The (Japanese: カードｅルーム Card e Room) is a room located through the left door in the lobby area of Phenac Stadium in Pokémon Colosseum. In non-Japanese versions of the game, the room is sealed and cannot legitimately be accessed. In the Japanese game, it can only be entered after completing the main story.
In this room, the player can battle VR Trainers by entering the Virtual Capsule and scanning Battle e cards with the e-Reader. The specific cards that can be used in this room are the Pokémon Colosseum Double Battle e cards and Pokémon Colosseum Double Battle e Promotional cards, which were only released in Japan. Special stage cards can also change the virtual battle stage from the default Phenac Stadium stage.
Battle modes
There are two modes of battle that can be chosen after entering the Virtual Capsule: Panel Battle and Endless Battle. The Endless Battle mode can only be unlocked by completing the Panel Battle mode.
Panel Battle
In Panel Battle mode, VR Trainers are faced by scanning Trainer cards into the e-Reader, and as the player defeats different VR Trainers, a panel for that Trainer is filled in. Trainers that have been defeated cannot be re-challenged in this mode. This mode also has three difficulty levels—Easy, Normal, and Difficult—which the player must progress through by defeating every Trainer in the current difficulty level.
Special bonus VR Trainers will also appear to challenge the player. The regular and promotional cards act differently in this respect. The Double Battle e cards and the two promotional cards are treated as three separate Panel Battle challenges, switchable by scrolling vertically. With the regular Double Battle e cards, when a row (a pack of a given color) is completed in a given difficulty, a bonus VR Trainer will appear to challenge the player. With the promotional cards, the bonus VR Trainer only appears after the player has defeated the card's featured Trainer in each of the three difficulty levels.
Each VR Trainer defeated in the Panel Battle mode earns the player Poké Coupons, with the bonus VR Trainers also awarding an additional item.
Endless Battle
The Endless Battle mode is unlocked after defeating the most difficult Panel Battle Trainers.
Endless Battle is an endurance challenge against all of the VR Trainers available in Panel Battle mode. Before each battle the player must scan one of their Double Battle e cards which will begin a fight with that Trainer. Scanning a Stadium card will change the current background. Endless Battle is always set to Difficult mode, and the player's Pokémon are not healed between battles. Every five battles, the player will be automatically taken to a battle against a random bonus Trainer from the Panel Battle mode. This bonus Trainer may also be one of the bonus Trainers included with the promotional cards Hunter Bit or Team Snagem Gaku, but only if the player has defeated their Difficult mode in Panel Battle. If the bonus Trainer is defeated the player will be awarded Poké Coupons and be prompted to scan another card. After the player has defeated a Trainer, they cannot scan that Trainer's card again until they have defeated 20 card Trainers and 4 bonus Trainers, after which all cards will be able to be scanned again to prevent the player from running out of opponents. The bonus Trainers do not have this restriction and can potentially repeat even before the player has defeated 24 Trainers.
As the player wins more battles in a row, they will receive increasing amounts of Poké Coupons from each bonus Trainer:
| Battle | Poké Coupons |
|---|---|
| 6 | 600 |
| 12 | 1200 |
| 18 | 2400 |
| 24 | 4800 |
| 30 | 9600 |
After the player has won 30 battles in a row, no more Poké Coupons will be awarded until the player loses a battle and the win streak is reset.
The player's highest win streak is tracked, and is displayed under the current win streak.

Regular Pokémon Trainers
When the player scans cards from the main four packs of the Double Battle e series, it unlocks the ability to battle the Trainers that are included on the cards. Each Trainer card has three difficulty levels, and the Trainers may be battled in any order.
Upon beating the five Trainers in a pack, the player will immediately battle a sixth bonus Trainer, which awards 80 Poké Coupons instead of 50 as well as a bonus item. If the bonus Trainer wins, the player will not be credited for defeating the Trainer prior, and will have to scan that Trainer's card again and defeat them in order to rematch the bonus Trainer.
Once all Trainers of one difficulty have been defeated, the player must snag the Shadow Pokémon from the Trainer that spawns outside the capsule before proceeding to the next difficulty.
A list of Trainers and their teams can be found here:

Promotional Pokémon Trainers
Two Double Battle e cards for were released as promotional material for Pokémon Colosseum at limited events, and in specific magazines/strategy guides. The player may scan these cards to participate in virtual battles with the trainers.
The two promotional e-Reader cards Trainers use their own menu space in the panel battle menu apart from the Pokémon Colosseum Double Battle e set, which can be viewed by scrolling up and down on the Panel Battle menu.
Shadow Pokémon Trainers
After all the regular Double Battle e card Trainers of a given difficulty are beaten in Panel Battle mode, the player will be challenged by a real Trainer outside of the Virtual Capsule who owns a special Shadow Pokémon which can only be snagged here. These battles take place in the main arena of Phenac Stadium. These Shadow Pokémon also count towards the number of Shadow Pokémon the player has caught, but do not count for completion relating to how many Shadow Pokémon the player has snagged or purified, including spawning Shadow Togetic, receiving Ho-Oh at Mt. Battle, or receiving Celebi from the Japanese Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc. If a Trainer that appears here is defeated without snagging their Shadow Pokémon they will remain in the room and continue to block access to the Virtual Capsule until the Pokémon is snagged.

Trivia
- Each card back has a scene taken from a battle with the Trainer contained on the card, sometimes depicting Pokémon that Trainer only has on later difficulties. The only exceptions are the Stadium background cards, which depict Wes standing across from a Trainer in the depicted Stadium, and the promotional cards Hunter Bit and Team Snagem Gaku, which have scenes taken from fights with their respective bonus Trainers.
- The colors of the four booster packs may be a reference to the four versions of Generation I Pokémon games in Japan.
- The Shadow Pokémon that are found in the Card e Room have fixed genders, Natures, and Abilities, and 0 in every individual value. Despite this, they can still be Shiny.
- The Shadow Pokémon found here are the only ones in Pokémon Colosseum where the Dive Ball can be used with its increased 3.5x catch rate, as when they are battled in Phenac Stadium, where the battlefield is considered to be an underwater location.
- The animation sequence used at the beginning of a battle in the Card e Room is recycled in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness for the introductions of Battle Sims.
