Guide through Kaminko's House in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness! Defeat Robo Groudon, find Battle CDs, and upgrade your Scooter.

Alright, so you've made it to Kaminko's House! This is a pretty important stop. When you first arrive, Dr. Kaminko himself will come out and give you a chance to leave. Don't bail now – you're about to see something wild!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When Dr. Kaminko offers you the chance to leave, say no! He'll then announce that it's time for his ultimate Robo Pokemon to show up. This is where Kaminko Aide Chobin steps in, controlling the Robo Groudon. He's got a couple of Pokémon with him: L26 Sunkern and L26 Gyarados. The Robo Groudon team is L26 Sunflora, L26 Gyarados, L26 Hoppip, and L26 Tropius. Chobin's gotten a bit stronger, but don't sweat it too much; he shouldn't give you too much trouble.
  2. 2
    After you defeat Robo Groudon Chobin, both he and Dr. Kaminko will finally realize you're the Main Character. You'll then exchange P*DA numbers with Chobin.
  3. 3
    Head to the right from where you are to find the basement. Here, you'll need to ride the cranes and search the chests. You're looking for Battle CD 23 and Jovi's Diary. Make sure to check Jovi's Diary regularly as you keep playing, because it gets updated with new entries as you progress.
  4. 4
    Next, go into Kaminko's office and take the elevator. This will lead you to Makan. After you grab a Rare Candy from him, chat with Makan. He's going to modify your Scooter so it can handle desert terrain. This upgrade is key because it means you can now travel to the S.S. Libra!
  5. 5
    With your scooter upgraded, you can now access new areas in Dr. Kaminko's House where you can find Battle CDs 05, 11, 29, and 23.
  6. 6
    Just a heads-up: Regular Chobin will re-match you every single time you decide to come back to Kaminko's House.
  7. 7
    Also, keep in mind that Ultra Balls and Hyper Potions are now available at most Poke Marts. Stock up!
Tips
