About Pokemon Cubic Crystal
Reworked stats, typings, learnsets, and evolutions without trades give Pokémon Cubic Crystal a rebalance-first take on completed Crystal. It is Jay (TheBirdNotTheLetter)'s English GBC hack of Crystal, version 1.3. Weak Pokémon receive higher stat baselines, growth rates are adjusted, and evolution requirements are eased. Most of the Pokédex can be completed before the Elite Four, excluding Legendaries and unchosen starters. Wild levels improve in Kanto, morning-only Pokémon also appear during the day, and fishing and Headbutt Trees are streamlined. Feraligatr is renamed Colossobek, though the Name Rater can change traded Pokémon names too.

- Gives female and Shiny Pokémon different IV spreads and adjusts starter gender ratios.

- Lets the Pokédex be completed before the Elite Four except for Legendaries and unchosen starters.
- Makes morning-exclusive Pokémon appear during the day too.
