Purification: Difference between revisions

The following things will slowly open the door to a Pokémon's heart:

*0% Purified: The Pokémon has at least one [[Shadow move]], its nature is unknown. This is the state at which a Shadow Pokémon is [[snag]]ged. Upon snagging, text is "The door to its heart is tightly shut.". Between this and next stage, text is "The door to its heart is starting to open."

*20% Purified: When at this stage, the Shadow Pokémon will relearn a move. Between this and next stage, text is "The door to its heart is opening up."

*40% Purified: The Shadow Pokémon's nature is revealed (though it was determined when the Pokémon was snagged).

*60% Purified: Another move is relearned.

*80% Purified: The Shadow Pokémon will enter Hyper Mode more frequently. Also, in Colosseum only, another move is relearned.

*Empty Shadow Bar: Shadow Pokémon's heart is 'ready to open', the Purification process can be finished, turning the Shadow Pokémon back into a normal Pokémon.

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 Ritual. In Pokémon Colosseum, Purification Rituals can only be performed at the [[Relic Stone]] in [[Agate Village]], but in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, they can be performed in a Set of the [[Purify Chamber]] at [[Pokémon HQ Lab]] as well.

A special [[item]], the [[Time Flute]], can be used to purify any Shadow Pokémon instantly. Playing this item will make {{p|Celebi}} appear, and it will open the door to a Shadow Pokémon's heart.  A Time Flute can only be used once, and only a few appear in Pokémon Colosseum.

[[Shadow Lugia]], (codename: XD001), is a special case and can only be purified if it is put into one of the [[Purify Chamber]]'s Sets with all nine slots set to maximum tempo.

Once a Pokémon is purified, any [[Shadow move]]s are replaced with other [[move]]s. In {{Pokémon XD}} they learn each of these moves: one move learned through level up, one move learn through a [[TM]], one [[Egg move]] and a special move. It 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 may also trade the purified Pokémon with the GBA games {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}} using a GameCube/GBA cable, but only if the player has defeated the [[Elite Four]] {{sup|Ru}}{{sup|Sa}}{{sup|E}} or located the Ruby and Sapphire and given them to [[Celio]] {{sup|FR}}{{sup|LG}}. The player of the GBA games must also save in a [[Pokémon Center]] with the Pokémon they wish to trade to the GameCube game.
