Other Colress Machines
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, it is revealed that Colress Machine is a code name Colress designates to some of his inventions. The first two machines are Colress Machine No. 1198 (Japanese: アクロママシーン １１９８号 Achroma Machine No. 1198) and Colress Machine No. 1199 (Japanese: アクロママシーン １１９９号 Achroma Machine No. 1199), also known as the N-Solarizer and N-Lunarizer, respectively. Colress co-developed these machines with the Ultra Recon Squad in an effort to control Necrozma's power.
In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon's Episode RR, Colress uses another machine, Colress Machine No. 1102 (Japanese: アクロママシーン １１０２号 Achroma Machine No. 1102), to return Ghetsis back to the world he came from, saving Lillie in the process. After the player defeats Giovanni, Colress is able to use the machine to undo Team Rainbow Rocket's changes to Lusamine's mansion.

Pokémon Adventures
Colress begun the Colress Machine's development two years before the arc, but some members of Team Plasma opposed his work, as it ran contrary to their beliefs. As such, they secretly developed a method to stop the machine's influence on Pokémon, and the memory card containing that data was entrusted to a ten-year-old girl.
The Colress Machine first appeared in Flying Type and Innocent Scientist, where Colress used it to control Genesect into attacking Blake and Looker. In Unforgettable Memories, Colress reported favorable results from his first test of his invention. Later, in Colress Machine, Whitley's mother revealed that Colress's machine was capable of controlling Pokémon.
In Therian Forme III, Colress used the machine to take control of Zinzolin's Kyurem and had it board the Plasma Frigate. In N Returns, Colress gave the machine to Ghetsis so that he could take Kyurem to face N and Zekrom. In Giant Chasm, Colress was revealed to have retrieved the machine, using it to have Kyurem attack the Unova Pokédex holders. However, Colress suddenly lost control of Kyurem, and Rood appeared, revealing that a machine to counter the Colress Machine's influence had been activated, preventing it from controlling Kyurem anymore. After several failed attempts to make Kyurem obey him, Colress accepted his failure and threw the machine away.
In The Final Battle, Colress was revealed to have developed another, longer-range Colress Machine, which his Beheeyem had secretly been using to control the Red Genesect during his battle against Blake through voice commands he'd been relaying to it. Blake's Pokémon were able to destroy the machine, but as Colress had actually bonded with and personally raised the Red Genesect, it still remained under his control.
