Team Snagem
Team Snagem (Japanese スナッチ団 Snatch-dan, literally Snatch Gang) was once a petty group of thieves operating in Orre. They used Eclo Canyon to conceal their Snagem Hideout.
One day, Team Snagem agreed to an alliance with Cipher, another criminal organization. Cipher supplied Team Snagem with Snag Machines, which allowed Snagem members to steal Pokémon from trainers. Team Snagem were also eventually given powerful Shadow Pokémon.
Wes, a former member of Team Snagem, stole a portable Snag Machine and blew up the Snagem Hideout.
The leader of Team Snagem, Gonzap, later confronted Wes at Realgam Tower, and was defeated. The two had a rematch in the remains of the Snagem Hideout, and Gonzap lost again.
In Pokémon XD, Team Snagem attempts to regain their former glory by stealing the Snag Machine used by Michael. However, Michael attacks Snagem Hideout, defeating Gonzap and reclaiming the Snag Machine. Gonzap then helps Michael, noting that as long as Cipher is active in Orre, Snagem will never be the most powerful criminal organization there.
During the ending sequence of Pokémon XD, Gonzap and Wakin, Gonzap's Gloom-obsessed second-in-command, are shown with the rest of the "good" characters.
Trivia
- Team Snagem is a pun of snagging, or "Snag 'Em".
