Learn how to defeat the Shadow Seel and Cipher Admin Snattle in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. Get tips on Pokémon types and strategies to win.

Alright, you've made it to the Shadow Seel! Get ready, 'cause Cipher Admin Snattle is about to get real mad and attack you.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Lanturn (LV26, Water/Electric): Weak to Grass-type moves.
• Quagsire (LV26, Water/Ground): Weak to Grass-type moves.
• Metang (LV28, Steel/Psychic): Weak to Fire or Ground-type moves.
• Castform (LV27, Normal): Not particularly strong against anything, but doesn't resist much either.
• Lunatone (LV25+, Rock/Psychic): This one might give you a bit of trouble, so be prepared.

Phases:

1. Cipher Admin Snattle's Pokémon: You'll face his team one by one.
2. Shadow Seel: After his main team, you'll likely face the Shadow Seel itself.

Strategy:

• For Lanturn and Quagsire, spam Grass-type moves. They're super effective and will knock them out quickly.
• Metang can be a pain, but Fire or Ground-type attacks will do the trick.
• Castform is pretty much a non-issue, so don't worry too much about it.
• Lunatone is the real challenge here. Keep an eye on its Psychic and Rock attacks, and try to hit it hard with its weaknesses if you can identify them.
• Once you defeat Snattle and his Pokémon, he'll be upset but he's bought Gorigan enough time. After some dialogue, he leaves.
• Marcia and Cameran caught the whole thing on video, and then they head back to Pyrite.
• Don't forget to pick up the Elevator Key from the ground where Snattle was standing.
• Head back to the Pre-Gym and go to Justy's control panel on the far right. Insert the Elevator Key to go down to the basement.
• Mayor Trest will introduce himself. Explain what's been going on.
• Head back upstairs to the main floor of the Pre-Gym. Justy will get your P*DA number and mention seeing people in the desert.
• As you leave the Pre-Gym, an old lady and her granddaughter will thank you and let you know the Day Care in Agate Village is now open.
• Go back down to the Pre-Gym's basement to grab Battle CD 35. Then, visit Mayor Trest's house to receive the EXP. Share – nice!
• Your map will update with a new location, so head there.
