Aura Reader

The Aura Reader is a headset device used in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness to identify Shadow Pokémon. It will immediately activate when a Shadow Pokémon is sent into battle by your opponent. The Aura Reader is what stops the Snag Machine from snagging Pokémon that are not Shadow Pokémon by sending a signal to the Snag Machine that prevents it from working. An Aura Reader is owned by Michael and is used to help him catch Shadow Pokémon from Cipher.
