Learn how to defeat Cipher Peon Silton in Pokémon Colosseum. This guide covers strategies and tips to overcome this early-game challenge and snag his Shadow Pokémon.
Alright, so you've made it to the first real roadblock: Cipher Peon Silton. He's guarding the path forward, and he's got a Shadow Pokémon with him, so this is your first real test of the snagging mechanic. Don't sweat it, though; he's not too tough once you know what you're doing.
Walkthrough
- 1Where: You'll find Silton right after you leave Outskirt Stand and enter the area leading to Phenac City. He's blocking the main path.
- 2What to do: You'll have to battle him. He's got a couple of Pokémon, and the main one you're worried about is his Shadow Rattata. Your goal is to weaken it enough to snag it.
- 3Why this way: If you don't defeat him, you can't progress further into the game. Snagging his Shadow Rattata is crucial for building your team and understanding how Shadow Pokémon work.
Tips
- Focus on weakening his non-Shadow Pokémon first. They're just there to wear you down.
- Once Silton sends out his Shadow Rattata, focus on reducing its HP without knocking it out. Remember, you need to snag it!
- Use your starter Pokémon, Eevee, or any other Pokémon you've caught that has decent attack power.
- If you accidentally knock out the Shadow Rattata, you'll have to restart the battle. So, be careful with your attacks!
- Once it's in the red, use a Poké Ball to attempt a snag. You might need a couple of tries, but it'll go down.
- You'll snag a Shadow Rattata.
- You'll be able to progress to Phenac City.
