Pokemon Colosseum In-depth Boss Guide

Introduction to the Guide

Hi I’m AC Fanatic this is my first GameFAQ so I don’t expect it to ever get accepted, but I’m going to try at least.

I have written this guide mainly for the younger kiddies that need help with knowing what to do when you have to face and defeat a boss not how to capture their shadow pokemon, mainly to keep them from asking stupid questions on the Message Boards like Me.

This GameFAQ should provide the reader with enough information to be able to kick their way through the somewhat challenging Bosses, and help them restore Peace and Tranquility to the Region of Orre.

In-Depth Strategy on Bosses

Each boss’s Shadow Pokémon is marked – snag it before you knock it out!

Boss #1: Miror B.

Strategy: As the first boss Miror B. has a well put together team, except for the major flaw of having four of the same Pokemon! Ludicolo is an Water-Grass type Pokemon, but neither Fire or Electric type attacks will do much damage to them. So I would recommend that you should use the Flying attack Fly which will be a super effective hit against Miror B.’s Ludicolo’s. Also at the beginning of the battle you Should use the an attack that will put the Ludicolo’s to sleep such as Sleep Powder or Hypnosis on his Ludicolo’s to stop the possible threat of the Ludicolo’s using Rain Dance which will restore HP to the Ludicolo’s due to their ability Rain Dish which restores some HP to the Pokemon every turn. To take care of Sudowoodo take him out with Fighting, Water, Ground, or Grass type attacks.

Boss #2: Dakim

Strategy: Dakim has a bright idea that he can use protect on one of his Pokemon then use Earthquake with his other Pokemon, which isn’t a bad idea at all, also Dakim will always start out with Metang and Golem/Camerupt. Firstly I highly recommend the use of a Water Pokemon since the majority of his Pokemon are weak against Water attacks, and you may want to use a flying type again since Earthquake can’t hit flying type Pokemon. On the very first turn you may want to use only status affecting attacks so you can find out who is using Protect and Earthquake. On the second turn whoever used Protect last turn will use Earthquake this turn and vice versa for the other Pokemon, so attack with both of your Pokemon the one that used protect last turn and do the same thing till all of his Pokemon are defeated.

Boss #3: Venus

Strategy: Venus is one of the harder trainers to defeat due to her Steelix. Venus has a wide variety of Pokemon so there is no real strategy to defeating her easily. Three types of Pokemon that I would recommend would be Psychic, Fire, and Electric. You would want a Psychic type Pokemon to KO Vileplume easily. Then try to damage Delcatty badly before Delcatty can use attract which will make one of your Pokemon unable to use its moves most of the time against both of Venus’s Pokemon. The Fire type Pokemon would be used for Steelix so you may quickly knock it out of the ring. And the Electric type would be for Suicune mainly but possibly for Banette also, use any type of electric attack for Suicune, and in a few turns Suicune should be down on the ground.

Boss #4: Ein

Strategy: Ein mainly uses Water and Electric type Pokemon, so it’s not very hard picking the types of Pokemon that you need, except for the fact that the types you need are fairly rare in Orre. You obviously need Electric and Ground type Pokemon, but the only 2 Electric type you have come across so far are Flaaffy (Hopefully it is now an Ampharos) and Plusle which is for the most part extremely useless, and as for the Ground type the only one is Piloswine and you may have missed catching it so forget the ground type unless you want to start purifying it until it learns dig which is really only useful against Raikou. There isn’t really much I can do to help you here except provide you with tips and battle information, so you just need to go with your instincts and hope for the best.

Boss #5: Miror B. (rematch)

Strategy: Miror B. has decided since your last battle with him ended in your favor to add a few new friends to his/her team, which include Golduck, Loudred, and Armaldo. Loudred is most likely going to be the biggest threat to you because of his attack Shadow Ball, you may want to target your attacks on him. As for Golduck and Armaldo take them out with Electric and Fire type attacks. Use the same strategy as before for the rest of his Pokemon. You should then have a quick and easy win.

Boss #6: Dakim (rematch)

Strategy: Dakim was the hardest for me to defeat out of the 4 in a row boss rematches, because all of his Pokemon are different except for Entei. About half of Dakim’s Pokemon are of the Ground type so I recommend the use of water Pokemon and Pokemon of the Flying type also, because he still uses the Earth Quake/Protect technique again. Also be on alert he also uses the Sunny Day Solarbeam technique, so you may want to have one of your water Pokemon know Rain Dance so you can stop the threat of 5 Solarbeams in a row.

Boss #7: Venus (rematch)

Strategy: Venus has a whole new team like Dakim except for Suicune, so she is also a bit hard. She has only Pokemon of only one type so that makes it even more difficult. I would strongly advise the use of Electric, Psychic, and Fire (after the water Pokemon are taken out) Pokemon to get the job done. Milotic is probably the Hardest to take down because of its Ice attacks that can be very threatening.

Boss #8: Ein (rematch)

Strategy: Finally the last out of the Realgam Tower Rematches Ein. Ein right from the start will try to poison both of your Pokemon so you may want to use attacks that make you impossible to hit for the first turn such as Fly, Dig, and Dive, but just in case you may want to carry some Full Heals or Lum and Pecha Berries. First of all you may want to use many Electric type attacks because three of his pokemon are weak against Electric type attacks they are, Starmie, Pelipper, and Crobat. And as for Raikou and Manectric use a solid hitting Ground attack and you should knock’em out fast. For Rhydon just get him with a water attack and you should have a fun and successful battle.

Boss #9: Gonzap

Strategy: Gonzap is now your new Arch Enemy, he wields the power of 1 Hit Wonder (Pokemon Stadium Pun 🙂 Attacks, so you will want to afflict his Pokemon immediately with Status afflicting attacks, such as Hypnosis, Poison Powder, and Thunder Wave to lessen the chance of being hit with one of Gonzap’s devastating attacks such as Crabhammer and Earthquake. After that you should hit his team with mainly Fire type attacks to steal the win, but its not the last time you will meet up with Gonzap…

Boss #10: Nascour

Strategy: Let me be the first to congratulate you on making it this far, but also let me be the first to tell you that the next battle isn’t a walk in the park. The majority of Nascour’s Pokemon are weak to dark type attacks so make sure you have some Pokemon with dark type attacks, you may also want to hit his Metagross with ground type attacks to take it out easily. For the rest of his Pokemon, just hit Walrein with a couple of fighting type attacks, then just hit Blaziken with a couple of water type attacks and the victory should be yours. Congratulations you have beaten Realgam tower, but wait who could that be?

Boss #11: Evice

Strategy: Yes, The person who has been behind the evil plot to take over the world is the Ever Evil Evice (aka The Mayor). Evice has a wide variety of Pokemon so it will not be an easy task to defeat Evice. To defeat Tyranitar take him down with a few water type attacks, but to make the battle easier just throw the Master Ball that you got earlier in the game. For the rest of his Pokemon, take down Salamence with ice attacks, Machamp will go down easily with one good Psychic attack, Scizor will go down with a fire type attack, Slaking will go down with some fighting type attacks, and finally hit Slowking with a nice Electric type attack and if you can pull this off, CONGRATULATIONS THE REALGAM TOWER ADVENTURE IS OVER! But, the Boss Battles still rage on…

Boss #12: Gonzap (rematch)

Strategy: Your Arch Enemy is back for a second beating. This time he has almost all new Pokemon and all of them are fairly high leveled. Gonzap’s Pokemon almost immediately use Hyper Beam as soon as they can so be prepared for a few harsh blows, but his Pokemon must then rest for a turn to regain some lost energy, so now is your turn to hit them with some powerful attacks. To defeat Crawdaunt hit him with a Thunder or Thunderbolt attack to deal some serious damage, As for Armaldo take him out with surf, Machamp is another easy KO take Machamp down with a couple of Psychic attacks, take Breloom down with a fire attack, the last and certainly least Granbull will go down with a good fighting attack such as Brick Break.

Boss #13: Angol

Strategy: Who the heck are you? Yeah Angol is a little strange looking if you ask me. But now to get on to the strategy. Angol probably has the strongest team in the game other than yourself but he isn’t all that hard to defeat. The only real hard thing to defeat is Shedinja, because of its ability wonder guard it can only be hit by super effective hits, so the only type of attacks that can touch are Flying, Fire, Ghost, Dark, and Rock, so make sure you bring at least one Pokemon with one of those type of attacks and take down the rest with your own skills by just pelting them with strong attacks, but make sure your Pokemon are about the same levels as Angol’s or you may have some trouble defeating him.

Boss #14: Shady Guy

Strategy: Good Job you have made it to the final battle, Vs. Yourself? Yes Shady Guy has taken the form of YOU! He has quite the easy team to defeat as long as your Pokemon are Lv. 65 and above, if they aren’t then go do some training. Togetic can be taken down with almost any attack, Armaldo can be taken down with a high leveled Surf attack, Milotic should be taken down with some electric attacks the same goes for Gyarados, take down Manectric with a good rock type attack, as for Houndoom get rid of him with a good Water type attack and take the Victory for the last time!

Good Job!

Which Bosses Have Which Shadow Pokémon

Techniques on Capturing Shadow Pokémon

There are three major steps in Snagging Pokemon they are as follows:

1. Weaken the Pokemon – When a Pokemon HP meter begins to get in the yellow you may want to read step 2.
2. Inflict the Pokemon with a Status Condition – Use attacks such as Hypnosis, Poison Powder, and Thunder Wave.
3. Throw a Snag Ball – When you think you can catch the Pokemon, use the Poke, Great, Ultra, Premier, Net, Nest, Timer, or the almighty never failing Master Ball.
