Biography
Games
Colress is first encountered in the Castelia Sewers after defeating two Team Neo Plasma grunts. He is met again on the northern part of the city. He explains to the player that he disagrees with the old Team Plasma's ambitions to liberate Pokémon from the grasps of humans. He is instantly encountered again on Route 4. He helps the player proceed by moving a group of Crustle that were blocking the path. He then challenges the player to a battle for the first time.
Colress is again seen in the Pokémon World Tournament in Driftveil City. He is the final opponent.
Later on the player encounters him again on Route 22. He talks to the player mostly about Team Neo Plasma and gives the player the Colress Machine.
After the player fights his/her way through the Plasma Frigate, Colress is encountered again in his chamber on the ship. Much to the player's disbelief, Colress reveals that he sided with Team Neo Plasma to help with his research on bringing forth the full power of Pokémon. He then challenges the player to another battle. When he is defeated, he applauds the player's determination and allows entrance to Ghetsis's quarters on the ship.
When the player enters Ghetsis's chamber, he reveals that Colress is the boss of Team Neo Plasma. He rants about his defeat.
Colress remains on the Plasma Frigate even after the player defeats the Elite Four and the Champion. He can be rebattled once per day, and he will give the player a Master Ball after the first rematch. After he is rebattled the first time, he can be found on the helm of the frigate.

| Galvantula was one of the Pokémon Colress used to test the original version of his mind-control device. It appeared to be one of Colress' favorites, as he called it his "star test subject", but passed out when Colress attempted to increase the intensity of the EM waves. After it recovered, it was forced to fight against Ash's Pikachu and Iris' Axew. It was eventually released from Colress's control when Team Rocket stole his data and deactivated the machine. Galvantula's known moves are Thunderbolt and Electro Ball. | ||

| Beartic was one of Colress' test subjects in the Floccesy Town observatory. It was also forced to fight against Ash's Pikachu and Iris's Axew. It was eventually released from Colress's control when Team Rocket stole his computer's data. Beartic's only known move is Ice Beam. | ||

| Colress used his mind-control machine to take control of a Scolipede on two separate occasions. The first Scolipede was one of the Pokémon Colress used in his initial research, being subjected to EM waves within the old Floccesy Town observatory. It was forced to fight against Ash's Pikachu, and was eventually released from Colress' control when Team Rocket stole his data. In Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!, Colress tested out the upgraded version of his mind-control machine on another Scolipede. After the Scolipede fired off an attack, Colress turned his machine off, reverting the Scolipede back to its normal state. The first Scolipede's only known move is Poison Tail. The second Scolipede's only known move is SolarBeam. | ||

| During the battle against the controlled Pokémon in the abandoned observatory, Colress was impressed by Ash's Pikachu's strength. Deciding to use the Electric Mouse for his tests, he attached a receiver to Pikachu and turned his EM wave generator to maximum output. Although Pikachu was forced to attack his Trainer, Ash was able to encourage him to fight against the machine. After a struggle, he managed to destroy the receiver on his head, freeing himself from Colress's control. In Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!, Colress used his perfected mind-control device to take control of Pikachu again. This time, Ash's pleas did not get through to him, and Colress forced the Mouse Pokémon to viciously attack his Trainer. Colress ultimately freed him from control once N traded the Light Stone for Ash's safety. In What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!, during the final battle against Team Plasma, Colress took control of Pikachu for the third time. This time, however, Pikachu was able to fight against the force that controlled him, even disobeying his orders and attacking Reshiram, which was also under Colress's control. Even though Colress fired his device on Pikachu again, he was able to keep fighting, and, together with the similarly-rebelling Reshiram, destroyed the control machine, freeing the controlled Pokémon once and for all. | ||

Trivia
- Colress always appears as the final opponent in the first Driftveil Tournament visit, as the opponents fought are scripted to win, with Hugh being the first trainer, and Cheren being the second.
- Colress lacks a VS sprite the first two times he is fought. When he is fought as the Boss of Team Neo Plasma, he uses the template that N and Ghetsis use when they are battled, and his VS sprite is there. When he is rebattled in the Post-Game, he uses the template used by Hugh.
