'''Colress''' (Japanese: '''アクロマ''' ''Achroma'') is a Pokémon researcher and the second boss of [[Team Plasma]], appointed by [[Ghetsis]]. His goal is to discover the true way to draw out the strength of Pokémon. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
==In the core series games==
In {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, Colress is first encountered in [[Castelia Sewers]]. He is met again at [[Castelia City]], where he tells the player that he disagrees with the old [[Team Plasma]]'s goals to liberate Pokémon from humans. The player re-encounters Colress on {{rt|4|Unova}}, where several {{p|Crustle}} block the path. Colress uses his machine to drive the Crustle away and challenges the player to a battle. Colress is once again seen as a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], matched against the player in the final round of the tournament. He is later encountered on {{rt|22|Unova}}. Like usual, he talks to the player mostly about Team Plasma, as well as handing the player a [[Colress Machine]] required to get past the Crustle blocking the way inside [[Seaside Cave]].
Later on, during the battle against the new Team Plasma on the [[Plasma Frigate]] while at the [[Giant Chasm]], Colress is met at the helm of the ship, where he reveals that he joined Team Plasma to pursue and research the true strength of Pokémon. After he is defeated in battle, he allows access to [[Ghetsis]]'s room, wanting to see if the player can stop him.
After the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], Colress continues to dwell in the Plasma Frigate as it permanently docks at the [[P2 Laboratory]]; however, he and the other Team Plasma members have decided to put an end to their ambitions. Colress initially remains at the helm, where he can be battled again, giving the player a [[Master Ball]] once defeated. He will then move to the bow of the ship, where he will battle the player once per day.
While he does not appear in [[Pokémon X and Y]], Colress is [[List of cross-generational references|mentioned]] by a {{tc|Backpacker}} found on {{rt|10|Kalos}}, who says, "A few years back, this really strange dude named Colress told me that these big stones emit some kind of special energy."


{{incomplete|needs=info from Pokémon Sun and Moon}}
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], Colress appears on {{rt|8|Alola}} and gives the player {{TM|43|Flame Charge}}. After the player becomes the first [[Alola]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, Colress will reappear on the same route and give the player the {{p|Genesect}} [[Drive]]s. He also participates as a Trainer in the [[Battle Tree]].

'''Colress''' (Japanese: '''アクロマ''' ''Achroma'') is a Pokémon researcher and the new boss of [[Team Plasma]], appointed by [[Ghetsis]]. His goal is to discover the true way to draw out the strength of Pokémon.


==In the games==
When he is first met, he tells the player that he is still conducting his research into the true power of Pokémon, but following the events of Black 2 and White 2, he now believes that the source of a Pokémon's true power is its bond with its Trainer. He is in Alola researching the [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}}, wondering if it can draw out the power of Pokémon more effectively than the [[Mega Ring]]. He also expresses interest in the [[Poké Pelago]].
===In Black 2 and White 2===
In Pokémon Black and White 2, Colress is first encountered in [[Castelia Sewers]]. He is met again at [[Castelia City]], where he tells the player that he disagrees with the old [[Team Plasma]]'s goals to liberate Pokémon from humans. The player re-encounters Colress on {{rt|4|Unova}}, where several {{p|Crustle}} block the path. Colress uses his machine to drive the Crustle away and challenges the player to a battle. Colress is once again seen as a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], matched against the player in the final round of the tournament. He is later encountered on {{rt|22|Unova}}. Like usual, he talks to the player mostly about Team Plasma.


Later on, during the battle against the new Team Plasma on the [[Plasma Frigate]] while at the [[Giant Chasm]], Colress is seen in a chamber, where he reveals that he joined Team Plasma to pursue and research the true strength of Pokémon. After he is defeated in battle, he allows access to [[Ghetsis]]'s chamber, wanting to see if the player can stop him.
In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], Colress's role is slightly expanded, and he is revealed to be one of the people the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] reached out to for help with {{p|Necrozma}}. In response, Colress created the [[N-Solarizer]] and [[N-Lunarizer]], based on his {{p|Kyurem|prior experience}} with [[Pokémon fusion]]. He gives the player both devices after witnessing them capture Necrozma on [[Mount Lanakila]]. The player can also visit him in his hotel room at [[Tide Song Hotel]] before he is officially introduced. However, he's only talking to himself and doesn't seem to notice the player. During the games' end credits, he is seen visiting [[Aether Paradise]].


After the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], Colress continues to dwell in the Plasma Frigate; however, he and the other Team Plasma members have decided to put an end to their ambitions. Colress remains in the chamber when he first met the player on the Plasma Frigate; there, he can then battle the player and will give the player a [[Master Ball]] once defeated. He will then move to the stern of the Frigate, where he will battle the player once per day.
Colress also has a role in the battle against [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] in [[Episode RR]]. While the player and [[Lillie]] work to defeat the bosses of Team Rainbow Rocket, [[Wicke]] contacts Colress to enlist his aid. He follows the player and Lillie using an invisibility device he invented, and returns the bosses to their {{pkmn|multiverse|original worlds}} as they are defeated. Though [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] are seen being warped away, Colress does not reveal himself until the player defeats Ghetsis, who subsequently takes Lillie as a hostage. Recognizing that this Ghetsis is not the one he knows, he declares that he opposes this Ghetsis's goals simply because he hates Ghetsis in all cases, then dispatches him back to his own world with a prototype device known as the '''Colress Machine No. 1102''' (Japanese: '''アクロママシーン　１１０２{{tt|号|ごう}}''' ''{{tt|Achroma|Colress}} Machine No. 1102''). Colress allows the player and Lillie to move on and battle [[Giovanni]] to rescue [[Lusamine]] while he works to untangle the dimensions coming together to create [[Team Rocket's Castle]]. By the time the player defeats Giovanni, Colress manages to revert the castle back to being Lusamine's mansion.

{{main|Colress (Masters)}}
; Castelia Sewers
Colress, in his {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2 and White 2}} design, forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Klinklang}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Colress became a playable sync pair on November 17, 2022.
: ''"You there! That was an excellent demonstration of battling. The way you brought out the power of your Pokémon against an opponent like Team Plasma… Astounding. Simply astounding. Interesting as well. I see…"''


; Castelia City's Central Plaza
Colress first appeared as an NPC during the [[Unova]] chapter of [[Villain Arc]]. Colress has also made notable appearances in one of the game's Main Stories, the Villain Arc.
:''"Oh, it's you again! If it's not an inconvenience, may I have a look at your Pokémon?"''
:: '''Yes''': ''"I appreciate your cooperation!"''
:: '''No''': ''"Are you sure? But this is for science."''
:''"Oh! How interesting! Your <Pokémon> seems to display more self-confidence than others of the same species. And you're a Trainer with merely three Badges… Fantastic! I'm not sure how you're doing it, but you're bringing out the power of your Pokémon!"''
:''"Oh, excuse me! I am a scientist. My name is Colress. The theme of my research is: "Bringing out the power of Pokémon." Bringing out the power of Pokémon! Is it possible to bring out their maximum power through the bond they share with their Trainers? Or is there some other, different method? I'd like to test my theory by battling with you. Do you find this acceptable?"'' (regardless of answer) ''"Either way, I'll be waiting on Route 4. It's just beyond here!"''

: ''"Those Crustle… Were they just lying here, out of energy, with their boulders on their backs?"''
: ''"Team Plasma said we should recognize the potential in Pokémon and liberate them from humans. I disagree. Conversely, it should be humans who bring out the hidden potential in Pokémon!"''
: ''"Now that I think of it, I never asked your name. <Player>… I'll remember that name. Well then, I will test you to see if you're a Trainer who can bring out the hidden potential of Pokémon!"''

:: '''Yes''': ''"I see. If that's the case, you must have the power to protect your own Pokémon! Being protected by Pokémon alone doesn't make you a Trainer! It's because Trainers are strong, because they care about their Pokémon, that these Pokémon can also be strong!"''

: ''"This is a prototype of my device that energizes Pokémon! It doesn't work on battling Pokémon, but you may find it useful for something! Well then, I wish you and your Pokémon a safe journey!"''
: ''"Now that I think about it! In the Seaside Cave on Route 21, I saw something that reminded me of when we met on Route 4."''
 
;Plasma Frigate
* Before battle
: ''"Welcome! I was asked by an acquaintance to help with his research. What I desire is to bring out the entirety in Pokémon potential! If I can accomplish that, I don't care what it takes!"'' (walks a few steps forward) ''"If it means the strength must be brought out by the interactions between Pokémon and Trainers, then so be it! If it means you have to use a merciless approach, like Team Plasma's, and force out all of the Pokémon's power, then so be it! And yes, if the entire world is destroyed as a result, then so be it..."'' (steps forward off the stairs) ''"That aside! The reason I have been traveling all over Unova and battling many Pokémon Trainers is because I was testing the viability of this approach to bringing out the full strength of Pokémon. In that respect, you've done an amazing job. Well now! Tell me if you have the answer I desire or not! If you're ready, come at me!"''
 
* When spoken to
: ''"It looks like you're ready, then! OK! Let us begin!"''
 
* First non-KO HP loss
: ''"Come on! More! Bring out your Pokémon's power!"''
 
* Sending out last Pokémon
: ''"I'm more psyched than I've ever been! I can still go on!"''
 
* After being defeated
: ''"So this is what it means to draw forth the power hidden in your Pokémon!"''
: ''"So strong! You're a very strong Trainer indeed! So let me ask you this! Are you thinking of reaching even higher heights by understanding each other as Pokémon and Trainer?"''
:: '''Yes''': ''"I see... To me, that is an ideal answer. To think! That's what you actually believe! You bring out the power of your Pokémon with respect and love!"''
:: '''No''': ''"I see... Is that answer my truth? Even if that's your answer, don't give up! The reason you're so strong is that you treat your Pokémon with respect and love!"''
:(steps backward) ''"Excuse me for repeating myself, but if it will make Pokémon stronger, I don't care what it takes! If interacting with Pokémon can increase their powers only to a certain point, then their full strength must be brought out using a scientific approach. Even one without a conscience."'' (turns back to player) ''"But you have shown me the potential of your approach. To me, whether Team Plasma wins or whether you win will decide how the relationship between people and Pokémon should be! So where will this be settled? Step on the warp panel on the other side of the room where Kyurem is being held. Good luck in your battle!"''
 
;Plasma Frigate (post-game)
* Before battle (first rematch)
: ''"Could I say that you're curious for coming clear out here?" ''
: ''"I dissolved Team Plasma. The ones who are left here are deciding what they want to do. I would like to have them decide on their own! There are far more questions in this world that don't have any answers! Well then... Please show me you and your Pokémon's strength once again!" ''
 
* Upon first non-KO HP loss
: ''"Come! Satisfy my urge to battle!"''
* Sending out last Pokémon
: ''"Marvelous! I shall believe in my Pokémon!"''
* Last Pokémon at critical health
: ''"If-if I'd believed more, could I have drawn out my Pokémon's power?"''
* When defeated
: ''"The bonds between us... Does the fact that we can't see them make them even more real?"''
* After being defeated
: ''"In Pokémon battles where you can't afford to make a mistake, the true nature of the Trainer's personality becomes clear. I see! If Trainers believe in their Pokémon to the fullest extreme, as you do, their Pokémon partners will also give everything they have! So that must be the answer I've been looking for. Still, I'm glad you won. For one thing, I detested Ghetsis from the start!"''
: ''"Take this with you! This Master Ball can catch any kind of Pokémon! Ghetsis was saving it, but you'll probably put it to better use! "''
: ''"If you'd like, please have a Pokémon battle with me again! Indeed, I'm having trouble deciding what to do next as well."''
 
* Before battle (second rematch onwards)
: ''"{{tt|Even the same Pokémon can exhibit different strengths depending on the Trainer! It's so interesting! Very, very interesting!|First time only}} Well now! Give me but a moment of your time!" ''
:: '''No''': ''"And I went to all the trouble to come here, too... You're an unkind person."''
:: '''Yes''': ''"The invisible force that exists between you and your Pokémon... This time I will determine what it is!"''
 
* After being defeated
: ''"The things you and your Pokémon have seen and felt... Do they belong to you and you alone? If you would, please have another Pokémon battle with me. By facing you, I feel as if I can see what I should do from now on."''

[[File:Colress anime.png|thumb|250px|Colress in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Colress debuted in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', conducting experiments with [[wild Pokémon]] in an attempt to bring out their true strength. From his base in an abandoned observatory outside of [[Floccesy Town]], he used a large machine to generate electromagnetic waves that resonated with small devices on the wild Pokémon's foreheads, increasing their aggression and attack power while also rendering them subservient to Team Plasma's commands. Unfortunately for the villains, the mind-control device's EM waves also leaked into the surrounding wilderness, driving the local Pokémon to attack Floccesy Town and revealing their presence in the area. When {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Looker]] arrived in the observatory, Colress released his mind-controlled Pokémon on them to test their strength. Impressed by their Pokémon's ability to match his brainwashed Pokémon, he planted one of his controlling devices on {{AP|Pikachu}}, forcing him to fight his Trainer. However, Ash's encouragement allowed Pikachu to fight against the EM waves, eventually causing the device to break and freeing Pikachu, much to Colress's amazement. Before he could gather further data, {{TRT}} showed up, using one of their miniature robots to steal Colress's research data from his computer before quickly reciting their {{motto}} and making an escape with their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]]. With the mind-controlled Pokémon freed, Colress and the {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s he had with him retreated, destroying the observatory with a self-destruct mechanism to get rid of all possible evidence.

In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', it was revealed that he had upgraded his Pokémon-controlling machine with his remaining research data. Instead of emitting radio waves to activate separate receivers on its targets, the machine now fired a narrow energy beam which instantly brought any Pokémon it hit under Team Plasma's control. Using this machine, Colress took control of a {{p|Haxorus}}, which he sent rampaging in a city. When Ash and his friends arrived and sent their Pokémon to stop Haxorus, Colress used his machine to take control of [[Iris's Dragonite]], giving the heroes a lot more trouble to deal with. Suddenly Team Rocket appeared, attempting to steal Colress's machine. A battle between [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} and {{TP|James|Amoonguss}} and [[Aldith]]'s {{p|Liepard}} then took place, during which one of Liepard's {{m|Shadow Ball}}s accidentally hit the machine, breaking it and freeing Haxorus and Dragonite from his control. Realizing that they were at a disadvantage, Colress and the Plasma Grunts retreated.

Colress briefly appeared in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]'' with Aldith, discussing Team Plasma's plans with [[Ghetsis]] on a videophone call.

In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', {{TRT}} invaded his newest laboratory and drew his security &ndash; consisting of Aldith, [[Barret]] and some other Plasma Grunts &ndash; into a trap in the woods. Once Colress was alone, Meowth approached him and attempted to convince him to join Team Rocket. Colress refused, but offered to allow Meowth to participate in an experiment to increase his strength. Meowth agreed, having undergone training to resist the mind control device. However, Colress still managed to take control of Meowth, and ordered him to attack Jessie and James. Using {{TP|Jessie|Frillish}} and {{TP|James|Amoonguss}}, they managed to snap him out of it before escaping. Later, Colress was seen with his Grunts reporting to Ghetsis, who revealed information about the Light Stone to them.

In ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', Colress appeared with the rest of Team Plasma to commence their operation at the {{an|White Ruins}}. While Aldith, Barret and many other Grunts ambushed the workers at the site, Colress used his perfected machine to seize control of the [[Cedric Juniper's assistants|workers' Pokémon]] and turn them on their Trainers. In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', he also took control of Pikachu again, forcing N to surrender the Light Stone to Team Plasma in exchange for Ash's safety.

In ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', aiding Ghetsis in taking control of the awakened {{p|Reshiram}}. When Ash and Pikachu tried to stop him, he used his machine on Pikachu yet again. However, this time Pikachu was able to fight against its control, and &ndash; together with Reshiram &ndash; destroyed Colress's machine once and for all, thus freeing the controlled Pokémon. Later Colress and the other Team Plasma members were arrested by Looker, thus bringing the team down. As [[Officer Jenny]] took Team Plasma into custody, Colress mentioned his next project will be a device that allows Pokémon to communicate with people.

====Character====
Colress is seemingly polite, but he is emotionally distant. Despite openly aiding [[Team Plasma]] and refusing an offer to leave them for [[Team Rocket]], he wasn't interested in the team's goals. Rather, he was more enthusiastic about the limitless inventions he could create and test to manipulate Pokémon. He wants to "bring out a Pokémon's true power", which he believes is anger.

[[File:Hood Man.png|thumb|left|170px|Colress as the Hood Man]]
Colress appeared as an antagonist, helping Team Plasma with their goal of Pokémon liberation. Colress' first appearance was as a competitor in the Unova Pokémon League, where he was disguised as the cloak-bearing '''Hood Man''' (Japanese: '''フードマン''' ''Hood Man''). He managed to sneak in without having earned any of the eight Unova Gym Badges. After battling his way through Victory Road, he eventually made it into the top 8. In the quarterfinals match, he was paired up against [[Marlon]]. Although Marlon managed to disable the moves of Colress' {{p|Beheeyem}}, Colress came out on top and advanced to the next round. After leaving, he noted that participating in the League and observing powerful Trainers would help him in his research. In the semifinals, Colress faced his next opponent, {{adv|Cheren}}. Although Cheren initially struggled due to his {{TP|Cheren|Snivy}}'s disappointing strength, he switched it out for his {{p|Unfezant}} and quickly defeated Colress's Beheeyem with a {{m|U-turn}}.
====={{MangaArc|Black & White}}=====
Colress debuted in ''[[PS512|Hallway Hijinks]]'', where he participated as a competitor in the {{un|Pokémon League}}. Disguised as the cloak-bearing '''Hood Man''' (Japanese: '''フードマン''' ''Hood Man''), he managed to sneak in without having earned any of the eight Unova Gym Badges. After battling his way through Victory Road, he eventually made it into the top 8.
 
In ''[[PS514|The Tournament Continues]]'', Colress faced [[Marlon]]. Although Marlon managed to disable the moves of Colress' {{p|Beheeyem}}, Colress came out on top and advanced to the next round. After leaving, he noted that participating in the League and observing powerful Trainers would help him in his research. In ''[[PS517|Something Suspicious]]'', Colress faced {{adv|Cheren}} in the semifinals. Although Cheren initially struggled due to his {{TP|Cheren|Snivy}}'s lack of strength, he switched it out for his {{p|Unfezant}} and quickly defeated Colress's Beheeyem with a {{m|U-turn}}.
 
In ''[[PS518|True Friends]]'', Colress and [[Zinzolin]] watched {{adv|Black}} and Cheren face each other in the finals. During the match, they talked about Zinzolin's theory that a cold heart was the best way to bring out a Pokémon's true strength. Although Zinzolin stated that his theory was correct, Colress noted that - in his battles - he was able to see varying styles from many strong Trainers that brought out their Pokémon's strength. When {{adv|White}} discovered that the two were affiliated with [[Team Plasma]], she attempted to expose them to everyone at the League. Although she was successful, Colress had his Beheeyem use {{m|Teleport}} to transport her to {{adv|N}}'s room inside his castle.
 
In ''[[PS520|Cold Hard Truth]]'', Team Plasma attacked the League, summoning [[N's Castle]] from the depths of the earth to surround the League building. Colress assisted in the invasion by using {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} to battle the [[Elite Four]]. His true intention was to discover the secret of how to transform the three into their {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Forces of Nature|Therian Formes}}. After discovering that he needed a special mirror, Colress bid farewell to the Elite Four and escaped.
 
In ''[[PS524|A Difficult Parting]]'', Colress used his {{p|Beheeyem}} to help [[Ghetsis]] escape after he was defeated by Black. With Beheeyem's power, Ghetsis caused Black to be sealed into the [[Light Stone]] before making his escape. Afterward, Ghetsis thanked Colress for his assistance with Team Plasma's plans and expressed interest in working with him again. Colress agreed, but on the condition that it didn't impede with his research.
 
====={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}=====
Eventually, Colress was made the new leader of Team Plasma in N's absence. In ''[[PS526|Mr. Perfect]]'', Colress attacked [[Aspertia City]] with {{TP|Blake|Genesect}} as a test-run of his [[Colress Machine]]. He was confronted by {{adv|Blake}} and {{adv|Looker}} of the [[International Police]]. After realizing that it was still wild, Blake used his {{TP|Blake|Dewott|Dewott}} to whittle down {{p|Genesect}}'s health enough for him to capture it. Defeated, Colress commended Blake's strength and left, revealing that he was made the new leader of Team Plasma and that Ghetsis was planning a comeback. Later, Colress met with Ghetsis on the [[Plasma Frigate]] and stated that they needed to find Zinzolin, who had been ignoring their calls.
 
In ''[[PS535|Angry Boy]]'', Colress confronted Zinzolin at the [[Cold Storage]], demanding to know why he had been refusing to answer. Zinzolin revealed that he managed to capture {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}}, the third Unova Legendary Dragon Pokémon. Colress praised Zinzolin for his success, but demanded that he hand Kyurem to him, angering Zinzolin into attacking. During the battle, Colress realized that Zinzolin's true intention was to have Kyurem fuse with {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}} through Absofusion. Following Kyurem's trail, Blake arrived at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] construction site, where he witnessed Thundurus and Landorus defeating Zinzolin. Upon spotting Blake, Colress used the [[Reveal Glass]] to turn Thundurus and Landorus into their Therian Formes.
 
In ''[[PS538|Therian Forme III]]'', Blake tried arresting the unconscious Zinzolin, only for him to be taken away by Colress, who wished to use his knowledge of Kyurem to Team Plasma's advantage. With the Colress Machine, Colress took control of Kyurem and commanded it to attack, but was stopped by Ghetsis, who appeared with the Plasma Frigate. Ghetsis had Kyurem loaded into a special room on the ship. Blake tried stopping them, but was attacked by the [[Shadow Triad]], allowing the Plasma Frigate to take off and fly through the air. The Plasma Frigate was flown to [[Castelia City]], where it froze several buildings and people with its special Kyurem-powered cannon. When the traitor to Team Plasma, [[Rood]], appeared, Ghetsis ordered Colress to capture the former Sage. Rood was saved by {{adv|Whitley}}, who pushed him out of the way, only to get captured herself. Annoyed that Rood managed to escape, Colress had Whitley locked in an empty cabin.


Later, when Cheren battled with {{adv|Black}}, Colress talked to [[Zinzolin]] about his theory that a cold heart was the best way to bring out a Pokémon's true strength. Although Zinzolin stated that his theory was correct, Colress noted that - in his battles - he was able to see varying styles from many strong Trainers that brought out their Pokémon's strength. When {{adv|White}} discovered that the two were actually members of Team Plasma, she attempted to expose them to everyone at the League. Although she was successful, Colress had his Beheeyem use {{m|Teleport}} to transport her to [[N]]'s room inside his [[N's Castle|castle]].
In ''[[PS540|Flying Ship]]'', Whitley was broken out of her cabin by Blake, who teamed up with her to free Kyurem from Colress' control. They destroyed the chamber where Kyurem was kept, but it was empty, as the Plasma Frigate had already drained enough energy to freeze all of Unova. Colress had Kyurem freeze Blake and Whitley solid before commanding some Grunts to throw them into the ocean. Afterward, Colress realized that Kyurem appeared before Zinzolin because it was attracted to Reshiram and Zekrom's power when they awakened. He then speculated that because of Kyurem's power, Reshiram and Zekrom may return to Unova.


When Team Plasma made their attack on the Pokémon League and N's Castle rose from the ground, Colress returned to prevent the Elite Four from helping in the battle. There, he revealed that he had been given {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} and that he intended on battling the Elite Four to discover how to transform the three into their Therian Formes. He discovered that a special mirror was the key to transforming the three Pokémon. When Ghetsis was defeated by {{adv|Black}}, Colress rushed in to assist him. Using his {{p|Beheeyem}}, Colress freed Ghetsis, causing Black to be sealed into the [[Dragon Stones|Light Stone]], and Teleported himself and Ghetsis away. Afterwards, he talked to Ghetsis, who thanked him for his assistance. Ghetsis expressed a desire to work with him again, but Colress only agreed as long as it did not impede his research.
In ''[[PS542|N Returns]]'', Colress gave Ghetsis control over Kyurem so he could use it to battle N, who had appeared to stop them. Later, Ghetsis obtained the [[DNA Splicers]] and used them on Kyurem, who reverted Zekrom back into the [[Dark Stone]], trapping N inside with it. Kyurem absorbed the Dark Stone, transforming itself into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Kyurem|Black Kyurem}}. Reacting to Zekrom's absorption, the Light Stone reverted to Reshiram, freeing Black in the process. Black and White briefly fought Kyurem, but were distracted when N was suddenly ejected from the Dark Stone, allowing Ghetsis to launch an attack and escape. After being tossed aside by Ghetsis, Colress secretly took N aboard the Plasma Frigate, curious about his ability to hear the voices of Pokémon.
[[File:Kelden stricking Colress.png|thumb|250px|left|Colress being struck by Keldeo]]
[[File:Blake Colress Genesect.png|thumb|250px|Colress being chased by Blake]]
In ''[[PS545|Deduction Time]]'', Colress and Ghetsis followed Kyurem, who had started moving towards the [[Giant Chasm]] of its own free will. After arriving, Colress retook control of Kyurem and had it attack the Unova [[Pokédex holder]]s. When Kyurem stopped listening to Colress's commands, [[Rood]] appeared, revealing that a machine designed to counter the Colress Machine had been activated. Refusing to give up, Colress tried commanding Kyurem again, only for it to revert to its normal form and absorb Reshiram to become White Kyurem. Accepting his loss, Colress decided to quit Team Plasma and flee, only for Blake to pursue him while riding on Genesect. Colress responded by sending out a {{Shiny|Red}} Genesect, which he boasted as being far more powerful.


Two years later, he attacked [[Aspertia City]] for a test-run of Genesect's abilities. There, he encountered [[Lack-Two]] and [[Looker]], who happened to be in the area. Lack-Two attempted to capture Genesect, noticing that Colress was controlling it with a machine and inferring that it must still be a wild Pokémon. With the help of his {{p|Dewott}}, Lack-Two succeeded in capturing Genesect. Defeated, Colress commended Lack-Two's strength and left, revealing that he had become the new leader of Team Plasma and telling the two that Ghetsis was the one to ask if they wished to discover why. Later, he arrived at the [[Plasma Frigate]] to check up on the new Grunt uniforms he had designed. He met with Ghetsis and stated that they should meet with Zinzolin.
In ''[[PS547|The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition]]'', Colress was struck by [[Kelden]], who had changed into its Resolute Form. The attack only ended up shattering the Reveal Glass, reverting Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus back into their Incarnate Formes. As the battle continued, Blake realized Colress was using a second, improved version of the Colress Machine to control his Genesect. When Blake's team took down Colress's Beheeyem and destroyed the device, the Red Genesect threw Colress off of its back, sending him plummeting towards the ground. Blake tried to save Colress, but the scientist ordered his Genesect to fire a Techno Blast at him, revealing it was truly his Pokémon and the second Colress Machine was merely a distraction. Blake survived due his defense suit, only for Colress to command his Genesect to fire a second shot. Blake sent out an {{p|Escavalier}} and had it jam Genesect's cannon, causing it to backfire and explode, knocking both Pokémon out. Blake was then assisted by {{p|Victini}}, a Pokémon with a grudge against Team Plasma, who sought to capture it two years ago. Once his last Pokémon was taken out, Colress admitted his loss, only for Kyurem to appear and freeze him solid, defeating the scientist. Afterward, Colress was captured and taken into International Police custody.

Colress (Japanese: アクロマ Achroma) is a Pokémon researcher and the second boss of Team Plasma, appointed by Ghetsis. His goal is to discover the true way to draw out the strength of Pokémon. He specializes in Steel-type Pokémon.

In the core series games

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Colress is first encountered in Castelia Sewers. He is met again at Castelia City, where he tells the player that he disagrees with the old Team Plasma's goals to liberate Pokémon from humans. The player re-encounters Colress on Route 4, where several Crustle block the path. Colress uses his machine to drive the Crustle away and challenges the player to a battle. Colress is once again seen as a participant in the Pokémon World Tournament, matched against the player in the final round of the tournament. He is later encountered on Route 22. Like usual, he talks to the player mostly about Team Plasma, as well as handing the player a Colress Machine required to get past the Crustle blocking the way inside Seaside Cave.

Later on, during the battle against the new Team Plasma on the Plasma Frigate while at the Giant Chasm, Colress is met at the helm of the ship, where he reveals that he joined Team Plasma to pursue and research the true strength of Pokémon. After he is defeated in battle, he allows access to Ghetsis's room, wanting to see if the player can stop him.

After the player enters the Hall of Fame, Colress continues to dwell in the Plasma Frigate as it permanently docks at the P2 Laboratory; however, he and the other Team Plasma members have decided to put an end to their ambitions. Colress initially remains at the helm, where he can be battled again, giving the player a Master Ball once defeated. He will then move to the bow of the ship, where he will battle the player once per day.

While he does not appear in Pokémon X and Y, Colress is mentioned by a Backpacker found on Route 10, who says, "A few years back, this really strange dude named Colress told me that these big stones emit some kind of special energy."

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Colress appears on Route 8 and gives the player TM43 (Flame Charge). After the player becomes the first Alola Champion, Colress will reappear on the same route and give the player the Genesect Drives. He also participates as a Trainer in the Battle Tree.

When he is first met, he tells the player that he is still conducting his research into the true power of Pokémon, but following the events of Black 2 and White 2, he now believes that the source of a Pokémon's true power is its bond with its Trainer. He is in Alola researching the Z-RingSM or Z-Power RingUSUM, wondering if it can draw out the power of Pokémon more effectively than the Mega Ring. He also expresses interest in the Poké Pelago.

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Colress's role is slightly expanded, and he is revealed to be one of the people the Ultra Recon Squad reached out to for help with Necrozma. In response, Colress created the N-Solarizer and N-Lunarizer, based on his prior experience with Pokémon fusion. He gives the player both devices after witnessing them capture Necrozma on Mount Lanakila. The player can also visit him in his hotel room at Tide Song Hotel before he is officially introduced. However, he's only talking to himself and doesn't seem to notice the player. During the games' end credits, he is seen visiting Aether Paradise.

Colress also has a role in the battle against Team Rainbow Rocket in Episode RR. While the player and Lillie work to defeat the bosses of Team Rainbow Rocket, Wicke contacts Colress to enlist his aid. He follows the player and Lillie using an invisibility device he invented, and returns the bosses to their original worlds as they are defeated. Though Archie and Maxie are seen being warped away, Colress does not reveal himself until the player defeats Ghetsis, who subsequently takes Lillie as a hostage. Recognizing that this Ghetsis is not the one he knows, he declares that he opposes this Ghetsis's goals simply because he hates Ghetsis in all cases, then dispatches him back to his own world with a prototype device known as the Colress Machine No. 1102 (Japanese: アクロママシーン　１１０２号 Achroma Machine No. 1102). Colress allows the player and Lillie to move on and battle Giovanni to rescue Lusamine while he works to untangle the dimensions coming together to create Team Rocket's Castle. By the time the player defeats Giovanni, Colress manages to revert the castle back to being Lusamine's mansion.

Colress in the anime

Colress debuted in Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!, where he was conducting experiments with wild Pokémon in an attempt to bring out their true strength. From his base in an abandoned observatory outside of Floccesy Town, he used a large machine to generate electromagnetic waves that resonated with small devices on the wild Pokémon's foreheads, increasing their aggression and attack power while also rendering them subservient to Team Plasma's commands. Unfortunately for the villains, the mind-control device's EM waves also leaked into the surrounding wilderness, driving the local Pokémon to attack Floccesy Town and revealing their presence in the area. When Ash, his friends, and Looker arrived in the observatory, Colress released his mind-controlled Pokémon on them to test their strength.

Impressed by their Pokémon's ability to match his brainwashed Pokémon, he planted one of his controlling devices on Pikachu, forcing him to fight his Trainer. However, Ash's encouragement allowed Pikachu to fight against the EM waves, eventually causing the device to break and freeing Pikachu, much to Colress's amazement. Before he could gather further data, Team Rocket showed up, using one of their miniature robots to steal Colress's research data from his computer before quickly reciting their motto and making an escape with their balloon. With the mind-controlled Pokémon freed, Colress and the Team Plasma Grunts he had with him retreated, destroying the observatory with a self-destruct mechanism to get rid of all possible evidence.

In Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!, it was revealed that he had upgraded his Pokémon-controlling machine with his remaining research data. Instead of emitting radio waves to activate separate receivers on its targets, the machine now fired a narrow energy beam which instantly brought any Pokémon it hit under Team Plasma's control. Using this machine, Colress took control of a Haxorus, which he sent rampaging in a city. When Ash and his friends arrived and sent their Pokémon to stop Haxorus, Colress used his machine to take control of Iris's Dragonite, giving the heroes a lot more trouble to deal with. Suddenly Team Rocket appeared, attempting to steal Colress's machine. A battle between Jessie and James's Woobat and Amoonguss and Aldith's Liepard then took place, during which one of Liepard's Shadow Balls accidentally hit the machine, breaking it and freeing Haxorus and Dragonite from his control. Realizing that they were at a disadvantage, Colress and the Plasma Grunts retreated.

Colress briefly appeared in Secrets From Out of the Fog! with Aldith, discussing Team Plasma's plans with Ghetsis on a videophone call.

Colress operating his mind-control machine

In Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!, Team Rocket invaded his newest laboratory and drew his security – consisting of Aldith, Barret and some other Plasma Grunts – into a trap in the woods. Once Colress was alone, Meowth approached him and attempted to convince him to join Team Rocket. Colress refused, but offered to allow Meowth to participate in an experiment to increase his strength. Meowth agreed, having undergone training to resist the mind control device. However, Colress still managed to take control of Meowth, and ordered him to attack Jessie and James. Using Frillish and Amoonguss, they managed to snap him out of it before escaping. Later, Colress was seen with his Grunts reporting to Ghetsis, who revealed information about the Light Stone to them.

In Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!, Colress appeared with the rest of Team Plasma to commence their operation at the White Ruins. While Aldith, Barret and many other Grunts ambushed the workers at the site, Colress used his perfected machine to seize control of the workers' Pokémon and turn them on their Trainers. In Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!, he also took control of Pikachu again, forcing N to surrender the Light Stone to Team Plasma in exchange for Ash's safety.

In What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!, aiding Ghetsis in taking control of the awakened Reshiram. When Ash and Pikachu tried to stop him, he used his machine on Pikachu yet again. However, this time Pikachu was able to fight against its control, and – together with Reshiram – destroyed Colress's machine once and for all, thus freeing the controlled Pokémon. Later Colress and the other Team Plasma members were arrested by Looker, thus bringing the team down. As Officer Jenny took Team Plasma into custody, Colress mentioned his next project will be a device that allows Pokémon to communicate with people.

Character

Colress is seemingly polite, but he is emotionally distant. Despite openly aiding Team Plasma and refusing an offer to leave them for Team Rocket, he wasn't interested in the team's goals. Rather, he was more enthusiastic about the limitless inventions he could create and test to manipulate Pokémon. He wants to "bring out a Pokémon's true power", which he believes is anger.

After it recovered, it was forced to fight Ash's Pikachu and Iris's Axew. It was eventually released from Colress's control when Team Rocket stole his data and deactivated the machine.

Galvantula's known moves are Thunderbolt and Electro Ball.

Pikachu ♂
Main article: Ash's Pikachu

During the battle against the controlled Pokémon in the abandoned observatory, Colress was impressed by the strength Ash's Pikachu displayed. Deciding to use the Mouse Pokémon for his tests, he attached a receiver to Pikachu and turned his EM wave generator to maximum output. Although Pikachu was forced to attack his Trainer, Ash was able to encourage him to fight against the machine. After a struggle, he managed to destroy the receiver on his head, freeing himself from Colress's control.

In Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!, Colress used his perfected mind-control device to take control of Pikachu again. This time, Ash's pleas did not get through to him, and Colress forced the Mouse Pokémon to viciously attack his Trainer. Colress ultimately freed him from control once N traded the Light Stone for Ash's safety.

In What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!, during the final battle against Team Plasma, Colress took control of Pikachu for the third time. This time, however, Pikachu was able to fight against the force that controlled him, even disobeying his orders and attacking Reshiram, which was also under Colress's control. Even though Colress fired his device on Pikachu again, he was able to keep fighting, and, together with the similarly-rebelling Reshiram, destroyed the control machine, freeing the controlled Pokémon once and for all.

Colress in Pokémon Generations

In The Frozen World, Colress was conducting an experiment on the Legendary Kyurem aboard the Plasma Frigate. He managed to draw out Kyurem's strength to power up a cannon, which allowed Team Plasma to freeze Opelucid City completely. This was part of an operation to get the DNA Splicers from Drayden, which also involved former Sage Zinzolin.

Colress in Pokémon Adventures
Colress as the Hood Man
Black & White arc

Colress debuted in Hallway Hijinks, where he participated as a competitor in the Pokémon League. Disguised as the cloak-bearing Hood Man (Japanese: フードマン Hood Man), he managed to sneak in without having earned any of the eight Unova Gym Badges. After battling his way through Victory Road, he eventually made it into the top 8.

In The Tournament Continues, Colress faced Marlon. Although Marlon managed to disable the moves of Colress' Beheeyem, Colress came out on top and advanced to the next round. After leaving, he noted that participating in the League and observing powerful Trainers would help him in his research. In Something Suspicious, Colress faced Cheren in the semifinals. Although Cheren initially struggled due to his Snivy's lack of strength, he switched it out for his Unfezant and quickly defeated Colress's Beheeyem with a U-turn.

In True Friends, Colress and Zinzolin watched Black and Cheren face each other in the finals. During the match, they talked about Zinzolin's theory that a cold heart was the best way to bring out a Pokémon's true strength. Although Zinzolin stated that his theory was correct, Colress noted that - in his battles - he was able to see varying styles from many strong Trainers that brought out their Pokémon's strength. When White discovered that the two were affiliated with Team Plasma, she attempted to expose them to everyone at the League. Although she was successful, Colress had his Beheeyem use Teleport to transport her to N's room inside his castle.

In Cold Hard Truth, Team Plasma attacked the League, summoning N's Castle from the depths of the earth to surround the League building. Colress assisted in the invasion by using Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus to battle the Elite Four. His true intention was to discover the secret of how to transform the three into their Therian Formes. After discovering that he needed a special mirror, Colress bid farewell to the Elite Four and escaped.

In A Difficult Parting, Colress used his Beheeyem to help Ghetsis escape after he was defeated by Black. With Beheeyem's power, Ghetsis caused Black to be sealed into the Light Stone before making his escape. Afterward, Ghetsis thanked Colress for his assistance with Team Plasma's plans and expressed interest in working with him again. Colress agreed, but on the condition that it didn't impede with his research.

Black 2 & White 2 arc

Eventually, Colress was made the new leader of Team Plasma in N's absence. In Mr. Perfect, Colress attacked Aspertia City with Genesect as a test-run of his Colress Machine. He was confronted by Blake and Looker of the International Police. After realizing that it was still wild, Blake used his Dewott to whittle down Genesect's health enough for him to capture it. Defeated, Colress commended Blake's strength and left, revealing that he was made the new leader of Team Plasma and that Ghetsis was planning a comeback. Later, Colress met with Ghetsis on the Plasma Frigate and stated that they needed to find Zinzolin, who had been ignoring their calls.

In Angry Boy, Colress confronted Zinzolin at the Cold Storage, demanding to know why he had been refusing to answer. Zinzolin revealed that he managed to capture Kyurem, the third Unova Legendary Dragon Pokémon. Colress praised Zinzolin for his success, but demanded that he hand Kyurem to him, angering Zinzolin into attacking. During the battle, Colress realized that Zinzolin's true intention was to have Kyurem fuse with Reshiram or Zekrom through Absofusion. Following Kyurem's trail, Blake arrived at the Pokémon World Tournament construction site, where he witnessed Thundurus and Landorus defeating Zinzolin. Upon spotting Blake, Colress used the Reveal Glass to turn Thundurus and Landorus into their Therian Formes.

In Therian Forme III, Blake tried arresting the unconscious Zinzolin, only for him to be taken away by Colress, who wished to use his knowledge of Kyurem to Team Plasma's advantage. With the Colress Machine, Colress took control of Kyurem and commanded it to attack, but was stopped by Ghetsis, who appeared with the Plasma Frigate. Ghetsis had Kyurem loaded into a special room on the ship. Blake tried stopping them, but was attacked by the Shadow Triad, allowing the Plasma Frigate to take off and fly through the air. The Plasma Frigate was flown to Castelia City, where it froze several buildings and people with its special Kyurem-powered cannon. When the traitor to Team Plasma, Rood, appeared, Ghetsis ordered Colress to capture the former Sage. Rood was saved by Whitley, who pushed him out of the way, only to get captured herself. Annoyed that Rood managed to escape, Colress had Whitley locked in an empty cabin.

In Flying Ship, Whitley was broken out of her cabin by Blake, who teamed up with her to free Kyurem from Colress' control. They destroyed the chamber where Kyurem was kept, but it was empty, as the Plasma Frigate had already drained enough energy to freeze all of Unova. Colress had Kyurem freeze Blake and Whitley solid before commanding some Grunts to throw them into the ocean. Afterward, Colress realized that Kyurem appeared before Zinzolin because it was attracted to Reshiram and Zekrom's power when they awakened. He then speculated that because of Kyurem's power, Reshiram and Zekrom may return to Unova.

In N Returns, Colress gave Ghetsis control over Kyurem so he could use it to battle N, who had appeared to stop them. Later, Ghetsis obtained the DNA Splicers and used them on Kyurem, who reverted Zekrom back into the Dark Stone, trapping N inside with it. Kyurem absorbed the Dark Stone, transforming itself into Black Kyurem. Reacting to Zekrom's absorption, the Light Stone reverted to Reshiram, freeing Black in the process. Black and White briefly fought Kyurem, but were distracted when N was suddenly ejected from the Dark Stone, allowing Ghetsis to launch an attack and escape. After being tossed aside by Ghetsis, Colress secretly took N aboard the Plasma Frigate, curious about his ability to hear the voices of Pokémon.

In Deduction Time, Colress and Ghetsis followed Kyurem, who had started moving towards the Giant Chasm of its own free will. After arriving, Colress retook control of Kyurem and had it attack the Unova Pokédex holders. When Kyurem stopped listening to Colress's commands, Rood appeared, revealing that a machine designed to counter the Colress Machine had been activated. Refusing to give up, Colress tried commanding Kyurem again, only for it to revert to its normal form and absorb Reshiram to become White Kyurem. Accepting his loss, Colress decided to quit Team Plasma and flee, only for Blake to pursue him while riding on Genesect. Colress responded by sending out a Red Genesect, which he boasted as being far more powerful.

In The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition, Colress was struck by Kelden, who had changed into its Resolute Form. The attack only ended up shattering the Reveal Glass, reverting Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus back into their Incarnate Formes. As the battle continued, Blake realized Colress was using a second, improved version of the Colress Machine to control his Genesect. When Blake's team took down Colress's Beheeyem and destroyed the device, the Red Genesect threw Colress off of its back, sending him plummeting towards the ground. Blake tried to save Colress, but the scientist ordered his Genesect to fire a Techno Blast at him, revealing it was truly his Pokémon and the second Colress Machine was merely a distraction. Blake survived due his defense suit, only for Colress to command his Genesect to fire a second shot. Blake sent out an Escavalier and had it jam Genesect's cannon, causing it to backfire and explode, knocking both Pokémon out. Blake was then assisted by Victini, a Pokémon with a grudge against Team Plasma, who sought to capture it two years ago. Once his last Pokémon was taken out, Colress admitted his loss, only for Kyurem to appear and freeze him solid, defeating the scientist. Afterward, Colress was captured and taken into International Police custody.

Trivia

  • Colress does not have an introduction and VS sprite the first two times he is fought. The third time, he has the Team Plasma template used by N and Ghetsis. In the post-Champion rematches, he uses the basic template used for battles against Gym Leaders, rivals, and Benga.
    • Colress's unique battle background music, 戦闘! アクロマ Battle! Colress, is not used in the first battle against him; it is first heard when he is fought on the Plasma Frigate and is kept for rematches.
  • Colress bears a striking resemblance to Ein, both in terms of appearance and motive. Both are scientists who wear glasses and a white lab coat and have a hair flick. Furthermore, they both strive to unlock the potential in Pokémon, and side with the evil team of their respective games.
    • Colress also greatly resembles Dr. Yung from The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon. Both are scientists who appear friendly but secretly play antagonistic roles and who obsess over the power of Pokémon. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Colress's alter-ego of Hood Man also bears a striking resemblance to Yung's Mirage Master identity.
  • On his concept art for Pokémon Sun and Moon, Colress's new outfit is called the "Achromatic Wearable Console."
  • Colress is the only non-Pokédex holder in Pokémon Adventures to own a Shiny Pokémon.
