So if you like lugia and you want him so bad heres somethin' for you: If your stuck with this
1. don't know were to get the masterball to catch lugia with



Heres how to do the master ball thing:
When you beat the capher key lab go to galon port and go to the place you got the special scooter talk to the guy inside he'll
tell you to go to the spookey place to battle robo groudon battle him and go to galon port then talk to the old guy again then go to the first place you start at go see the dude with the red hair he'll take you to down to his special place inside you'll find a special box with you guessed it the master ball



hope i helped

For all those that fret about what your going to turn your eevee into, don't. XD is much more different then colloseum, after you talk to Vander at mount battle (When he's training the newbies) he'll tell you about the ciper labratory, once you get there, the Sexembrothers (Thats how its spelt in game) will come out, its quite a funny cut scene, but anyways after your done, fight the red one, then the blue, so on and so on, each one has a different attribute of pokemon.


The red brother has a Houndour Lvl 17
The blue brother has a Spheal Lvl 17
The brown brother has a Baltoy Lvl 17
The purple brother has a Gulpin lvl 17
The green brother has a Seedot lvl 17
The yellow brother has a Mareep lvl 17

As you can see,

Red is fire AND Dark, Flareon/Umbreon
Blue is Water, Vaporeon
Brown is Rock/Physic Baltoy, Espeon (Believe it or not)
And Yellow is Jolteon

Like I said, no need to fret over this at all, its very easy to catch them, get them down to yellow and inflict a status problem if possible, if not, no problem, bring at least 10 pokeballs, if after your third pokeball you still can't catch it, kill it, pick a different brother and come back after your done that one, they will keep challenging you and challenging you.

If your Pokemon are low on health and there is no healing machine around, DON'T PANIC!
Just find the nearest PC. Log on. Put all your party
Pokemon into the PC. Take them out again and they will have full power.
I have tested this tip. AND IT WORKS.

To use this tip you must be at the point where the old man shows you a picture of Bonsly and asks you to find him. To battle Bonsly you must get the Bonsly bingo card. You first must find him on the S.S. Libra. He will run away. Afterward you must put food on the oasis Pokespot. He will usually be the next Pokemon that shows up there. You MUST then SLOWLY push up on the control stick and you will get him. The screen will turn white or black and you will appear at the top of the TV station. The old man will thank you and give you a Bonsly bingo card. You can use this at the Battle Bingo place. Then you will be able to battle Bonsly.

OK, this is not a cheat but at the pokespots you know how Trapinch, Wooper, and Surskit are very rare to encounter? Ok you lay the food stuff at the pokespot (I strongly suggest doing one at a time).

Step 1. lay food at a pokespot.

Step 2. exit the pokespot and save the game in another area.

Step 3. run around for a couple of minutes then save.

Step 4. repeat step 3.

Step 5. once the poke radar goes crazy DO NOT SAVE!!!!!!!!! VERY IMPORTANT!

Step 6. go catch your pokemon.

what I am trying to say is that once you save the wild pokemon will not change. The pokemon, gender, nature, and level will stay the same.

If you manage to save before your poke thingie goes off you can reset your game.
The best time to get is at least a minute before it goes off.

Here are the pokemon and their locations and their encounter rate:

Oasis
Hoppip-common

phanpy-rare

surskit-very rare

--------------------------
Rock
sandshrew-common

gligar-rare

tranpinch-very rare

------------------------------
Cave
zubat-common

aron-rare

wooper-very rare

I really hope this helps those who want to get a specific pokemon!

When you go to Gateon Port and talk to the big man in the Parts Shop,he offers you a Fire,Water, or Thunder Stone,plus a Sun or a Moon Shard.Here's the scoop.
Vaporeon is of the Water type.It's pretty fast but it may prove harder to raise.

Jolteon is very fast and because it's Electric type,it only has one weakness-Ground.Plus,it can put foes into Paralyses.I actually never chose it though...

Flareon is of the Fire type,however,because it's Atk is higher than its SpAtk,its Fire attacks won't inflict a heavy amount of damage.

Espeonis fast and its SpAtk is high,plus its Spd.Its Psychic type.Unfortunately,it has low Def and HP,so...

Umbreon is Dark type.It learns more strategy-related moves like Double Team,Confuse Ray,and Mean Look.It sadly doesn't have a high selection of Dark type moves(Bite and Faint Attack,which are basically the same).It can learn Psychic,though,and it has devastatingly high Def and SpDef.

If you stick with Eevee,though,you'll find it fairly weak in all stats.Plus,you'd never havea type advantage over any foes.

Go to Mt. Battle. Then beat areas 1, 2, and 3. Area 4 is hard if your Pokemon are not raised properly. So repeat 1, 2, and 3 to train even more so that area 4 is easy. Keep doing this the higher you go up. This helps to train your Pokemon a lot. I only caught 10 Shadow Pokemon and my Umbreon is Lv. 60!

To get the Johto starters then you must beat Mt. Battle. You can only choose one. You can get the others by beating Mt. Battle again. They all have elemental versions of Hyper Beam.

its pretty simple it may hurt though.
throw the ball (great and ultra best)and when the shadow is being snaged hit down real fast on the control(grey) stick and keep it there. when it starts going on the ground, keep tapping A real fast.

for pokemon level 13-25 just throw the ball

L: 26-41. get the HP down to yellow then throw

L: 42+ get it down to red then throw

it wont work sometimes. so make it slightly weaker and try again. if its hopeless, just kill it. you'll have another chance with the Afro dude

This is how to get Pikachu, before you beat the game, you must trade all lengendary PKMN there are other then Dexoys to the game, but, u have to have fought already Lugia, caught it, and purified it before u caught Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. Otherwords u most lose unporposely to Grand Master Greevil. you can still catch Rhydon, Exaccutor and Touros (this guy must be from Kanto). It'll make no difference. NOTE: You still have to trade the Birds over even though they are catchable. Then when you beat Eugan at the PKMN Lab where you live, he will give you a LV.5 Pikachu and a Thunderstone. If this doesn't work e-mail me.

the center pkmn must attack(the pkmn connected to him)and be super affective
ex flying/fire(moltre)vs bug/figth (heracross)

fire==>bug=super affective
flying==>figth=super affective

super affective+super affective=perfect combo!

you must as much as possible to make many combo like that
(i know becaus i have purified lugia)
one thing!if you trade pkmn from gba,it will be easier to make combo!

In the interview with Acri in Gateon Port, you can get four different items, depending on how you answer the three questions she asks you. Depending on how many of them you answer "Yes" to, the item you recieve will change. The White Herb, Mental Herb, and Quick Claw can all be purchased at Mount Battle, making the Amulet Coin the best choice.

Amulet Coin Say "Yes" to every question.
White Herb Say "Yes" to 2 questions.
Mental Herb Say "Yes to 1 question.
Quick Claw Say "No" to every question.

In order to get the Johto legue starters you must go through all of Mt. Battle with the same pokemon in your party. If you don't do this you will have to start mount battle all over again. I suggest making a PC bax titled Mt. Battle. It makes it a lot easier.

Miror B. only appears when you miss a shadow pokemon and somehow has the shadow pokemon you miss. Like if you missed Loverina's delcatty you'll get it from Miror B.

Amulet Coin: Say "Yes" to every single question
Quick Claw: Say "No" to every single question
White Herb: Say "Yes" to 2 questions
Mental Herb: Say "Yes" to 1 question

I hope it works for you!

1.okay,when you fist start the game, you will go save the professor.when you are at the lab,you will fight the six people.talk to the green one and he will have a shado sedot.catch it and raise it into a shiftry mine knows Giga Drain,Shdow ball,bullet seed and secret power.Its level 71!

hope this helps!

Did you beat Grandmaster Greevil but didn't get all the shadow pokemon? Ran out of balls? Defeated one? Well, you're in luck! You can battle Greevil as many times as you like!

First, snag all 82 Shadow Pokemon. Next, the Miror. B radar will go haywire. Head to Gateon Port and Miror B. will be at the highest point of the lighthouse. Battle Miror B. and defeat all his Ludicolos. Then, he will use Shadow Dragonite.

This tip works on several Pokemon but not on some like Lugia, Moltres, Articuno, Zapdos or really big pokemon.

As soon as you choose the ball to snag with start rotating the control stick at 360 degree angles. On each sequence(throwball, pokemon goes in ball, ball moves) press a right on the spot. This shoul up your chances to snag by about 13%. This also works in Colloseum but snagging is alot easier in XD.

You will need a Plusle, a Minun, and an Alakazam with Skill Swap. First, send out Alakazam and Minun. Have Alakazam use Skill Swap on Minun, and have Minun use whatever. Now switch Minun for Plusle. Alakazam's minus and Plusle's plus will power each other up. Now, your Alakazam is even stronger then usual.

1. Evolve Eevee at level 15 because at level 16, all of its evolutions learn a certain attack (ie: water gun, ember, thundershock, confusion). You won't learn another attack of their type until level 52 (ie: thunder, hydro pump, fire blast, etc.)

2. Teddiursa is your first Shadow Pokémon. It has the trait Pick Up. This means after a few battles, it picks up items like Super Potions, Nuggets, Great Balls, Ultra Balls, Protein, etc. Keep it in your team because you can win a lot of free items and make a lot of money. When it's Purified, it learns an attack called Return which deals more damage depending on whether or not it likes you. It'll like you if you heal it often and battle with it a lot. It's much more powerful than Eevee through much of the beginning. A good battle strategy with them is for Eevee to use Tail Whip then Teddiursa to use Return to KO an opponent, but it won't be long until Teddiursa can KO them on its own with 1 hit. If you don't like to use Teddiursa, leave it in your party anyway! It picks up items even when it's not battling! (note: You can't just walk around and find items, it only happens after battles)

3. When you arrive in Agate, at the upper right is an eldery man with a Tailow. Every 10 minutes, he'll give you a random berry. These are very useful in the beginning.

4. When you arrive in Pyrite, check the soda machine to buy low cost curative items that heal a lot of HP. This is a good idea if you want to save money.

5. Before you enter Cipher's HQ you encounter the Hexagon Brothers. You can battle them as much as you'd like before entering the HQ. Even if you don't capture their Shadow Pokémon the first time, just leave them come back and they're ready to rematch you for it. Use them to reach level 20. (BATTLE THEM FROM RIGHT TO LEFT!!)

6. If your opponent uses an accuracy reducing attack, simply Call your Pokémon. It's accuracy goes up.

This allows you to catch a Pokemon easily if it's health is in the red. First choose a type of ball. (Perferably a Pokeball) As soon as the ball starts to appear in the hand of the snag machine, press and hold (In Order) A+B+(Control stick) Down. You have until the hand like thing appears in the air around nothing. Hold it. When the Hand Thing appears around the Pokemon with the ball, press and hold (Along with A+B+[Control stick] Down) X. You have until the Pokemon goes into the ball. When the ball falls and bounces, (Carefull not to let go of any of the buttons you're holding) in order, press L+R+Z. You have until the ball starts to shake. Keep holding them and you should catch the Pokemon. (This was done with Pokemon around level 30. I'm not sure if it will work above or below that, but you can try.) Good Luck!! ^u^

*Always try to bring at least 5-8 Great Balls,12-17 Ultra Balls,30+ Timer Balls*

Have your pokemon lower the shadow pokemon's HP to red.Then use attacks that lower your opponent's defence to boost up chances of catching by about 3%.Then lob about 2 or 3 great balls while tilting down on the control stick and rapidly pushing A.If it brakes out,try lowering the defence more or weaken the pokemon more.Then lob about 4 or 5 ultra balls and still tilt down on the control stick and push A.(It should catch after the 2nd ultra ball)If it still brakes out,lob your timer balls(while tilting down and hitting A again)until caught.

when you see Master Greevil at the Top of Citadark (or cinidark) he'll talk to you then he'll put up a glass wall. when you press the A button it will just say " its impossible to get through"
theres also a healing machine inside, so use it.
keep pressing A on the glass wall. and keep going in and out. if that dosn't work, go outside and you'll see an elevator that you cant use. hit A on that. and go back inside and repeat the wall thing. go back out side and the top guy at the pokemon shadow lab will come out of it. beat him, heal your pokemon (you'll need it!) and use that elevator. there will be a dude down there so battle him too. he's just a peon.
if you need to, heal your pokemon. go back and go up the indoor elevator where you battled the peon. then once your on the other side you'll have to battle the red guy.
if your saving up balls for greevels pokemon. just beat all of his pokemon without an effort to catch em'. they'll flee and go to the Afro dude later.
then go to the other ele. on the left side and there you'll meet greevle.
oh. and after you beat the red guy, the glass will go down.
hope this helps.

To purify Shadow Lugia without shadow pokemon you should fill all the purify chamber with pokemon and make all of the tempos all the way up (i reccommend you catch pokemon from the previous games and trade them) (leafgreen,firered,emerald,sapphire, or ruby) well then you have to put lugia in any of the sets and wait a while and he'll be purified if you have been training him while he was shadow he'll get his lvl up, mine grew to lvl 73 when i done this...... Hope i helped

This cheat requires either Pokemon XD or Pokemon Coluceum, a Game Boy Advance (SP or regular), two GameCube memory cards (both with enough space to hold the game's file, a Gamecube-Game Boy Advance Link Cable, and a Pokemon game for Game Boy Advance (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, LeafGreen, or FireRed). You also need to have defeated the game (more specifically defeat Grand Master Greevil,) once. First, get all your GBA games and transfer all your good and legendary Pokemon to XD. (I reccomend trading the Pokemon found at the Poke spots.) Then quit the game (shut off the GameCube) and go to the GameCube main screen (the same one you would see if you had no disk in the system). Go to memory cards and copy your data onto the other memory card. Now you may be thinking, "This is only two of each Pokemon!" But really, you're wrong. Now start XD and give your good Pokemon to one of your GBA games (either memory card). Then go back to the GC title screen, back to memory cards, and delete the data from the game you just traded from and re-copy it from the other memory card. Now you have infinity of any Pokemon! NOTE: You cannot trade Shadow Pokemon. If you use a Game Shark to interact with this cheat, your game may have problems. I am not responcible for these problems (nor is Nintendo) because the Game Shark is truely ILLIGAL. If you would read the back of any manual for a Nintendo game, it says that use of any equipment with your (enter system here) that is not authorized by Nintendo, your lifetime warrantee is RUINED. I just wanted to bring up how the GameShark IS ILLEGAL!!!

If you don't get all of Greevil's shadow pokemon you go back to the place go to where he was befor and you can get the shadow pokemon you killed.

you must have first à pokémon at lv 5 and then you must it train to lv 35 and then it wil evolve and how to get umbreon:you must have à eevee at lv 5 and train it to lv 35v and it must more defense en more sp.def and to get espeon:you must have à eevee at lv 5 and train it to lv 35 and it must more attack and more sp.attck and you must also have the time on am to have umbreon and you must also have the time at pm to get espeon

if u ever miss a shadow pokemon, it will go to a trainer called Miror B. he will apper radomly. however, when u first see him, he will be at the cave poke spot. after you battle him, you will get the miror rader which will say "Miror B. may have appeared!" when you can fight him. The first few times you fight him he will be at the Pyrite Colosseum in one of the battles. Later he will be at Reglam Colosseum. Try to snag every shadow pokemon possible because later he will have a shadow nosepass that you can catch anywhere else. Also, when u beat Greevil, he will appear in Gateon Port's light house no the top floor. even better, he will have a shadow dragonite!
If you miss a pokemon from greevil, you can fight him as much as you want. Also, if u kill shadow Lugia you will NEVER be able to catch him again so i extremly recomend using your master ball.

when ever you go to a poke spot and leave poke food its almost allthe time munchlax is eating your food,but thats sometimes good beacause when the trainer (A.K.A the old lady) gets there she gives you the same or even more poke food

Once u beat Chiper Key Lair you will be able to get a master ball from the Pokemon HQ lab place.I recomend you have a extra space with you at all times in Citdark Isle. Just before you fight the final boss ( Chiper grand master Greevil) he will summon project XD001 ( A.K.A. shadow lugia) NOW IS THE TIME TO USE YOUR MASTER BALL!!!!!!!!!!! it is almost nearly impossible to catch him with out it ( for you that did, good job i dont realy care) after this fight u wont be able to go to a PC before your fight with Greevil so its good to have a extra space for Shadow Lugia even though all of Greevil pokemon are shadow.

Grand Master Greevil's pokemon:
Shadow Exeggutor
Shadow Moltres
Shadow Articuno
Shadow Zapdos
Shadow Tauros
Shadow Rhydon

To do this look at the map and then decide where you want to level up and then face the trainers within the area and then go off of that area seclect another area and thn go back to the spot that you where at and you can face all the trainers over and over again. (Also works on Pokemon Colosseum)
