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

Pokémon Colosseum

In Pokémon Colosseum, Miror B. is one of the four Admins of Cipher. He is loud and flamboyant, 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 allows his grunts to 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. In the meantime, his personal peons attack Wes and are subsequently defeated.

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 him to run the Pyrite Colosseum and hand out Shadow Pokémon without resistance. Although 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, restoring Duking's power.

Miror B. appears again at Realgam Tower, where he is guarding one of the keys needed to unlock the path to the main tower. He later appears 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 slowly draining the opposing Pokémon's HP with moves such as Mega Drain and Leech Seed.

Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness

Miror B. later appears in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. Here, he 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 cannot be rebattled, Miror B. will obtain the Pokémon. After Michael 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 Shadow Voltorb, the Outskirt Stand in which he has a Shadow 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 will use a Shadow Dragonite, which is mentioned to have been stolen from the Cipher Key Lair and be 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.

Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness

First battle

If the player loses this battle, a bug is present where Voltorb will not respawn, which will lock the player out of it and Dragonite.



Outskirt Stand battle

Nosepass cannot be snagged during this battle due to the Snag Machine having been stolen.



Pyrite Colosseum battles

Miror B. will randomly replace one of the first three Trainers in the current round. All his Pyrite Colosseum Pokémon he uses are listed below. The quote variant he says before battling determines which Pokémon he will send out, in addition to one Shadow Pokémon that was missed.



Realgam Colosseum battles

Miror B. will randomly replace one of the first three Trainers in the current round. All his Realgam Colosseum Pokémon he uses are listed below. The quote variant he says before battling determines which Pokémon he will send out, in addition to one Shadow Pokémon that was missed.



Poké Spot battles

Miror B.'s Poké Spot battle teams consist of two Pokémon, plus up to two Shadow Pokémon that were missed. The strength of this team varies depending on how much progress the player has made in the game.

Initial team

This team will never include more than one Shadow Pokémon, even if the player has missed more than one.

Trivia

  • Miror B.'s hair resembles a Poké Ball turned on its side.
  • In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Miror B.'s outfit resembles fashion worn by American pop singer Michael Jackson, particularly his single gloved hand. He also occasionally performs the moonwalk, a dance pioneered by Jackson.
  • In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, the player must battle Miror B. at least four times to capture all Shadow Pokémon in the game. Since his Shadow Nosepass can't be snagged at Outskirt Stand due to the Snag Machine being unavailable at the time, he must be fought either at Pyrite Colosseum, Realgam Colosseum, or one of the Poké Spots to snag it.
  • In Pokémon Colosseum, Miror B. is the only Cipher Admin to not have a Legendary Pokémon.
  • In Pokémon Colosseum, Miror B. is the only Cipher Admin to have a unique battle theme rather than the default Cipher Admin battle theme.
    • He is also the only character in the Orre games to use more than one different battle theme per game, as he uses the Cipher Admin battle theme instead of his own theme during the Realgam Tower battle in Pokémon Colosseum.
  • If the player snags Miror B.'s Sudowoodo during the first battle with him in Pokémon Colosseum without winning the battle, he will not have another Pokémon replace Sudowoodo. This is the only battle in the game where he will not replace his snagged Shadow Pokémon.
