Additional Expansions

Previously underwhelming mechanics and locations have been reimagined with new features, rewards, and incentives to explore.

Secret Dens

• Secret Bases have been transformed into Secret Dens: miniature dungeons filled with rare Pokemon, valuable items, and hidden discoveries.
• Pokemon encountered in Secret Dens have a chance of possessing their Hidden Abilities.

Pokemon Contests, NPC Trades, Safari Zone, and More

• Pokemon can consume unlimited Pokeblocks, removing restrictions based on berry types and the availability of NPCs.
• Winning a Pokémon Contest for the first time with a Pokémon rewards you with a cash prize.
• Pokemon received through NPC trades can be customized just like any other Pokemon and always come holding a Lucky Egg.
• Pokeblock Feeders in the Safari Zone attract Pokemon with Hidden Abilities.
• The Trick House features improved rewards, making its challenges more worthwhile.

Altering Caves

• Both Altering Caves have been completely reimagined as distinct locations, each with its own purpose and discoveries.

Guaranteed Acquisition

• All regular Pokemon can be encountered and obtained repeatedly, eliminating the need to worry about permanently missing an encounter.
• Legendary Pokémon are persistent encounters. If an encounter ends without a successful capture, the Pokemon will reappear the following day.
• Never miss out on completing the Pokedex: No Pokemon encounter can permanently lock you out of obtaining a complete collection.

Expanded Weather System: Fog

Fog is now a fully supported weather condition, with unique interactions involving moves, abilities, types, and Pokémon forms.

• Accuracy: Fog reduces accuracy to 80% instead of 60%. Dark-type Pokémon and Pokémon with Prowler are unaffected.
• Prowler (New Ability): Doubles Speed in fog.
• Ominous Veil (New Ability): Summons fog upon entering battle.
• Murky Rock (New Item): Extends the duration of fog summoned by Enshroud.
• Enshroud (New Move): Summons fog.
• Type Interactions: Ghost-type moves are boosted, while Fairy-type moves are weakened.
• Moonlight: Fog is now Moonlight’s favorable weather condition.
• Moonblast: Unaffected by fog’s Fairy-type damage reduction.
• Weather Ball and Castform: Both fully support fog, including Castform’s corresponding form.

Expanded Battle Mechanics

Mega Evolution, Dynamax, Z-Moves, and Terastallization require their associated held items and share a once-per-battle usage restriction.

Mega Evolution

• Retains its established functionality.
• All G-Max forms of fully evolved Pokémon have been converted into Mega Evolutions.

Dynamax

• Doubles the Pokémon’s HP.
• Retains access to unique G-Max moves.
• Requires holding a Dynamax Core.

Z-Moves

• All Z-Crystals have been consolidated into one universal Z-Crystal.
• The universal Z-Crystal allows any of the holder’s moves to be upgraded.
• Using a Z-Move consumes 5 PP from its base move.
• Z-Moves always land critical hits.

Terastallization

• Requires holding a Tera Shard corresponding to the desired Tera type.

Party-Wide Support Abilities

Among the many expanded moves, items, and abilities, several abilities provide unique team-wide support effects.

These abilities benefit eligible teammates without applying their bonuses to the ability holder.

• Serenity: Increases teammates’ secondary-effect activation chances by 50%.
• Rally: Increases teammates’ physical attack damage by 10%.
• Spotter: Increases teammates’ move accuracy by 20%.
• Field Medic: Restores 5% of maximum HP per turn to active teammates.

Miscellaneous Changes

• Extensive changes to Pokémon, items, abilities, movesets, evolution methods, and more.
• Reworked EXP Formulas: Underleveled Pokémon catch up more quickly, while excessive overleveling is discouraged without hard level caps.
• Renewable Nature Mints: Nature Mints can be grown like berries.
• Dynamic Environment: Dynamic time of day and weather systems.
• Trainer Improvements: Every trainer team has been handcrafted or retouched.
• Expanded TM and Tutor Compatibility: TMs and Move Tutors can teach Pokémon directly from storage Boxes rather than only the active party.
• Enhanced DexNav: Displays the possible held items of each Pokémon.
• Expanded Pokédex: Includes all information about Pokémon, such as learnsets, abilities, evolutions, etc.
• Eviolite: Also prevents the holder from evolving.
