Catch Celebi at his shrine in the town that has it. Celebi will not be shrouded in darkness and you will just have to walk up to him and press A.
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.
When you get the experience share after saving Phenac city from cipher go to the mayors house and he will reward you with the experience share to get easy experience put the experience share on the Pokemon you want to level up and put that Pokemon in battle and when you defeat a Pokemon the Pokemon with the experience share will gain 3 times the experience so if you get 100 exp the Pokemon with the exp share will gain 300 the best place to use the experiece share is at mount battle
Get all the Pokemon you can in the purify chamber and place Lugia in the middle and just wait go do some other missons and it will slowly purify him it not that hard it just take awile.
To purify shadow Lugia you have to get all full tempos in the purify chamber with your Pokemon.Or just get the amount of 36 Hoppips at the oasis poke spot.(he will be a lv.61)
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!

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 tha..
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 bac..
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

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 anythin..
Give the pokemon u want 2 lvl up a exp share hold item then put them in the daycare a run around any where u want and every step u take ur pokemon gets 1-3 exp.My ersuring is lvl 100 and i did not even beat the game yet
At the beginning of the battle, switch Salamence for Lugia and have
Electabuzz use Shadow Half. You need to do this first, otherwise Rhydon
might use Shadow Hold to lock your Pokemon. On the second turn, have
Lugia use a Lemonade or Moo-Moo Milk on Electabuzz to restore its HP.
It's extremely important that you keep Electabuzz alive. On the third
turn, either heal Lugia or throw a Ball at the Rhydon (catching it is
important due to its annoying moves), and have Electabuzz use Shadow Half
again. Next, have Lugia use a healing item on Electabuzz, unless it has
under 30 HP. On the next turn, Moltres should be at 25% HP and Exeggutor
at 50%. Have Lugia use a Moo-Moo Milk or Hyper Potion on itself, and
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.
Okay, this chart will display what type of Pokemon moves are super effective and not very effective on Pokemon types.
Bug - Super Effective against: Dark, Grass, Psychic. Not Very Effective against: Fighting, Fire, Flying, Ghost, Poison, Steel
Dark - Super Effective against: Ghost, Psychic. Not Very Effective against: Dark, Fighting, Steel.
Dragon - Super Effective against: Dragon. Not Very Effective against: Steel.
Electric - Super Effective against: Flying, Water. Not Very Effective against: Dragon, Electric, Grass. No Effect against: Ground.
Fighting - Super Effective against: Dark, Ice, Normal, Rock, Steel. Not Very Effective against: Bug, Flying, Poison, Psychic. No Effect against: Ghost.
Fire - Super Effective agai..
2 get Dragonite Snag every Shadow Pokemon
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.
Go to the 2nd floor of Pokemon HQ Lab and look in the room with the guy who was playing hide-n-seek with Nirvi and look to his left (your character's right) And far in the corner of the room you'll find the Target Super store logo on a bag!
Pleassssssssse! I would love to hear your comments! Here is my e-mail:
[email protected] Catch 36 Hoppips and put them in the purifying place. Apprently, you'll get max tempo from it.
There been a lot of junk about this such as fight fifty battle but you really have to get nine perfect tempos and put him in the 9th 1
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Rewite here with a very helpful cheat. You know how nobody tells you the exact way to purify Lugia? Well heres the right way. You know how to purify pkmn in the purifacation chamber? Fill all nine of the boxes in the purifacation chamber. And then put Lugia in. It'll say something wierd is happening to Lugia! Then you may purify Shadow Lugia. Remeber full tempo in all boxes. Hope I helped.
Hey Rewite here with not a stupid cheat but a good one. If you want to catch the rare Dragonite you have to catch all the shadow pkmn. Then the Mirror radar will say Mirror B is at gateon port with the last shadow pkmn. Go to gateon port go to the top of the light house and he will be there. The last pkmn in his party is of course a shadow Dragonite. Hope I helped.
After catching and purifying every shadow Pokemon,you must make sure all 9 chambers of purify chanbers have full tempo.Once you do this,put Lugia in any of the chambers.Then there will be a notice as soon as you walk out.
Lugia Moveset(after purification)
Psychoboost
EarthQuake
Hydro Pump
FeatherDance
Hope I helped again!=)
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!;)
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.
Ok I'm new here so I hope this helps:all you have to do is get the SUN SHARD from gaton port and keep battling with eevee and level up.[DON'T ERASE ANY OF EEVEE'S MOVE'S]and that's it
[I HOPE I HELPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
When you spot a shadow Pokemon throw a poke ball(great ball works better for me)
And hold A,B,Y,X,R,L and tap and hold up on the control pad all at the same time. It may not work but it work for me.
P.S-sometime it will not work.
In order to get all 3 Pokemon, you have to beat MT Battle without changing pokemon or leaving Mt. Battle . You have to do it 3 times to get all 3. They have special moves!
Cyndaquil:
Blast Burn
Chikorita:
Frenzy Plant
Totodile:
Hydro Cannon
To purify shadow Lugia get a full tempo in each chamber with shadow Lugia in one of them. Make sure you make shadow Lugia battle enough so you can purify him right away. Any way it will say something strange is happening with Lugia then it will be purified. Remender there has to be a full tempo in each chamber!
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 GB..
If you havent purified your Lugia don't waste time!it took me a month to purified my lugia.also shadow Lugia is cooler than normal lugia.P.S thank you greevil.
Getting a Master Ball:
What you need to do to get the Master Ball is go to the first floor of the Pokemon lab and see Professor Krane. When you talk to him he'll open a secret passage hidden in the floor which will lead to a room which has a chest in it. Inside the chest you'll find a Master Ball. If you haven't been to Citadark Isle at least once you won't find anything in the chest. The Master Ball is best saved and used when you encounter Lugia.
Getting a Premier Ball:
This ball is simpler to get, just go to a shop and buy 10 or more Pokeballs and the shopkeeper will say 'Thank you! As a bonus have a Premier Ball!'.
Jovi is infront of the hq lab .hoped I helped cheaters.
Just use your Masterball on Lugia since it is the only one that makes sense to use it on.
To instantly purify Lugia without doing things over and over all you must do is have the tempo in all nine chambers at the highest level. Then put Lugia in any one of them and it will be instantly purified. I found this at Serebii.net which is a website that is only about Pokemon. Go to it and check it out. No subscriptions needed. Hope I helped. ^_^
Some of you might think this is hard but for me it was easy.First
Catch zangoose or mawile (or both) and raise them to about 60.By then
Both should know false swipe.Use false swipe on his Pokemon until they have
One hp left.(make sure you have revive if they faint)If youre still having
Trouble catching them even if they have one hp then,have a elecrict type
(either electrbuzz or jolteon because their fast)that knows thunder wave.
Hope I helped! Happy gaming!!!!
By cool latios5
This hint is only for those snaged Lugia, (you may also look at this for future prefrencises)here the steps of how to purify Lugia.
Step 1: Purify many Shadow Pokemon.
Step 2: Get the tempo to max on all nine purfication chambers.
Step 3: Place Lugia in chamber nine, if you pull this off, you will see somthing that says, "somthing's different about Lugia, maybe...".
Step 4a: Look at Lugia's shadow bar, it's empty.
Step 4b: Purify Lugia.
Thats all of the steps on how to purify Lugia, also, Lugia will return to normal colors.
First leave several poke snacks in the oasis poke spot and eventully hoppips will appear. Once you have a 36 hoppips put them all in the purifying chamber it does not matter what order you put them in but put 4 in every circle. Put your shadow Lugia in set 5 and it will say something strange is happening to Lugia. Purify it and enjoy your bright colored lugia!
This works because flying is super effective against grass and hoppips are grass flying!
If you plan on taking on Orre Colosseum, this is something to help you.
Pok�mon that can set up combos are as follows:
Ninjask
Smeargle
Breloom
An explanation:
Ninjask - Uses Substitue, Swords Dance and then Baton Passes it to a Pok�mon to demolish the opposing team with Physical Attacks, also passes on Speed because of it's ability.
Smeargle - Similar to Ninjask. If it's faster, use Spore, Substitue and pass to something that can set up really easily.
Breloom - Very similar to Smeargle. Spores something, Substitues, then uses Leech Seed or Focus Punch.
Other Pok�mon that can set up combos are:
Kyogre
Groudon
Kyogre - Drizzle ability means you can hit ANYTHING with the move T..
When you defeat Mt.Battle without changing your team, you get to choose one of the Johto Starters(Chickorita, Cyndaquil and Totidile). The movepool you get for each is as follows:
Chickorita:
Tackle
Growl
Ancientpower
Frenzy Plant
Cyndaquil:
Tackle
Leer
Reversal
Blast Burn
Totidile:
Scratch
Leer
Crunch
Hydro Cannon
The best combo to use in the mega hard orre colesseum that nobody has ever talked about and I almost finished, is using the following combination
1.Use electrode and Golem
2.Electrode if right, sholud move first and use explosion.
3. The tale out a steel Pokemon like metagross
4. Golem shoul then be able to use explosion as well
5.The oppenets Pokemon will die and you will wim
Note: this only works for the follwing types you are going aganist: normal, water, grass,dark,physic,fire etc. Not ghost, rock, or steel.
Some one put a list of how to purify this difficult beastie.
He/She also said that filling all 9 tempo guages doent work.
Well...HE/SHE IS WRONG!!!!
It does work!! I did it. And it doesnt even take ages to do!
As long as they are all full, he will purify instantly. All you need to do then is perform the "Purification ceromony".
Well...if you're having problems grouping a perfect ring together, I have a solution!
First get as many NORMAL-type shadow Pokemon as you can.
Then have at least 2 or 3 "Best Circles".
Put as many NORMAL-types in as possible.
Go run arond in CITADARK ISLE for as much as you want.
Purify them then do it again.
Now take them and make a ring out of four.
Now scince NORMAL-types aren't S.E. On any type, they go perfectly with another NORMAL-type.
And because you're constantly making rings, it takes less and less time!
But there arent 36 NORMAL-type Pokemon you can catch...you still have to work a little.
And if you run out of NORMAL's for a ring, just do: Ft, N, N, N/Fy and that works too.
To heal your Pokemon using the pc put the Pokemon you want to heal in a box then take them back out and viola your Pokemon are completly heald. This also works with Pokemon colosseum.
There are 83 shadow poke'mon in Pokemon : XD Gale of Darkness.
Hope I helped!
In order to purify Shadow Lugia, you must have all 9 chambers at max tempo.
This is just a little walkthrough for battle Sims. Here is how the simulation should go in the battle sim "Zangoose VS. Cradilly"
1st Turn: Zangoose: Swords Dance
1st Turn: Cradily: Ingrain
2nd Turn: Zangoose: Swords Dance
2nd Turn: Cradily: Barrier
3rd Turn: Zangoose: Swords Dance
3rd Turn: Cradily: Barrier
4th Turn: Zangoose: Slash(Critical Hit, hopefully)
4th Turn: Cradily: Fainted
Generally, use Swords Dance 3 times, then start using Slash. Hopefully you score a Critical Hit. Cradilly is going to use Ingrain to stay in battle as long as possible, then it's going to get defensive with Barrier.
These have to be in a certain order for each
Set 1-Houndour,Speal,Ledyba,Baltoy
Set 2-Sandshrew,Vulpix,Aron,Hoppip
Set 3-Spinarak,Carvanha,Duskull,Lunatone
Set 4-Voltorb,Butterfree,Roselia,Phanpy
Set 5-Gligar,Arbox,Shroomish,Seel
Set 6-Pineco,Seedot,Shellder,Growlithe
Set 7-Zubat,Makuhita,Swinub,Mareep
Set 9-Primeape,Nosepass,Beedrill,Hypno
Sorry I forgot the Pokemon for set 8
To purify Shadow Lugia you must have full tempo at the new purfiy machine thing in all nine sets and place Lugia in one of them. It will say, "There is something strange going on with LUGIA. Mayby..." or something like that. Just press B after the message appears. Press B again when the choice comes up and after that happens just press A and the deshadowing goes on (I mostly say deshadow instead of purify). Once Lugia is purified it will turn white (as normal Lugias are) and
It's red eyes are gone. I swear this is all true.
Flpjfx out
Trade from emerald...do same for Pokemon like charizard and stuffs =P lol all credit to me =P
To get Lugia into your GBA Pokemon Emerald game you need the Gamecube connector and trade. Instead of cheating and using the AR or GS. If you have trouble geting the Regi's I have two words for you "Guide Book"
This more of a glitch but I started a new game and after you find Jovi when your talking to Lily,Jovi disappears! And when Lily tells Jovi to go inside, Jovi reappears and runs through the hero and Lily!
When you are at the main menu go to "vs mode",then choose the option on the left, not "group battle".
Then I think you choose anything goes, then choose "ULTIMATE" battle. When the Pokemon come up you should have very rare ones on your team such as DEOXYS. You can also use JIRACHI, MEW, MEWTWO etc.
If you don't like the Pokemon the computer has chose for you, just press B then press A to go back into it. You should have different pokemon
In xd each time you beat mt.battle you will be given ether cyndaquil,totodile or chikorita (you choose) there is only one of each and they have these moves (ULTIMATE ATTACKS)
---------------------
Cyndaquil
Tackle
Leer
Reversal
BLAST BURN
---------------------
Totodile
Scratch
Leer
Cr4nch
HYDRO CANNON
---------------------
Chikorita
Tackle
Growl
Ancient power
FRENSY PLANT
---------------------
When you snag all of greevil Pokemon and challange hin again he will have 6 different Pokemon they are magnectric, swellow, starmie, grandbull, altaria, and aerodactyl.
The 1-Time TM's like Earthquake, Overheat, Giga Drain, Solarbeam, and others that youe will give to your Pokemon, don't because if you want your team to have those same moves, copy your file to another Memory Card(B) and trade the Pokemon from Memory Card(B) that holds a good TM like Earthquake to your file. Repeat this and you'll have the best team with powerful moves ever!
Put Lugia in the purify chaimber set 1 and make it a best circle.Now make all other sets into best circles.(don't put any other shadow Pokemon into purification chaimber!!!!) Wait a while. Then you should hear a buzz and your controller should rumble indicating that it is ready. Go to Pokemon HQ lab and purify it.
P.S. I don't recommend purifing Lugia, but hey-it's your game!
P.S.S. I wouldn't go through the trouble. I don't think it's worth it.
Hi cheaters!Well I found a list with lots of Pokemon on it, with it's evolution.These will suprise you.
Pidgeotto-Pidgeot_Spearow-Fearow_Meowth-Persian_Growlithe-Arcanine_Weepineel-Victribeel_Seel-Dewgong_Shellder-Cloyster_Elekid-Electabuzz_Dragonair-Dragonite_Gligar-Crobat._Flaaffy-Ampharos_Wooper-Quagsire_Teddiursa-Ursaring_Remoraid-Mantine_Phanpy-Donphan_Larvitar-Pupitar-Tyranitar.
All Pokemon fans might know these.Good luck!
When your Pokemon evolves at their level, but you don't want them to evolve yet, press B when they start evolving and they won't evolve.
When you Battle Master, have four regular Pokemon, Shadow Salamence, and a space for Shadow Lugia in your party. Face Shadow Lugia, snag it, and let it join your party. When you face Master Greevil, you should have Salamence and a regular Pokemon in your party. Switch your regular Pokemon with Shadow Lugia, so you'll have Salamence and Lugia in your party. This is good, because Master Greevil's Shadow Pokemon can't hurt and defeat you a lot, but you should still carry recovery items. Use Salamence's Shadow Rush and Shadow Hold and use Lugia's Shadow Storm and Shadow Down. When Master Greevil's Pokemon is weakened, use Ultra Balls to catch it.
If you need help finding CD's, try looking in shelves and check the basement room on the hook levels. Also check in the CD shop and Do certain CD's for a side B on them if it says side A.
Lugia is completely dark,and even if you battle over 1000 times(That's crazy),It's heart will still be closed completly.What to do?
Fill up the Purification Chamber will a FULL tempo.
How? It's all about the Pokemon's type.
So lets put it this way, Flying beats Grass,Grass beats Water,then Water beats Rock,and leads to Rock beating Flying,going Clock wise.This is an example.
Now in a Pokemon term. First Pidgeotto,Second Hoppip,Third Vaporeon,lastly Tyranitar.They all go CLOCKWISE so remember that.It would be helpful to transfer Pokemon from you GBA Packs! Good Luck,Hope this makes it Understanding!
Pick any Pokemon like Ninjask (from Fire Red, Leaf Green, etc.) and put it in your party. Since it's ability is SPEED BOOST, make Ninjask hold Macho Brace(item). Even though Macho Brace gives Ninjask more power, it lowers it's Speed, but it's ability SPEED BOOST raise it's Speed every turn. With that combo, Ninjask should also have the move SWORD DANCE, which can raise it Attack sharply, so your Ninjask is great in Attack and Speed and you'll barely lose with this combo, so trust me.
Try having two Pokemon like Tyranitar with Rock slide and Vaporeon with Blizzard. Both of those moves can hit both of your opponents and can have an advantage for you. Try another Pokemon like Donphan with Earthquake and another Pokemon that can LEVITATE and not be hit by Donphan's Earthquake. Try different combinations that you'll be okay with and you'll probably have an 80-90% chance of not losing with the "COMBO" team.
Put one Pokemon in the daycare,then leave your gamecube on all night. In the morning go to the day care and your Pokemon will have grown about 40 to 50 levels depending on the level that it was on.
Hold the buttons: Start + B + X
When you go to Gorigan's lair in the Cipher Factory, see his computer screen and it's a Dusclops around it.
When you battle an Area Leader in each area and you defeat them, you can see that they usually say "Well done!", but they lose like other trainers and sits down on their knees, nodding at their ownselves.
In Phenac City, when the Cipher Attack starts and you go upstairs in the PokeMart, you'll see a Cashier sleeping, but when you move anywhere near him, you can see that his head is moving while snoozing.
If you are cheap of buying recovery items like potions, you can save some money. Just go to Pyrite Town's vending machine (in front of ONBS building). Super potions are $600 and recovers 50 HP, a drink in the machine that has water (forgot name) recover 50 HP but is only $200. Hyper Potions are $1200 and recovers 200 HP, a drink in the machine recovers 200 HP but costs $400. Other drink costs $300 and the other costs $350. They recover about 100 to 200 HP. Don't even bother finding cheap Poke Balls, Great Balls, Ultra Balls, or any other ball because they all are the same price everywhere and it's the same for Poke Snacks.
When battling Master Greevil (Mr.Verich) he has Moltres, Articuno, Zapdos. Stock up on ultra balls if you don't catch them the first time keep on battling him until you get them.
To get unlimited Master Balls, you must have Pokemon Emerald. Once you beat the game, go to the trade center and take Master Balls from your Emerald.
The Mt. Battle Master Battlus has the following good Pokemon:
Dusclops Lv. 70-76
Slaking Lv. 70-76
Latios Lv. 70-76
Latias Lv. 70-76
Salamence Lv. 70-76

Slaking Lv. 70-76
Latios Lv. 70-76
Latias Lv. 70-76

Somewhere between the beginning Citadark ILse and the final battle with Master Greevil, Ciphers and other trainers will have 2-4 Shadow Pokemon except Master Greevil, because he has 6 Shadow Pokemon.
There are twon new Pokemon that are from the fourth generation and they are Munchlax and Bonsly.
Go to a shop and buy about ten Pokeballs. The shopkeeper will say, "Thank you! As a bonus have a Premier Ball!"
In the Realgram tower, after you complete all the difficulties of the bingo cards including the Extra and Bonsly Card, the woman will tell you that is another level call the "1-Panel Bingo Card Game." This level is hard to complete, so you have to figure out a way to complete it like a path.
After you defeat Master Greevil, you will just end up at the beginning of your adventure, which you will start from your room. When you go to Gateon Port, Pyrite Town, Pokemon Shadow Lab(Where XD001 was made), Agate Village, Phenac City, and other places and you want to battle the same trainers who first had their pokemon levels 10-25, they will accept it. When you start the battle, you'll notice that their pokemon became stronger and they evolved and they are all on Lv. 50. This is way better to gain Experience Points and levels, so your party can become stronger.
When facing Master Greevil, he's the only Cipher Boss that has 6 Shadow Pokemon. Here's his line-up:
Rhydon-Lv.48
Moltres-Lv.50
Tauros-Lv.48
Exeguttor-Lv.50
Articuno-Lv.50
Zapdos-Lv.50
It's going to take alot of time to catch all 6 Pokemon. Well for real, two days ago, I was facing Master Greevil and I catched 4 out of 6 Pokemon and the defeated one were Articuno and Zapdos. But no worries, you can face Master Greevil again, but he has replaced those 4 catched Shadow Pokemon with non-shadow Pokemon and I forgot who they are, but they are tough like the his former Shadow Pokemon. This would be a better way to gain Experience Points and levels. Hope you enjoy it!!!
After you defeat Master Greevil and captured all the shadow Pokemon and purifly all of them, go to Gateon Port and the Miror Radar will just go on. Miror B. Will appears at the big lighthouse and you need to bring your best party, because he has 5 Ludicolos and a Shadow Dragonite. Here's Miror B.'s party:
Ludicolo-Lv.57-60
Ludicolo-Lv.57-60
Ludicolo-Lv.57-60
Ludicolo-Lv.57-60
Ludicolo-Lv.57-60
Dragonite-Lv.50 or 60
Note: Have a lot of Ultra Balls, Net Balls, Poke Balls, Timer Balls, Premier Balls, that Luxury Ball from the S.S. Libra, and Great Balls, because Dragonite is a tough one to catch. Just bring Dragonite's HP down to the red zone and use the balls to catch it and then you defeat him.

If you have just started out and you have a shadow Pokemon and don't want to battle just walk around a lot
Well this is what I did and it worked...
.All's you have to do is make sure you get all 9 sets with full tempo (flow does'nt matter) and put shadow LUGIA in set 5 and then it should say that there is something different about the LUGIA then go to the Pokemon HQ and then it will say there is a Pokemon that can open it's heart stand in the centre platform of the purify chamber and then voila he will be purified.This really works belive me.
P.S he changes his colour back after he gets purified so might be a big dissapointment for some people.
When you try to catch a shadow Pokemon make it sleep then throw a ball when the ball opens press and hold B then move the analog stick the same way the ball moves....
This is realy funny!! When Jovie (spelling) Bumps into Zook and he stomps his legg you will here a squash.And Zook stepped on a bug!! Lol
In Gavon Port go to the parts shop and the man at the counter will give you apart to robo kyorge after you ride kyorge you are at Citadark isle.
After you beat 2 morons (including all chifers followers),walk into the building go up a elevateor you and Greevle will be in a colosseum he will send out lugia (USE A MASTER BALL!!!!!!!!!)
At one point in the game, a trainer named danny gives you a shadow TOGEPI lvl. 25. After you've purified it you will be able to trade it with him for an ELEKID (lvl depends on the lvl of TOGEPI when traded) with spaciel attacks which are:
-Cross Chop
-Firepunch
-Icepuch
-Thunderpunch
Later on in the game you will be able to catch an Electrobuzz therefor you may want to keep togepi until he evolves(WARNING! This takes a very big ammount of cologne). If you should decide to trade togepi after it evolves into togetic for Elekid. It will not have the attacks above, instead it will have normal attacks. (REMEBER, Elekid will not be a shadow Pokemon when traded).
The Three Pokemon Dunking give you suck execpt for the last one. To make it esier for you, you can get some of the Pokemon or all of the Pokemon that Dunking wants off of your gameboy. The three Pokemon that dunking gives you are (they are all in order) Shuckel, Meditite, Lavitar.
It's worth getting them all because of the Lavitar which later evoles into Tyranitar.
Those are the Pokemon that Dunking give you.
1st, get the colgone case(Agate village-after 4th person in cave). Then buy some scents from the Pokemon market( I would suggest Excite Scent). Give them to your shadow pokemon. Their Shadow Bar will go down. Then, take it to the Relic Stone or the Purifying Chamber. It will be normal.
Put 10 Pokesnacks at Rock pokespot. Leave until the spot monitor alerts you.
Beware of when you get to the snagem whne you see Gonzap with a member of team snagem you will face the member first then Gonzap all he uses is hyper beam so tose of you who got Umbreon then goodluck cause without Umbreon I would of lost to Gonzap.
If you go to outskirt you can face Willie more then once
In Agate VIllage wen you go to the west side and talk to tis muscle guy and he will battle you if you want to battle again go into the cave and come out and talk to him again to battle.
