Appendix:Pokémon Colosseum walkthrough/Section 4

The Colosseum

Enter the Colosseum and talk to the lady. Answer "YES" to all of her questions. A Colosseum gauntlet follows with four rounds against the following trainers:

For winning the lady at the counter gives you $4,848 and the TM06 (Toxic).

The Cipher Hideout

Now it's time to enter the Cipher Hideout. Leave the Colosseum and go down the bridge. On the bridge you'll be confronted by a Cipher Peon. He won't battle you but he'll ask you to follow him. You're about to get awarded a Shadow Pokémon when the girl Peon realizes you're the guy who's been giving Miror B. all the trouble. Now the Cipher Peon will battle you.

Cipher Peon Nore Pyrite Bldg Colosseum Reward: $1,280

Types: Bug Flying Ability: Speed Boost or Compoundeyes Held item: None Shadow Lv.33+ Yanma♂/♀ Shadow Rush Shadow   --       Uproar Normal   --       Supersonic Normal   --       SonicBoom Normal   --       Type: Bug Unknown Ability: Sturdy Held item: None Pineco♂ Lv.32 Tackle Normal   --       Rapid Spin Normal   --       Bide Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Types: Bug Ground Ability: Compoundeyes Held item: None Nincada♂ Lv.31 Leech Life Bug   --       Dig Ground   --       Struggle Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Types: Bug Water Ability: Swift Swim Held item: None Surskit♀ Lv.32 Bubble Water   --       Foresight Normal   --       Quick Attack Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --

Easy. Catching Yanma will be so-so difficulty, and Pineco, Surskit, and Nincada should all be killed in one hit.

Upon defeat, Duking and a few other people appear. You find out this is where Shadow Pokémon are being given to thugs for winning (if you didn't know that already), and that Duking's Plusle has been kidnapped. Now we've got to put a stop to Miror B.'s plans and rescue Plusle.

Leave the building and the city. Head back to Phenac for a very short detour.

Phenac City

Enter the Pre Gym in the middle of the second floor. Take a sharp left and talk to the lady at the whiteboard. She'll give you a P☆DA upgrade, a Strategy Memo, which is similar to a Pokédex. It gives data on all Pokémon met so far.

Head to Outskirt Stand. By now you should have few Great Balls, so buy as much as you can there. Now head back to Pyrite.

Pyrite Bldg

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Moveset and abilities for all trainers, excluding those with Shadow Pokémon

The first trainer is guarding the elevator.

Chaser Kai Pyrite Bldg Colosseum Reward: $640
Type: Ground Unknown Ability: Pickup Held item: None Phanpy♀ Lv.31 Take Down Normal   --       Odor Sleuth Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Type: Ground Unknown Ability: Hyper Cutter Held item: None Trapinch♀ Lv.32 Sand Tomb Ground   --       Sand Attack Ground   --       Struggle Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --

To the right of the bridge is the Cipher Hideout. Enter. Take a right and go through the top-left door. You'll be met by Roller Boy Pike.

Roller Boy Pike Pyrite Bldg Colosseum Reward: $204
Types: Normal Flying Ability: Guts Held item: None Taillow♂ Lv.33 Aerial Ace Flying   --       Focus Energy Normal   --       Endeavor Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Types: Normal Flying Ability: Insomnia Held item: None Hoothoot♀ Lv.34 Wing Attack Flying   --       Foresight Normal   --       Tackle Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --

Use a Pokémon that's good against Flying or just your needing-to-be-purified Shadow Pokémon.

You can now save and heal in the room right below the Roller Boy. Right below the healing machine is a well-hidden Ein File H. We'll learn more about the Ein Files later. Go up the stairs. You'll have no choice but to fight the next guy.

Bandana Guy Geats Pyrite Bldg Colosseum Reward: $512

Types: Water Dark Ability: Rough Skin Held item: None Carvanha♂ Lv.32 Thrash Normal   --       Bite Dark   --       Focus Energy Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Types: Rock Ground Ability: Guts Held item: None Larvitar♂ Lv.31 Thrash Normal   --       Bite Dark   --       Focus Energy Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Types: Water Ground Ability: Oblivious Held item: None Barboach♂ Lv.32 Thrash Normal   --       Mud-Slap Ground   --       Amnesia Psychic   --       Struggle Normal   --

Just like Mirez from the Colosseum challenge, this is a challenging battle, although you'd think Larvitar, the basic form of a pseudo-legendary, would be harder. You can't go half a hallway until you find yet another two Trainers.

Hunter Geare Pyrite Bldg Colosseum Reward: $528
Type: Water Unknown Ability: Hustle Held item: None Remoraid♀ Lv.33 Lock-On Normal   --       Blizzard Ice   --       Water Gun Water   --       Psybeam Psychic   --       Types: Electric Steel Ability: Magnet Pull Held item: None Magnemite Lv.32 Lock-On Normal   --       Thunder Electric   --       Supersonic Normal   --       SonicBoom Normal   --

Wouldn't be so easy if he had one or two more Pokémon. Further down the maze is...

There's a Revive in the next room in the bottom-left corner behind the door before blue-haired Trainer who, surprise, surprise, will battle you without hesitation.

Hunter Toti Pyrite Colosseum Colosseum Reward: N/A

Type: Water Unknown Ability: Swift Swim Held item: None Horsea♀ Lv.31 Unknown Unknown   --       Unknown Unknown   --       Unknown Unknown   --       Unknown Unknown   --       Types: Grass Poison Ability: Chlorophyll Held item: None Oddish♀ Lv.32 Unknown Unknown   --       Unknown Unknown   --       Unknown Unknown   --       Unknown Unknown   --       Type: Ground Unknown Ability: Sand Veil Held item: None Sandshrew♂ Lv.32 Unknown Unknown   --       Unknown Unknown   --       Unknown Unknown   --       Unknown Unknown   --

Apparently not now. You should go downstairs and heal/save anyway. Now you're on the roof when you get back up. Head left, ignoring the grunt, and enter the door. You'll find Silva defeated by two Miror B.Peons. Challenge time!

Miror B.Peon Reath Pyrite Bldg Colosseum Reward: $660

Type: Water Unknown Ability: Hustle Held item: None Shadow Lv.20+ Remoraid♂/♀ Shadow Rush Shadow   --       Aurora Beam Ice   --       Psybeam Psychic   --       Lock-On Normal   --       Type: Water Unknown Ability: Swift Swim Held item: None Luvdisc♀ Lv.32 Agility Psychic   --       Take Down Normal   --       Water Gun Water   --       Struggle Normal   --       Types: Bug Poison Ability: Insomnia Held item: None Spinarak♂ Lv.33 Agility Psychic   --       Leech Life Bug   --       Night Shade Ghost   --       Struggle Normal   --

Hey! Finally, a Shadow Pokémon and a challenging battle. Be very careful with Shadow Remoraid. It shouldn't be that hard to catch.

Immediately after defeat, Ferma challenges you. She's much harder.

Miror B.Peon Ferma Pyrite Bldg Colosseum Reward: $660

Types: Water Flying Ability: Swift Swim or Water Absorb Held item: None Shadow Lv.33+ Mantine♂/♀ Shadow Rush Shadow   --       BubbleBeam Water   --       Supersonic Normal   --       Take Down Normal   --       Type: Normal Unknown Ability: Pickup Held item: None Aipom♂ Lv.32 Agility Psychic   --       Astonish Ghost   --       Struggle Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Types: Bug Flying Ability: Speed Boost Held item: None Yanma♂ Lv.33 Tackle Normal   --       Detect Fighting   --       SonicBoom Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Type: Normal Unknown Ability: Keen Eye Held item: None Furret♀ Lv.31 Defense Curl Normal   --       Quick Attack Normal   --       Helping Hand Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --

Mantine should present a challenge in catching, Furret's a beast, and Aipom and Yanma are so-so. After beating her, Silva will ask if you know Duking twice. Answer "YES" both times. Miror B. will show up on the television. He tells them he's been using Plusle as bait to get them to follow him. It's a perfect "tactic".

Ein File S is just there. Go downstairs and enter the elevator. Downstairs are 3 Hyper Potions. You're back in the lobby. Heal+save. Move your party around if you have to. Go back up the maze and you should now talk to the grunt. These guys just don't get it. You defeat their leaders yet they think they can beat you.

Hunter Doken Pyrite Town Colosseum Reward: $528

Types: Water Poison Ability: Poison Point or Swift Swim Held item: Poison Barb Shadow Lv.33+ Qwilfish♂/♀ Shadow Rush Shadow   --       Minimize Normal   --       Poison Sting Poison   --       Surf Water   --       Type: Water Unknown Ability: Water Veil Held item: None Goldeen♂ Lv.33 Horn Attack Normal   --       Peck Flying   --       Supersonic Normal   --       Mud Sport Ground   --       Type: Normal Unknown Ability: Pickup Held item: None Linoone♂ Lv.33 Headbutt Normal   --       Odor Sleuth Normal   --       Sand-Attack Ground   --       Mud Sport Ground   --

Goldeen and Linoone are so-so difficulty, Qwilfish can be pretty hard to catch. Remember you can catch Shadow Pokémon later at the very end of the game if you have to. He'll now finally let you into Pyrite Cave.
