Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness
Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness was released in 2005 for the Nintendo GameCube.
Unlike Pokémon Colosseum, the game only contains Story Mode, where the player can play through a story set in the Orre region and capture a total of 97 Pokémon (not counting their evolutions). The Orre Colosseum that can be found in Story Mode now houses a challenge similar to those from the Colosseums in Battle Mode of Pokémon Colosseum.
This game remains the only way that a player trying to complete the National Dex in any Generation 3 game can obtain Lugia.
