In the games

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

Colress is first met in Castelia City, where he tells the player about how he disagrees with the old Team Plasma and their goals to liberate Pokémon from human beings. The player soon encounters Colress again 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, and is matched against the player in the final round. Throughout most of the game, he can be met and will talk to the player mostly about Team Plasma.

Later on, during the battle against the new Team Plasma on the Plasma Frigate, Colress is seen in a chamber, where he reveals that he became a member of Team Plasma in order to pursue and research the true strength of Pokémon. Colress then challenges the player to a battle. Once he is defeated, he will allow access to Ghetsis's chamber, saying that he wants to see if the player can put a stop to his plans.

After the player enters the Hall of Fame, Colress is still dwelling within the Plasma Frigate; however, he, along with other Team Plasma members, has decided to put an end to their ambitions. Colress will battle the player once per day. The first time he is battled this way, he will give the player a Master Ball.

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, and in all subsequent battles, he uses the basic template used for Gym Leader and rival battles.
• Colress's unique battle background music is not used in the first two battles against him; it is first heard when he is fought on the Plasma Frigate, and is kept for rematches.
• He only uses Pokémon from one evolutionary line that has genders: Elgyem and Beheeyem.
• Although his Magneton has Sturdy in the battles in the Plasma Frigate (and as a Magnemite on Route 4), it is possible for it to have Magnet Pull in the Pokémon World Tournament.
