Appendix:Pokémon Colosseum walkthrough/Section 8

Realgam Tower: Part 1

Realgam Tower is on the map. This is the final area of the main game. Go to it, and enter it, go upwards, and you'll find an old man. Speak to him and answer "NO". As you prepare to leave, it transforms and reveals it was a Cipher Peon in disguise.

Cipher Peon Bopen
Level 39 Grimer
Level 39 Dustox
Level 40 Seviper

Easy compared to what you're going to experience in the Realgam Tower. You should now heal+save. Head left, then up, then up. The Cipher Peon you chose now battles you.

Cipher Peon Baila
Level 41 Gloom
Level 42 Jumpluff
Level 45 Shadow Sunflora

Sunflora is easy to catch, really. Gloom and Jumpluff shouldn't be hard. Remember, you can go back and heal+save like always. You should fight the other Peon now, because you'll have to go both ways eventually.

Cipher Peon Arton
Level 42 Piloswine
Level 42 Glalie
Level 45 Shadow Delibird

Easy to catch and beat. Head right, you'll find a door with four keys. What four people could be holding these keys? Head left and then up. You'll find Venus.

Hard, hard battle. Entei appears instead of Houndoom if you didn't snag it. GREEN KEY GET! You can now open the door. Head down, left, up (save+heal), left, up, and right. You're at the giant door. Insert the four keys and BAM! another Cipher Peon. He's trying to do this yet you just defeated all four Cipher Admins.

Cipher Peon Dioge
Level 42 Masquerain
Level 41 Ariados
Level 45 Shadow Heracross

Easy pickins. Enter the giant door.

Realgam Tower: Part 2

Immediately you'll get an e-mail. Open your P☆DA to see the list of Shadow Pokémon. It's not all of them. Head upwards.

Bandana Guy Klest

Rider Kivel
Level 41 Quagsire
Level 40 Sandslash

Head to the top-right to find one of the Trainers with a Shadow Pokémon. This was the Cipher Peon that you snagged the Johto starter from. Fight!

Cipher Peon Verde/Rosso/Bluno
Level 44 Grumpig
Level 45 Muk

Piece of cake. He'll have your Bayleef/Croconaw/Quilava if you didn't catch it earlier. Don't go upstairs but go back and across the hall. Halfway there, you'll run into Silva who is disguised. Enter the right wing... but before you can a Bodybuilder gets in your way and nearly scares my sister to death.

Bodybuilder Givern

Go inside, talk to the lady, answer "YES", and have a battle.

Rider Elose
Level 40 Cradily
Level 40 Chimecho
Level 39 Swalot
Level 39 Noctowl

After the battle, leave and go up the elevator near Silva. Before you do, you might want to save+heal. After a cutscene, you can take a left into a door. You can save, but if you want to heal, you'll have to face the following Trainer.

Chaser Rugen
Level 40 Shelgon
Level 41 Vigoroth

Now, Two elevators won't work, but the third one releases a little surprise... it's Gonzap, an old face! Prepare for a battle between you and your old boss!

Snagem Head Gonzap Realgam Tower Colosseum Reward: $5,300

Types: Water Dark Ability: Hyper Cutter Held item: None Crawdaunt♂ Lv.52 Sludge Bomb Poison   --       Crabhammer Water   --       Aerial Ace Flying   --       Strength Normal   --       Types: Grass Dark Ability: Chlorophyll Held item: None Shiftry♀ Lv.53 Aerial Ace Flying   --       Giga Drain Grass   --       Faint Attack Dark   --       Shadow Ball Ghost   --       Type: Bug Unknown Ability: Hyper Cutter Held item: None Pinsir♀ Lv.52 Earthquake Ground   --       Submission Fighting   --       Flail Normal   --       Cut Normal   --       Type: Fighting Unknown Ability: Guts Held item: None Hariyama♂ Lv.53 Brick Break Fighting   --       Earthquake Ground   --       Foresight Normal   --       Reversal Fighting   --       Types: Steel Flying Ability: Keen Eye or Sturdy Held item: Sharp Beak Shadow Lv.47+ Skarmory♂/♀ Shadow Rush Shadow   --       Metal Sound Steel   --       Air Cutter Flying   --       Steel Wing Steel   --

Realgam Tower: Part 3

So here's the rundown. You have four matches against random Trainers, and two more matches.

Bodybuilder Jomas
Level 45 Zangoose
Level 45 Porygon2
Level 48 Shadow Miltank

Miltank Snagging is semi-hard. Beating Jomas is so-so difficulty.

Rider Delan
Level 48 Mightyena
Level 47 Sharpedo
Level 48 Shadow Absol

Absol Snagging is hard. Beating Delan is so-so difficulty.

Cipher Peon Nella
Level 47 Torkoal

Houndoom Snagging is semi-hard. Beating Nella is so-so difficulty.

Cipher Peon Ston
Level 48 Cradily
Level 48 Vileplume
Level 49 Cacturne
Level 49 Shadow Tropius

Tropius Snagging is hard. Beating Ston is semi-hard.

Alright, it's the moment we've all been waiting for. Nascour walks on-stage with dramatic music. This battle has good music because there is none at all which just adds to the epic-ness.

Cipher Nascour Tower Colosseum Colosseum Reward: $5,600

Type: Ghost Unknown Ability: Pressure Held item: None Dusclops♀ Lv.55 Shadow Ball Ghost   --       Psychic Psychic   --       Confuse Ray Ghost   --       Destiny Bond Ghost   --       Type: Psychic Unknown Ability: Synchronize Held item: None Gardevoir♂ Lv.55 Psychic Psychic   --       Thunderbolt Electric   --       Taunt Dark   --       Destiny Bond Ghost   --       Types: Fire Fighting Ability: Blaze Held item: None Blaziken♂ Lv.54 Blaze Kick Fire   --       Sky Uppercut Fighting   --       Swagger Normal   --       Roar Normal   --       Types: Psychic Flying Ability: Synchronize Held item: None Xatu♀ Lv.54 Psychic Psychic   --       Drill Peck Flying   --       Giga Drain Grass   --       Confuse Ray Ghost   --       Types: Ice Water Ability: Thick Fat Held item: None Walrein♀ Lv.56 Attract Normal   --       Ice Beam Ice   --       Body Slam Normal   --       Waterfall Water   --       Types: Steel Psychic Ability: Clear Body Held item: Metal Coat Shadow Lv.50+ Metagross Shadow Rush Shadow   --       Iron Defense Steel   --       Metal Claw Steel   --       Psychic Psychic   --

Metagross Snagging is very hard. Beating Nascour is hard.

Upon defeat, Nascour is saddened. He apologizes... but to who? Suddenly, the mayor Es Cade pops out of the ground. It turns out he's really the head of Cipher, and on top of that, Es Cade is really a disguise! He's really Evice, super clown!

Cipher Head Evice Tower Colosseum Colosseum Reward: $6,100

Types: Water Psychic Ability: Own Tempo Held item: None Slowking♀ Lv.61 Shadow Ball Ghost   --       Psychic Psychic   --       Water Pulse Water   --       Skill Swap Psychic   --       Types: Bug Steel Ability: Swarm Held item: None Scizor♀ Lv.60 Metal Claw Steel   --       Silver Wind Bug   --       Baton Pass Normal   --       Swords Dance Normal   --       Type: Fighting Unknown Ability: Guts Held item: None Machamp♂ Lv.61 Cross Chop Fighting   --       Rock Slide Rock   --       Earthquake Ground   --       Bulk Up Fighting   --       Types: Dragon Flying Ability: Intimidate Held item: None Salamence♂ Lv.60 Dragon Dance Dragon   --       Double-Edge Normal   --       Aerial Ace Flying   --       Dragon Claw Dragon   --       Type: Normal Unknown Ability: Truant Held item: None Slaking♂ Lv.60 Crush Claw Normal   --       Aerial Ace Flying   --       Earthquake Ground   --       Bulk Up Fighting   --       Types: Rock Dark Ability: Sand Stream Held item: Nugget Shadow Lv.55+ Tyranitar♂/♀ Shadow Rush Shadow   --       Thunder Electric   --       Rock Slide Rock   --       Blizzard Ice   --

Tyranitar Snagging is very hard. Beating Evice is very hard.

Upon defeat, I won't spoil the ending cinematics. The guide's not finished: It's going to catch every Shadow Pokémon there is. A number of trainers in Pyrite Town and Pyrite Cave are available to rematch, though.
