Gameplay mostly remains the same as in Pokémon Colosseum. Battles largely use the Double Battle format introduced in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions, the main goal being able to catch Shadow Pokémon and purify their hearts to return them to normal. This can be done either by battling or walking. When using a Shadow Pokémon in battle, it may start to disobey the player, at which point the player must use the "Call" command to calm them down. In addition to Shadow Pokémon, the player may also use Poké Spots to catch wild Pokémon.
