Appendix:Pokémon Colosseum walkthrough/Section 3

Pyrite Town

Upon entry you'll see a scene with a gullible cop and a thief. The gullible cop believes that the thief didn't do or take anything so he leaves him be. The thief snickers to himself.

Now get ready for a heck of a lot of Trainers. Use your usual strategies for battling normal Pokémon and Shadow Pokémon. Remember to use Makuhita and your Johto starter because their types and levels might be better for specific battles. You don't have to do all of these, but snagging every Pokémon requires you to skip all but the first two on the list:

One more thing, if at any time you need to heal, you can save and heal at the bottom-right area of the city in one of the buildings.

Chaser Calda

The trainers in the Square do have Shadow Pokémon, which you can and should snag:

Rider Vant

Rider Vant Pyrite Town Colosseum Reward: $300

Type: Ghost Unknown Ability: Levitate Held item: Spell Tag Shadow Lv.30+ Misdreavus♂/♀ Shadow Rush Shadow   --       Confuse Ray Ghost   --       Mean Look Normal   --       Shadow Ball Ghost   --       Type: Normal Unknown Ability: Cute Charm Held item: None Skitty♀ Lv.28 Tickle Normal   --       Growl Normal   --       Tackle Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Type: Normal Unknown Ability: Pickup Held item: None Zigzagoon♂ Lv.28 Tickle Normal   --       Tail Whip Normal   --       Headbutt Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --

Makuhita is useful for killing here and Misdreavus shouldn't present a problem catching. Misdreavus will be a good asset to your team in the long run.

Bandana Guy Divel

Bandana Guy Divel Pyrite Town Colosseum Reward: $480
Types: Water Ground Ability: Damp or Water Absorb Held item: None Shadow Lv.30+ Quagsire♂/♀ Shadow Rush Shadow   --       Amnesia Psychic   --       Slam Normal   --       Surf Water   --       Type: Water Unknown Ability: Damp Held item: None Psyduck♂ Lv.29 Confusion Psychic   --       Tail Whip Normal   --       Disable Normal   --       Scratch Normal   --

Psyduck is a pushover if you take him out early. Go easy on the attacks, Quagsire is very weak and you don't want to kill it.

Roller Boy Lon

Roller Boy Lon Pyrite Town Colosseum Reward: $168

Type: Fire Unknown Ability: Magma Armor or Flame Body Held item: None Shadow Lv.30+ Slugma♂/♀ Shadow Rush Shadow   --       Yawn Normal   --       Rock Throw Rock   --       Flamethrower Fire   --       Type: Normal Unknown Ability: Huge Power Held item: None Azurill♀ Lv.27 Sing Normal   --       Tail Whip Normal   --       Water Gun Water   --       Struggle Normal   --       Type: Normal Unknown Ability: Cute Charm Held item: None Igglybuff♀ Lv.26 Sing Normal   --       Charm Normal   --       Pound Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Types: Normal Flying Ability: Natural Cure Held item: None Swablu♂ Lv.27 Sing Normal   --       Peck Flying   --       Fury Attack Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --

Don't use Water attacks on Slugma or he'll probably die. Igglybuff goes down fast, Azurill and Swablu shouldn't present a problem.

Rider Nover

Rider Nover Pyrite Town Colosseum Reward: $300

Type: Flying Unknown Ability: Insomnia or Keen Eye Held item: None Shadow Lv.30+ Noctowl♂/♀ Shadow Rush Shadow   --       Hypnosis Psychic   --       Reflect Psychic   --       Fly Flying   --       Types: Bug Flying Ability: Early Bird Held item: None Ledyba♀ Lv.27 Tackle Normal   --       Safeguard Normal   --       Comet Punch Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Types: Water Flying Ability: Keen Eye Held item: None Wingull♂ Lv.27 Water Gun Water   --       Growl Normal   --       Gust Flying   --       Struggle Normal   --

Ledyba and Noctowl can present real challenges. Focus on Shadow Noctowl and catching it, which is a feat in itself. Then Ledyba and Wingull should go down without too much of an HP loss on your part.

St. Performer Diogo

St.Performer Diogo Pyrite Town Colosseum Reward: $480
Type: Electric Unknown Ability: Static Held item: None Shadow Lv.30+ Flaaffy♂/♀ Shadow Rush Shadow   --       Thunder Wave Electric   --       Cotton Spore Grass   --       ThunderShock Electric   --       Type: Grass Unknown Ability: Effect Spore Held item: None Shroomish♀ Lv.26 Tackle Normal   --       Stun Spore Grass   --       Absorb Grass   --       Struggle Normal   --

Easy, though Flaaffy has a low capture rate, so have a few Great Balls handy.

Rider Leba

Rider Leba Pyrite Town Colosseum Reward: $300

Types: Grass Poison Ability: Unknown Held item: None Oddish♀ Lv.26 Razor Leaf Grass   --       Struggle Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Types: Bug Poison Ability: Shield Dust Held item: None Dustox♂ Lv.26 Gust Flying   --       Poison Sting Poison   --       Confusion Psychic   --       Struggle Normal   --       Types: Grass Flying Ability: Chlorophyll Held item: None Shadow Lv.30+ Skiploom♀ Shadow Rush Shadow   --       Cotton Spore Grass   --       Sleep Powder Grass   --       Mega Drain Grass   --

Skiploom should be easy to catch, and Oddish should be easy to kill. Should work well together.

After facing all of these trainers, go back and save+heal. You'll need it. If you're out of Great Balls at any point, you can go back to the Outskirt Stand with a little detour. Now you're gonna deal with that thug way over there, but first we've got to meet Duking and Marcia. Head left from where Roller Boy Lon was. Duking will tell you to leave him be, but the bookcase in front of the little kid on the left opens up. Enter and you'll find three children. The one on top is Marcia. She introduces herself and tells you to leave her be. The nerve of some people... Leave, and you'll find Duking talking to a boy with gray hair and the boy complains about Miror B. (the Cipher Admin from Phenac) but besides from one thing Duking is unfazed. The little boy turns around and tells you that his name is Silva.

Leave the room and go to the bottom of the city. Talk to the thug and he won't accept a fight. Go to the Pokémon Stadium/Colosseum at the top. Talk to the thug that isn't the thug we're looking for. He'll tell you the name of the thug is Cail (indirectly) and that if you win you get an awesome Pokémon but the match is going on right now. Now go all the way back to the bottom of the town. He'll accept your offer.

Rogue Cail

Rogue Cail Pyrite Town Colosseum Reward: $528

Type: Normal Unknown Ability: Run Away or Keen Eye Held item: None Shadow Lv.33+ Furret♂/♀ Shadow Rush Shadow   --       Helping Hand Normal   --       Quick Attack Normal   --       Strength Normal   --       Type: Fighting Unknown Ability: Guts Held item: None Machop♂ Lv.29 Karate Chop Fighting   --       Focus Energy Normal   --       Strength Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Type: Grass Unknown Ability: Early Bird Held item: None Seedot♂ Lv.29 Rock Smash Fighting   --       Bide Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Type: Psychic Unknown Ability: Trace Held item: None Ralts♀ Lv.29 Confusion Psychic   --       Imprison Psychic   --       Struggle Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --

Furret breaks the chain of all-Shadow-Pokémon-being-Level-30. Oh well. Cail's levels have most likely surpassed yours unless you've exclusively been using your Eeveelutions Espeon and Umbreon. That's not a problem. Catching Furret relatively shouldn't give you too much trouble, but it will take a lot to weaken her down. Machop, Seedot, and Ralts shouldn't be a pain.

Save+heal after the battle. You can quit now, but there's still a bit more to do before you leave here for the first time.

The Gear and the Windmill

At the Shop buy a Super Potion or two. These come in handy. Head up town and you'll see a man in a lab coat walk out his door and fall. He asks for help. Just leave him lying and enter the building he came out of. You'll hear a brief word that Silva's gone too far and the Colosseum is out of power. You have to find Silva who has the Gear.

Silva has actually already left the city and is at the Construction Lot. Head there. At the top-right you'll see Silva has already left, but he left or hid the gear here. It's at the top-right corner, you can't miss it. Grab it and head back to Pyrite. Head all the way back to the windmill building. Duking is there when you arrive. Duking is a bit torn that Silva has betrayed his trust. Duking becomes fond of you two when he finds you have the Gear. Walk up to the gears and place the missing Gear. The Windmill is working again and the Colosseum now has power.

Right before you leave Duking asks for a little help because he thinks you're no "ordinary trainer". It's time to go upstairs and to the Colosseum!
