This is a long post that involves a road of DS-transmitted data. This post and the next one culminates with a fourth battle against Miror B. (that doesn't involve someone else's Shadow Pokémon) in XD: Gale of Darkness. This is all data from Colosseum originally that led to a second match against Fein in that game, modified for XD: Gale of Darkness. This post has data that doesn't involve Trainers' City.
Part 1: Outside Team Missions (Colosseum Versions: Magma Aqua Flora Plasma Ending)
Mission originally created by Sunflorazumarill. Modified by myself for XD: Gale of Darkness.
Transmit the passwords on all seven Weather Cubes to the Tajiri server. This will transmit an XD: Gale of Darkness version of the first-ever transmittable Colosseum mission into XD: Gale of Darkness, with some differences.
This piece of data is an XD: Gale of Darkness version of a Colosseum mission that involves five additional evil teams. To do this piece of data in XD: Gale of Darkness, you must have beaten Greevil at least once. When you first continue your progress, you'll get an E-mail from Nett titled "Magma?!". In it, it tells you Nett has something important to tell you. Also included in the e-mail is your quick password, which allows you to download the mission from the Tajiri server with just one password. After getting this E-mail, if you go up to any TV, you'll hear a news report about other organizations in Orre. The broadcast goes like this: "We have breaking news! It turns out that the organization mentioned earlier with a plot for world domination has been stopped, but there are rumors of 5 other organizations operating all around Orre. We will tell you more of this story as we find out more!" As it turns out, Team Magma, Team Aqua, Team Flora, and Team Plasma have come to Orre and are wreaking havoc there. You'll have to fight each of them. Here is where each Team is:
Magma: Mt. Battle (Area 1)
Aqua: Pyrite Town (ONBS Station)
Flora: Team Snagem Hideout
Plasma: Shadow Pokémon Lab
The battles with the team Grunts are still 2-on-2 (like all the trainer battles in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness after snagging the shadow Teddiursa). Each group is lead by a corresponding team's Admin, who has a Shadow Pokémon (indicated in red). (These additional Shadow Pokémon along with others accessed through other DS-transmittable data will contribute to a fourth battle with Miror B. (that doesn't involve someone else's Shadow Pokémon).) You can do this mission again once it's completed by transmitting the passwords again. If you do and you've already Snagged a Shadow Pokémon from an Admin, he or she will instead have a different regular Pokémon (indicated in green). Anyway, here is more information on each team:
TEAM MAGMA: Location, Mt. Battle
Anyway, head to the ONBS Station and talk to Nett. He'll tell you that a team known as Magma is at Mt. Battle. Immediately head there and you'll learn that Team Magma has taken Area 1 over. (Any Mt. Battle progress you have will be halted until Team Magma leaves.) The woman will let you go to Area 1. When you head into Area 1, you'll notice that instead of the usual Mt. Battle Trainers on each platform, each platform instead has a Team Magma Grunt. You'll have to fight each of them to reach the end of Area 1. Here are each Grunt's Pokémon that you fight as you make your way up Mt. Battle:
Team Magma Grunt(M): L43 Baltoy, L44 Ponyta, L45 Makuhita, L46 Numel
Team Magma Grunt(F): L44 Houndour, L45 Rhyhorn, L46 Growlithe, L47 Sableye
Team Magma Grunt(M): L45 Vulpix, L46 Lairon, L47 Magby, L48 Sandslash
Team Magma Grunt(F): L46 Charmeleon, L47 Donphan, L48 Magcargo, L49 Stantler
Team Magma Grunt(M): L47 Golbat, L48 Torkoal, L49 Onix, L50 Houndoom
Team Magma Grunt(F): L48 Vibrava, L49 Togetic, L50 Magcargo, L51 Hypno
Team Magma Grunt(M): L49 Swellow, L50 Ninetales, L51 Miltank, L52 Pupitar
Team Magma Grunt(F): L50 Torkoal, L51 Shelgon, L52 Claydol, L53 Rapidash
Team Magma Grunt(M): L51 Ninetales, L52 Rhydon, L53 Houndoom, L54 Steelix
Once you reach the 10th platform of Mt. Battle, you'll find a Team Magma Admin, Harland, holding Vander (the Area 1 Leader) hostage. You'll then have to fight Harland. He'll have Mightyena use Sunny Day, which will power up his Camerupt's Eruption and his Blaziken's Blaze Kick. His Mightyena also knows Iron Tail and Hyper Beam and his Armaldo will use Ancientpower and Aerial Ace to deal heavy physical damage. Use Water attacks for all of Harland's team, but don't use them when he brings out his Shadow Pokémon, Entei. Inflict Entei with a Sleep condition to prevent its shadow attacks and use attacks other than Water, Rock, and Ground-type ones to Snag it.
Magma Admin Harland(M): L55 Camerupt, L54 Mightyena, L53 Blaziken, L52 Armaldo, L50 Entei/L51 Arcanine
Entei's Shadow Moves: Shadow Fire, Shadow Break, Shadow Shed, Shadow Sky
The music played against all Team Magma/Aqua/Flora/Plasma/Rocket Grunts and Admins that aren't in knockout challenges is the music played when battling a traditional Cipher Peon.
TEAM AQUA: Location, ONBS Station
After ridding Team Magma from Mt. Battle, you'll get another E-mail from Nett (titled "Another Team!") telling you that red face paint Cail knows some information about another group somewhere in Pyrite Town. The e-mail has several spelling and grammar errors, as if Nett was in a big hurry to type it and had no time to spellcheck. Go to Pyrite Town and battle Cail to learn that Team Aqua has taken up residence in the ONBS Station. (Probably explains why Nett's e-mail had all those errors on it. No, Burninating_Torchic, the errors are nothing along the lines of "Absol is now Sleeping.") Head over there and upon heading inside, you'll notice that Team Aqua Grunts are littered all over the station. Here are each Grunt's Pokémon that you fight as you make your way through the ONBS Station:
Team Aqua Grunt(F): L43 Poliwhirl, L44 Smoochum, L45 Kingler, L46 Carvanha
Team Aqua Grunt(M): L44 Seaking, L45 Corphish, L46 Croconaw, L47 Delibird
Team Aqua Grunt(F): L45 Masquerain, L46 Cloyster, L47 Mightyena, L48 Corsola
Team Aqua Grunt(M): L46 Sealeo, L47 Qwilfish, L48 Luvdisc, L49 Sneasel
Team Aqua Grunt(F): L47 Machoke, L48 Tentacruel, L49 Piloswine, L50 Huntail
Team Aqua Grunt(M): L48 Golbat, L49 Octillery, L50 Gorebyss, L51 Starmie
Team Aqua Grunt(F): L49 Mantine, L50 Mawile, L51 Mr. Mime, L52 Milotic
Team Aqua Grunt(M): L50 Relicanth, L51 Whiscash, L52 Pelipper, L53 Lapras
Team Aqua Grunt(F): L51 Crawdaunt, L52 Golduck, L53 Blastoise, L54 Wailord
When you head out to the roof of the ONBS Station, you'll find a Team Aqua Admin, Isabel. You then will have to fight her. Her Ludicolo will use Rain Dance to power up her team's Water attacks and her Dragonair will use Dragonbreath and Thunder Wave to Paralyze your team. Use Grass and Electric Pokémon to make quick work of the Water-types and an Ice-type for Dragonair. When Isabel sends out Suicune, her Shadow Pokémon, put a Sleep condition on it and slowly cut down its HP before Snagging it. Here's Isabel's team:
Aqua Admin Isabel(F): L55 Sharpedo, L54 Ludicolo, L53 Dragonair, L52 Dewgong, L50 Suicune/L51 Quagsire
Suicune's Shadow Moves: Shadow Chill, Shadow Crush, Shadow Rave, Shadow Mist
TEAM FLORA: Location, Team Snagem Hideout
After ousting Team Aqua from the ONBS Station, you'll get an E-mail from Secc simply titled "Team Flora???" Go and talk to him in the ONBS Station and he'll inform you of a suspicious team found back at the Snagem Hideout. Head to the Hideout and head inside. As you make your way through the same route that leads to Gonzap, you'll notice that none of the usual Trainers or Team Snagem members are there. Instead, Team Flora Grunts litter the area. Also, at certain points along the route, a Team Flora Grunt (the first one on the list) will drop down. Note that it's the same one each time. Here are each Grunt's Pokémon that you fight as you make your way through the Team Snagem Hideout:
Team Flora Grunt(F): L43 Weepinbell, L44 Ninjask, L45 Yanma, L46 Cacnea
Team Flora Grunt(M): L44 Nuzleaf, L45 Exeggcute, L46 Gulpin, L47 Chansey
Team Flora Grunt(F): L45 Gloom, L46 Shuckle, L47 Kirlia, L48 Breloom
Team Flora Grunt(M): L46 Grovyle, L47 Scyther, L48 Venomoth, L49 Pinsir
Team Flora Grunt(F): L47 Golbat, L48 Roselia, L49 Arbok, L50 Nidoqueen
Team Flora Grunt(M): L48 Sunflora, L49 Heracross, L50 Nidoking, L51 Altaria
Team Flora Grunt(F): L49 Parasect, L50 Jumpluff, L51 Mightyena, L52 Metang
Team Flora Grunt(M): L50 Tropius, L51 Linoone, L52 Wobbuffet, L53 Meganium
Team Flora Grunt(F): L51 Gligar, L52 Victreebel, L53 Murkrow, L54 Shiftry
When you reach the place where you fought Gonzap, you'll find a Team Flora Admin by the name of Xenia. She'll boast about a large Snag Machine that was here five years ago and desires a want for it so that Team Flora can Snag dozens of Grass Pokémon from other Trainers, then she'll fight you. Her Gardevoir's Psychic attack can really hurt your team and her Vileplume will use Aerial Ace and Sludge Bomb to deal accurate and strong Flying and Poison damage. Fire Pokémon will make quick work of her Pokémon except for Sudowoodo, her Shadow Pokémon. Put a Sleep condition on the Imitation Pokémon and use physical attacks to Snag it. Here's Xenia's team:
Flora Admin Xenia(F): L55 Cacturne, L54 Gardevoir, L53 Vileplume, L52 Skarmory, L50 Sudowoodo/L51 Cradily
Sudowoodo's Shadow Attacks: Shadow Half, Shadow Hold, Shadow End (1 Normal Attack)
TEAM PLASMA: Location, Shadow Pokémon Lab
After Team Flora leaves the Team Snagem Hideout, you'll get an E-mail from Marcia (titled "Trouble at Lab!") telling you that Kilen, the Bodybuilder at Gateon Port, knows something about another team found near the Shadow Pokémon Lab. Head for Gateon and battle Kilen to learn that a group known as Team Plasma is at the Shadow Pokémon Lab. Head over there and upon heading inside, you'll notice that this time, Team Plasma Grunts drop down from above instead of Cipher Peons. They are found in the same locations that the Peons were your previous trek through the Lab. Here are each Grunt's Pokémon that you fight as you make your way through the Shadow Pokémon Lab:
Team Plasma Grunt(M): L43 Voltorb, L44 Meditite, L45 Natu, L46 Electrike
Team Plasma Grunt(F): L44 Spoink, L45 Magnemite, L46 Pikachu, L47 Pidgeotto
Team Plasma Grunt(M): L45 Elekid, L46 Flaaffy, L47 Porygon, L48 Loudred
Team Plasma Grunt(F): L46 Flaaffy, L47 Kadabra, L48 Raichu, L49 Golbat
Team Plasma Grunt(M): L47 Plusle, L48 Volbeat, L49 Granbull, L50 Haunter
Team Plasma Grunt(F): L48 Minun, L49 Illumise, L50 Dugtrio, L51 Aipom
Team Plasma Grunt(M): L49 Nosepass, L50 Mightyena, L51 Grumpig, L52 Magneton
Team Plasma Grunt(F): L50 Electrode, L51 Misdreavus, L52 Lanturn, L53 Pidegot
Team Plasma Grunt(M): L51 Magneton, L52 Medicham, L53 Ampharos, L54 Porygon2
As you make your way thugh the Lab, you'll eventually end up in the room where Wes fought Ein five years ago to find a Team Plasma Admin, Jack. You'll hear Jack saying he's looking for data on how to make more Shadow Pokémon so that Team Plasma will become unstoppable. He'll the notice you and recognize you. You then have to battle him. Use Ground-types to take on his Electric-types and an Electric attack of your own for Xatu. However, beware of Exploud's high damaging Hyper Voice attack and a Protect/Explosion combo used with Xatu and Electrode. When Jack sends out his Shadow Pokémon, Raikou, put it to Sleep and use attacks other than Ground-type ones so Snag it. Here's Jack's team:
Plasma Admin Jack(M): L55 Manectric, L54 Exploud, L53 Electrode, L52 Xatu, L50 Raikou/L51 Raichu
Raikou's Shadow Attacks: Shadow Bolt, Shadow Storm, Shadow Panic, Shadow Blitz
Once all four teams have been defeated, you'll get one more E-mail from Nett entitled "URGENT NEWS!!!" Head back to ONBS and talk to him. He'll tell you some terrible news. The news is that Team Rocket has taken over Citadark Island. You have to head back there and stop whatever plans they have.
GATEON PORT
As it turns out, each of the leaders of the other four teams are at Gateon Port, where you're supposed to set sail to Citadark Island on Robo Kyogre. Maxie (Team Magma), Archie (Team Aqua), Farlie (Team Flora), and Plasmae (Team Plasma) are each somewhere at Gateon Port. There's some bad news, though: Each of them have stolen a part from Robo Kyogre so you can't sail to Citadark! You have to fight each of them and obtain one of Robo Kyogre's parts. It won't be easy though, so I'll give you a little strategy for each of them.
Magma Leader Maxie(M): L60 Camerupt, L58 Mightyena, L58 Crobat, L58 Houndoom, L58 Arcanine, L45 Flygon/L58 Rapidash; Win the Kyogre Engine
Flygon Shadow Attacks: Shadow Storm, Shadow Crush, Shadow Sky (1 Normal Attack)
When facing Maxie, Archie, Farlie, or Plasmae, the music that plays is the traditional boss theme.
Maxie uses Sunny Day to up the power of his Pokémon's Fire-type attacks. Not only that, but two of his Pokémon (Houndoom and Rapidash) know Solarbeam, which takes only 1 turn to use in sunlight. You can counter all this with Rain Dance, however. Use Water and Ground attacks for Maxie's Pokémon before they burn up much of your team with their attacks. Use a Sleep condition on Flygon and Snag it.
Aqua Leader Archie(M): L60 Sharpedo, L58 Mightyena, L58 Crobat, L58 Octillery, L58 Mantine, L45 Jynx/L58 Poliwrath; Win the Kyogre Navigation
Jynx Shadow Attacks: Shadow Shed, Shadow Storm (2 Normal Attacks)
Archie uses Rain Dance to increase his Water Pokémon's power. However, you can use an Electric Pokémon that knows Thunder to take care of them. Grass Pokémon can also do the job. But be careful with Electric Pokémon since two of Archie's Pokémon (Sharpedo and Poliwrath) know Earthquake. However, a Thunder attack from a good Eletric-type should K.O. them in one hit. Use a Sleep condition on Jynx and Snag it.
Flora Leader Farlie(M): L60 Cacturne, L58 Mightyena, L58 Crobat, L58 Tangela, L58 Jumpluff, L45 Sunflora/L58 Victreebel; Win the Kyogre Ignition
Sunflora Shadow Attacks: Shadow Rave, Shadow Down (2 Normal Attacks)
Farlie has a sinister plan in store for you. His Pokémon will use the Toxic/Protect along with such moves as Spikes (Cacturne), Confuse Ray (Crobat), Mean Look (Crobat), and Bind (Tangela). Use Fire-type attacks to dispatch each of Farlie's Pokémon before that have a chance to do any of that to you. Bring healing items with you just in case the Poison damage starts to get to you. Use a Sleep condition on Sunflora and Snag it.
Plasma Leader Plasmae(F): L60 Manectric, L58 Mightyena, L58 Crobat, L58 Xatu, L58 Electabuzz , L45 Skarmory/L58 Raichu; Win the Kyogre Exhaust
Skarmory Shadow Attacks: Shadow Crush, Shadow Rave, Shadow Mist (1 Normal Attack)
Plasme's starategy is pure havoc. She'll have her Pokémon use Thunder Wave to Paralyze your team and then use attacks like Confuse Ray (Crobat and Xatu), Attract (Raichu), Double Team (Electabuzz), and Mean Look (Crobat), to make sure you never get the chance to attack. Ground-types however are immune to Thunder Wave and can take out Plasmae's team quickly. Use them. Use a Sleep condition on the Skarmory and Snag it.
CITADARK ISLAND
Once you've obtained the stolen parts to the Robo Kyogre, talk to Roose and he'll get to work on fixing Robo Kyogre. Head for anywhere else on the map, then return to Gateon and Robo Kyogre is fixed. You can now sail to Citadark Island. On the island, instead of the usual Trainers, you'll find many Team Rocket Grunts all over the place. Fifteen of them are standing on the path to Greevil's chamber, while two will drop from the ceiling at preset spots. Each Rocket uses a specific Pokémon type and thus will make this very difficult. If your team needs it, you can head to a Healing Station and heal your Pokémon as many times as you wish. Here are each Grunt's Pokémon along with an indication of that Grunt's type:
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Water: L52 Lombre, L53 Pelipper, L54 Cloyster, L55 Swampert
Team Rocket Grunt(F) Grass: L52 Roselia, L53 Cacturne, L54 Jumpluff, L55 Exeggutor
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Electric: L52 Magneton, L53 Electabuzz, L54 Lanturn, L55 Ampharos
Team Rocket Grunt(F) Fire: L52 Magcargo, L53 Torkoal, L54 Houndoom, L55 Typhlosion
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Fighting: L52 Machoke, L53 Medicham, L54 Breloom, L55 Poliwrath
Team Rocket Grunt(F) Poison: L52 Qwilfish, L53 Arbok, L54 Swalot, L55 Venusaur
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Flying: L52 Swellow, L53 Beautifly, L54 Tropius, L55 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(F) Ice: L52 Delibird, L53 Glalie, L54 Piloswine, L55 Walrein
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Bug: L53 Volbeat, L53 Illumise, L54 Ninjask, L54 Parasect
Team Rocket Grunt(F) Ground: L52 Marowak, L53 Whiscash, L54 Claydol, L55 Camerupt
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Steel: L52 Lairon, L53 Forretress, L54 Mawile, L55 Steelix
Team Rocket Grunt(F) Psychic: L52 Metang, L53 Jynx, L54 Xatu, L55 Gardevoir
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Rock: L52 Nosepass, L53 Pupitar, L54 Cradily, L55 Golem
Team Rocket Grunt(F) Dark: L52 Nuzleaf, L53 Mightyena, L54 Sneasel, L55 Sharpedo
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Normal: L52 Zangoose, L53 Delcatty, L54 Linoone, L55 Exploud
Team Rocket Grunt(F) Ghost: L52 Misdreavus, L53 Dusclops, L54 Sableye, L55 Gengar
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Dragon: L52 Altaria, L53 Dragonair, L54 Shelgon, L55 Flygon
GREEVIL'S CHAMBER
Once you have defeated all the Rockets, you can enter Greevil's chamber. Heal your Pokémon and save your progress before entering. When you enter, you'll have to fight some "elite" Team Rocket agents before you can take on Giovanni himself. If you make it through the first four groups, your team will be recharged for Giovanni and another elite agent of his. If you lose to any of them, you have to start over from Jessie & James. Here are each Rocket's team along with a mini-strategy for each of them:
Rocket Admins Jessie&James(F/M): L60 Seviper, L60 Wobbuffet, L60 Dustox, L60 Chimecho, L60 Cacturne, L50 Sneasel/L60 Meowth
Sneasel's Shadow Attacks: Shadow Blitz, Shadow Wave, Shadow Sky (1 Normal Attack)
The music when facing Jessie & James is the same as the music played in the first round of a knockout challenge.
Out favorite Team Rocket duo (along with Meowth) tends to use Poison- and Psychic-type Pokémon. Psychic-types can take care of the former, and Dark-types can take care of the latter. But Cacturne is there to counter Psychic Pokémon. Use a Fire attack on Cacturne (also good against Dustox), but Wobbuffet could be their trickiest Pokémon of all. Be careful of its Counter, Mirror Coat, and Destiny Bond attacks. Put a Sleep condition on the Sneasel and Snag it.
Rocket Admins Butch&Cassidy(M/F): L60 Raticate, L60 Primeape, L60 Houndoom, L60 Hitmontop, L60 Mightyena, L50 Stantler/L60 Armaldo
Stantler's Shadow Attacks: Shadow Panic, Shadow Shed, Shadow Mist (1 Normal Attack)
The music when facing Butch and Cassidy is the same as the music played in the second round of a knockout challenge.
Butch & Cassidy are even harder than Jessie & James. Psychic and Flying Pokémon should take care of Primeape and Hitmontop and Fighting and Bug Pokémon should be used against Houndoom and Mightyena. Be careful of such combos like Hitmontop's Flying-type blow/Counter and Houndoom's Overheat/White Herb. If you follow these rules, you'll be able to topple this duo. Put a Sleep condition on the Stantler and Snag it.
Rocket Admins Annie&Oakley(F/F): L60 Ariados, L60 Espeon, L60 Azumarill, L60 Sunflora, L60 Camerupt, L50 Murkrow/L60 Altaria
Murkrow's Shadow Attacks: Shadow Crush, Shadow Sky, Shadow Down (1 Normal Attack)
The music when facing Annie & Oakley is the same as the music played in the semifinal round of a knockout challenge.
Annie & Oakley (from Pokémon Heroes) use a very diverse team. None of their Pokémon seem to share a weakness. Not only that, but they use a slew of attacks such as Sludge Bomb (Ariados), Psychic (Espeon), Faint Attack and Razor Leaf (Sunflora), Surf and Ice Beam (Azumarill), Flamethrower and Earthquake (Camerupt), and Dragonbreath (Altaria, once you've snagged Murkrow). Fire attacks can take out Ariados and Sunflora and a Water Pokémon with both a Water and Ice attack can make quick work of Camerupt and Altaria (once you've snagged Murkrow). Use Dark and Electric-type attacks for Espeon and Azumarill. Murkrow may have Insomnia, so put a Paralyze or Freeze condition on the Murkrow and Snag it.
Rocket Admin Tyson(M): L60 Fearow, L60 Fearow, L60 Meganium, L60 Arcanine, L60 Manectric, L50 Absol/L60 Crawdaunt
Absol's Shadow Attacks: Shadow Half, Shadow Hold, Shadow End (1 Normal Attack)
The music when facing Tyson is the same as the music played in the final round of a knockout challenge.
Tyson can be very tough. Both of his Fearow know Hyper Beam and Drill Peck. He'll usually pair one of them with Manectric (who has the Lightningrod ability) to draw Electric attacks from the Flying-types (also from Crawdaunt). Instead, either use Ice-type attacks for the Flying-types or take out Manectric with a Ground attack to remove Fearow's protection. Use Fire for Meganium, Water for Torkoal, and Grass or Electric for Crawdaunt (once you've Snagged Absol). It's easier said than done, since Meganium knows Earthquake and Rock Slide and Crawdaunt knows Dig and Guillotine. You'll need to use good strategy to take out Tyson. Put a Sleep condition on Absol and Snag it.
Rocket Renegade I.M.M.(M): L60 Sneasel, L60 Scizor, L60 Milotic, L60 Shiftry, L60 Blaziken, L50 Pupitar/L60 Tyranitar
Pupitar's Shadow Attacks: Shadow Crush (3 Normal Attacks)
There is no music when facing Iron Masked Marauder.
I.M.M. will usually start with Sneasel and Scizor, both of which can be dealt with Fire attacks. The same type of attack can be used against Shiftry. For Milotic, use a powerful Electric-type to take it out quickly (it knows Recover) and drench Blaziken with a Water attack. When I.M.M. sends out Tyranitar (once you've Snagged Pupitar), watch out for its strong attacks, including Crunch, Earthquake, Rock Slide, and Thunderbolt, plus its Sand Stream ability. Put a Sleep condition on Pupitar and Snag it.
Rocket Leader Giovanni(M): L65 Persian, L65 Cloyster, L65 Cradily, L65 Machamp, L65 Flygon, L55 Metagross/L65 Metagross
Metagross's Shadow Attacks: Shadow Storm, Shadow Break, Shadow Sky, Shadow Mist
The music when facing Giovanni in this battle is Greevil's theme.
Once I.M.M. falls, you'll see Giovanni head into the chamber. He'll reveal his plan about resurrecting Cipher's Shadow Pokémon scheme and creating an army of Shadow Pokémon for Team Rocket to take over the world with. You'll then have to face Giovanni, who will try to stop you with his superpowers. Persian will use Roar to keep switching out your Pokémon. Cloyster will use Light Screen to cut Special Attack damage in half and quickly K.O. your Pokémon with Sheer Cold. Cradily will use Recover and Mirror Coat to make things even worse for you. Machamp will use Cross Shop and Rock Slide to deal heavy damage. Flygon will use Earthquake and Dragon Claw for some same-type damage. And the second Metagross (once you've snagged the first Metagross) is Giovanni's toughest Pokémon of all, equipped with Meteor Mash, Earthquake, Brick Break, and Hyper Beam. Just use what you got to deal with all of his Pokémon. Put a Sleep condition on the first Metagross and Snag it.
Once Giovanni falls, you'll see a scene where Professor Oak, Professor Elm, Professor Birch, and Professor Ivy come into the chamber, along with Chief Sherles and Duking. They'll tell Giovanni that his plans are finished. Giovanni will then boast that even though his current plans are over, he's not finished. You'll then see his helicopter come down near a window of the chamber and he'll be hoisted onto it, making a getaway. (If this is the first time you've beaten Giovanni in this way, he'll drop a parcel before making the getaway.) Oak will then tell you that you did great stopping Giovanni's scheme as well as the schems of Team Magma, Aqua, Flora, and Plasma. Elm will then congratulate you on your progress. Birch will mention that he hopes no one else will ever do such a thing as creating Shadow Pokémon. Ivy will then tell you that you deserve something special for your work. Then the credits roll like they do after defeating Nascour and Evice. However, the Pokémon that appear on the screen during the credits this time are those of R/B/Y origin (like Ivysaur, Charmelon, and Wartortle), ending with Mew.
After you're asked to save your game, you'll get an e-mail from Justy (the Pre-Gym Leader in Phenac City) telling you that the Professors left you a special gift to take. Head to Phenac's Pre-Gym and Justy will present you with a choice of three out of nine Pokémon each at L5, a Bulbasaur, a Charmander, a Squirtle, a Chikorita (w/Flamethrower), a Cyndaquil (w/Surf), a Totodile (w/Thunderbolt), a Treecko, a Torchic, and a Mudkip. You can choose Bulbasaur, Chikorita, and Treecko, Charmander, Cyndaquil, and Torchic, or Squirtle, Totodile, and Mudkip. An addition to getting a Hoenn starter from the mission, that Hoenn starter can learn a move previously reserved to only Kanto starters! (The routine is the same as for the Kanto starters.) Evolving the Treecko to Sceptile will allow it to learn Frenzy Plant, which was previously exclusive to Venusaur. Same goes for Torchic evolving to Blaziken and learning the previously Charizard-exclusive Blast Burn and Mudkip evolving to Swampert and learning the previously Blastoise-exclusive Hydro Cannon. After choosing, you can go through this mission again and then chose three of the others afterwards. If Giovanni dropped a parcel, you'll get the parcel's contents, which happens to be a new PC Box. (The number is 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13, depending on how many boxes there were before you got this one.)
Part 2: Phenac Missions
If you transmit the password on Steal Crystal along with the password(s) used to download one of Colosseum's Phenac Missions, you can do that Phenac Mission in XD: Gale of Darkness. In each mission, 10 of that team's underlings litter the streets of Phenac (except in the Snagem mission, where two of their grunts go to Realgam Tower instead). The three Phenac missions are from Team Snagem (Snagem Breaks In, Cipher/Snagem Threat or Cipher/Snagem Crisis), Team Cipher (Cipher Energy II-A, Cipher/Snagem Threat or Colosseum Set), and Team Rocket (Secret Cards, Cipher/Snagem Crisis). Each person in each of the missions has one Shadow Pokémon that has Shadow Crush as its only shadow attack. Each Phenac mission may be done only once. Here are the rundowns of the three different missions:
Snagem Mission:
Team Snagem Dcuol(M): Blocking the path to Phenac Stadium; L60 Smeargle, L30 Misdreavus
Team Snagem Siihctta(M): Challenge him at Phenac Stadium; L60 Smeargle, L30 Noctowl
Team Snagem Rrtabe(M): In plain sight outside Pre Gym; L60 Smeargle, L33 Furret
Team Snagem Idc(M): An impostor Trest outside a civilian's home, talk to him and choose "Trainers' City" when prompted to battle him; L60 Smeargle, L33 Yanma
Team Snagem Uiefyf(M): Is technically cheating, he's in the Battle CD lobby at Realgam Tower; L60 Smeargle, L33 Octillery
Team Snagem Hthipsroe(M): Is technically cheating, he's in the Battle Bingo lobby at Realgam Tower; L60 Smeargle, L33 Mantine
Team Snagem Sraie(M): An impostor Lovrina outside the mayor's house; talk to him and choose "Snattle" when prompted to battle him; L60 Smeargle, L33 Qwilfish
Team Snagem Ftai(M): Hides in Phenac Stadium lobby; L60 Smeargle, L33 Meditite
Team Snagem Idxieri(M): An impostor Ardos outside the Pokémon Center; talk to him and choose "Exol" when prompted to battle him; L60 Smeargle, L33 Dunsparce

Yes, this is another scramble puzzle. Each one corresponds to a certain Final Fantasy VII character. PM me if you can decode them.
Also, these names and locations are exclusive to the XD version of the mission. The Colosseum version uses random names and locations.

Just for the record, each of the dialogue of the Snagem grunts pretending to be others is as follows:
Idc: "Where was the Cipher headquarters 5 years ago? [Trainers' City/Realgam Tower]"
Choose Realgam Tower: "Thanks for refreshing my memory. I owe you one next time."
Choose Trainers' City: "I don't think so! Let's battle!" [begin battle]
Sraie: "Of SNATTLE or GORIGAN, which one is not my direct higher-up? [Gorigan/Snattle]"
Choose Gorigan: "Correct. You may continue on."
Choose Snattle: "Sorry. SNATTLE is my direct higher-up. For that incorrect answer, you owe me a battle!" [begin battle]
Idxieri: "Can you recall who led a raid on ONBS? [Exol/Mirakle B.]"
Choose Mirakle B.: "You can't? No reason to battle a dumb kid!
Choose Exol: "You know too much! You know I can't let you live!" [begin battle]
Ennvcit: "Who is the [OOPS!] fool that sent EVICE to prison? [Eagun/Wes]"
The censored word begins with D.
Choose Eagun: "That old fart with the PIKACHU? He couldn't even throw EVICE one inch!"
Choose Wes: "Curse that WES! MEWTWO, take this smartypants out!" [begin battle]
Part 3: Other Classic Data
The Steal Crystal card can also be paired with many other Colosseum missions and their passwords.
Pair Steal Crystal with Cipher Breaks In from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Cipher/Snagem Crisis to download the Eight Team Challenge (the Cipher/Snagem Threat version for both cards) to XD: Gale of Darkness. The challenge will occur at the Orre Colosseum, with the same rules as it has normally (so you can ignore the levels and random Pokémon limits listed in the link). Nobody is kidnapped this time around, but the event is still activated by watching TV. There are minor differences in the battles; Maxie now adds a Rapidash, Archie now adds a Poliwrath, Farlie now adds a Victreebel, Plasmae now adds a Raichu, Giovanni now adds a Metagross, and Gonzap brings his XD Orre Colosseum team to the challenge. The last five battles (one in challenge 7, the other four in challenge 8) are completely different than Colosseum's. Greevil replaces Evice, and the entire eighth challenge is replaced by a different set of four. Greevil uses his Citadark Island team. The Deep Dwellers from Colosseum are replaced by generic Chasers, and Chobin and his Robo Groudon will take Agnol's place and bring his Orre Colosseum team to the challenge.
This post contains several Cipher/Snagem Threat missions.
For Cipher/Snagem Breaks In's data, simply transmit the A version of the matching Breaks In card from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Cipher/Snagem Crisis to the Tajiri server, followed by the followed by the universal confirmation password "C4F-4M0-Vxx", where xx denotes a two-letter version identifier; in this case XD for Gale of Darkness is the version talked about here. There are several trainers changed in the XD: Gale of Darkness version of the data. Chobin replaces Agnol, Eldes replaces Nascour, Greevil replaces Evice, and Gonzap brings a different team. (Ardos will appear in the Cipher Breaks In mission, but he won't battle.) Here are their teams:
Chobin's Team: L53 Sunflora, L53 Gyarados, L53 Scizor
Gonzap's Team: L53 Venusaur, L53 Charizard, L53 Blastoise
Eldes's Team: L53 Gengar, L53 Snorlax, L53 Tauros
Greevil's Team: L53 Manectric, L53 Starmie, L53 Altaria
Also, you can use this set of teams in a GBA game by pairing up Steal Crystal with the passwords, and using RU (Ruby), SA (Sapphire), FR (FireRed), LG (LeafGreen), or EM (Emerald) as the version identifier. Sorry, there's no way to use the Colosseum teams in XD or the XD teams in Colosseum.
For the Schemer Mission, simply transmit the A version of the the Team Cipher Schemer and Team Snagem Schemer cards from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Cipher/Snagem Crisis to the Tajiri server, followed by the followed by the universal confirmation password "C4F-4M0-Vxx", where xx denotes a two-letter version identifier; in this case XD for Gale of Darkness is the version talked about here. The matching grunts will appear on the front lawn of Mt. Battle in XD: Gale of Darkness. There are no changes to the data.
The Peon/Grunt Mission is based on the Cipher/Snagem Crisis version of the data. Simply transmit the A version of the the Team Cipher Peon and Team Snagem Grunt cards from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Cipher/Snagem Crisis to the Tajiri server, followed by the followed by the universal confirmation password "C4F-4M0-Vxx", where xx denotes a two-letter version identifier; in this case XD for Gale of Darkness is the version talked about here. There are two changes. In XD: Gale of Darkness, Team Rocket will put their grunts at the Cipher Key Lair since you cannot access The Under in the game; and Greevil will approach for Team Cipher instead of Evice. Nothing else is changed. This is the fully expanded version.
The Move Machine will move to any Poké Spot in XD: Gale of Darkness. To access it, simply transmit the A version of the the Team Cipher Peon and Team Snagem Grunt cards from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Cipher/Snagem Crisis to the Tajiri server, followed by the followed by the universal confirmation password "C4F-4M0-Vxx", where xx denotes a two-letter version identifier; in this case XD for Gale of Darkness is the version talked about here. There is one change to the Move Machine in XD. Instead of Evice, Greevil's face will appear for Cipher.
Breaks-In Retro uses a team other than Cipher and Snagem. Transmit the passwords on the B version of Cipher's Realgam Tower and Snagem's Hoard House from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Cipher/Snagem Crisis along with Steal Crystal and the password of the Breaks In card of the matching team to the Tajiri server. There is a change in Team Rocket's version of the mission: The place they hold up is the HQ Lab in XD: Gale of Darkness instead of the Realgam Tower Dome Complex.
The Mt. Battle Invasion is the Orre counterpart to the Elite Four mission. In XD: Gale of Darkness, you'll be playing with a fully expanded mission with the Cipher/Snagem Crisis version of the data. There are some differences. First off, the admins in Area 4 are Ardos and Eldes rather than Venus and Ein; and Greevil will appear on platform 40. Ardos and Eldes use their Orre Colosseum team at level 53, while Greevil will use his Citadark Island team at level 53. Also, you can use this set of teams in a GBA game by pairing up Steal Crystal with the passwords, and using RU (Ruby), SA (Sapphire), FR (FireRed), LG (LeafGreen), or EM (Emerald) as the version identifier, where Ardos and Eldes pair up and use the first 3 of their respective lineups, and Greevil will be in the induction room. Sorry, there's no way to use the Colosseum teams in XD or the XD teams in Colosseum.
The Orre Impostor Mission can be transmitted to XD: Gale of Darkness by using Steal Crystal as well as the following cards from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Cipher/Snagem Crisis: Team Cipher Ball, Team Snagem Ball, Team Cipher Belt, Team Snagem Belt, Team Cipher Hideout, Team Snagem Hideout, Cipher Energy (II), Snagem Energy (II), Team Cipher Technical Machine 01, and Team Snagem Technical Machine 01, both I-B Energy cards. Impostors will pose as Michael and Willie, but this time, the impostor posing as Michael will be a generic impostor, unlike the one posing as Wes in Colosseum (which was Fein, who's not seen in XD: Gale of Darkness). There are slight changes to the broadcasts to remove references to a former Team Snagem member. The teams remain the same. The special knockout challenge remains intact, except it's moved to the Realgam Tower Colosseum.
The Pre Gym Challenges are transmitted by pairing Steal Crystal along with every Pokémon-ex B version from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Pokémon Colosseum Set. They work the same as they do in Colosseum with no differences.
The Orre Slot Machine is transmitted by pairing the Steal Crystal along with all of the secret cards from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Pokémon Colosseum Set. If using the latter, you must also use Duking's Plusle from Cipher/Snagem Threat (not the Missed Opportunities one, that has a different password), since you can't download it unless it's the bugfixed Threat version. There are some changes. First off, there's a new receptionist in one of the Realgam Tower domes that will show you to the slot machine. Secondly, the prize for Triple 7s and Triple Bars are different; the former is now the one that yields the 1,000,000 cash, while the latter wields 10 copies of TM26. Also, three of the symbols are different in XD: Gale of Darkness. What was Espeon in Colosseum is now Shadow Lugia; what was Umbreon in Colosseum is now Metagross; what was Skarmory in Colosseum is now Eevee.
There is one other mission in this section. Scott's Colosseum Mission from Colosseum is back in XD: Gale of Darkness. (This piece of data is a normal-difficulty version; a harder-difficulty version of the challenge will be unlockable in the piece of data starting in post 117.) The Frontier Brains go to Orre Colosseum in XD: Gale of Darkness, where they'll battle in a tournament similar to the Eight-Team Challenge. Everyone battles according to the rules of Orre Colosseum, which means that everyone has some new Pokémon. The new Pokémon for Noland when he chooses one of these teams will be explained in the post that has the Trainers' City-required classic missions. The new Pokémon for Noland when he chooses an Eight-Team Challenge team is explained in the XD: Gale of Darkness version of the Eight Team Challenge above. Noland can also choose a random Orre Colosseum team from the Cipher Admins in XD: Gale of Darkness. Here are the other new Pokémon for the others:
Herdes: Houndoom, Ninetales, Blaziken, Magmar
Cyrille: Ampharos, Lanturn, Raichu
Draissel: Victreebel, Bellossom
Juan: Lapras
Dartz: Heracross, Girafarig, Hariyama, Zangoose (Machoke evolves to Machamp)

Greta: Dodrio
Ike: 4 additional Bug-types at random
Larry: 3 additional Steel-types at random
Leon: 2 additional Pokémon at random knowing Paralysis moves
Noland: Depends on the team; if a Gym Leader team, see post below; if an Eight-Team Challenge team, see XD changes above; if a Cipher Admin team, no changes
Beluah: Shiftry, Hitmonlee, Pelipper, Hitmontop (Lombre evolves to Ludicolo)
Crecitia: Nidoqueen, Poliwrath, Shedinja
Rodney: Absol, Pidgeot

Anabel: Entei, Raikou, Latios (loses Ninetales and Altaria)
Data that involves Trainers' City is in the next post.
Part 1: Outside Team Missions (Colosseum Versions: Magma Aqua Flora Plasma Ending)
Mission originally created by Sunflorazumarill. Modified by myself for XD: Gale of Darkness.
Transmit the passwords on all seven Weather Cubes to the Tajiri server. This will transmit an XD: Gale of Darkness version of the first-ever transmittable Colosseum mission into XD: Gale of Darkness, with some differences.
This piece of data is an XD: Gale of Darkness version of a Colosseum mission that involves five additional evil teams. To do this piece of data in XD: Gale of Darkness, you must have beaten Greevil at least once. When you first continue your progress, you'll get an E-mail from Nett titled "Magma?!". In it, it tells you Nett has something important to tell you. Also included in the e-mail is your quick password, which allows you to download the mission from the Tajiri server with just one password. After getting this E-mail, if you go up to any TV, you'll hear a news report about other organizations in Orre. The broadcast goes like this: "We have breaking news! It turns out that the organization mentioned earlier with a plot for world domination has been stopped, but there are rumors of 5 other organizations operating all around Orre. We will tell you more of this story as we find out more!" As it turns out, Team Magma, Team Aqua, Team Flora, and Team Plasma have come to Orre and are wreaking havoc there. You'll have to fight each of them. Here is where each Team is:
Magma: Mt. Battle (Area 1)
Aqua: Pyrite Town (ONBS Station)
Flora: Team Snagem Hideout
Plasma: Shadow Pokémon Lab
The battles with the team Grunts are still 2-on-2 (like all the trainer battles in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness after snagging the shadow Teddiursa). Each group is lead by a corresponding team's Admin, who has a Shadow Pokémon (indicated in red). (These additional Shadow Pokémon along with others accessed through other DS-transmittable data will contribute to a fourth battle with Miror B. (that doesn't involve someone else's Shadow Pokémon).) You can do this mission again once it's completed by transmitting the passwords again. If you do and you've already Snagged a Shadow Pokémon from an Admin, he or she will instead have a different regular Pokémon (indicated in green). Anyway, here is more information on each team:
TEAM MAGMA: Location, Mt. Battle
Anyway, head to the ONBS Station and talk to Nett. He'll tell you that a team known as Magma is at Mt. Battle. Immediately head there and you'll learn that Team Magma has taken Area 1 over. (Any Mt. Battle progress you have will be halted until Team Magma leaves.) The woman will let you go to Area 1. When you head into Area 1, you'll notice that instead of the usual Mt. Battle Trainers on each platform, each platform instead has a Team Magma Grunt. You'll have to fight each of them to reach the end of Area 1. Here are each Grunt's Pokémon that you fight as you make your way up Mt. Battle:
Team Magma Grunt(M): L43 Baltoy, L44 Ponyta, L45 Makuhita, L46 Numel
Team Magma Grunt(F): L44 Houndour, L45 Rhyhorn, L46 Growlithe, L47 Sableye
Team Magma Grunt(M): L45 Vulpix, L46 Lairon, L47 Magby, L48 Sandslash
Team Magma Grunt(F): L46 Charmeleon, L47 Donphan, L48 Magcargo, L49 Stantler
Team Magma Grunt(M): L47 Golbat, L48 Torkoal, L49 Onix, L50 Houndoom
Team Magma Grunt(F): L48 Vibrava, L49 Togetic, L50 Magcargo, L51 Hypno
Team Magma Grunt(M): L49 Swellow, L50 Ninetales, L51 Miltank, L52 Pupitar
Team Magma Grunt(F): L50 Torkoal, L51 Shelgon, L52 Claydol, L53 Rapidash
Team Magma Grunt(M): L51 Ninetales, L52 Rhydon, L53 Houndoom, L54 Steelix
Once you reach the 10th platform of Mt. Battle, you'll find a Team Magma Admin, Harland, holding Vander (the Area 1 Leader) hostage. You'll then have to fight Harland. He'll have Mightyena use Sunny Day, which will power up his Camerupt's Eruption and his Blaziken's Blaze Kick. His Mightyena also knows Iron Tail and Hyper Beam and his Armaldo will use Ancientpower and Aerial Ace to deal heavy physical damage. Use Water attacks for all of Harland's team, but don't use them when he brings out his Shadow Pokémon, Entei. Inflict Entei with a Sleep condition to prevent its shadow attacks and use attacks other than Water, Rock, and Ground-type ones to Snag it.
Magma Admin Harland(M): L55 Camerupt, L54 Mightyena, L53 Blaziken, L52 Armaldo, L50 Entei/L51 Arcanine
Entei's Shadow Moves: Shadow Fire, Shadow Break, Shadow Shed, Shadow Sky
The music played against all Team Magma/Aqua/Flora/Plasma/Rocket Grunts and Admins that aren't in knockout challenges is the music played when battling a traditional Cipher Peon.
TEAM AQUA: Location, ONBS Station
After ridding Team Magma from Mt. Battle, you'll get another E-mail from Nett (titled "Another Team!") telling you that red face paint Cail knows some information about another group somewhere in Pyrite Town. The e-mail has several spelling and grammar errors, as if Nett was in a big hurry to type it and had no time to spellcheck. Go to Pyrite Town and battle Cail to learn that Team Aqua has taken up residence in the ONBS Station. (Probably explains why Nett's e-mail had all those errors on it. No, Burninating_Torchic, the errors are nothing along the lines of "Absol is now Sleeping.") Head over there and upon heading inside, you'll notice that Team Aqua Grunts are littered all over the station. Here are each Grunt's Pokémon that you fight as you make your way through the ONBS Station:
Team Aqua Grunt(F): L43 Poliwhirl, L44 Smoochum, L45 Kingler, L46 Carvanha
Team Aqua Grunt(M): L44 Seaking, L45 Corphish, L46 Croconaw, L47 Delibird
Team Aqua Grunt(F): L45 Masquerain, L46 Cloyster, L47 Mightyena, L48 Corsola
Team Aqua Grunt(M): L46 Sealeo, L47 Qwilfish, L48 Luvdisc, L49 Sneasel
Team Aqua Grunt(F): L47 Machoke, L48 Tentacruel, L49 Piloswine, L50 Huntail
Team Aqua Grunt(M): L48 Golbat, L49 Octillery, L50 Gorebyss, L51 Starmie
Team Aqua Grunt(F): L49 Mantine, L50 Mawile, L51 Mr. Mime, L52 Milotic
Team Aqua Grunt(M): L50 Relicanth, L51 Whiscash, L52 Pelipper, L53 Lapras
Team Aqua Grunt(F): L51 Crawdaunt, L52 Golduck, L53 Blastoise, L54 Wailord
When you head out to the roof of the ONBS Station, you'll find a Team Aqua Admin, Isabel. You then will have to fight her. Her Ludicolo will use Rain Dance to power up her team's Water attacks and her Dragonair will use Dragonbreath and Thunder Wave to Paralyze your team. Use Grass and Electric Pokémon to make quick work of the Water-types and an Ice-type for Dragonair. When Isabel sends out Suicune, her Shadow Pokémon, put a Sleep condition on it and slowly cut down its HP before Snagging it. Here's Isabel's team:
Aqua Admin Isabel(F): L55 Sharpedo, L54 Ludicolo, L53 Dragonair, L52 Dewgong, L50 Suicune/L51 Quagsire
Suicune's Shadow Moves: Shadow Chill, Shadow Crush, Shadow Rave, Shadow Mist
TEAM FLORA: Location, Team Snagem Hideout
After ousting Team Aqua from the ONBS Station, you'll get an E-mail from Secc simply titled "Team Flora???" Go and talk to him in the ONBS Station and he'll inform you of a suspicious team found back at the Snagem Hideout. Head to the Hideout and head inside. As you make your way through the same route that leads to Gonzap, you'll notice that none of the usual Trainers or Team Snagem members are there. Instead, Team Flora Grunts litter the area. Also, at certain points along the route, a Team Flora Grunt (the first one on the list) will drop down. Note that it's the same one each time. Here are each Grunt's Pokémon that you fight as you make your way through the Team Snagem Hideout:
Team Flora Grunt(F): L43 Weepinbell, L44 Ninjask, L45 Yanma, L46 Cacnea
Team Flora Grunt(M): L44 Nuzleaf, L45 Exeggcute, L46 Gulpin, L47 Chansey
Team Flora Grunt(F): L45 Gloom, L46 Shuckle, L47 Kirlia, L48 Breloom
Team Flora Grunt(M): L46 Grovyle, L47 Scyther, L48 Venomoth, L49 Pinsir
Team Flora Grunt(F): L47 Golbat, L48 Roselia, L49 Arbok, L50 Nidoqueen
Team Flora Grunt(M): L48 Sunflora, L49 Heracross, L50 Nidoking, L51 Altaria
Team Flora Grunt(F): L49 Parasect, L50 Jumpluff, L51 Mightyena, L52 Metang
Team Flora Grunt(M): L50 Tropius, L51 Linoone, L52 Wobbuffet, L53 Meganium
Team Flora Grunt(F): L51 Gligar, L52 Victreebel, L53 Murkrow, L54 Shiftry
When you reach the place where you fought Gonzap, you'll find a Team Flora Admin by the name of Xenia. She'll boast about a large Snag Machine that was here five years ago and desires a want for it so that Team Flora can Snag dozens of Grass Pokémon from other Trainers, then she'll fight you. Her Gardevoir's Psychic attack can really hurt your team and her Vileplume will use Aerial Ace and Sludge Bomb to deal accurate and strong Flying and Poison damage. Fire Pokémon will make quick work of her Pokémon except for Sudowoodo, her Shadow Pokémon. Put a Sleep condition on the Imitation Pokémon and use physical attacks to Snag it. Here's Xenia's team:
Flora Admin Xenia(F): L55 Cacturne, L54 Gardevoir, L53 Vileplume, L52 Skarmory, L50 Sudowoodo/L51 Cradily
Sudowoodo's Shadow Attacks: Shadow Half, Shadow Hold, Shadow End (1 Normal Attack)
TEAM PLASMA: Location, Shadow Pokémon Lab
After Team Flora leaves the Team Snagem Hideout, you'll get an E-mail from Marcia (titled "Trouble at Lab!") telling you that Kilen, the Bodybuilder at Gateon Port, knows something about another team found near the Shadow Pokémon Lab. Head for Gateon and battle Kilen to learn that a group known as Team Plasma is at the Shadow Pokémon Lab. Head over there and upon heading inside, you'll notice that this time, Team Plasma Grunts drop down from above instead of Cipher Peons. They are found in the same locations that the Peons were your previous trek through the Lab. Here are each Grunt's Pokémon that you fight as you make your way through the Shadow Pokémon Lab:
Team Plasma Grunt(M): L43 Voltorb, L44 Meditite, L45 Natu, L46 Electrike
Team Plasma Grunt(F): L44 Spoink, L45 Magnemite, L46 Pikachu, L47 Pidgeotto
Team Plasma Grunt(M): L45 Elekid, L46 Flaaffy, L47 Porygon, L48 Loudred
Team Plasma Grunt(F): L46 Flaaffy, L47 Kadabra, L48 Raichu, L49 Golbat
Team Plasma Grunt(M): L47 Plusle, L48 Volbeat, L49 Granbull, L50 Haunter
Team Plasma Grunt(F): L48 Minun, L49 Illumise, L50 Dugtrio, L51 Aipom
Team Plasma Grunt(M): L49 Nosepass, L50 Mightyena, L51 Grumpig, L52 Magneton
Team Plasma Grunt(F): L50 Electrode, L51 Misdreavus, L52 Lanturn, L53 Pidegot
Team Plasma Grunt(M): L51 Magneton, L52 Medicham, L53 Ampharos, L54 Porygon2
As you make your way thugh the Lab, you'll eventually end up in the room where Wes fought Ein five years ago to find a Team Plasma Admin, Jack. You'll hear Jack saying he's looking for data on how to make more Shadow Pokémon so that Team Plasma will become unstoppable. He'll the notice you and recognize you. You then have to battle him. Use Ground-types to take on his Electric-types and an Electric attack of your own for Xatu. However, beware of Exploud's high damaging Hyper Voice attack and a Protect/Explosion combo used with Xatu and Electrode. When Jack sends out his Shadow Pokémon, Raikou, put it to Sleep and use attacks other than Ground-type ones so Snag it. Here's Jack's team:
Plasma Admin Jack(M): L55 Manectric, L54 Exploud, L53 Electrode, L52 Xatu, L50 Raikou/L51 Raichu
Raikou's Shadow Attacks: Shadow Bolt, Shadow Storm, Shadow Panic, Shadow Blitz
Once all four teams have been defeated, you'll get one more E-mail from Nett entitled "URGENT NEWS!!!" Head back to ONBS and talk to him. He'll tell you some terrible news. The news is that Team Rocket has taken over Citadark Island. You have to head back there and stop whatever plans they have.
GATEON PORT
As it turns out, each of the leaders of the other four teams are at Gateon Port, where you're supposed to set sail to Citadark Island on Robo Kyogre. Maxie (Team Magma), Archie (Team Aqua), Farlie (Team Flora), and Plasmae (Team Plasma) are each somewhere at Gateon Port. There's some bad news, though: Each of them have stolen a part from Robo Kyogre so you can't sail to Citadark! You have to fight each of them and obtain one of Robo Kyogre's parts. It won't be easy though, so I'll give you a little strategy for each of them.
Magma Leader Maxie(M): L60 Camerupt, L58 Mightyena, L58 Crobat, L58 Houndoom, L58 Arcanine, L45 Flygon/L58 Rapidash; Win the Kyogre Engine
Flygon Shadow Attacks: Shadow Storm, Shadow Crush, Shadow Sky (1 Normal Attack)
When facing Maxie, Archie, Farlie, or Plasmae, the music that plays is the traditional boss theme.
Maxie uses Sunny Day to up the power of his Pokémon's Fire-type attacks. Not only that, but two of his Pokémon (Houndoom and Rapidash) know Solarbeam, which takes only 1 turn to use in sunlight. You can counter all this with Rain Dance, however. Use Water and Ground attacks for Maxie's Pokémon before they burn up much of your team with their attacks. Use a Sleep condition on Flygon and Snag it.
Aqua Leader Archie(M): L60 Sharpedo, L58 Mightyena, L58 Crobat, L58 Octillery, L58 Mantine, L45 Jynx/L58 Poliwrath; Win the Kyogre Navigation
Jynx Shadow Attacks: Shadow Shed, Shadow Storm (2 Normal Attacks)
Archie uses Rain Dance to increase his Water Pokémon's power. However, you can use an Electric Pokémon that knows Thunder to take care of them. Grass Pokémon can also do the job. But be careful with Electric Pokémon since two of Archie's Pokémon (Sharpedo and Poliwrath) know Earthquake. However, a Thunder attack from a good Eletric-type should K.O. them in one hit. Use a Sleep condition on Jynx and Snag it.
Flora Leader Farlie(M): L60 Cacturne, L58 Mightyena, L58 Crobat, L58 Tangela, L58 Jumpluff, L45 Sunflora/L58 Victreebel; Win the Kyogre Ignition
Sunflora Shadow Attacks: Shadow Rave, Shadow Down (2 Normal Attacks)
Farlie has a sinister plan in store for you. His Pokémon will use the Toxic/Protect along with such moves as Spikes (Cacturne), Confuse Ray (Crobat), Mean Look (Crobat), and Bind (Tangela). Use Fire-type attacks to dispatch each of Farlie's Pokémon before that have a chance to do any of that to you. Bring healing items with you just in case the Poison damage starts to get to you. Use a Sleep condition on Sunflora and Snag it.
Plasma Leader Plasmae(F): L60 Manectric, L58 Mightyena, L58 Crobat, L58 Xatu, L58 Electabuzz , L45 Skarmory/L58 Raichu; Win the Kyogre Exhaust
Skarmory Shadow Attacks: Shadow Crush, Shadow Rave, Shadow Mist (1 Normal Attack)
Plasme's starategy is pure havoc. She'll have her Pokémon use Thunder Wave to Paralyze your team and then use attacks like Confuse Ray (Crobat and Xatu), Attract (Raichu), Double Team (Electabuzz), and Mean Look (Crobat), to make sure you never get the chance to attack. Ground-types however are immune to Thunder Wave and can take out Plasmae's team quickly. Use them. Use a Sleep condition on the Skarmory and Snag it.
CITADARK ISLAND
Once you've obtained the stolen parts to the Robo Kyogre, talk to Roose and he'll get to work on fixing Robo Kyogre. Head for anywhere else on the map, then return to Gateon and Robo Kyogre is fixed. You can now sail to Citadark Island. On the island, instead of the usual Trainers, you'll find many Team Rocket Grunts all over the place. Fifteen of them are standing on the path to Greevil's chamber, while two will drop from the ceiling at preset spots. Each Rocket uses a specific Pokémon type and thus will make this very difficult. If your team needs it, you can head to a Healing Station and heal your Pokémon as many times as you wish. Here are each Grunt's Pokémon along with an indication of that Grunt's type:
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Water: L52 Lombre, L53 Pelipper, L54 Cloyster, L55 Swampert
Team Rocket Grunt(F) Grass: L52 Roselia, L53 Cacturne, L54 Jumpluff, L55 Exeggutor
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Electric: L52 Magneton, L53 Electabuzz, L54 Lanturn, L55 Ampharos
Team Rocket Grunt(F) Fire: L52 Magcargo, L53 Torkoal, L54 Houndoom, L55 Typhlosion
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Fighting: L52 Machoke, L53 Medicham, L54 Breloom, L55 Poliwrath
Team Rocket Grunt(F) Poison: L52 Qwilfish, L53 Arbok, L54 Swalot, L55 Venusaur
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Flying: L52 Swellow, L53 Beautifly, L54 Tropius, L55 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(F) Ice: L52 Delibird, L53 Glalie, L54 Piloswine, L55 Walrein
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Bug: L53 Volbeat, L53 Illumise, L54 Ninjask, L54 Parasect
Team Rocket Grunt(F) Ground: L52 Marowak, L53 Whiscash, L54 Claydol, L55 Camerupt
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Steel: L52 Lairon, L53 Forretress, L54 Mawile, L55 Steelix
Team Rocket Grunt(F) Psychic: L52 Metang, L53 Jynx, L54 Xatu, L55 Gardevoir
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Rock: L52 Nosepass, L53 Pupitar, L54 Cradily, L55 Golem
Team Rocket Grunt(F) Dark: L52 Nuzleaf, L53 Mightyena, L54 Sneasel, L55 Sharpedo
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Normal: L52 Zangoose, L53 Delcatty, L54 Linoone, L55 Exploud
Team Rocket Grunt(F) Ghost: L52 Misdreavus, L53 Dusclops, L54 Sableye, L55 Gengar
Team Rocket Grunt(M) Dragon: L52 Altaria, L53 Dragonair, L54 Shelgon, L55 Flygon
GREEVIL'S CHAMBER
Once you have defeated all the Rockets, you can enter Greevil's chamber. Heal your Pokémon and save your progress before entering. When you enter, you'll have to fight some "elite" Team Rocket agents before you can take on Giovanni himself. If you make it through the first four groups, your team will be recharged for Giovanni and another elite agent of his. If you lose to any of them, you have to start over from Jessie & James. Here are each Rocket's team along with a mini-strategy for each of them:
Rocket Admins Jessie&James(F/M): L60 Seviper, L60 Wobbuffet, L60 Dustox, L60 Chimecho, L60 Cacturne, L50 Sneasel/L60 Meowth
Sneasel's Shadow Attacks: Shadow Blitz, Shadow Wave, Shadow Sky (1 Normal Attack)
The music when facing Jessie & James is the same as the music played in the first round of a knockout challenge.
Out favorite Team Rocket duo (along with Meowth) tends to use Poison- and Psychic-type Pokémon. Psychic-types can take care of the former, and Dark-types can take care of the latter. But Cacturne is there to counter Psychic Pokémon. Use a Fire attack on Cacturne (also good against Dustox), but Wobbuffet could be their trickiest Pokémon of all. Be careful of its Counter, Mirror Coat, and Destiny Bond attacks. Put a Sleep condition on the Sneasel and Snag it.
Rocket Admins Butch&Cassidy(M/F): L60 Raticate, L60 Primeape, L60 Houndoom, L60 Hitmontop, L60 Mightyena, L50 Stantler/L60 Armaldo
Stantler's Shadow Attacks: Shadow Panic, Shadow Shed, Shadow Mist (1 Normal Attack)
The music when facing Butch and Cassidy is the same as the music played in the second round of a knockout challenge.
Butch & Cassidy are even harder than Jessie & James. Psychic and Flying Pokémon should take care of Primeape and Hitmontop and Fighting and Bug Pokémon should be used against Houndoom and Mightyena. Be careful of such combos like Hitmontop's Flying-type blow/Counter and Houndoom's Overheat/White Herb. If you follow these rules, you'll be able to topple this duo. Put a Sleep condition on the Stantler and Snag it.
Rocket Admins Annie&Oakley(F/F): L60 Ariados, L60 Espeon, L60 Azumarill, L60 Sunflora, L60 Camerupt, L50 Murkrow/L60 Altaria
Murkrow's Shadow Attacks: Shadow Crush, Shadow Sky, Shadow Down (1 Normal Attack)
The music when facing Annie & Oakley is the same as the music played in the semifinal round of a knockout challenge.
Annie & Oakley (from Pokémon Heroes) use a very diverse team. None of their Pokémon seem to share a weakness. Not only that, but they use a slew of attacks such as Sludge Bomb (Ariados), Psychic (Espeon), Faint Attack and Razor Leaf (Sunflora), Surf and Ice Beam (Azumarill), Flamethrower and Earthquake (Camerupt), and Dragonbreath (Altaria, once you've snagged Murkrow). Fire attacks can take out Ariados and Sunflora and a Water Pokémon with both a Water and Ice attack can make quick work of Camerupt and Altaria (once you've snagged Murkrow). Use Dark and Electric-type attacks for Espeon and Azumarill. Murkrow may have Insomnia, so put a Paralyze or Freeze condition on the Murkrow and Snag it.
Rocket Admin Tyson(M): L60 Fearow, L60 Fearow, L60 Meganium, L60 Arcanine, L60 Manectric, L50 Absol/L60 Crawdaunt
Absol's Shadow Attacks: Shadow Half, Shadow Hold, Shadow End (1 Normal Attack)
The music when facing Tyson is the same as the music played in the final round of a knockout challenge.
Tyson can be very tough. Both of his Fearow know Hyper Beam and Drill Peck. He'll usually pair one of them with Manectric (who has the Lightningrod ability) to draw Electric attacks from the Flying-types (also from Crawdaunt). Instead, either use Ice-type attacks for the Flying-types or take out Manectric with a Ground attack to remove Fearow's protection. Use Fire for Meganium, Water for Torkoal, and Grass or Electric for Crawdaunt (once you've Snagged Absol). It's easier said than done, since Meganium knows Earthquake and Rock Slide and Crawdaunt knows Dig and Guillotine. You'll need to use good strategy to take out Tyson. Put a Sleep condition on Absol and Snag it.
Rocket Renegade I.M.M.(M): L60 Sneasel, L60 Scizor, L60 Milotic, L60 Shiftry, L60 Blaziken, L50 Pupitar/L60 Tyranitar
Pupitar's Shadow Attacks: Shadow Crush (3 Normal Attacks)
There is no music when facing Iron Masked Marauder.
I.M.M. will usually start with Sneasel and Scizor, both of which can be dealt with Fire attacks. The same type of attack can be used against Shiftry. For Milotic, use a powerful Electric-type to take it out quickly (it knows Recover) and drench Blaziken with a Water attack. When I.M.M. sends out Tyranitar (once you've Snagged Pupitar), watch out for its strong attacks, including Crunch, Earthquake, Rock Slide, and Thunderbolt, plus its Sand Stream ability. Put a Sleep condition on Pupitar and Snag it.
Rocket Leader Giovanni(M): L65 Persian, L65 Cloyster, L65 Cradily, L65 Machamp, L65 Flygon, L55 Metagross/L65 Metagross
Metagross's Shadow Attacks: Shadow Storm, Shadow Break, Shadow Sky, Shadow Mist
The music when facing Giovanni in this battle is Greevil's theme.
Once I.M.M. falls, you'll see Giovanni head into the chamber. He'll reveal his plan about resurrecting Cipher's Shadow Pokémon scheme and creating an army of Shadow Pokémon for Team Rocket to take over the world with. You'll then have to face Giovanni, who will try to stop you with his superpowers. Persian will use Roar to keep switching out your Pokémon. Cloyster will use Light Screen to cut Special Attack damage in half and quickly K.O. your Pokémon with Sheer Cold. Cradily will use Recover and Mirror Coat to make things even worse for you. Machamp will use Cross Shop and Rock Slide to deal heavy damage. Flygon will use Earthquake and Dragon Claw for some same-type damage. And the second Metagross (once you've snagged the first Metagross) is Giovanni's toughest Pokémon of all, equipped with Meteor Mash, Earthquake, Brick Break, and Hyper Beam. Just use what you got to deal with all of his Pokémon. Put a Sleep condition on the first Metagross and Snag it.
Once Giovanni falls, you'll see a scene where Professor Oak, Professor Elm, Professor Birch, and Professor Ivy come into the chamber, along with Chief Sherles and Duking. They'll tell Giovanni that his plans are finished. Giovanni will then boast that even though his current plans are over, he's not finished. You'll then see his helicopter come down near a window of the chamber and he'll be hoisted onto it, making a getaway. (If this is the first time you've beaten Giovanni in this way, he'll drop a parcel before making the getaway.) Oak will then tell you that you did great stopping Giovanni's scheme as well as the schems of Team Magma, Aqua, Flora, and Plasma. Elm will then congratulate you on your progress. Birch will mention that he hopes no one else will ever do such a thing as creating Shadow Pokémon. Ivy will then tell you that you deserve something special for your work. Then the credits roll like they do after defeating Nascour and Evice. However, the Pokémon that appear on the screen during the credits this time are those of R/B/Y origin (like Ivysaur, Charmelon, and Wartortle), ending with Mew.
After you're asked to save your game, you'll get an e-mail from Justy (the Pre-Gym Leader in Phenac City) telling you that the Professors left you a special gift to take. Head to Phenac's Pre-Gym and Justy will present you with a choice of three out of nine Pokémon each at L5, a Bulbasaur, a Charmander, a Squirtle, a Chikorita (w/Flamethrower), a Cyndaquil (w/Surf), a Totodile (w/Thunderbolt), a Treecko, a Torchic, and a Mudkip. You can choose Bulbasaur, Chikorita, and Treecko, Charmander, Cyndaquil, and Torchic, or Squirtle, Totodile, and Mudkip. An addition to getting a Hoenn starter from the mission, that Hoenn starter can learn a move previously reserved to only Kanto starters! (The routine is the same as for the Kanto starters.) Evolving the Treecko to Sceptile will allow it to learn Frenzy Plant, which was previously exclusive to Venusaur. Same goes for Torchic evolving to Blaziken and learning the previously Charizard-exclusive Blast Burn and Mudkip evolving to Swampert and learning the previously Blastoise-exclusive Hydro Cannon. After choosing, you can go through this mission again and then chose three of the others afterwards. If Giovanni dropped a parcel, you'll get the parcel's contents, which happens to be a new PC Box. (The number is 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13, depending on how many boxes there were before you got this one.)
Part 2: Phenac Missions
If you transmit the password on Steal Crystal along with the password(s) used to download one of Colosseum's Phenac Missions, you can do that Phenac Mission in XD: Gale of Darkness. In each mission, 10 of that team's underlings litter the streets of Phenac (except in the Snagem mission, where two of their grunts go to Realgam Tower instead). The three Phenac missions are from Team Snagem (Snagem Breaks In, Cipher/Snagem Threat or Cipher/Snagem Crisis), Team Cipher (Cipher Energy II-A, Cipher/Snagem Threat or Colosseum Set), and Team Rocket (Secret Cards, Cipher/Snagem Crisis). Each person in each of the missions has one Shadow Pokémon that has Shadow Crush as its only shadow attack. Each Phenac mission may be done only once. Here are the rundowns of the three different missions:
Snagem Mission:
Team Snagem Dcuol(M): Blocking the path to Phenac Stadium; L60 Smeargle, L30 Misdreavus
Team Snagem Siihctta(M): Challenge him at Phenac Stadium; L60 Smeargle, L30 Noctowl
Team Snagem Rrtabe(M): In plain sight outside Pre Gym; L60 Smeargle, L33 Furret
Team Snagem Idc(M): An impostor Trest outside a civilian's home, talk to him and choose "Trainers' City" when prompted to battle him; L60 Smeargle, L33 Yanma
Team Snagem Uiefyf(M): Is technically cheating, he's in the Battle CD lobby at Realgam Tower; L60 Smeargle, L33 Octillery
Team Snagem Hthipsroe(M): Is technically cheating, he's in the Battle Bingo lobby at Realgam Tower; L60 Smeargle, L33 Mantine
Team Snagem Sraie(M): An impostor Lovrina outside the mayor's house; talk to him and choose "Snattle" when prompted to battle him; L60 Smeargle, L33 Qwilfish
Team Snagem Ftai(M): Hides in Phenac Stadium lobby; L60 Smeargle, L33 Meditite
Team Snagem Idxieri(M): An impostor Ardos outside the Pokémon Center; talk to him and choose "Exol" when prompted to battle him; L60 Smeargle, L33 Dunsparce
Team Snagem Ennvcit(M): An impostor Eldes outside the Pre Gym; talk to him and choose "Wes" when prompted to battle him; L60 Smeargle, L70 Mewtwo
Yes, this is another scramble puzzle. Each one corresponds to a certain Final Fantasy VII character. PM me if you can decode them.
Also, these names and locations are exclusive to the XD version of the mission. The Colosseum version uses random names and locations.
Cipher Mission:
Cipher Peon Maria(F): Hides in Pokémon Center upper floor; L40 Raichu, L30 Omanyte
Cipher Peon Nathan(M): Hides in Trest's house lower floor; L40 Raichu, L30 Kabuto
Cipher Peon Ophelia(F): Hides in Pre Gym upper floor; L40 Raichu, L30 Aerodactyl
Cipher Peon Paul(M): Hides in Pre Gym lower floor; L40 Raichu, L30 Lileep
Cipher Peon Quincy(M): Hides in Phenac Stadium lobby; L40 Raichu, L30 Anorith
Cipher Peon Ruby(F): Hides in Pokémon Center lower floor; L40 Raichu, L50 Regirock
Cipher Peon Sally(F): Hides in Trest's house upper floor; L40 Raichu, L50 Regice
Cipher Peon Tom(M): Runs behind Dash around the fountain; L40 Raichu, L50 Registeel
Cipher Peon Urkel(M): Ambushes any exiting person; L40 Raichu, L70 Latios
Cipher Peon Valerie(F): Ambushes entry into any building other than Pokémon Center, Pre Gym, Phenac Stadium, and mayor's house; L40 Raichu, L70 Latias
Rocket Mission:
Team Rocket Grunt(M): Guards Phenac's western gate; L40 Swalot, L40 Marowak, L30 Aipom
Team Rocket Grunt(M): Guards Phenac's eastern gate; L40 Swalot, L40 Marowak, L30 Snubbull
Team Rocket Grunt(M): Guards Phenac's southern gate; L40 Swalot, L40 Marowak, L30 Delibird
Team Rocket Grunt(F): Hides in Phenac Stadium lobby; L40 Sneasel, L40 Glalie, L32 Heracross
Team Rocket Grunt(F): Hides in Pokémon Center upper floor; L40 Magneton, L40 Claydol, L34 Porygon
Team Rocket Grunt(F): Hides in Pokémon Center lower floor; L40 Absol, L40 Beedrill, L34 Miltank
Team Rocket Grunt(F): Hides in Pre Gym lower floor; L40 Raticate, L40 Granbull, L36 Tropius
Team Rocket Grunt(F): Hides in Pre Gym upper floor; L40 Golbat, L40 Butterfree, L36 Smeargle

Team Rocket Grunt(M): Hides in Trest's house upper floor; L40 Onix, L40 Skarmory, L38 Hitmontop
Just for the record, each of the dialogue of the Snagem grunts pretending to be others is as follows:
Idc: "Where was the Cipher headquarters 5 years ago? [Trainers' City/Realgam Tower]"
Choose Realgam Tower: "Thanks for refreshing my memory. I owe you one next time."
Choose Trainers' City: "I don't think so! Let's battle!" [begin battle]
Sraie: "Of SNATTLE or GORIGAN, which one is not my direct higher-up? [Gorigan/Snattle]"
Choose Gorigan: "Correct. You may continue on."
Choose Snattle: "Sorry. SNATTLE is my direct higher-up. For that incorrect answer, you owe me a battle!" [begin battle]
Idxieri: "Can you recall who led a raid on ONBS? [Exol/Mirakle B.]"
Choose Mirakle B.: "You can't? No reason to battle a dumb kid!
Choose Exol: "You know too much! You know I can't let you live!" [begin battle]
Ennvcit: "Who is the [OOPS!] fool that sent EVICE to prison? [Eagun/Wes]"
The censored word begins with D.
Choose Eagun: "That old fart with the PIKACHU? He couldn't even throw EVICE one inch!"
Choose Wes: "Curse that WES! MEWTWO, take this smartypants out!" [begin battle]
Part 3: Other Classic Data
The Steal Crystal card can also be paired with many other Colosseum missions and their passwords.
Pair Steal Crystal with Cipher Breaks In from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Cipher/Snagem Crisis to download the Eight Team Challenge (the Cipher/Snagem Threat version for both cards) to XD: Gale of Darkness. The challenge will occur at the Orre Colosseum, with the same rules as it has normally (so you can ignore the levels and random Pokémon limits listed in the link). Nobody is kidnapped this time around, but the event is still activated by watching TV. There are minor differences in the battles; Maxie now adds a Rapidash, Archie now adds a Poliwrath, Farlie now adds a Victreebel, Plasmae now adds a Raichu, Giovanni now adds a Metagross, and Gonzap brings his XD Orre Colosseum team to the challenge. The last five battles (one in challenge 7, the other four in challenge 8) are completely different than Colosseum's. Greevil replaces Evice, and the entire eighth challenge is replaced by a different set of four. Greevil uses his Citadark Island team. The Deep Dwellers from Colosseum are replaced by generic Chasers, and Chobin and his Robo Groudon will take Agnol's place and bring his Orre Colosseum team to the challenge.
This post contains several Cipher/Snagem Threat missions.
For Cipher/Snagem Breaks In's data, simply transmit the A version of the matching Breaks In card from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Cipher/Snagem Crisis to the Tajiri server, followed by the followed by the universal confirmation password "C4F-4M0-Vxx", where xx denotes a two-letter version identifier; in this case XD for Gale of Darkness is the version talked about here. There are several trainers changed in the XD: Gale of Darkness version of the data. Chobin replaces Agnol, Eldes replaces Nascour, Greevil replaces Evice, and Gonzap brings a different team. (Ardos will appear in the Cipher Breaks In mission, but he won't battle.) Here are their teams:
Chobin's Team: L53 Sunflora, L53 Gyarados, L53 Scizor
Gonzap's Team: L53 Venusaur, L53 Charizard, L53 Blastoise
Eldes's Team: L53 Gengar, L53 Snorlax, L53 Tauros
Greevil's Team: L53 Manectric, L53 Starmie, L53 Altaria
Also, you can use this set of teams in a GBA game by pairing up Steal Crystal with the passwords, and using RU (Ruby), SA (Sapphire), FR (FireRed), LG (LeafGreen), or EM (Emerald) as the version identifier. Sorry, there's no way to use the Colosseum teams in XD or the XD teams in Colosseum.
For the Schemer Mission, simply transmit the A version of the the Team Cipher Schemer and Team Snagem Schemer cards from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Cipher/Snagem Crisis to the Tajiri server, followed by the followed by the universal confirmation password "C4F-4M0-Vxx", where xx denotes a two-letter version identifier; in this case XD for Gale of Darkness is the version talked about here. The matching grunts will appear on the front lawn of Mt. Battle in XD: Gale of Darkness. There are no changes to the data.
The Peon/Grunt Mission is based on the Cipher/Snagem Crisis version of the data. Simply transmit the A version of the the Team Cipher Peon and Team Snagem Grunt cards from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Cipher/Snagem Crisis to the Tajiri server, followed by the followed by the universal confirmation password "C4F-4M0-Vxx", where xx denotes a two-letter version identifier; in this case XD for Gale of Darkness is the version talked about here. There are two changes. In XD: Gale of Darkness, Team Rocket will put their grunts at the Cipher Key Lair since you cannot access The Under in the game; and Greevil will approach for Team Cipher instead of Evice. Nothing else is changed. This is the fully expanded version.
The Move Machine will move to any Poké Spot in XD: Gale of Darkness. To access it, simply transmit the A version of the the Team Cipher Peon and Team Snagem Grunt cards from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Cipher/Snagem Crisis to the Tajiri server, followed by the followed by the universal confirmation password "C4F-4M0-Vxx", where xx denotes a two-letter version identifier; in this case XD for Gale of Darkness is the version talked about here. There is one change to the Move Machine in XD. Instead of Evice, Greevil's face will appear for Cipher.
Breaks-In Retro uses a team other than Cipher and Snagem. Transmit the passwords on the B version of Cipher's Realgam Tower and Snagem's Hoard House from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Cipher/Snagem Crisis along with Steal Crystal and the password of the Breaks In card of the matching team to the Tajiri server. There is a change in Team Rocket's version of the mission: The place they hold up is the HQ Lab in XD: Gale of Darkness instead of the Realgam Tower Dome Complex.
The Mt. Battle Invasion is the Orre counterpart to the Elite Four mission. In XD: Gale of Darkness, you'll be playing with a fully expanded mission with the Cipher/Snagem Crisis version of the data. There are some differences. First off, the admins in Area 4 are Ardos and Eldes rather than Venus and Ein; and Greevil will appear on platform 40. Ardos and Eldes use their Orre Colosseum team at level 53, while Greevil will use his Citadark Island team at level 53. Also, you can use this set of teams in a GBA game by pairing up Steal Crystal with the passwords, and using RU (Ruby), SA (Sapphire), FR (FireRed), LG (LeafGreen), or EM (Emerald) as the version identifier, where Ardos and Eldes pair up and use the first 3 of their respective lineups, and Greevil will be in the induction room. Sorry, there's no way to use the Colosseum teams in XD or the XD teams in Colosseum.
The Orre Impostor Mission can be transmitted to XD: Gale of Darkness by using Steal Crystal as well as the following cards from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Cipher/Snagem Crisis: Team Cipher Ball, Team Snagem Ball, Team Cipher Belt, Team Snagem Belt, Team Cipher Hideout, Team Snagem Hideout, Cipher Energy (II), Snagem Energy (II), Team Cipher Technical Machine 01, and Team Snagem Technical Machine 01, both I-B Energy cards. Impostors will pose as Michael and Willie, but this time, the impostor posing as Michael will be a generic impostor, unlike the one posing as Wes in Colosseum (which was Fein, who's not seen in XD: Gale of Darkness). There are slight changes to the broadcasts to remove references to a former Team Snagem member. The teams remain the same. The special knockout challenge remains intact, except it's moved to the Realgam Tower Colosseum.
The Pre Gym Challenges are transmitted by pairing Steal Crystal along with every Pokémon-ex B version from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Pokémon Colosseum Set. They work the same as they do in Colosseum with no differences.
The Orre Slot Machine is transmitted by pairing the Steal Crystal along with all of the secret cards from either Cipher/Snagem Threat or Pokémon Colosseum Set. If using the latter, you must also use Duking's Plusle from Cipher/Snagem Threat (not the Missed Opportunities one, that has a different password), since you can't download it unless it's the bugfixed Threat version. There are some changes. First off, there's a new receptionist in one of the Realgam Tower domes that will show you to the slot machine. Secondly, the prize for Triple 7s and Triple Bars are different; the former is now the one that yields the 1,000,000 cash, while the latter wields 10 copies of TM26. Also, three of the symbols are different in XD: Gale of Darkness. What was Espeon in Colosseum is now Shadow Lugia; what was Umbreon in Colosseum is now Metagross; what was Skarmory in Colosseum is now Eevee.
There is one other mission in this section. Scott's Colosseum Mission from Colosseum is back in XD: Gale of Darkness. (This piece of data is a normal-difficulty version; a harder-difficulty version of the challenge will be unlockable in the piece of data starting in post 117.) The Frontier Brains go to Orre Colosseum in XD: Gale of Darkness, where they'll battle in a tournament similar to the Eight-Team Challenge. Everyone battles according to the rules of Orre Colosseum, which means that everyone has some new Pokémon. The new Pokémon for Noland when he chooses one of these teams will be explained in the post that has the Trainers' City-required classic missions. The new Pokémon for Noland when he chooses an Eight-Team Challenge team is explained in the XD: Gale of Darkness version of the Eight Team Challenge above. Noland can also choose a random Orre Colosseum team from the Cipher Admins in XD: Gale of Darkness. Here are the other new Pokémon for the others:
Herdes: Houndoom, Ninetales, Blaziken, Magmar
Cyrille: Ampharos, Lanturn, Raichu
Draissel: Victreebel, Bellossom
Juan: Lapras
Dartz: Heracross, Girafarig, Hariyama, Zangoose (Machoke evolves to Machamp)
Ada: Sunflora, Manectric, Whiscash (Nuzleaf evolves to Shiftry)
Janice: Magcargo, Hypno
Tucker: Latias
Chad: Seviper, Huntail, Dunsparce, Relicanth
Fiona: Altaria, Luvdisc, Lickitung (Dragonair evolves to Dragonite)

Barton: Medicham, Raticate, Umbreon
Clara: Tangela, Misdreavus
Greta: Dodrio
Ike: 4 additional Bug-types at random
Larry: 3 additional Steel-types at random
Leon: 2 additional Pokémon at random knowing Paralysis moves
Noland: Depends on the team; if a Gym Leader team, see post below; if an Eight-Team Challenge team, see XD changes above; if a Cipher Admin team, no changes
Beluah: Shiftry, Hitmonlee, Pelipper, Hitmontop (Lombre evolves to Ludicolo)
Crecitia: Nidoqueen, Poliwrath, Shedinja
Rodney: Absol, Pidgeot
Spenser: Suicune
Starsky: Misdreavus, Noctowl, Banette, Swellow (Haunter evolves to Gengar)

Data that involves Trainers' City is in the next post.
