Snagem Hideout: Difference between revisions

'''Snagem Hideout''' (Japanese: '''スナッチ団のアジト''' ''Team Snatch Hideout'') is a location in [[Orre]]. It is the main base of the criminal syndicate [[Team Snagem]]. According to an early news report in [[Pokémon Colosseum]], it is located in a part of Orre known as [[Eclo Canyon]].

At the start of Pokémon Colosseum, the base is partly destroyed by [[Wes]] in a series of explosions, destroying a large [[Snag Machine]] and wrecking much of the base. [[Gonzap]]'s office seems to be the least affected area. Later in the game, some remnants of both [[Cipher]] and Team Snagem, as well some other Trainers, gather at the Hideout. A {{pkmn2|Shadow}} {{p|Smeargle}} and a Shadow {{p|Ursaring}} can be snagged here from two Team Snagem members after defeating the boss of Cipher.

In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], the Snagem Hideout is still in severe disrepair from Wes's sabotage five years ago, but is still in use by Team Snagem. [[Michael]] goes here to retrieve his Snag Machine from Gonzap after it gets stolen from him by Snagem members.

After defeating [[Evice]] and [[Credits|completing the main storyline]], [[Wes]] returns to the Snagem Hideout to defeat the remaining [[Team Snagem]] members and snag more of their [[Shadow Pokémon]]. Wes's ultimate goal is to defeat [[Gonzap]] to finish his quest to stop [[Cipher]] and [[Team Snagem]] for good. After his defeat, Gonzap retreats and is not seen again until [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

===In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness===

The {{player}} goes to the hideout after receiving intelligence regarding its location from [[Hordel]], with the intent of retrieving his stolen [[Snag Machine]]. After walking through the entrance, he is attacked by [[Agrev]], who wants to see if the player has what it takes to join Team Snagem. As the player progresses, he finds that Team Snagem is holding a recruitment drive to find new members and restore Team Snagem to its former glory.

As the player approaches Gonzap's office, he battles another returning Snagem member from Colosseum, [[Biden]], who was one of the members the player met at the ruins of the [[S.S. Libra]]. After defeating him, the player proceeds to the office, where he overhears Gonzap yelling at [[Wakin]], complaining the Snag Machine is too small to fit his large arms. The two soon notice the player, and Wakin attacks. After fending his crony off, an impressed Gonzap tries to recruit the player into Team Snagem to take on [[Cipher]] together. He reveals his plan was to steal all of Cipher's Shadow Pokémon, causing it to collapse. When the player refuses, Gonzap offers to give back the Snag Machine if he can beat him.

The player defeats Gonzap, and as promised, the head of Team Snagem returns the Snag Machine to him, concluding that the two of them are fighting for the same goal. He also gives the player [[Gonzap's Key|a key]], which unlocks an item chest containing {{TM|30|Shadow Ball}}.

 

After [[Credits|completing the main storyline]], the Snagem Hideout can be entered two ways: through the hole in the front left wall or through the main entrance. Inside the building is an assortment of debris presumed to be from Wes' activities several years earlier. Entering through the main entrance the player is met by Agrev who mentions that Gonzap and Wakin came back but left again without informing him where they were headed. Past Agrev and to the right is a room with a Healing Machine in it and the door to continue on. Going through this door leads the player to an item box and the staircase to the second floor.  

 

On the second floor going south from the stairs, the hall forks. To the right leads the player to a set of stairs going back down and to the south leads to a staircase to the third floor.

Back on the first floor one finds a hallway going to the front of the building, a staircase back to the second floor and an item box behind that staircase. Following that staircase leads to what once was Gonzap's office but is now abandoned and an item box.

 

On the third floor are three Trainers and two item boxes and eventually back to the left entrance to the Snagem Hideout. On the way back outside there are three Trainers and two item boxes.
