'''Purification''', or "'''opening the heart's door'''", is the only known method of changing a [[Shadow Pokémon]] back into a normal Pokémon. It is used in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} to restore any Shadow Pokémon that [[Wes]] or [[Michael]] have [[Snagging|snagged]]. Purification can be seen as a main goal in those games.

==Purifying a Pokémon==
==Purifying a Pokémon==
===Heart Gauge===
{{main|Heart Gauge}}
Before completely opening the door to a Shadow Pokémon's heart, its [[Heart Gauge]] must first drop to zero, turning completely white.
In most cases, a Shadow Pokémon's heart can only be fully opened once its [[Heart Gauge]] has been completely depleted. This is denoted by the message, "The door to its heart is about to open. Undo the final lock!"


The following actions will slowly open the door to a Pokémon's heart:
The following actions will open the door to a Pokémon's heart by varying amounts:
* Walking with a Shadow Pokémon
* Sending a Shadow Pokémon into battle
* Sending a Shadow Pokémon into a [[Pokémon battle]]
* Calling a Shadow Pokémon out of Hyper Mode or Reverse Mode in battle
* Calling a Shadow Pokémon to its senses from [[Hyper Mode]] or [[Reverse Mode]]
* Walking with a Shadow Pokémon in the [[party]]
* Using a [[cologne]] on a Shadow Pokémon
* Walking with a Shadow Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} (in Pokémon Colosseum only)
* Keeping a Shadow Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] (in Pokémon Colosseum only)
* Using [[Scent]]s on a Shadow Pokémon
* Keeping a Shadow Pokémon with other Pokémon in the [[Purify Chamber]]
* Placing a Shadow Pokémon in the Purification Chamber (in Pokémon XD only)


===Purification Stages===
In Pokémon Colosseum, the player may use a [[Time Flute]] to instantly purify any Shadow Pokémon by summoning {{p|Celebi}} at the [[Relic Stone]], regardless of the status of its Heart Gauge.
* 0% Purified: This is the state at which a Shadow Pokémon is [[snag]]ged. The Pokémon has at least one [[Shadow move]], and its [[Nature]] is unknown. Before any progress has been made on the Heart Gauge, the Pokémon's description will state, "The door to its heart is tightly shut." After any progress has been made, until the next stage, the description will state, "The door to its heart is starting to open."
* 20% Purified: When at this stage, the Shadow Pokémon will relearn its first non-Shadow move. Until the next stage, the description will state, "The door to its heart is opening up."
* 40% Purified: The Shadow Pokémon's Nature is revealed (though it was determined when the Pokémon was first encountered), and the Pokémon will also start receiving experience points in battle, though this is not mentioned to the player or counted towards a level-up until the purification process is completed. Until the next stage, the description will state, "The door to its heart is opening wider."
* 60% Purified: The second non-Shadow move is relearned. Until the next stage, the description will state, "The door to its heart is nearly open."
* 80% Purified: The Shadow Pokémon will enter Hyper (or Reverse) Mode more frequently. Also, in Colosseum only, a third non-Shadow move is relearned. Until the next stage, the description will state, "The door to its heart is almost fully open."
* Empty Shadow Bar: The Shadow Pokémon's heart is 'ready to open' and the Purification process can be finished, turning the Shadow Pokémon back into a normal Pokémon. At this stage, the description will state, "The door to its heart is about to open. Undo the final lock!"


===Purification Ritual===
In Pokémon XD, [[Shadow Lugia]] can only be purified if it is put into one of the [[Purify Chamber]]'s Sets when all nine slots have achieved maximum tempo. Its Heart Gauge will reset if the process is interrupted, such as by removing Shadow Lugia from the chamber.
Once a Pokémon's Heart Gauge is completely white, it is time to "undo the final lock," the final step in opening the door to a Shadow Pokémon's heart. This is done through a Purification Ritual. In Pokémon Colosseum, Purification Rituals can only be performed at the [[Relic Stone]] in [[Agate Village]], but in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, they can also be performed in any Set of the [[Purify Chamber]] at [[Pokémon HQ Lab]] as well.


===Time Flute===
===Purification ceremony===
In Pokémon Colosseum, the player can find up to three special [[item]]s called [[Time Flute]]s to instantly purify any Shadow Pokémon by summoning {{p|Celebi}} at the [[Relic Stone]], which will open the door to a Shadow Pokémon's heart. Time Flutes do not appear in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
Once a Pokémon's Heart Gauge is completely depleted, it is time to "undo the final lock," the final step in opening the door to a Shadow Pokémon's heart. This is done through a purification ceremony. In Pokémon Colosseum, these ceremonies can only be performed at the [[Relic Stone]] in [[Agate Village]], but in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, they can also be performed in any Set of the [[Purify Chamber]] at [[Pokémon HQ Lab]].


===Shadow Lugia===
==After purification==
[[Shadow Lugia]] is a special case and can only be purified if it is put into one of the [[Purify Chamber]]'s Sets when all nine slots have achieved maximum tempo. Its Heart Gauge will also reset if the process is interrupted, such as by removing Shadow Lugia from the chamber.
Once a Pokémon is purified, any [[Shadow move]]s are replaced with other [[move]]s. In {{Pokémon XD}}, this always includes at least one special move (that it cannot learn through level up, [[TM]], or as an [[Egg Move]]).


==After Purification==
When a Pokémon is purified, it immediately gains any [[experience]] and [[friendship]] that it has earned in battles prior to the purification, meaning that it may gain one or more [[level]]s (however, no [[effort values]] are tracked from battles while it is a Shadow Pokémon). Additionally, it gains 70 friendship and the [[National Ribbon]] for being purified. At this point, the player can give the Pokémon a [[nickname]].
Once a Pokémon is purified, any [[Shadow move]]s are replaced with other [[move]]s. In {{Pokémon XD}}, besides moves learned through level up, [[TM]] or [[breeding]] a just-purified Pokémon will know at least one special move. It immediately gains any [[Experience]] and [[Effort Values]] that it has earned in battles prior to the purification, meaning that it may gain one or more [[level]]s. The Pokémon receives a special [[Ribbon]] for "clearing all difficulties", and at this point the [[Pokémon Trainer]] may choose a [[nickname]] for it. The player is now able to trade the purified Pokémon with the GBA games {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}} using a GameCube/GBA cable.
 
Once purified, the Pokémon can be traded to {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.

A move marked with an asterisk (*) below indicates that, in [[Generation III]], the Pokémon has that move as an [[Egg Move]], but there are no Pokémon it can breed with that can learn the move, making this the only method to breed the move as an Egg Move.

If you were looking for the process in Pokémon GO, see Shadow Pokémon (GO) → Purification.
Croconaw was purified

Purification (Japanese: リライブ Relive), or "opening the heart's door", is the only known method of changing a Shadow Pokémon back into a normal Pokémon. It is used in Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness to restore any Shadow Pokémon that Wes or Michael have snagged. Purification can be seen as a main goal in those games.

Purifying a Pokémon

Main article: Heart Gauge

In most cases, a Shadow Pokémon's heart can only be fully opened once its Heart Gauge has been completely depleted. This is denoted by the message, "The door to its heart is about to open. Undo the final lock!"

The following actions will open the door to a Pokémon's heart by varying amounts:

  • Sending a Shadow Pokémon into battle
  • Calling a Shadow Pokémon out of Hyper Mode or Reverse Mode in battle
  • Walking with a Shadow Pokémon in the party
  • Walking with a Shadow Pokémon in the Day Care (in Pokémon Colosseum only)
  • Using Scents on a Shadow Pokémon
  • Placing a Shadow Pokémon in the Purification Chamber (in Pokémon XD only)

In Pokémon Colosseum, the player may use a Time Flute to instantly purify any Shadow Pokémon by summoning Celebi at the Relic Stone, regardless of the status of its Heart Gauge.

In Pokémon XD, Shadow Lugia can only be purified if it is put into one of the Purify Chamber's Sets when all nine slots have achieved maximum tempo. Its Heart Gauge will reset if the process is interrupted, such as by removing Shadow Lugia from the chamber.

Purification ceremony

Once a Pokémon's Heart Gauge is completely depleted, it is time to "undo the final lock," the final step in opening the door to a Shadow Pokémon's heart. This is done through a purification ceremony. In Pokémon Colosseum, these ceremonies can only be performed at the Relic Stone in Agate Village, but in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, they can also be performed in any Set of the Purify Chamber at Pokémon HQ Lab.

After purification

Once a Pokémon is purified, any Shadow moves are replaced with other moves. In Pokémon XD, this always includes at least one special move (that it cannot learn through level up, TM, or as an Egg Move).

When a Pokémon is purified, it immediately gains any experience and friendship that it has earned in battles prior to the purification, meaning that it may gain one or more levels (however, no effort values are tracked from battles while it is a Shadow Pokémon). Additionally, it gains 70 friendship and the National Ribbon for being purified. At this point, the player can give the Pokémon a nickname.

Once purified, the Pokémon can be traded to Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, and LeafGreen.

Special moves

The following Pokémon can only gain certain moves if they are a Shadow Pokémon purified in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness:

A move marked with an asterisk (*) below indicates that, in Generation III, the Pokémon has that move as an Egg Move, but there are no Pokémon it can breed with that can learn the move, making this the only method to breed the move as an Egg Move.
