Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness Hints

Good Leveling up Strategy

If you are struggling and your Pokemon won't do much damage then you need to train. A real good way to train is battling at Mt. Battle. They give decent experience depending on your levels. If you want to gain more experience then go battle against people about 4-6 lv. Higher than ou and keep battling them. Don't be lazy and train it will help you in the long run.

How to purify shadow Lugia!!

How to purify shadow lugia

The only way to purify shadow Lugia is using the purify chamber, now what you have to do is have all 9 sets have max tempo, than put shadow Lugia any set you want, than it will say, "shadow Lugia is different,maybe..." or something like that, anyway, after that, shadow Lugia's heart gauge will be empty, so you exit the purify chamber, the go to Pokemon HQ lab(unless your already in there) and go to the purify chamber and than go ahead and purify shadow Lugia.
After purifying Lugia, it's moves are going to be:
Psycho boost
Feather dance
Earthquake
Hydro pump

Hope I helped!

After Cipher

Many People are wondering what to do after they catch Shadow Lugia and defeat the leader of Cipher, now what can they do?

There are many things that you can do:

1) Battle Eagun, once you defeat Eagun in a battle you will be able to go to the Orre Colosseum and take the challenges there.

2) Go back and try to capture any shadow Pokemon that you have missed. You can battle their trainers again or you can find Miror B. In Colosseum battles and catch Shadow Pokemon that you missed that way. Once you have all 82 you can go to the lighthouse in Gateon City and find Miror B. At the top of it, he will have Shadow Pokemon #83 a Shadow Dragonite.

3) After clearing the first round in the Orre Colosseum then head to Agate Village where there is reports that one of Dr. Kaminko's inventions go out of control and Pokemon's voices are missing. Receive the Voice case and go around finding the Pokemon that don't have their voices. Talk to 5 Pokemon in Agate before you head to get the Voice Case from Dr. Kaminko. The problem will be in Pyrite Town where a Shroomish is affected, and four Pokemon are also infected in Gateon City and Phenac City. Once you visit all 12 Pokemon go to the Wobbuffet in Agate Village and restore the voices, you will receive a lucky egg for your efforts.

4) Take up challenges in Orre Colosseum and also in other Colosseums.

Master Greevil Team

Unlike the Pokemon Colosseum, the final boss battle for XD Gale of Darkness is a lot more challenging because Greevil has all Shadow Pokemon in his party. Its best suggested that you use the Master Ball on Shadow Lugia before you battle him.

He will have a Shadow:

Moltres
Zapdos
Articuno
Exeggutor
Rhydon
Tauros

To be able to capture these Pokemon in one go you need to have a pretty even team that will be able to stand strong against the Shadow Pokemon so that you can catch them. It will also be helpful if you have moves that cause status conditions like Paralysis, Sleep, or Frozen.

Note: On a side not don't be scared if you accidentally defeat any of his shadow Pokemon your first time around, you will be able to go back to him later on to capture the Shadow Pokemon that you missed from your first battle.

Unlimited Masterballs

You will need:

1 Link cable
1 Pokemon Emerald (Elite Four beaten)
1 XD: Gale of Darkness (whenever you are able to trade)
1 Gameboy Advance, DS, or Gameboy Player

1.first you need a Masterball in EITHER XD or Emerald, if in XD, trade over to Emerald

2.Use the Copy/clone items cheat on the cheat menu fot the game(to much to type) how many Masterballs you copy is doubled(1 becomes 2, 2 becomes 4 etc...)

3.Trade them back to XD, this is especially good for catching Greevil's Legendary birds and all Shadow Pokemon 100% without fail

4. Repeat process if needed

Hope this helps

Orre Colosseum party

You know that you have to beat the game to unlock Orre colosseum. Well here is a good party that helped me A LOT. I am a fan of Umbreon so dont blame me. Maybe you could switch it with ur starter but i never tried that.

Umbreon (duh): Faint Attact, Shadow Ball, Protect, nd ur choice what u think is best.

Gardevoir trust me on this. you might want to evolve your purified Ralts): Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Nightmare, Some attack move (This is incase they cant sleep so you have something to fight with).

Rhydon: Fire Blast, Thunder, Earthquake and either protect or some other move.

Snorlax: Fissure (i actually got fissure for snorlax), curse, and some other moves that you like.

Dewgong: Sheer Cold, One of the beam moves, Protect, and anything you want.

Tyranitar(evolve your Larvitar): Thunder, Fire Blast, Earthquake and anything you want or like

I know you might think this is crappy but this got me through considering my umbreon is lvl.91 and the rest are in lvl 70's or 60's or 80's. I actually managed to beat the first guy but i died against the second one because of the others low levels. When you use earthquake Umbreons protect keeps it from losing HP while the opponents pokemon take a hit.I havent played XD for a while now because the disc broke but I still remember most of the moves. I said you choose a few moves so you atleast have freedom to throw in a move that will pwn them that I may have not mentioned. Keep the flute thing with you and status healers because you can't Call to your pokemon. Hope this helps. Plz tell me if i messed up.

How to Get a Good Team

When you get to pick your Eevee evolution, pick Flareon, Jolteon, or Vaporeon. After you get to the Cipher Lab, get Shadow Seedot,Mareep, Houndour, and Teddiursa (from earlier). After you purify Seedot and level it up, it will evolve into Nuzleaf. Use the Leaf Stone you found after beating Spy Naps and rescuing Prof. Krane. The Nuzleaf will be a Shiftry. After you purify Mareep and level it up twice, it evolves it Flaafy. Houndour is also a good fire Pokemon, so you can destroy enemy grass types. If you raise Teddiursa and treat it good (and maybe give it a Soothe Bell), it's Return attack is very powerful. Raise them all and they will make a formidable team.

purify lugia

To purify Lugia you have to fill the purify chamber witha full tempo for all sets. Then you have to put Lugia in there and it will then say something strange is happening to lugia. Do not take Lugia out though keep Lugia in the purify chamber and go to the lab go into the purify chamber and then you have purified lugia.

Purification

If you want to purify more Pokemon I suggest you go to MT. Battle and start from area one. This way you go through a lot of battles causing the pokemon's heart to open more. When the heart ready to open finish the area and go to the PC. Place the Pokemon in the purification chamber and then you can either take and battle with more shadow Pokemon or go to the lab and purify the pokemon. Note: If you continue to battle I suggest you fill all nine sets. Note2: If I'm correct the strongest Pokemon you should have is purified so I suggest you keep that with you.

Togapi

To get togapi you have to go to The Outskirt stand and talk to a guy by the door. It won't come normally though you'll have to purify it.

Evolutions

For vulpix use a firestone. For chansey you have to give it friendship by training it. For weepinbell raise it to lv 21. Spheal evolves twice. Once at level 32 and again at level 44. Sandshew evolves at level 22

You know how sometimes you kill shadow Pokemon,then get really mad and have to wait for Miror B. To catch it again? Well,all you have to do is have Shroomish and evolve it into a breloom,or have a mawile or zangoose.Any of these Pokemon will work,but they need to have the move FALSE SWIPE.You also need to get the SUN SHARD from the guy in Gateon port and evolve it into and Espeon.That espeon must keep it's TAIL WHIP move,which lowers a pokemon's defense.Use both FALSE SWIPE and TAIL WHIP on the shadow Pokemon and if you continue to use this combo,it's health will be at 1 hp.Then just snag it with a poke ball.

hidden master ball

Go to the Pokemon lab go to the room with the snag machine case you can,t do this if your not at the part when you have to go to cidark isle. When you walk in pro.krane will be there she will sho you a secret room and thers a Pokemon case click onit and you have a master ball

Mt. Battle Truth

In Mt. Batlle you don't have to beat it straight through or with the same team.

Also, there's only one way to purify Lugia, get max tempo in all chambers and put Lugia in any chamber,then TADAH!!!

It doesn't matter if there's other shdow Pokemon being purfied.

Sorta Hepful Catching Tip

Ok.You find a shadow or wild pokemon.You damage it down pretty good.Try to give it a status condition or lower it's defence(th higher defence,the harder to catch.)Then you throw a ball.(this is my trusted catching call.)You think it's not going to catch it.Try this.Push+Hold A+B,then when the ball opens,Hold L+R,then it might make you feel better on catching things.




Hope I helped you all out there again!;)

The REAL way to ge Johto Starters

You must defeat Mt. Battle with the same team 2 times 1 to 100 with starting new Mt. Battle without changing teams either times.Move sets:Totodile:Scratch,Leer,Crunch,Hydro Cannon.Cyndaquil:Tackle,Growl,Reversal,Blast Burn.:Chikorita:Tackle,Growl,Ancientpower,Frenzy Plant.




I hope I've helped you out P.S:If not,don't pile on me with complaints.

Chikorita, Totodile & Cyndaquil

In order to get all 3 Pokemon, you have to beat MT Battle without changing pokemon. You have to do it 3 times to get all 3. They have special moves!

Cyndaquil:
Blast Burn

Chikorita:
Frenzy Plant

Totodile:
Hydro Cannon

Purifying Shadow Lugia

Hey, I know many of you do not want to purify Shadow Lugia because:

A. It looks cooler
B. Shadow moves are fun! (lol)

But for those of you who do...

You might be able to do the thing having the tempo at MAX on every set with only Lugia in and in set 9, but I'm not sure.. Anyway, my way's a little complicated, but nevertheless use this method or the other, if it works. As I was saying, you'll need:

A Gamecube (duh)
Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness with completed game file (duh)
Pokemon Colosseum with completed game file
Gameboy Advanced
Any GBA Pokemon game
A GC-GBA Link Cable

1. Properly hook-up GC-GBA cable.
2. Insert Pokemon Colosseum in the Gamecube, while inserting your GBA Pokemon game into your GBA.
3. Pick any two Pokemon, one for Colosseum, the other for your GBA ((NOTICE: Magikarp may be the best choice for all of these trades)).
4. ((NOTICE: THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU HAVE A TIME FLUTE!)) Whichever Colosseum Pokemon you trade, use the "give" command and give it a Time Flute.
5. Go to the trade center (on the gc) and any top floor of a Pokemon center (gba).
6. Complete the trade.
7. Turn off the gc, and put in XD. 8. Trade the Pokemon with the Time Flute with any Pokemon in xd except Lugia (and any shadow Pokemon, for that matter, for obvious reasons)
9. Go to the Relic Stone in XD. Use the time flute on Lugia.
10. Voila! Purified! NOTE: You may want to save first, as many like Shadow Lugia better.
