Guide to defeating Rider Nelis and snagging the fast Shadow Sneasel in Pokémon Colosseum. Learn strategies for Corsola, Seviper, and Loudred.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to the subway station after defeating Venus.
  2. 2
    Enter the train and exit to find the Subway Key and U-Disk.
  3. 3
    Use the Subway Key to travel to the station below the Mystery Lab.
  4. 4
    Defeat the two Cipher goons and pick up the Maingate Key from the rubble.
  5. 5
    Return to The Under via the subway.
  6. 6
    The elevator to the Colosseum is now operational, but the high-level Pokémon are not recommended at this point.
  7. 7
    The U-Disk is not the ticket to the lab; it's the second Time Flute.
  8. 8
    Consider using the Time Flute on Suicune or saving it for a future Pokémon.
  9. 9
    Save your game before the next series of trainer battles.
  10. 10
    You will face four trainers, each with a Shadow Pokémon, as you descend a spiraling staircase.
  11. 11
    Trainer Battle: Hunter Frena
    • Opponents: Teddiursa Lv37, Shroomish Lv35, Jigglypuff Lv36, Shadow Gligar Lv43 (#22/48)
  12. 12
    Strategy: Use Suicune's Shadow Rush to lower Gligar's HP and shadow gauge. Hypnosis can also be useful.
  13. 13
    Trainer Battle: Chaser Liaks
    • Opponents: Kirlia Lv37, Roselia Lv38, Gloom Lv38, Shadow Stantler Lv43 (#23/48)
  14. 14
    Strategy: This is the toughest of the four. Use Shadow Rush carefully. Consider Surf if you have it, as its power is split with two targets. Stantler also has Take Down. Put it to sleep to prevent self-KO.
  15. 15
    In the left-side exit, find two Hyper Potions and two Timer Balls.
  16. 16
    Trainer Battle: Bodybuilder Lonia
    • Opponents: Octillery Lv38, Masquerain Lv38, Dunsparce Lv39, Shadow Piloswine Lv43 (#24/48)
  17. 17
    Strategy: These Pokémon are not too tough. Avoid using Fire Blast on Piloswine. Put it to sleep, then wear it down with Shadow Rush or Bite. Reflecting with Noctowl can also help.
  18. 18
    In the upper-right corner of the bottom floor, find a chest with 4 Ultra Balls.
  19. 19
    Save your game before the final trainer battle in this area.
  20. 20
    Trainer Battle: Rider Nelis
    • Opponents: Corsola Lv41, Seviper Lv40, Loudred Lv41, Shadow Sneasel Lv43 (#25/48)
  21. 21
    Strategy: Seviper can poison your team, so be prepared to cure it. Sneasel is very fast and uses Shadow Rush. Carefully lower its HP with Bite, aiming for flinches. Putting it to sleep is recommended, but watch out for Icy Wind which lowers Speed. If its HP is low and it's asleep, it should be catchable with Ultra Balls.
Tips
  • Save your game after successfully snagging each Shadow Pokémon.
  • Timer Balls might be useful in upcoming battles.
  • Be prepared to cure poison status from Seviper.
  • Sneasel is one of the fastest Shadow Pokémon; prioritize speed and status conditions.
  • Snagged Shadow Sneasel (#25/48)
  • Experience points and P$ from defeating Rider Nelis.
