The former base of Team Snagem that was completely destroyed in a catastrophic explosion.Colo Team Snagem's base is apparently still in use even after it was destroyed.XD The base where Team Snagem dreams of regaining its former glory.XD
Snagem Hideout (Japanese: スナッチ団のアジトTeam Snatch Hideout) is a location in Orre. It is the base of the villainousTeam Snagem. According to an early news report in Pokémon Colosseum, it is located in a part of Orre known as Eclo Canyon.
Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
At the start of Pokémon Colosseum, the base is heavily damaged by the player as they steal the only portable Snag Machine and destroy the bigger one, detonating several bombs placed around the building during their theft and escape. During the post-game, it acts as a gathering place for Shadow PokémonTrainers who cannot be rematched during the main game.
In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, the Snagem Hideout is still in severe disrepair from the sabotage five years ago, but is still in use by Team Snagem. The player must enter it in order to reclaim their stolen Snag Machine.
Despite the player leaving the Snagem Hideout at the start of the game, it cannot be visited until the post-game, where the player must visit it at least twice. The first time they visit it to follow a lead on a Cipher Peon with a ShadowJohtostarter Pokémon that they didn't snag in Phenac City.
After the Johto starter has been snagged, the player will soon be informed of rumors about the big Snag Machine being repaired, promoting them to revisit the hideout again. During this return visit, the player can snag two previously unavailable Shadow Pokémon, a Smeargle and an Ursaring, and rematch Snagem Head Gonzap. Battling Gonzap allows the player to claim the D-Disk, which is required to access the Deep Colosseum and progress the post-game plot. It is also revealed that the big Snag Machine has been destroyed beyond repair and the fake rumors were merely a plan hatched by Gonzap to lure the player into returning to the hideout and get revenge on him for betraying the team at the start of the game.
Most Shadow Pokémon Trainers who cannot be rematched during the main game also appear here, allowing the player to battle them again in case they failed to snag their Shadow Pokémon earlier.
In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness
The player must visit the Snagem Hideout in order to get back the Snag Machine stolen from them by Wakin at the S.S. Libra. Upon reaching Gonzap's office, the player sees Gonzap berating Wakin that the Snag Machine is too small for him, before being forced to battle Wakin and Gonzap in succession. Once Gonzap has been defeated, he will return the Snag Machine to the player, admitting that both of them are aiming for the same goal, as Team Snagem is seeking to get revenge on Cipher for abandoning their alliance with them.
Gonzap will also give the player a key to a locked item chest on 1F after being defeated, allowing the player to obtain the TM hidden inside it.
If a Trainer's Shadow Pokémon wasn't snagged during the main game, it will replace the last Pokémon in their party here. They can be rematched until their Shadow Pokémon has been snagged.
