The Purify Chamber works by slowly opening a Pokémon's heart with time.  Each of its nine Sets operates via the [[type]] of Pokémon placed in it and whether it is [[Damage modification#Type effectiveness|super effective, normal, or not very effective]] against neighboring Pokémon in the same set; the more effective the type matchup between two Pokémon is (e.g. {{t|Dark}} on {{t|Psychic}}), the greater the [[flow]] inside the set and the faster the Pokémon's purification will proceed.  For the purposes of the Purify chamber, {{t|Normal}} is treated as strong against itself, making it possible to achieve maximum flow even with exclusively single-typed Normal Pokémon.

The above method works the same for all [[Shadow Pokémon]] except [[Shadow Lugia]], who is believed to be immune to purification. To purify Shadow Lugia, it must be placed into the chamber when all nine Sets are at the maximum tempo (termed a "perfect circle"). Shadow Lugia will then have its [[Heart Gauge]] opened over time and can ultimately be purified; however, if at any time it is removed from the chamber, or if any Set is reduced from maximum tempo, its heart will fully close again and the process must be repeated.
