Im reading that most people say you have to purify all Pokemon then beat the game. THIS IS ONLY HALF TRUE!

To get ho-oh, you purify all Pokemon, then you save and quit. Go to battle mode, and select Mt. Battle. This is like Mt. Battle in story mode, only MUCH harder. You must use the Pokemon from story mode, too; no using Pokemon from sapphire/ruby/emerald or firered/leafgreen.
Beat all 100 trainers and you will get a message saying ho-oh has joined you. Check your PC in story mode, and he will be in there somewhere.
I havent tested this strategy yet, but I think the best way to beat mt. Battle is to double-battle with Espeon and Umbreon in your first slots, and Metagross and Tyranitar in your second slots.

Espeon should have Sunny Day, Psybeam, Psychic, and Morning Sun, holding a choice band, while Umbreon should have Faint Attack, confuse ray, toxic, and Moonlight.

Hit one enemy with Espeon's attacking moves, then the other with Umbreon's confuse ray. When the enemy Espeon is attacking has fainted, have espeon start attacking the confused enemy while umbreon confuses the one switching in. Rinse and repeat. If you encounter a dark type, have Umbreon confuse it then use toxic on it. Have umbreon use faint attack on it until it faints, while espeon only attacks the one thats not dark-type. If you encounter only dark-types, switch espeon with Metagross. If either espeon or umbreon gets low health, use Sunny Day then Morning Sun and/or Moonlight. If Umbreon faints, switch both for Metagross and Tyranitar. If your whole party faints, then don't worry as you get continues throughout the game.

I hope this helped, even a little bit. Have fun with your new Ho-oh!
Oh, and if you choose to do single battles, make sure the first Pokemon you select is Shuckles, as he is the best wall since Generation II.

All places are,
Outskirt Stand
Phenac City
Realgam Tower
Pyrite Town
Agate Village
The Under
Mt. Battle
Snagem Hideout
Shadow Pokemon Lab

It isnt unbeatable like my POKEMON SAPPHIRE team cus i just got the game 4 days ago, well here it is:

Heres my progress and stuff:

Play Time: 14:13
Snagged Pokemon: 27
Purified Pokemon: 26
PokeCoupons: 3100

Here is my team:

Feraligtr Level 77, Item: Mystic Water
Hydro Pump
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Surf(MY varied moves concept couldnt prevail here =[)

Misdreavus Level 71, Item: Spell Tag
Psychic
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Aerial Ace

Ampharos Level 81, Item: Focus Band
Thunderbolt
Brick Break
ThunderWave(to soon be replaced, i use it to snag easily)
Toxic

Entei Level 74, Item: Petaya Berry
Flamethrower
Dig(it cant learn earthquake)
Solarbeam
Secret Power

Sneasel Level 71, Item: Ganlon Berry
Shadowball
Ice Beam
Beat Up
Brick Break

Hariyama Level 73, Item: White Herb
Vital Throw
Earthquake
Endure
Reversal(works with endure, i learned it in battle four of the tower colosseum; that heracross brought pain to latias)

You all are probably wondering why i didnt put in suicune, and raikou. It was becuase they cant learn too many varied moves. i tried thinking of what to teach suicune, it had THREE water attacks. Raikou is practically TM retarded.

Well, there it is.
I consider it good, tell me what you think about my prgress by rating it(1-10)

I haven't lost a battle in the game or to my friends who have ruby and sapphire, but some out there could probably beat my Colosseum team.

To get a Ho oh in Pokemon Coloseum,you must do 2 things.

1.Get all shadow Pokemon and purify them.

2.I haven't played Coloseum in a few years,so I don't know the second thing.But I think it has something to do with going to the 100 match coloseum.

Ok most of you probably already noticed this a long time ago but for those of you who don't well here it is.

You can wake up a Pokemon during battle without using an item. When your Pokemon goes to sleep due to a move all you have to do is press call on the Pokemon who is sleeping and it will wake up. This always works and it saves you from using items. This also works for Pokemon XD Gale of darkness

To find the gear Silva stole dont waste your time looking around the town.

Just go to to the construction site and youll fnd it.

After you beat Nascour and Evice, it will show the credits, then in the place were you started.

The first one you get after defeating Dakim on Mt. Battle.
The second one you get after defeating Venus in the under.
The third you get after defeating the 100 trainer contest on Mt. Battle. (story mode)

Tyranitar is the highest Leveled Shadow Pokemon in the game, at Level 55. It will make your fight with Evice a lot easier if you can catch Tyranitar quickly, so it is recommended that you catch it with a Master Ball. If you can't, apply the usual techniques and hope you catch it.

The Mt. Battle master's Pokemon,
Pinsir
Claydol
Flygon
Crobat
Gyarados
Gligar
All Level 60.

After you beat Evice at the Phenac City Pokemon Center on the second floor allows you to trade with Ruby and Sapphire. You can also battle against them.

Since there are a lot of water-type Shadow Pokemon in the game, it would be wise to stock up on net balls. I caught Suicune in a net ball with it's health at 100%. Also, since there is a Heracross, it would be wise to stock up on them.

Happy stealing from bad dudes that want to take over the world but you won't let them because you love democracy and you are a good guy!

I beat the game with ease heres my team:

Espeon level 65
Ampharos level 67
Quagsire level 62
Sneasel level 60
Entei level 62
Stantler level 64

If you want to beat the game easily you have to be B.O.R.I.N.G spend ages battling the same trainers over and over also deposit 5 pokemon in the PC and only carry 1 around you at a time when your training. This way when you win a battle your pokemon would get double the exp you would normally get in a double battle.

Remember in the begining of the game at Phenac city when you go to the Mayor's office and the strange charictor comes out of the office? His name is Nascour.

In the end of the game the Constuction Lot turns into the Relgam Tower. When you beet the tower in the end you will se him again and you will have to battle countinuous trainers. When you beet the last won Nascour says "bravo try to beet me".

He has a Shadow Metagross. DO NOT use fire, it will kill it easily. But Nascour is still not the leader of Cipher. It turns out that Mayor Es Cade is the Head of Cipher. That is why Nascour was in the Mayor's office. And since the Relgam Tower was made Escade will not be there. When you battle him he looks a little different.

Guess what he has the strongest Shadow Pokemon in the game. Tyranitar. Purify it as fast as you can. When it says you beet the game you did and did not at the same time. There is also Story Mode Extras. You even get to go back to the Team Snagggem Hideout.

If you noticed that the towns were named after minerals than you are a Pokemon expert.

Hey, if you are in the shadow Pokemon lab looking for the guy that has the other starter Pokemon walk real slow at parts were you know you have to battle a trainer.

This is a REAL cheat- I caught Suicune, Raikou, Entei, Metagross and Tyranitar with this cheat- at full health. When the ball hits the ground for the third time, hold Down+B. It must be at the exact time when it hits the floor. I'm not sure if it'll work for other balls, but it'll work for Ultra balls.

to get entei easier just use two bubblebeams and one bite.

I used a level 35 Mantine And a level 30 Umbreon It worked for me but it might work for you too.

To get HO-OH, catch and purify all the shadow pokemon.

Hi. This is an awesome hint GUARANTEED to not mess up your game unless YOU make a mistake.

This is a hint to duplicate Pokemon and items (excluding key items; you can't trade them but they still duplicate). Already sounds cool, huh? Also, it doesn't take, oh, 25 days or so.

Maybe, if you're fast, not even a hour! This cheat also works on Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness so I don't have to submit it there. Here's what you'll need:

Nintendo Gamecube; possibly Revolution-not sure
1 Pokemon Colosseum or Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness game disk
1 Gameboy Advanced/Gameboy Advanced SP
1 Gameboy to Gamecube Link Cable
Two Memory Cards with enough data for a save file
Access to the trading center (in the game)
Items and Pokemon wished to be duplicated

-----------------

Okay. Now, set up your Gamecube and put the two memory cards in both slots. Load your game. Now, trade anything you want traded to your PC disk. Now, save.

Turn your gamecube off. Set it up, go to the screen with the options (by pressing and holding "A". Copy your PC data to the other memory card. Begin trading to your Gameboy.

When done, erase your PC data. Copy it again. Repeat process as wished. Now, get things easy! Hope I helped!

-Brian

This works with all the ball's in the game. Once you get the Master Ball, get a Ultra Ball and the trick to this is Unlimited Master Ball's. Make your first Pokemon throw the Master Ball at the shadow Pokemon, then make the second switch the poke`ball's around and then let the second Pokemon attack the non-shadow pokemon.

You can catch Makuhita with all his lives and throw a poke ball.tada!!! You caught him EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you're looking for the gear Silva stole, don't waste your time searching through the town.It is actually in the top right corner of the construction sight

Here is how you get unlimited balls.

On your first Pokemon click a any ball you have (even a master ball ! ) and use it on a shadow Pokemon then on your second Pokemon switch the ball you used to a diffrent slot with a diffrent ball and you will have used no balls at all!!

It's that easy.

When you start up your gamecube, before you turn it on, hold the Z button and turn it on for a new sound.

Water beats fire
Fire beats grass
Poison beats grass
Physic beats water
Electric beats water
Grass beats water
Dark beats ghost
Ghost beats physic

This will help for later on in the game

Espeon is a solid attacking Pokemon, with great Sp. Atk and Speed. It works well with Umbreon, who is more of a defensive Pokemon.
My recommended moveset:
Psychic
Shadow Ball
Morning Sun
Psybeam

Well then, punk! Want some info on receiving Jirachi on your Ruby or Sapphire Versions?

The only way I know of is to mail Nintendo, regarding subscription on receiving Jirachi with some other cool things, then wait for Nintendo to return a disk to load into your GameCube.

Load it into your GameCube, connect your GameBoy (with Ruby or Sapphire loaded) to the console with a GameBoy connector, and you will get to transfer Jirachi to your Game Pak for use!

I hope this works out for you...

You can trade mewtwo straight to colosseum from leaf green or fire red, then you can trade it to ruby, saphire, or emerald and cone it to get 2, or more.

Tyranitar is the highest Leveled Shadow Pokemon in the game, at Level 55. It will make your fight with Evice a lot easier if you can catch Tyranitar quickly, so it is recommended that you catch it with a Master Ball. If you can't, apply the usual techniques and hope you catch it.

In the battle against Nascour, you will come up against a Level 50 Shadow Metagross. Do the usual techinques (sleep, paralysis, lower HP) then throw some Ultra Balls at it, or you can use your Master Ball, but this means you won't get to use it on Tyranitar.

Ludicolo can be tough to fight at times, with several healing techniques and not many weaknesses. Try and pack a Poison or Bug type, if not, hit it with your strongest attack that aren't resisted by the Water and/or Grass types.

Umbreon is a superb defensive Pokemon, with great Defense and Sp. Def. He works well with Espeon, who is a great attacking Pokemon.
My recommended moveset:
Helping Hand
Confuse Ray/Toxic
Moonlight
Faint Attack

Espeon is a solid attacking Pokemon, with great Sp. Atk and Speed. It works well with Umbreon, who is more of a defensive Pokemon.
My recommended moveset:
Psychic
Shadow Ball
Morning Sun
Psybeam

You can catch Togetic at Level 20 against your clone. You battle him once you get messages from people complaining of your clone's behaviour and you battle the clone at Outskirt Stand. The rest of the team is mid- 70s in Levels, so watch out.

Entei: Battle Dakim when Mt. Battle was being taken over. At Level 40.
Suicune: Battle Venus at The Under. At Level 40.
Raikou: Battle Ein at the Shadow Pokemon Lab. At Level 40.
All of these can be fought in a rematch with their respective trainers at the underground colosseum at The Under. They will still be Level 40.

An easy way to catch some Shadow Pokemon is to stock up on Net Balls. Since 13 out of 48 shadow Pokemon are either Bug-type or Water-type, Net Balls will work easier and be less expensive. They are:
1.) Croconaw
2.) Quagsire
3.) Yanma
4.) Remoraid
5.) Mantine
6.) Qwilfish
7.) Dunsparce
8.) Ledian
9.) Suicune
10.) Ariados
11.) Vibrava
12.) Heracross
13.) Shuckle

Since there are a lot of water-type Shadow Pokemon in the game, it would be wise to stock up on net balls. I caught Suicune in a net ball with it's health at 100%. Also, since there is a Heracross, it would be wise to stock up on them.

Happy stealing from bad dudes that want to take over the world but you won't let them because you love democracy and you are a good guy!

Ciper Admin Venus - Has Shadow Suicune

Her Team
Decatty - Level 45

The key for the cage after you have defeted the minions who traped Dukings friend.

Make sure when you enter Pyrite Town that you have a lot or at least a good number of poke balls cause once you enter that town it there will be a lot of Pokemon to snag, especially in Duel Square, there you will be able to Snag a Misdreavus, Noctowl, Flaffy, Skiploom, Quagsire, and Slugma. Don't worry if you run out of Poke balls you can always go and get some more.

Where each of the legendary Dogs are located there should be a item case where you can find a Time Flute or a person who will give you a Time Flute around that area. Instead of trying to get the Legendary dogs hearts open with battling you can easily use the a Time Flute on each of them which will Call Celebi and Celebi will purify them right then and there.

Note: The Time Flute is a one time use Item so you need three of them. One for each Legendary Dog.

After you beat Evice at the Phenac City Pokemon Center on the second floor allows you to trade with Ruby and Sapphire. You can also battle against them.

Where is the cave that every 1 talks about and what do I ahve 2 do 2 get their

Im reading that most people say you have to purify all Pokemon then beat the game. THIS IS ONLY HALF TRUE!

To get ho-oh, you purify all Pokemon, then you save and quit. Go to battle mode, and select Mt. Battle. This is like Mt. Battle in story mode, only MUCH harder. You must use the Pokemon from story mode, too; no using Pokemon from sapphire/ruby/emerald or firered/leafgreen.
Beat all 100 trainers and you will get a message saying ho-oh has joined you. Check your PC in story mode, and he will be in there somewhere.
I havent tested this strategy yet, but I think the best way to beat mt. Battle is to double-battle with Espeon and Umbreon in your first slots, and Metagross and Tyranitar in your second slots.

Espeon should have Sunny Day, Psybeam, Psychic, and Morning Sun, holding a choice band, while Umbreon should have Faint Attack, confuse ray, toxic, and Moonlight.

Hit one enemy with Espeon's attacking moves, then the other with Umbreon's confuse ray. When the enemy Espeon is attacking has fainted, have espeon start attacking the confused enemy while umbreon confuses the one switching in. Rinse and repeat. If you encounter a dark type, have Umbreon confuse it then use toxic on it. Have umbreon use faint attack on it until it faints, while espeon only attacks the one thats not dark-type. If you encounter only dark-types, switch espeon with Metagross. If either espeon or umbreon gets low health, use Sunny Day then Morning Sun and/or Moonlight. If Umbreon faints, switch both for Metagross and Tyranitar. If your whole party faints, then don't worry as you get continues throughout the game.

I hope this helped, even a little bit. Have fun with your new Ho-oh!
Oh, and if you choose to do single battles, make sure the first Pokemon you select is Shuckles, as he is the best wall since Generation II.

If you train plusle to level 70 or above he is a really good Pokemon you can use exp. Share to get there faster

On the start screen, it usually shows the two main characters of the game.Well if you press start then go back, different pictures will appear.There are several different pictures from the two main characters to Groudon and Kyogre.

When you are in the chamber where you get your Pokemon turned back to
normal, you have to have a already normal Pokemon wit you so that you
can clean the air there heart (If you ain't got a already clean Pokemon
you can't clear the others heart gauge

In order to instantly made a Shadow Pokemon heart to open you need item
called the Time somthin. I know of at least three places where you can
get a Time Flute.

Water beats fire
Fire beats grass
Poison beats grass
Physic beats water
Electric beats water
Grass beats water
Dark beats ghost
Ghost beats physic

This will help for later on in the game

If I can remember correctly, this is how you get Togetic. I can't remember everything so if I leave something out or skip something I'm Sorry!


After you've cought the other 47 shadow Pokemon, you get an e-mail from the guy that is running around the water fountain in Phenac City. He accuses you of attacking him with an odd looking pokemon. Go talk to him. After you do you should get another e-mail from Pitt(the kid from the under). Go to the closest t.v. And watch the news report. After seeing yourself, go to one or two other towns and you should get yet another e-mail from Pitt. Once again, go watch the news report. If I remember correctly, It should show or say something about the imposter at Outskirt Stand. Go there. Battle him and take his shadow Togetic.

Don't capture metagross with a masterball .catch tyranitar instead with your master ball.

When he gets in the pokeball hold L+R plus rapidly press B. [Best used is ultra ball} thats how I caught him.
