83: that is the number of creatures you can snag in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. And what Pokémon! You will come across many rare creatures, such as Chansey or Tauros, but also the highly coveted Lugia. To snag them all, you will need patience and courage, because Cipher takes no prisoners. So, as tradition has it: catch ’em all!

The list of Shadow Pokémon, found in the Cipher Key Lair and added to the P★DA.

How to read this list

  • The Pokémon are sorted in the order in which you catch them, which is the order of the P★DA list.
  • The “Shadow moves” column gives the Pokémon’s moves while it is in the Shadow state; the last column gives the special move it recovers once purified.
  • A Shadow Pokémon that gets knocked out is not lost: Miror B. picks it up and pits it against you later (see his second chances).

The Pokémon HQ Lab and Gateon Port (Nos. 1 to 3)

The first three Shadow Pokémon are caught at the start of the adventure: the spy’s Teddiursa at the Pokémon HQ Lab, then two others in Gateon Port. See the corresponding walkthrough chapter.
