===Heart Gauge===
In most cases, a Shadow Pokémon's heart can only be fully opened once its [[Heart Gauge]] has been completely depleted. This is denoted by the message, "The door to its heart is about to open. Undo the final lock!"
Before completely opening the door to a Shadow Pokémon's heart, its [[Heart Gauge]] must first drop to zero, turning completely white.


The following actions will slowly open the door to a Pokémon's heart:
The following actions will open the door to a Pokémon's heart by varying amounts:
* Walking with a Shadow Pokémon
* Sending a Shadow Pokémon into battle
* Sending a Shadow Pokémon into a [[Pokémon battle]]
* Calling a Shadow Pokémon out of Hyper Mode or Reverse Mode in battle
* Calling a Shadow Pokémon to its senses from [[Hyper Mode]] or [[Reverse Mode]]
* Walking with a Shadow Pokémon in the [[party]]
* Using a [[cologne]] on a Shadow Pokémon
* Walking with a Shadow Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} (in Pokémon Colosseum only)
* Keeping a Shadow Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] (in Pokémon Colosseum only)
* Using [[Cologne|Scents]] on a Shadow Pokémon
* Keeping a Shadow Pokémon with other Pokémon in the [[Purify Chamber]]
* Placing a Shadow Pokémon in the Purification Chamber (in Pokémon XD only)
See the [[Heart Gauge]] page for more details.


===Purification stages===
In Pokémon Colosseum, the player may use a [[Time Flute]] to instantly purify any Shadow Pokémon by summoning {{p|Celebi}} at the [[Relic Stone]], regardless of the status of its Heart Gauge.
* 0% purified: This is the state at which a Shadow Pokémon is [[snag]]ged. The Pokémon has at least one [[Shadow move]], and its [[Nature]] is unknown. Before any progress has been made on the Heart Gauge, the Pokémon's description will state, "The door to its heart is tightly shut." After any progress has been made, until the next stage, the description will state, "The door to its heart is starting to open."
 
* 20% purified: When at this stage, the Shadow Pokémon will relearn its first non-Shadow move. Until the next stage, the description will state, "The door to its heart is opening up."
In Pokémon XD, [[Shadow Lugia]] can only be purified if it is put into one of the [[Purify Chamber]]'s Sets when all nine slots have achieved maximum tempo. Its Heart Gauge will reset if the process is interrupted, such as by removing Shadow Lugia from the chamber.
* 40% purified: The Shadow Pokémon's Nature is revealed (though it was determined when the Pokémon was first encountered), and the Pokémon will also start receiving experience points in battle, though this is not mentioned to the player or counted towards a level-up until the purification process is completed. Until the next stage, the description will state, "The door to its heart is opening wider."
* 60% purified: The second non-Shadow move is relearned. Until the next stage, the description will state, "The door to its heart is nearly open."
* 80% purified: The Shadow Pokémon will enter Hyper (or Reverse) Mode more frequently. Also, in Colosseum only, a third non-Shadow move is relearned. Until the next stage, the description will state, "The door to its heart is almost fully open."
* 100% purified: The Shadow Pokémon's heart is 'ready to open' and the purification process can be finished, turning the Shadow Pokémon back into a normal Pokémon. At this stage, the description will state, "The door to its heart is about to open. Undo the final lock!"


===Purification ceremony===
===Purification ceremony===
Once a Pokémon's Heart Gauge is completely white, it is time to "undo the final lock," the final step in opening the door to a Shadow Pokémon's heart. This is done through a purification ceremony. In Pokémon Colosseum, these ceremonies can only be performed at the [[Relic Stone]] in [[Agate Village]], but in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, they can also be performed in any Set of the [[Purify Chamber]] at [[Pokémon HQ Lab]] as well.

===Time Flute===
In Pokémon Colosseum, the player can find up to three special [[item]]s called [[Time Flute]]s to instantly purify any Shadow Pokémon by summoning {{p|Celebi}} at the [[Relic Stone]], which will open the door to a Shadow Pokémon's heart. Time Flutes do not appear in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
 
===Shadow Lugia===
[[Shadow Lugia]] is a special case and can only be purified if it is put into one of the [[Purify Chamber]]'s Sets when all nine slots have achieved maximum tempo. Its Heart Gauge will also reset if the process is interrupted, such as by removing Shadow Lugia from the chamber.


==After purification==
==After purification==
Once a Pokémon is purified, any [[Shadow move]]s are replaced with other [[move]]s. In {{Pokémon XD}}, besides moves learned through level up, [[TM]] or [[breeding]] a just-purified Pokémon will know at least one special move. It immediately gains any [[Experience]] and [[Effort Values]] that it has earned in battles prior to the purification, meaning that it may gain one or more [[level]]s. The Pokémon receives a special [[Ribbon]] for "clearing all difficulties", and at this point the [[Pokémon Trainer]] may choose a [[nickname]] for it. The player is now able to trade the purified Pokémon with the GBA games {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}} using a GameCube/GBA cable.
