A Heart Gauge is a meter that's used in the [[Nintendo Gamecube]] [[wp: Video game|games]], [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. The Heart Gauge shows how much darkness is drained out of the Shadow Pokémon. The more times you would use a Shadow Pokémon in battle, the lower the darkness would get on its Heart Gauge. Once when its darkness goes all the way down, it would be possible to heal the Shadow Pokémon by restoring back to its more friendlier, lighter side. After restoring its friendship, it would now be possible to trade the former Shadow Pokémon to any of the [[third generation]] [[Pokémon]] [[wp: RPG|RPG]] games.

A '''Heart Gauge''' (Japanese: '''リライブゲージ''' ''{{tt|Relive|Purification}} Gauge'') is a meter for a [[Shadow Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] that measures how far it is from being able to be [[purification|purified]].


The games include:
==Heart Gauge progress==
*[[Pokémon Ruby]]
{{incomplete|section|Can (somewhat purified) Shadow Pokemon gain EVs in XD?<!--They can't in Colo.--> Can a Shadow Pokemon actually gain friendship in XD?}}
*[[Pokémon Sapphire]]
The Heart Gauge is split into five equal bars. When a Shadow Pokémon is first [[snag]]ged, all five bars are full. In the same way that two Pokémon with a "full" HP bar may actually have different amounts of HP, so too may two different Shadow Pokémon with full Heart Gauges have a different absolute number underlying their Heart Gauges. The size of a given Shadow Pokémon's full Heart Gauge can be seen on the [[list of Shadow Pokémon]]. All other things equal, this means that a Shadow Pokémon with a bigger full Heart Gauge number will take longer to fully open its heart than a Shadow Pokémon with a smaller number will.
*[[Pokémon FireRed]]
*[[Pokémon LeafGreen]]
*[[Pokémon Emerald]]


In addition, after trading to any of the third generation games, it would also be possible to trade to either another save file of Pokémon Colosseum on another [[wp: Memory Card|Memory Card]], a Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness save file, or store it into [[Pokémon Box: Ruby and Sapphire]]. Its also possible to use the former Shadow Pokémon as a custom course in the [[Nintendo DS]] game, [[Pokémon Dash]] and also trade it into either [[Pokémon Diamond]], or [[Pokémon Pearl]], and even use it to battle in the [[Nintendo Wii]] game, [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].
A Shadow Pokémon also starts out with its [[Nature]] hidden, only Shadow moves usable (one in Colosseum, two to four in XD), and unable to gain [[experience]] or [[friendship]]. As the Pokémon opens its heart to the player, the gauge decreases, and as the gauge passes certain milestones, some of the restrictions the Pokémon started with become undone.


Some Pokémon (like [[Entei]] and [[Ho-oh]]) were previously unavaible before when Pokémon Colosseum was released in the [[wp: United States|U.S.]] in [[wp: March|March]] of [[wp: 2004 in video gameing|2004]]. Most of the Shadow Pokémon are from both the [[first generation|first]] and the [[second generation|second]] generations.

A Shadow Pokémon always retains its Shadow moves until it undergoes the purification ceremony. So in Pokémon XD, where all Pokémon have at least two Shadow moves, dropping below one full bar on the Heart Gauge does not change a Shadow Pokémon's moveset at all.


==The Lugia factor==
==Opening a Shadow Pokémon's heart==
In XD, there's a [[Lugia]] called "XD 001". Unlike all of the other Shadow Pokémon, you would have to have nine perfect tempos playing in order to restore Lugia's former self. That way, you can trade it, just like any other former Shadow Pokémon. Before restoring, '''you can't''' use Lugia to [[Pokémon Battle|battle]] in order to restore. '''You also can't''' use any scents (like [[Joy Scent]], [[Excite Scent]], or even [[Vivid Scent]]) in order to restore Lugia's friendship. There's only one Lugia in that game, and its also one of the only few places where you can get it in order to get it recorded on to the [[PokéDex]].
{{incomplete|section|Appropriate details for the Purification Chamber}}
There are several ways in which to open a Pokémon's heart.
* Send the Pokémon into battle
* Call the Pokémon out of Hyper Mode or Reverse Mode in battle
* Walking, every 256 steps, while the Pokémon is in the player's [[party]]
* Walking, every 256 steps, while the Pokémon is in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} (Pokémon Colosseum only)
* Use [[Cologne|Scents]]
* Place the Pokémon in the Purification Chamber (Pokémon XD only)
The walking events run on a counter that is unique to each individual Shadow Pokémon. This means that, for these events, a Shadow Pokémon may open its heart at a different time than when all Pokémon gain friendship, and two Shadow Pokémon may open their hearts at different times.
 
The event that occurred and the Shadow Pokémon's Nature combine to affect the amount by which a Pokémon's Heart Gauge decreases, as described in the sections below. These amounts also differ between Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD. On average, the effects in XD are weaker than those in Colosseum; on the other hand, the average size of a full Heart Gauge for a Shadow Pokémon is also smaller in XD than in Colosseum.
 
In the case of Scents, the Scent used further affects the amount by which the Heart Gauge decreases. The Joy Scent multiplies the appropriate value below by 1, the Excite Scent multiplies it by 2, and the Vivid Scent multiplies it by 3.
 
In short, the actions with the potential for the strongest effects are: calling a Pokémon out of Hyper Mode or Reverse Mode, walking while a Pokémon is in the Day Care, and using a Vivid Scent. The absolute lowest effect of these is stronger than the absolute lowest effect of other actions, and their absolute strongest effect is stronger than that of any other action.

Spinarak's Heart Gauge is full

A Heart Gauge (Japanese: リライブゲージ Relive Gauge) is a meter for a Shadow Pokémon in Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness that measures how far it is from being able to be purified.

Heart Gauge progress

Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Can (somewhat purified) Shadow Pokemon gain EVs in XD? Can a Shadow Pokemon actually gain friendship in XD?

The Heart Gauge is split into five equal bars. When a Shadow Pokémon is first snagged, all five bars are full. In the same way that two Pokémon with a "full" HP bar may actually have different amounts of HP, so too may two different Shadow Pokémon with full Heart Gauges have a different absolute number underlying their Heart Gauges. The size of a given Shadow Pokémon's full Heart Gauge can be seen on the list of Shadow Pokémon. All other things equal, this means that a Shadow Pokémon with a bigger full Heart Gauge number will take longer to fully open its heart than a Shadow Pokémon with a smaller number will.

A Shadow Pokémon also starts out with its Nature hidden, only Shadow moves usable (one in Colosseum, two to four in XD), and unable to gain experience or friendship. As the Pokémon opens its heart to the player, the gauge decreases, and as the gauge passes certain milestones, some of the restrictions the Pokémon started with become undone.

Progress Message Changes
5 full bars "The door to its heart is tightly shut." —
< 5 bars "The door to its heart is starting to open." —
< 4 bars "The door to its heart is opening up." The Pokémon regains its first non-Shadow move.
< 3 bars "The door to its heart is opening wider." The Pokémon's Nature is revealed.
The Pokémon can gain experience and friendship which will be applied after it is purified.
< 2 bars "The door to its heart is nearly open." The Pokémon regains its second non-Shadow move.
< 1 bar "The door to its heart is almost fully open." The Pokémon regains its third non-Shadow move.
The Pokémon will enter Hyper Mode or Reverse Mode more frequently.
Fully empty "The door to its heart is about to open. Undo the final lock!"" The Pokémon can now undergo the purification ceremony.

A Shadow Pokémon always retains its Shadow moves until it undergoes the purification ceremony. So in Pokémon XD, where all Pokémon have at least two Shadow moves, dropping below one full bar on the Heart Gauge does not change a Shadow Pokémon's moveset at all.

Opening a Shadow Pokémon's heart

050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Appropriate details for the Purification Chamber

There are several ways in which to open a Pokémon's heart.

  • Send the Pokémon into battle
  • Call the Pokémon out of Hyper Mode or Reverse Mode in battle
  • Walking, every 256 steps, while the Pokémon is in the player's party
  • Walking, every 256 steps, while the Pokémon is in the Day Care (Pokémon Colosseum only)
  • Use Scents
  • Place the Pokémon in the Purification Chamber (Pokémon XD only)

The walking events run on a counter that is unique to each individual Shadow Pokémon. This means that, for these events, a Shadow Pokémon may open its heart at a different time than when all Pokémon gain friendship, and two Shadow Pokémon may open their hearts at different times.

The event that occurred and the Shadow Pokémon's Nature combine to affect the amount by which a Pokémon's Heart Gauge decreases, as described in the sections below. These amounts also differ between Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD. On average, the effects in XD are weaker than those in Colosseum; on the other hand, the average size of a full Heart Gauge for a Shadow Pokémon is also smaller in XD than in Colosseum.

In the case of Scents, the Scent used further affects the amount by which the Heart Gauge decreases. The Joy Scent multiplies the appropriate value below by 1, the Excite Scent multiplies it by 2, and the Vivid Scent multiplies it by 3.

In short, the actions with the potential for the strongest effects are: calling a Pokémon out of Hyper Mode or Reverse Mode, walking while a Pokémon is in the Day Care, and using a Vivid Scent. The absolute lowest effect of these is stronger than the absolute lowest effect of other actions, and their absolute strongest effect is stronger than that of any other action.

Lugia

In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Shadow Lugia's Heart Gauge is fully closed until it is placed in the Purification Chamber with all nine chambers at max tempo. When this is done, the Heart Gauge will automatically open and Lugia can be purified. However, if Lugia is taken out before being purified, its Heart Gauge will again close completely.
