In Pokemon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness a Snag Machine enables a regular Poké Ball to capture a Shadow Pokémon in the game (they can technically "steal" any Pokémon, but in Colosseum, your partner stops you from doing so). In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, the Snag Machine only works on Shadow Pokémon). In the beginning of Colosseum, your character blows Team Snagems' Base apart and steals one. Team Snagem, however, were the only known one to have such a device. In XD Gale of Darkness, your Snag Machine is built by Professor Krane, who is in turn captured by Cipher, and questioned by Lovrina. It is also on a Sinnoh TCG card.

The Snag Machine appears to only contain one arm, but it is stated that there is a larger version of the Snag Machine.
