How To Shiny Hunt In Pokémon Colosseum

How To Shiny Hunt In Pokémon Colosseum

Pokémon Colosseum offers one of the most unique methods of hunting Shiny Pokémon, and this guide will teach players how to set up a hunt.

One of the most obscure games to hunt Shiny Pokémon in is Pokémon Colosseum for the Nintendo GameCube, and it can also be one of the most confusing games to hunt in. This is because the player doesn’t acquire Pokémon the way they would normally in the mainline Pokémon titles. Shiny Pokémon also appear differently in Pokémon Colosseum than they do in other titles, and this guide will teach players how to Shiny hunt in Pokémon Colosseum.

Pokémon Colosseum is a spinoff title released exclusively on the GameCube in 2004. It covers three generations of Pokémon but only allows the player to capture 61 different species of Pokémon from Gen 1 – 3. Each of these Pokémon can appear Shiny, but it does take some effort to set up each hunt. This guide won’t cover how to Shiny hunt each Pokémon but will provide a general overview on how a Shiny hunt in Pokémon Colosseum should be set up.

Shiny Hunting In Pokémon Colosseum

First, it is important to note how trainers catch Pokémon in Pokémon Colosseum. Like normal Pokémon games, players will need to purchase or find Pokéballs in order to catch Pokémon, but there aren’t any wild Pokémon that a player can encounter. Instead, the player can only catch Shadow Pokémon which belongs to enemy trainers. In normal Pokémon games, players can’t catch other trainers’ Pokémon, but in Pokémon Colosseum, that is the only way the player can expand their team. Here is a list of Shadow Pokémon that can be caught in Pokémon Colosseum:

  • Makuhita
  • Bayleef
  • Quilava
  • Croconaw
  • Misdreavus
  • Slugma
  • Noctowl
  • Flaffy
  • Skiploom
  • Quagsire
  • Furret
  • Yanma
  • Remoraid
  • Mantyne
  • Qwilfish
  • Dunsparce
  • Meditite
  • Swablu
  • Sudowoodo
  • Hitmontop
  • Entei
  • Ledian
  • Suicune
  • Gligar
  • Sneasel
  • Piloswine
  • Stantler
  • Ariados
  • Aipom
  • Murkrow
  • Forretress
  • Granbull
  • Vibrava
  • Raikou
  • Sunflora
  • Delibird
  • Heracross
  • Skarmory
  • Miltank
  • Absol
  • Houndoom
  • Tropius
  • Metagross
  • Tyranitar
  • Smeargle
  • Ursaring
  • Shuckle
  • Togetic
  • Ho-oh

A player will know when a Pokémon is a Shadow Pokémon because it will appear with a shadowy aura in battle and a line of dialogue will alert the player that it can be caught. However, Shadow Pokémon will not appear Shiny when thrown out into battle by the enemy trainers. This is because whether or not a Pokémon is Shiny is not determined until after it has been caught by the player. This means that players will likely have to catch the same Shadow Pokémon over and over to find its Shiny form.

Once a player has caught a Shadow Pokémon it can’t be caught again, so players will have to reset their game every time they encounter a non-Shiny. To effectively set up a hunt, players will need to find and use the closest save terminal to the trainer that has the Pokémon they are trying to hunt. This will be the player’s restore point every time they have to reset. Once saved, the player can then battle the trainer with the target Pokémon. The player will then need to catch the Pokémon and check if it is Shiny. If it is not, they can press the reset button on the GameCube and repeat these steps. Note that Hitmontop is the only Shadow Pokémon that can appear Shiny when used by the opponent, but that does not mean it will stay Shiny once it is caught.
