- WANDERER MIROR B.

Learn how to track down and battle Wanderer Miror B. in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness to snag elusive Shadow Pokemon. Tips for the Miror Radar and his annoying team!

So, you've been battling some Shadow Pokemon and one of them decided to bail? Don't sweat it! If a Shadow Pokemon fled from you, you'll get another shot at snagging it from the notorious Wanderer Miror B. He's a bit of a recurring nuisance, popping up in a few key spots: Pyrite Town Colosseum, Realgam Tower Colosseum, and the three Poke Spots. You can snag one Shadow Pokemon per encounter at the Colosseums, but if you catch him at a Poke Spot, you can snag *two*! When Miror B. shows up at a Colosseum, he'll take the place of one of the regular trainers. The best part? You have unlimited chances to snag his Shadow Pokemon. My biggest tip here is to save your game right before you challenge him at a Colosseum. If you accidentally knock out a Shadow Pokemon instead of snagging it, you can just reload your save and try again without waiting for him to reappear.

Now, how do you actually find this guy? You'll need the Miror Radar. Just head into your Key Items menu and check it. At first, it might say things like "There is no response at all...", "There isn't much of a response...", or "It's responding just a little!". If you get one of these messages, don't panic! Just walk around the area you're in for about 15-20 minutes. You can speed this up by just spinning the Control Stick in a circle. Keep an eye on that Radar, and eventually, it should ping with "Oh! Miror B. may have appeared!". When you check it again, it'll tell you "Miror B. seems to be at [name of location]." But be quick! You've only got a limited time to get to him before he vanishes. Sometimes, the Radar might point you to a Poke Spot, but you'll only find Trudly and Folly there. If that happens, just leave the Poke Spot, wander around for another 15-20 minutes, and the Radar should pick him up again.

Miror B.'s team is designed to be super annoying. Expect a lot of Pokemon that love to use moves like Leech Seed and Fake Out – they're total buzzkills! He also likes to set up weather combos, like Sunny Day with Solarbeam or Rain Dance with Hydro Pump, really leaning into abilities like Chlorophyll, Rain Dish, and Swift Swim. While his team at the Colosseums is random, the Pokemon he uses at the Poke Spots are always the same. Some examples of his Poke Spot teams are listed below.
