv53 Exp: 822
Linoone Lv53 Exp: 726
Mightyena Lv50 Exp: 685
None of his Pokémon are strong. You can use whatever you want and take this
guy out quickly.
---------------------------
Now go back to the stairs and make your way north and around all the junk
to the other side of the left wall. There is another Snagem grunt that will
fight you if you talk to him.
------Trainer Battle!------
Team Snagem Driton
**OPTIONAL**
P$ = 550
Opponents: Seadra Lv55 Exp: 912
Lanturn Lv50 Exp: 835
Pelipper Lv53 Exp: 930
Starmie Lv52 Exp:1,152
This guy has lots of Water-types, but that Lanturn might have Volt Absorb,
so don't use electricity on it. Use alternate methods of attack on it and
Thunderdance the rest.
---------------------------
At the end of this hall is a chest with three PP Ups inside. Save those for
your multiplayer team. Take the stairs down to the 2F. You should shortly
see a chest with two Max Ethers inside, as well as a trainer, if you head
south.
------Trainer Battle!------
Bodybuilder Colas
**OPTIONAL**
P$ = 1,296
Opponents: Shelgon Lv54 Exp: 832
Spinda Lv51 Exp: 463
Carvanha Lv51 Exp: 480
Pupitar Lv54 Exp: 832
Pupitar is 4x weak to water. Watch for the Dragon-type Shelgon's many
elemental resistances.
---------------------------
Now head to the north end of the hallway, where another optional battle
awaits.
------Trainer Battle!------
Bandana Guy Crudo
**OPTIONAL**
P$ = 880
Opponents: Weezing Lv52 Exp: 963
Swablu Lv51 Exp: 918
Linoone Lv55 Exp: 753
Sandslash Lv53 Exp: 925
Use your Beasts to overpower his team. Watch for Sandslash's Ground-type
attacks.
---------------------------
Take the stairs behind him down to the 1F. A Snagem grunt is waiting for you
near the large, broken Snag Machine. He will fight you even if you don't want
to.
------Trainer Battle!------
Team Snagem Fuston
P$ = 540
Opponents: Delibird Lv54 Exp:1,057
Swellow Lv54 Exp: 936
Beautifly Lv53 Exp: 913
Golbat Lv53 Exp: 970
They all fly, so Thunderdance.
---------------------------
There are five Ultra Balls lying on the floor next to the broken Snag
Machine. Pick them up. It's a long trek, but go back to the save point and
save your game, then pick up a Pokémon around Lv35 or so, and Noctowl
if you want. You're about to fight for a Shadow Starter!
------Trainer Battle!------
Cipher Peon Verde (Rosso)
SHADOW Pokémon #43/48: Bayleef (Quilava)
P$ = 2,200
Opponents: Sharpedo Lv53 Exp: 993
Grumpig Lv54 Exp: 948
Muk Lv55 Exp: 924
Bayleef Lv30 SHADOW Pokémon #43/48 (or Quilava)
Sharpedo is fragile, so even a Surf can take it out. Grumpig and Muk,
whatever. Here's what I did the first time through the game.
I used my :-) Lv98 Raikou to tear apart Rosso's Team, then Slam with
Quagsire (about Lv40) to get Bayleef's (Quilava's) HP low. It should only
take one Ultra Ball.
---------------------------
If you miss this chance, you will have to exit and re-enter the area,
meaning you have to go through the entire hideout again. Verde (Rosso)
will not leave until you Snag his Shadow Bayleef (Quilava).
b. The Third Shadow Starter [S06-02NO3]
From here, save your game and go to Pyrite Town. You will receive an e-mail.
=========================================
Subj: Shadow PKMN List!
From: Nett from The Under
Hi, it's Nett. I analyzed the Shadow Pokémon List again and
discovered six more. The additions are Ursaring, Skiploom,
Quagsire, Tropius, Skarmory, and Sunflora. Look for more
updates!
=========================================
Now go to The Under. You will receive another e-mail.
=========================================
Subj: Trouble in Under?
From: Secc in Pyrite Town
Hi, big guy. We've been hearing about Shadow Pokémon
from people visiting The Under from Pyrite. A lot
of the visitors have seen the Shadow Pokémon. Nett
in The Under should have more information for you.
=========================================
Now go to Nett's house and talk to him. He will refer you to
Chaser Gurks. Go find him. He will battle you before relinquishing
any information.
------Trainer Battle!------
Chaser Gurks
P$ = 1,120
Opponents: Wailord Lv56 Exp:1,234
Wailord Lv56 Exp:1,234
Thunderdance. His Wailord are resilient, so don't be too hasty.
---------------------------
After you thrash him, Gurks tells you about Rosso's (Verde's) Shadow
Quilava (Bayleef), whichever one you didn't capture at Snagem Hideout.
At this point, you should have a lot of money. While you're here, you
might consider buying supplies like Hyper Potions and Revives. Do it
if you're low. Otherwise save your money for Scents you'll be wanting
later. Exit this place and head for Pyrite.
EEEEEEEE MAAAAAAIL!
=========================================
Subj: Shadow PKMN Lab
From: Marcia in Pyrite Town
It appears as if criminals are gathering at the Shadow
Pokémon Lab again. There's more. People have seen a Cipher
Peon in a gaudy red (green) outfit with a Shadow Quilava
(Bayleef). I wonder what's up?
=========================================
We are now headed to the Shadow Pokémon Lab.
The second infiltration will be much easier than the last, regardless
of whether you traded GBA Pokémon to Colosseum or not. Every scientist
in the lab is gone, so you don't have to worry about Thunder attacks.
Every Cipher Peon you fought in this Lab (except Skrub) is here again,
waiting for a rematch with you. Most of them will drop down from out of
nowhere when you reach a certain area. They will continue to do so every
time you step there until you Snag the trainer's Shadow Pokémon. We have
already retrieved all the items from the Lab and unlocked all the doors,
so this is very straightforward. To save KB for more important things,
I will just list all the trainers in the order you fight them, assuming
you take the same paths as you did the first time you came here.
------Trainer Battle!------

Octillery Lv58 Exp: 984
Castform's weather-changing ability can cause problems, so focus all your
attacks on it first. Thunderdance makes Thunder super effective against
it. The other Pokémon will not cause a lot of trouble.
