Dragonite
To catch Dragonite you must snag all the Shadow Pokemon (mostly caught by Miror B, if you did not catch them from the trainers). The Miror Radar will go off and it will say Miror B will be in Geteon Port. He will be on the lighthouse at the very top. Battle him and he will use a level 50 Dragonite. Be careful and save the game before you battle him.
Elekid
You must do something for the news crew to get Elekid. They will ask you to check with someone and the outskirts. His name Hordel. He is from Cipher. He will give you a Togepi at level 25. He will ask you to purify it for him. Once this is done, you can keep it or take it back to him. He will trade you an Elekid at level 20.
Lugia
To have a chance at snagging Lugia in the demo version, you must first snag the first 60. Then, go to the mountain with a Groundon statue and Lugia will fly there. You will them battle him. He is at level 50.
Lugia can be obtained at Nickledark Island. He comes out at level 50 after you defeat Cipher Boss Deathgold.
To purify Lugia, get full tempo in all nine chambers. Then, place Lugia in one of the sets and it will be purified. Having all the Shadow Pokemon is not a requirement.
You must reach the Cipher Boss. Before you fight him, he will call Lugia. To catch him easily, you must have a Master Ball. To complete the game easily you must get a Pokemon with high defense and attack. The Cipher Boss has the three legendary birds (Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos), a Rhydon, a Tauros, and a Executtor. All are Shadow Pokemon and have more than level 45. A good Pokemon to use is Umbreon, because he has a high defense depending of the level. When you catch Lugia, use it to fight against the Cipher Boss. He has a good resistance against Shadow Pokemon, and work better if you capture Salamanse.
There are multiple ways to get the Purification Chamber at full tempo for all nine sets (chambers). Try the following.
Format: Northwest - Northeast - Southwest - Southeast
Set 1: Surskit - Nuzleaf - Hoppip - Spheal
Set 2: Sableye - Baltay - Carvanha - Flaaffy
Set 3: Teddiursa - Pidgeotto - Meowth - Hitmonlee
Set 4: Ninetales - Mawile - Numel - Lunatone
Set 5: Zangoose - Kangaskhan - Togepi - Spearow
Set 6: Venomoth - Weepinbell - Swinub - Shroomish
Set 7: Magneton - Snorunt - Makuhita - Ledyba
Set 8: Parasect - Poochyena - Spinarak - Ralts
Set 9: Espeon - Hitmonchan - Duskull - Houndoom
Once all these Pokemon are in place, each tempo should be full light blue. Simply put Shadow Lugia in Set 1. It will give you a message about Shadow Lugia being different. Go to the Pokemon Lab (Starting Area) and step on the circle for the Purification Chamber. Shadow Lugia can now be purified from within the chamber. Note: Once Lugia is purified, it returns to its normal blue and white colors and regains the moves: Psycho Boost, Featherdance, Earthquake, and Hydro Pump.
You can catch Shadow Lugia with an Ultra Ball. Note: This may take awhile.
Robo-Kyogre
When you have fought the Robo-Groudon and the professor sells his Kyogre to the man in the gear shop at Gateon Port, go there and he will let you ride it. It is on the deck. Select it and chose "Ride on Robo-Kyogre". This is how to get to Nickledark Island.
Zubat
Put ten Poke Snacks at the Cave Spot. You will more likely than not find a Zubat.
Defeating Grand Master Greevil
Use a very powerful Rock or Ice type Pokemon that knows Icebeam or Rock Slide. Try a Tyranitar or Vaporeon that is at least level 60.
Keep a strong Ice type pokemon in your team (Walrein,Glalie, etc.). His Pokemon have no resistance to Ice moves. Try using Aurora Beam or Ice Beam. Moltres is a Flying type, so ice moves may be particularly effective. Articuno is also part Flying, as well as Zapdos. Rhydon is Rock and Ground type; you will get a super-effective hit, as well as Exeggutor and Tauros. Therefore, a strong Ice Pokemon is a wise choice. Also, leave an empty slot in your team when you catch Shadow Lugia. It is very strong, even for Shadow Pokemon, even for his Shadow End, Shadow Fire, Shadow Chill, and Shadow Bolt attacks. Use the Master Ball Professor Krane gave you from the secret basement.
Catching Greevil's Shadow Pokemon
The simplest way to capture all of Greevil's Shadow Pokemon is to first snag Electabuzz and Salamence from the Cipher Adams. Then, withdraw three Shadow Pokemon near level 45 or 50. Then, go to the elevator just before you fight with Greevil. Save here. Make sure you leave one space open in the Pokemon party. Next, go to battle with Greevil. Before you fight with him, he will send out XD001, or Shadow Lugia. Throw the Master Ball at it and catch it. Then when the battle begins, put Lugia in the first slot of the first two Pokemon and Electabuzz in the second slot. On the first turn, have them attack as normal. On the next turn, have Electabuzz use Shadow Half and decrease all the Pokemon on the field's HP in half. On the next move, have Lugia use a Hyper Potion on Electabuzz. Repeat this process and when Greevil's Shadow Pokemon get in the red, start throwing Ultra Balls at them. Note: The easiest Shadow Pokemon to capture is Tauros. Also, if Electabuzz or Lugia faints, have Salamence or any other Shadow Pokemon bring them back with a Revive.
Miror B.
Early in the game, you can find Miror B. The first time you encounter him, he will ask to join his group. If you say yes, he will think that you are lying. Say no, and he will get mad. Either way, you will battle him. He has a Shadow Nosepass. The second time you encounter him, he is on this island. When you talk to him, he will battle you again. This time he has a Shadow Dragonite, and also the Shadow Nosepass if you did not catch it earlier.
Note: He may not have the Nosepass, as he only carries Shadow Pokemon you have previously missed when battling other trainers.
Premier Ball
Go to a shop and buy about ten Pokeballs. The shopkeeper will say "Thank you! As a bonus have a Premier Ball!"
Fourth generation Pokemon
There are two new Pokemon in this game from the fourth generation. They are Munchlax and Bonsly.
Snag two Shadow Pokemon at once
Sometimes some trainers will have two Shadow Pokemon to snag. Be careful when this happens.
Later trainers (besides Grand Master Greevil) will have up to four Shadow Pokemon.
Snag six Shadow Pokemon at once
The final Boss has six Pokemon to be snagged: Rhydon (level 46), Zapdos (level 50), Tauros (level 46), Exeggutor (level 46), Articuno (level 50), and Moltres (level 50). Go to the Outskirts and buy twenty of every kind of Pokeball. You should also use your Shadow Pokemon against his and they will not do very much to each other.
In the final battle with Greevil, if one or more of the Shadow Pokemon faint, do not reset. Just win and fight him again. He will have the one(s) that you missed, and the rest will be normal. Also, if you already have Shadow Lugia, you will only battle Greevil.
Alternate Pokemon healing
If you find yourself somewhere where there are no Pokemon healing machines, find a PC. Put the Pokemon from your party onto the PC, then take them out again. They will all have full power.
Gateon Port items
When questioned by Acri at Gateon Port, she will give you four different items depending on your answers. To get an Amulet Coin, answer "Yes" to all her questions. To get a White Herb, answer "Yes" to two of her questions. To get a Mental Herb, answer "Yes" to one of her questions. To get a Quick Claw, answer "No" to all her questions.
Mt. Battle Master Pokemon
The Mt. Battle Master Battlus has the following good Pokemon.
Dusclops (level 70 to 76)
Slaking (level 70 to 76)
Latoios (level 70 to 76)
Latias (level 70 to 76
Salamence (level 70 to 76)
Metagross (level 70 to 76)
Shadow attacks
The Shadow Pokemon have some Shadow attacks. There are 18 Shadow attacks in all. They are Shadow Crush, Shadow Attack, Shadow Wave, Shadow Rave (same as Shadow Wave except stronger), Shadow Weather, Shadow Down, Shadow Half, Shadow Mist, Shadow Remove, Shadow Hold, Shadow Panic, Shadow Storm, Shadow Break, Shadow End, Shadow Chill, Shadow Bolt, Shadow Fire, and Shadow Blast.
Easy experience
Get to the point where you get the XP Sharing item. Equip the XP Sharing item with an active Pokemon (the one you fight with). Go to mt. Battle. When you fight there and win, your Pokemon that is out and battling will receive triple the amount of experience points. For example, if you get 300 experience points for both your Pokemon in play, this in return doubles to 600 experience points to whoever in your party holds the XP Sharing item. If a battling Pokemon holds the XP Sharing item, you will get 900 experience points for that Pokemon while your other Pokemon still receives 300 experience points. This helps level up your Pokemon much faster. |
