Gameplay

Shadow Pokemon

The main focus of the game, like it is predecessor is to capture Shadow Pokemon and purify them. In this game there are 83 different Shadow Pokemon to capture. Each Shadow Pokemon has a set of Shadow moves that it knows to give it more variety in combat, which is a significant change from Pokemon Colosseum. If at some point in the game the player can not catch a Shadow Pokemon there is a second chance available, at random points throughout the game an antagonist Miror. B will appear and have a Shadow Pokemon that the player was not able to catch. Once the player has obtained 82 of the Shadow Pokemon Miror. B will appear one final time with the final obtainable Shadow Pokemon in the game.

Purifying Pokemon

Once a Shadow Pokemon is captured the player then has to purify it. There are two different ways of purifying Pokemon: one way is to use the Purification Chamber , and the other is to carry the Pokemon in the party just like in Pokemon Colosseum. The Purification Chamber allows the player to place anywhere from 2 to 6 Pokemon in a circle and a Shadow Pokemon is placed in the center of this circle. Depending on the Pokemon that are placed in the circle the tempo will increase, which increases the speed that the Shadow Pokemon is purified. After that the Shadow Pokemon will be purified as the player walks around, and they will be notified when a Shadow Pokemon is ready to be purified. When the player carries the Pokemon in the party and battles with them, they will gain experience when they are purified. If the Purification Chamber is used then the Pokemon will not gain any experience, but with the Purification Chamber multiple Pokemon can be purified at the same time.

Mt. Battle

The Mt. Battle area is an area that is accessible early on in the game and is a 100 trainer challenge. The 100 battles are split into 10 battles in 10 different zones with the trainers in each zone being strong than the ones in the zone before. The tenth trainer in each zone is called the Area Leader, and after each Area Leader is defeated the player gets a specific number of pokecoupons. When the player defeats an Area Leader the first time the player gets a special item. At the front desk Mt. Battle the player can exchange their pokecoupons for certain prizes.

Poke Spots

One other new aspect to the game is that there are 3 different PokeSpots throughout the game. At these special locations the player can lay Poke snacks in the area to cause wild Pokemon to appear. At these 3 locations 9 different wild Pokemon can be captured and they can be traded to a protagonist named Duking for rare Pokemon. One challenge of the Poke Spots though is that sometimes an old lady's Munchlax will appear and eat the player's Poke Snacks, which make it harder for the player to capture wild Pokemon. The old lady will give you the same amount of Poke Snacks that the Munchlax ate back.
