What it does to a run
- Same snag-only encounter model as Colosseum, plus a handful of Poké Spot wild encounters.
- Doubles everywhere again, and Shadow moves are super effective against non-Shadow Pokémon.
- Missed snags can be re-fought via Miror B., which most rulesets treat as a second chance — decide up front.
Where runs die
- Zook's Shadow Zangoose
- Lovrina
- Greevil's double legendary send-outs
