Pokémon Colosseum: Dustborn

Pokémon Colosseum: Dustborn is a reimagining of the original Gamecube classic. Every Shadow Pokémon has been replaced with a unique Dustborn variant, new regional forms with altered typings, stats, and abilities. The story has been rewritten with more challenging battles, modern mechanics, and quality of life changes. Dustborn offers both longtime fans and new players a new immersive journey through Orre.
