A '''Heart Gauge''' (Japanese: '''リライブゲージ''' ''{{tt|Relive|Purification}} Gauge'') is a meter that's used in the [[Nintendo GameCube]] games, [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].
A '''Heart Gauge''' (Japanese: '''リライブゲージ''' ''{{tt|Relive|Purification}} Gauge'') is a meter for a [[Shadow Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] that measures how far it is from being able to be [[purification|purified]].


The Heart Gauge is used to measure how closed the heart of a [[Shadow Pokémon]] is. The gauge is split into five major sections. As the Pokémon opens its heart to the player, the bar starts to decrease, revealing a white background. When the Pokémon has opened its heart to a major level, it will obtain one of the following:
==Heart Gauge progress==
* Checkable [[Nature]]
{{incomplete|section|Can (somewhat purified) Shadow Pokemon gain EVs in XD?<!--They can't in Colo.--> Can a Shadow Pokemon actually gain friendship in XD?}}
* Regained move(s)
The Heart Gauge is split into five equal bars. When a Shadow Pokémon is first [[snag]]ged, all five bars are full. In the same way that two Pokémon with a "full" HP bar may actually have different amounts of HP, so too may two different Shadow Pokémon with full Heart Gauges have a different absolute number underlying their Heart Gauges. The size of a given Shadow Pokémon's full Heart Gauge can be seen on the [[list of Shadow Pokémon]]. All other things equal, this means that a Shadow Pokémon with a bigger full Heart Gauge number will take longer to fully open its heart than a Shadow Pokémon with a smaller number will.
* Ability to earn experience and gain [[Effort values|effort points]] which are applied after purification


The Heart Gauge is affected by several factors, such as:
A Shadow Pokémon also starts out with its [[Nature]] hidden, only Shadow moves usable (one in Colosseum, two to four in XD), and unable to gain [[experience]] or [[friendship]]. As the Pokémon opens its heart to the player, the gauge decreases, and as the gauge passes certain milestones, some of the restrictions the Pokémon started with become undone.
* Being in the player's Party
* Using [[Cologne|scents]]
* Battling with the Pokémon
**Calling to the Pokémon in [[Reverse Mode]] or [[Hyper Mode]]
* Being placed in the Purification Chamber (Pokémon XD only)


When the value of the gauge reaches 0, it will glow and is ready for purification. After being purified, the Pokémon becomes a normal Pokémon and gains a ribbon. All experience gained through battles as a Shadow Pokémon will also be awarded.

The Pokémon only regains its first and final move after undergoing the purification ceremony. The Pokémon also gains a Ribbon and any experience and friendship it accrued while it was a Shadow Pokémon.


==The {{p|Lugia}} factor==
==Opening a Shadow Pokémon's heart==
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], [[Shadow Lugia|XD001]]'s Heart Gauge is fully closed until it is placed in the Purification Chamber with all nine chambers being at max tempo. The Heart Gauge will automatically open and XD001 can be purified. However, if Lugia is taken out before being purified, then Lugia's Heart Gauge will close completely.
{{incomplete|section|Appropriate details for the Purification Chamber}}
There are several ways in which to open a Pokémon's heart.
* Send the Pokémon into battle
* Call the Pokémon out of Hyper Mode or Reverse Mode in battle
* Walking, every 256 steps, while the Pokémon is in the player's [[party]]
* Walking, every 256 steps, while the Pokémon is in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} (Pokémon Colosseum only)
* Use [[Cologne|Scents]]
* Place the Pokémon in the Purification Chamber (Pokémon XD only)
The walking events run on a counter that is unique to each individual Shadow Pokémon. This means that, for these events, a Shadow Pokémon may open its heart at a different time than when all Pokémon gain friendship, and two Shadow Pokémon may open their hearts at different times.
 
The event that occurred and the Shadow Pokémon's Nature combine to affect the amount by which a Pokémon's Heart Gauge decreases, as described in the sections below. These amounts also differ between Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD. On average, the effects in XD are weaker than those in Colosseum; on the other hand, the average size of a full Heart Gauge for a Shadow Pokémon is also smaller in XD than in Colosseum.
 
In the case of Scents, the Scent used further affects the amount by which the Heart Gauge decreases. The Joy Scent multiplies the appropriate value below by 1, the Excite Scent multiplies it by 2, and the Vivid Scent multiplies it by 3.
 
In short, the actions with the potential for the strongest effects are: calling a Pokémon out of Hyper Mode or Reverse Mode, walking while a Pokémon is in the Day Care, and using a Vivid Scent. The absolute lowest effect of these is stronger than the absolute lowest effect of other actions, and their absolute strongest effect is stronger than that of any other action.

==={{p|Lugia}}===
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], [[Shadow Lugia]]'s Heart Gauge is fully closed until it is placed in the Purification Chamber with all nine chambers at max tempo. When this is done, the Heart Gauge will automatically open and Lugia can be purified. However, if Lugia is taken out before being purified, its Heart Gauge will again close completely.
