The '''Snag Machine''' (Japanese: '''スナッチマシン''' ''Snatch Machine'') is a machine designed by [[Cipher]] for [[Snagging]] a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Pokémon. It is used by the main characters in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] for snagging [[Shadow Pokémon]] in order to be [[Purification|purified]]. The Snag Machine was originally developed by Cipher and then given to [[Team Snagem]] in exchange for the snagging of high grade {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to be turned into Shadow Pokémon.

The first incarnations of the machines look like orange vending machines with arms protruding from their sides, in addition to wheels. They store their own [[Poké Ball]]s and convert them into [[Snag Ball]]s internally. It is believed that they act autonomously since neither showed any signs of a control box or control panel. At the beginning of Pokémon Colosseum, both were destroyed, along with the [[Snagem Hideout]], by [[Wes]]. Near the end of the game, Team Snagem attempted to bring them back into use, but they were disabled by Wes yet again.

Near the end of the game, Team Snagem spreads a rumor claiming that they wish to bring this model back into use, but it's revealed to be a trap meant to lure Wes into their hands (as they admit that there's no repairing the damage he did to it).


The second version is much smaller, being able to be carried by a single person. It consists of a shoulder pad like unit with a spiraling wire that is attached to a concave cover about the size and shape of a rugby or gridiron ball. The shoulder pad is worn over the left shoulder, the wire coiled around the wearer's arm, and the concave cover worn over the wearer's hand. This version does not store or carry its own Poké Balls. For a regular Poké Ball to be converted into a Snag Ball, the wearer must hold an empty Poké Ball in his/her left hand while wearing the Snag Machine.  When the Ball is thrown, the Snag Machine turns it into a Snag Ball. At the beginning of Pokémon Colosseum, Wes steals this machine when he destroys the Snagem Hideout.
