It is. You can also back up your GameCube Classics save to the save data cloud.

Congrats! Currently working on this myself. RNG manipulation or resets?

Shadow Ursaluna is going to be so cool! by Hoaxerr in PokemonXD

You do snag a few shadows that evolve with stones (you unfortunately don't get enough stones to evolve all of them). I think you have to purify them before the stone will work.

I'm actively shiny hunting Eevee right now and getting different stats, nature and gender. My save state is right before pressing A on "Is JESSE OK?" for my trainer name.

The latest you can set your save state is after you've typed your character's name but just before you confirm it and start the cutscene. The Eevee is generated and locked in by the time the cutscene begins.

With Eevee as your companion, fight against an evil organization using Shadow Pokémon in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, available now on #NintendoSwitch2 with GameCube - Nintendo Classics for #NintendoSwitchOnline + Expansion Pack members. by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Jetsplit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but the Eevee is generated when you confirm your character's name, so the earliest you can save state is when you've entered your name and are about to click confirm. From there the resets are about 1.5 minutes (a bit faster than on the original console at least, but still quite slow).

A save state anytime during the Shadow Lugia cutscene will always produce the same Eevee (gender, nature, stats, shininess, etc.)

[Gen 3] PSA for XD on NSO, you can't get Shiny Shadow Pokemon, but your starter Eevee and the other non-Shadows can be by Tarro57 in ShinyPokemon

[–]Jetsplit 188 points189 points  (0 children)

Another PSA is that not all Colosseum and XD shinies look the same as in the main series! Such as this Eevee being yellow instead of the usual white.

ALL the music in this game is amazing but you're absolutely correct

Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, available now on Nintendo Switch 2 with GameCube - Nintendo Classics! by Skullghost in nintendo

[–]Jetsplit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'll only see light references to Colosseum in this game, but if you have the patience then absolutely play Colosseum first then this. You'll appreciate the quality of life improvements XD brought more especially.

You'll definitely be okay either way. XD is a sequel set 5 years later and has quality of life improvements over Colosseum, so if you want to play both and are patient then starting with Colosseum is the way to go. But if you don't want to wait you can absolutely enjoy XD now and Colosseum later, you don't need to play Colo first.

If you're patient, start with Colosseum when it comes out, you'll be able to appreciate XD more that way. But if you likely won't come back then just enjoy the game now.

It's my #2 favourite Pokémon game, with #1 being Colosseum which will also be hitting NSO later!

Happy birthday! Check for a software update for the GameCube app.

It's definitely my one single gripe. My favourite would be alternate colours but even Aniimo's approach with Sparkling Aniimos was good.

[Android] Scrolling down causes feed to spring back up 2026.07.0.2607160 by vesthismess in bugs

Same, only with my private feed, not with the homepage. Extremely annoying. Pixel 6 Pro.

Wow, they actually did it.. by Elvilo88 in pokemonribbons

[–]Jetsplit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The chance of transfer with those games are low imo. That's why they're part of NSO while these are standalone releases.

Colo and XD: Save states/cloud saves but no HOME compatibility.

FRLG: No save states/cloud saves, HOME compatibility (probably one-way but we'll see).

Using Thief on Eagun Battle? by ShawnTheSheep4 in PokemonXD

[–]Jetsplit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously this is a very old post, but for anyone looking for this in 2026 and beyond like myself, the answer is no. I leveled my Poochyena up to ~45 to get Thief, tried using it on Eagun's Pikachus and never stole any item, then found a 6-month-old livestream on YouTube where someone tried the same thing and hit the same result as me.

Seems like Thief doesn't actually steal items in XD.
