Miror B. (Japanese: ミラーボ Mirorbo) is a recurring character and major antagonist from Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD. He is the only character in the games to have the Trainer class Wanderer (Japanese: さすらい Wanderer).
In the games
In Pokémon Colosseum, Miror B. is one of the four Admins of Cipher. A man with a gigantic two-toned afro (which resembles a Poké Ball turned on its side), garish glasses, and dressed in a golden sequin-studded leisure suit, Miror B. is the definition of "loud and flamboyant." He spoils his Pokémon and would rather spend time teaching them how to dance than fulfilling his duties as a Cipher Admin. An example of this is seen in Pyrite Town, where he basically lets his grunts do whatever they want as long as they leave him alone so he can practice his dancing.
Miror B. in Pokémon Colosseum
Miror B. makes his first appearance in Phenac City, where Wes and Rui find him "terrorizing" the mayor, Es Cade. He pauses to drop some vague hints regarding Cipher's involvement, then leaves Phenac City to return to Pyrite Town while his personal Peons attack Wes and lose badly.
After the player reaches Pyrite Town, it is discovered that Miror B. is controlling the town with an iron fist. Having kidnapped Duking's Plusle and holding it hostage, Miror B. has effectively blackmailed the town's reigning hero into uselessness, allowing the dancing deviant to run the Pyrite Colosseum and hand out Shadow Pokémon with no resistance to his reign. Though Duking's subordinate Silva attempts to foil the scheme by sneaking into the Pyrite Bldg in order to rescue Plusle, he is greatly overpowered by the guards. Fortunately, he is rescued by Wes and Rui, who proceed into the Pyrite Cave and challenge Miror B. After his defeat, Miror B. leaves town and Plusle is returned to Duking; thus the town is freed from Miror B.'s grasp.
Miror B. shows up again at Realgam Tower, where he is guarding one of the keys needed to unlock the path to the main tower. He is later found as an opponent in the Deep Colosseum as the last opponent of the first round. Revisiting Miror B.'s "dance stage" prior to defeating Evice will reveal a unique Cipher Peon named Mirakle B., who claims to be Miror B.'s successor.
When Wes first confronts Miror B., his Pokémon consist of four Ludicolo and a Shadow Sudowoodo (later replaced by Armaldo), though he uses more variety in his Pokémon during later matches. Miror B.'s battle strategy consists of stalling his opponent, using Rain Dance to boost his Pokémon's abilities while he slowly whittles their HP away with moves like Mega Drain and Leech Seed.
Miror B. is the only one of the Cipher Admins to not receive a Legendary Pokémon. Also, he is the only Admin to have his own theme music, a Latin-styled dance theme, which plays when he is fought in Pyrite Cave and Deep Colosseum. In Realgam Tower, he decides to fight without his theme, and the standard Admin Battle music plays in its place.
Miror B. later appears in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. Here, Miror B. now wears a darker outfit styled after American pop singer Michael Jackson, complete with a single gloved hand (though the glove is black instead of white and is worn on the right hand instead of the left); he is even seen Moonwalking on occasion. His battle theme has also changed to a more disco-styled tone to reflect his new wardrobe.
Miror B. is no longer an Admin of Cipher, but is instead attempting to set up his own group, Team Miror, which consists of himself, Trudly and Folly, and is seeking to own all the Pokémon in the world.
In this game, when a Shadow Pokémon is defeated before it is snagged and its Trainer can't be rebattled, Miror B. will obtain the Pokémon. After the player meets Miror B. for the first time, he obtains the Miror Radar, which alerts him when Miror B. has entered an area. He can be found at any Poké Spot, and occasionally can be fought as an opponent in the Pyrite and Realgam Colosseum challenges.
He also has three set appearances, each with a unique Shadow Pokémon to snag: the first meeting at the Cave Poké Spot where he has a Voltorb, the Outskirt Stand in which he has a Nosepass (though it cannot be snagged in this encounter due to not having the Snag Machine at the time), and Gateon Port's lighthouse, where he will only appear once all other Shadow Pokémon in the game have been snagged. In this final battle, he'll use a Shadow Dragonite, which is mentioned as having been stolen from the Cipher Key Lair and being the last one produced prior to its shutdown.
After his defeat and the snag of his Dragonite, Miror B. escapes once more. As he flees, he finds the transmitter to the Miror Radar in his afro and removes it, unaware as to what purpose it served in his repeated defeats. He can be found afterwards at The Krabby Club, dancing with Razell and Dazell.

Quotes
Pokémon Colosseum
- Phenac City
- "Oh, now aren't you boys frightfully pathetic? You mean to tell me you were bested by these darling infants? Darling, did you say your name was <player> or something? I so don't like saying this, but we're not at liberty to keep your lady friend at liberty. That sweet young thing, she can see things that ordinary people aren't supposed to see. That just will not do for what we're planning to do. No, it just won't do at all. If you don't like pain, like most people, you can avoid the pain by keeping your nose out of places it needn't be."
- "Boys! Oh boys!"
- "Boys, I shall make my return to Pyrite now. Do remember that I will be waiting for you to return with the little lady. Am I making myself clear? I won't accept failure from you again, boys. Fuhohoho…"
- "Let the music spin! Let's get it on!"
- Pyrite Bldg
- "Oh yes indeed, Master Nascour! Our plan is coming along in a lovely, peachy-keen way. We have already broken Duking's spirit. We can do as we please at the Colosseum without his meddling. We've been giving away Shadow Pokémon on the sly to challenge winners for gathering data."
- "Fuhohoho! This is perking up my spirit and body! I feel like dancing!"
- "Okay then… I shall make my return to the cave where my darling Pokémon await my return! Let the music play!"
- "Fuhohoho! We meet again, kiddies!"
- "Cowardly cheat? That's so not true! Taking a hostage is perfectly fine as a bargaining tactic!"
- "Oh, the darling couldn't be any safer if it tried! I'm sure it will come to adore me before too much longer."
- "Fuhohoho. No running or hiding for me! Come to the cave; that's where I'll be. I'll be waiting for you, my pretties! Fuhohoho!"
- Pyrite Cave
- If attempted to sneak past Miror B.
- "Hey, hey, people! Going that way is a no-no!"
- "Yeah, woot! It's about time, darlings! I'm so frightfully tired of waiting for you. Stop the music!"
- "Oh, you kept me waiting for so long, I decided to work up a little perspiration! Fuhohoho. But, my, you have been busy being naughty and messing up our plans. It was oh-so-close for everything to turn out just right, just the way we hoped. But I can salvage our plan by beating you, little man. And so… There's time for one last frantic dance before the grand finale! Let the music play!"
- Before battle, if lost to before
- "Fwohohoho! You've come back again? But it won't matter! The outcome will always be the same!"
- "I can't keep up with the tempo! Oh, no, no, what a no-no!"
- "How, how, how dare you! Don't you dare think you'll get away with your latest outrage! One of these days, I will take great pleasure in kicking you about with my elegant dance steps! Oh, and I'm not giving up our Shadow Pokémon plan! Let's go! Escape!"
- Realgam Tower
- "Fuhohohoh. You've kept me hanging around, <player>. You ruined things in Pyrite for us. But, you know, we're not about to lose over and over to you. This time, I'll win. And I mean it this time. Let the music play! …Oh, never mind that. We'll battle right away!"
- Before battle, if lost to before
- "Fuhohoho! When will your realize how futile it is for you to challenge me? But if that's the way you like it, uh-huh, I'll show you how it's done. Let's battle!"
- "I'm an awesome dancer… But I can't win in battles!"
- "This just won't do! But I'll admit you've beaten me thoroughly. Okay, since I'm done, I'll give you this. Here!
- "Think of that as a little gift from our great leader Nascour. Don't leave without it, because you'll get nowhere. But, you know, maybe it'd be for your own good if you didn't go on. Fuhohoho!"
- Deep Colosseum
- "Fwohohoho! So, we meet again! You're not escaping my wrath this time!"
- "Oh, no, no, no! My tempo is off again! This won't do at all!"
Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness
- Cave Poké Spot (first visit)
- "Fuhohoho! Hey, my posse! Have you rounded up Pokémon like I wanted?"
- "Hm? Stop the music!"
- "Sniff… Oh, oh, oh! I sense the pleasing scent of Pokémon, oh yes I do! Maybe you're just a little hood, but maybe you're also one fine Trainer with the goods? How about you get with it and join my posse? Be one of us, and you'll soon be owning all the Pokémon around the world."
- Yes: "Oh! I hear your mouth say it, but your heart's not in it. I can't abide that. It's big-decision time; you need to think hard before you choose a life of crime. So, tell me, will you join my posse?"
- No: "Fuhohoho! I thought you'd say that! You always had this smell to me, you see, that you would be our enemy. How I deal with a threat is to nip it while it's a bud yet. Fuhohoho! I'll be showing you my power now. Try not to be blown away by a sense of wow! Let the music play!"
- "You messed up my rhythm! I just can't, no, I just can't do it!"
- "Oh, you, you, you! You make me so angry. I'm seeing red! Don't you dare think this is over! Just you wait and see! One of these days, with my elegant steps, I'll knock you sideways!"
- "Let's go! Escape!"
- Outskirt Stand
- "Achoo! Achoo!"
- "Fuhohoho! Did I hear overhear you talking about me?"
- "Oh? Well, if it isn't that super-aggravating little boy who served me a bitter memory at the Poké Spot!"
- "Fuhohoho! What perfect timing! For a little exercise after my meal, I'll wipe you out with my elegant steps! Let the music start!"
- Before battle, if lost to before
- "Fuhohoho! I'll beat you as often as you wish!"
- "I shouldn't have done something this strenuous right after eating…"
- "Oh, how dare you! I say, how dare you! Next time, I'll put things right and lay down my elegant steps! Let's go! Escape!"
- Pyrite Colosseum (first variant)
- "I'm ready and set to go! You can bring it on whenever!"
- "I was ready, but not enough! It won't be me losing the next time!"
- Pyrite Colosseum (second variant)
- "What I call my grooving style, can you keep up with it?"
- "That groove wasn't very groovy…"
- Pyrite Colosseum (third variant)
- "Hey, baby, it's you again! This time, I'm putting you out of the competition!"
- "If this is about dancing, you're not in my league, baby."
- Pyrite Colosseum (fourth variant)
- "Could you soar above my elegant dance steps?"
- "My timing slipped! Oh, how vexing!"
- Realgam Colosseum (first variant)
- "With my gorgeously elegant dance steps, I'll send you packing!"
- "My gorgeously elegant dance steps aren't easy, you know!"
- Realgam Colosseum (second variant)
- "Oh, you are unlucky to have to face me! Let the music play!"
- "You've beaten me through and through and thoroughly, too! This won't do at all, not at all!"
- Realgam Colosseum (third variant)
- "Hey, baby, not you again! This time, I'm not going to forgive you!"
- "Oh, the tempo is all wrong again! It won't do at all!"
- Realgam Colosseum (fourth variant)
- "I'm your dance partner this time."
- "The tempo is off! It won't do at all!"
- Rock Poké Spot (first variant)
- "Well, my boys, isn't that pathetic? Surely, you two aren't spooked by this little boy? How very, very bad is that? You're <player>, is that it? I don't want to disappoint you or anything, but I don't have mercy for anyone in our way. Not even little children! Let the music play!"
- "The tempo's off! This won't do, won't do at all!"
- "Oh, I took you for granted! Just a boy, I thought to myself! You two!"
- "This is where we all say, “Let's go, escape!”"
- Rock Poké Spot (second variant)
- "Oh dear, not you again. Let me guess, you're my fan? I can understand that, but I really can't abide a stalker! But if you really insist, I would be happy to give you my autograph in exchange for all your Pokémon."
- "Dancing and battling, they're not the same, no, no!"
- "Oh, you! I'm quite offended that you would beat me. What kind of fan are you, anyway? This time, I'll overlook it. But I won't let you off if it ever happens again! Okay! Let's go! Escape!"
- Oasis Poké Spot (first variant)
- "Fuhohoho! We meet yet again! What perfect timing! Perhaps we're tied by some bond I don't know about. But you still cause me so much distress! For me to get all the Pokémon in the world, you're an impudent impediment! And so… Let the music start!"
- "Okay, now I'm furious! It's hopeless!"
- "Oh, how dare you! I say, how dare you! Don't you dare think that this is where it ends! Next time, I'll put things right and lay down my elegant steps! Let's go! Escape!"
- Oasis Poké Spot (second variant)

- "Sniff, sniff… Uh-huh! I smell the alluring aroma of Pokémon, oh yes, I do! My summoning dance has brought some Pokémon here! Fuhohohoh!"
- "I can tell you've got some very cute Pokémon with you. Well, they'll all soon be mine! Let the music play!"
- "If it's about cutting dance steps, I won't lose!"
- "Oh, how dare you! But you're hugely mistaken if you really think that this is where it ends! One of these days, I'll put things right and lay down my elegant steps! Until then… Let's go! Escape!"
- Cave Poké Spot (first variant)
- "Stop the music! Well, well, well! If it isn't the ultra-uncool booy who always, always, always messes up my plans!"
- "Oh, what a swell idea! Let's try that right away! Let the music start!"
- "I can't get into rhythm with you, not at all!"
- "Humph! My groove was just a little off today. Don't even think that you've bested me yet, you silly boy! Fuhohohoh! Okay, you two! Let's go! Escape!"
- Cave Poké Spot (second variant)
- "Oh, my! Your timing is impeccable!"
- "You two! I'll give you a demonstration of what makes my steps so elegant. Let the music start!"
- "Woohoo! So I lost!
- "Stop the music! You silly boy! In this situation, you should know that you need to match rhythms with me! It's all your fault you've thrown my timing out of whack! Oh, you annoying child!"
- "You two! Let's go! Escape! Don't fall behind!"
- Gateon Port
- "I, I, I! Want you! Want you! Huh?! Stop the music!"
- "Let me wind down the music and take a look! Oh, you are! You are that super-annoying brat! It's all your fault that my Shadow Pokémon is the last of the kind! But you did worse! You messed up my dance for celebrating the future of Team Miror! Today of all days, you're not going to get away! No, you'll never, never get away! Let the music play!"
- Before battle, if lost to before or failed to snag Dragonite
- "Fuhohoho! You've come back again? You super-annoying brat, you! My dance to celebrate our future is reaching a climax. I can't let you meddle now!"
- "Battling with you, I can't seem to find the right groove at all."
- "Oh, how dare you! I say, how dare you! That Shadow Dragonite was Cipher's very last Shadow Pokémon! There's only one thing to do now."
- "Let's go! Escape!"
- "Huh? What is this? In my perfectly coiffed afro do, I found this little device."
- After being defeated, if the Shadow Dragonite wasn't snagged
- "Oh, how dare you! I say, how dare you! But, I still have the Shadow Dragonite with me! All I need is a little rest. When I feel chipper again, I'll show you who's the star with my elegant dance steps!"
- The Krabby Club
