Learn how to defeat Cipher Peon Cole and his $2,320 P$ team in Pokémon Colosseum with this quick guide. Get ready for the battle!

Alright, so you've made it to Cipher Peon Cole. This guy's got a bit of cash, $2,320 P$ to be exact, and he's got a couple of Shadow Pokémon ready to rumble. Don't sweat it, though; he's not too tough once you know what you're up against. This is a pretty straightforward battle, so let's get you through it without losing too much Gold.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll find yourself facing Cipher Peon Cole. He's got two Pokémon with him: a Shadow Miltank and a Shadow Ariados.
  2. 2
    Your goal here is to snag both of these Shadow Pokémon. Remember, they're part of Cipher's operation, and your mission is to save them.
  3. 3
    The Miltank is a Normal-type, and the Ariados is a Bug/Poison-type. Think about what types are super effective against them. For Miltank, Fighting-type moves will do the trick. For Ariados, Rock, Psychic, or Fire-type attacks should work well.
  4. 4
    Focus on weakening them first. You don't want to use a move that's too powerful and knock them out before you have a chance to snag them. Use weaker attacks or moves that don't deal much damage.
  5. 5
    When a Pokémon is low on health, switch to a Pokémon that can use a status move like Sleep or Paralysis. This will make snagging much easier.
  6. 6
    Once a Pokémon is weakened and possibly afflicted with a status condition, use your Poké Balls. If you have Snag Balls available (which you should at this point), use those. Keep trying until you successfully snag them.
  7. 7
    After you've snagged both of Cole's Shadow Pokémon, the battle will be over. You'll get your Gold and move on to the next part of your journey.
Tips
  • If you have a strong Fighting-type Pokémon, lead with it to quickly deal with the Miltank.
  • For the Ariados, a Fire-type attack is usually a safe bet, but watch out for its potential poison status.
  • Don't be afraid to use status moves like Sleep Powder or Thunder Wave to make snagging easier.
  • If you're having trouble, remember that you can always retreat and train your Pokémon a bit more before coming back.
  • Keep an eye on your own Pokémon's health. You don't want to lose them unnecessarily.

Successfully defeating Cipher Peon Cole and snagging his Shadow Pokémon will earn you Gold and allow you to progress further in the game. You'll also add two Shadow Pokémon to your collection, which are crucial for your mission.
