To make the RPG mode a lot easier, stay a few hours in Pyrite Town's Duel Square, even
though it is drawn as a circle. You can battle all six of the trainers there repeatedly.
This makes purifying Shadow Pokemon a lot easier, and getting 99 of any desired items in
the Pokemon Marts all over Orre, because they still keep giving you money. Unfortunately,
you only receive a little less then the first cash prize that you received. For example,
with the loner trainer on the right, Rider Vant, he will give you 300 for your first win,
but every single time you defeat him after that it is 290. Although this takes time, their
Pokemon are generally easy to defeat because they are at a low level and most of them are
normal types. Note: Each of the Shadow Pokemon they used to have are now replaced
with a different Pokemon (starting with lone trainer on right and going counter-clockwise.
Also, the money amounts are the cash prizes that you win every time you win a battle with
that trainer after the first battle.

When the meter is only four "hate" bars long, your Pokemon will remember one of its
original moves. When the meter is only three "hate" bars long, your Pokemon will start
earning experience points, but will not be of any benefit until it is fully purified from
hate. When the "hate" bar is only two bars long, it will remember a second move that you
can use in battle alongside with Shadow Rush and the first one it remembered. When the
meter is only one "hate" bar long, your move list will contain four moves, including
Shadow Rush. Once that last "hate" bar disappears, you can finally visit the Relic Stone
in the Relic Forest in Agate Village, where any nearly purified Pokemon will be fully
purified and lose Shadow Rush, gain all its experience (leveling up each time), and
remember its fourth initial move. You can still learn new moves by experience, TMs, and
HMs.

When you get to Mt. Battle and battle to the top, you will face Cipher Admin Dokim. He has

Shadow Pokemon Tyrannitar and MetaGross, go back to where the Cipher President and his
minions are located. You have a chance to fight them all over, and retrieve some of the
Shadow Pokemon you did not catch. Metagross and Tyrannitar are some of the most difficult
Shadow Pokemon to get.

back. When you return to the title screen, different characters will be shown.
