Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness FAQs

    Sandals

    Agate Village

    This is something I found to be pretty hilarious. Remember that crazy doctor? If you look at the monitor in his house eventually you will see "Health-Reducing Sandals". Chobin goes blah, blah, blah for a minute. When you go to Agate village, in the Poke'mon center there is an old man. He is actually wearing the Doctor's Sandals!! He complains about them a lot.

    The Legendary Pokemon

    Citadark Island,The Rock Poke Spot and The Cave Poke Spot.

    When you go to the Rock Poke Spot you can get a Trapinch. On the Trapinch's second evolution It will be Flygon The Legendary Pokemon. When you go to The Cave Poke Spot you can get an Aron. On the Aron's second evolution it will be an Aggron. At Citadark Island when you battle Grand Master Greevil he has SEVEN Pokemon - all of them are Shadow Pokemon but only four of them are Legendary Pokemon, they are: Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos and of course Lugia.

    Easier Pokemon Catch

    An easier way to catch pokemon is to do it when their health bar is in the yellow not the red, because they are enraged when they are in red so they are harder to catch.

    How To Purify The Shadow Lugia

    First you need to max out the purification chamber tempo by putting in pokemon (not shadow) in order of their strength in all nine chambers. Then place the Shadow Lugia in any chamber and it will be purified instantly with the attacks Earthquake, Featherdance, Hydro Pump, and Psycho Boost.

    Unlimited Master Balls

    After you get the master ball from the Pokemon lab, it can be used over and over again, as much as you like. How? All you need is the master ball, another type of pokeball, and a shadow pokemon to use it on. Just find a shadow pokemon to catch, use the first turn, and then, one your other pokemon's turn, go to items and press Y or X to switch the master ball with the other pokeball. You'll still have the master ball and you can catch the pokemon without fail. Note: Only works if you have two pokemon out, not to be used on wild pokemon!

    Easy Catch or Snag

    When the pokeball opens up hold A ,B, and Left on the control stick at the same time. This will work 70 percent of the time.
