In this game, the [[player character]] [[Wes]] was formerly a member of an organization called [[Team Snagem]], which had obtained a machine that allowed the user to "snag" another Trainer's Pokémon as though it were wild. Another team, [[Cipher]], was responsible for corrupting the hearts of Pokémon and giving them to Trainers. With the help of a young girl named [[Rui]], [[Wes]] was able to find the Pokémon whose hearts were sealed and surrounded by a purple aura and use the [[Snag Machine]] to rescue Shadow Pokémon and restore them to normal.

==Plot==

{{spoilers}}

Upon reaching the new location, a pair of shady people are just leaving the city with a noisy, wriggling sack in tow. Once they see that they've been caught, one of the goons, Folly, starts a battle with the player. After defeat, both people get away, leaving the sack unattended. A girl emerges from the bag after some trouble undoing the knot, and claim to have seen the kidnappers use some kind of strange looking Pokémon. The girl becomes the player's partner and both go to find the Mayor to clear things up. A strange man bumps into the player as he leaves the Mayor's office, predicting that he will see the player again sometime in the future. The player and partner then enter the house as the girl proceeds to alert the Mayor of weird Pokémon that have a dark aura and attack humans. The Mayor assures the team that he will look into this case, and suggests going to the city's Stadium. At the doorway of the Stadium, some Snagem members recognize the player as the traitor who blew up their base. A battle with one of them ensues, and upon defeat, the girl tells the player that she doesn't care about the past, but she does encourage buying some Poké Balls for future use. After this scene, the girl, [[Rui]], becomes the player's permanent partner, and will follow the player throughout the length of the game.

Then, after purchasing some Poké Balls at [[Outskirt Stand]], the player returns to Phenac City, only to find it taken over by some thugs. The player tries to rescue the Mayor, but finding the decked-out [[Miror B.]] and his mischievous friends in his wake. The player's partner identifies the first Shadow Pokémon available for capture after entering a battle with Miror B.'s underlings, [[Folly]] and [[Trudly]]. After beating both in a battle, and/or capturing the Shadow Pokémon, the player tries to leave the city for [[Pyrite Town]], but is waylaid by brightly clad goons at each exit. Each has a Shadow Pokémon, but defeat of one will cue the others to leave.

Even with the true leader of Cipher under arrest, there is still a post-ending to be completed. [[Secc]], from the [[Kids Grid]], emails the player information about some interesting characters who end up telling the player about some points of interest. Eventually, the Snagem Hideout becomes available for exploration, the Shadow Pokémon Laboratory gets some Cipher refugees to battle, and a hidden Stadium in the Under is brought to the player's attention. Lastly, after all the Shadow Pokémon are snagged, the player will be notified of a Trainer that is attacking people with another Shadow Pokémon, who supposedly looks just like the player. After the copy's defeat, there are still Colosseum battles to be won and a Ho-Oh to be obtained in Battle Mode.

==Trivia==

* Despite being on the cover, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are not available in the game unless traded from a [[Game Boy Advance]] game.

* The game erroneously calls {{m|Frenzy Plant}} "Solid Plant".

* Unlike the {{g|Stadium series}}, Pokémon in this game retain their [[Cry|computerized voices]], identical to those in the GBA games.

* Pokémon Colosseum and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} are the only RPG Pokémon games released after {{game|Crystal}} not to give the player the choice of playing as either a boy or a girl.

* None of the Pokémon obtainable in the game are from [[Generation I]].

* In Europe, a GameCube Bundle could be purchased which included Pokémon Colosseum, a memory card, [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]] as a bonus disc, and a [[GameCube]]-[[Game Boy Advance]] [[Game Link Cable]].
