• ▸ You can set EVs quick & easy on the Summary Screen.
• ▸ Furthermore, you can change natures and abilities via Summary Screen.
• ▸ You’ll get a new Candy Box (unlimited rare candies) so you can switch teams often to try out new strategies. Rare Candies have Gen 8 mechanics, which means you can evolve at the Level Cap. You can either level up to 4 levels at a time or jump directly to the current Level Cap to save time!
• ▸ Every Pokémon has 31 IVs by default. You can easily change Hidden Power types with the Type Gems.
• ▸ You can set your Speed IVs to 0 (for Trick Room teams) or back to 31 with the new Iron Pill item.
• ▸ All Poké Balls have a 100% catch rate. You can use any ball you like. Additionally, every ball is infinite use.
• ▸ All held items stay on your Pokémon after battling – no more re-equipping Berries & Focus Sashes!
• ▸ Auto-Heal before every battle – no need for medicines or other healing items anymore.
• ▸ Using RH-Hideouts Battle Engine, all Pokémon from Gen 1 to 9 (1200+ Species) including Hisuian forms, and most Gen 9 moves, abilities & items too including DLCs (except a few ones like Paldea Tauros, Pecharunt, and Terapagos).
• ▸ Mega Evolution (Also a Permanent Mega Evolution mode when starting a new game), but not Z-Moves. For some Mega Evolutions, you can even choose between 3 different abilities!
• ▸ Vastly improved Battle UI, which shows Type Effectiveness & STAB to help with some new typings. It even considers abilities such as Levitate. Also, you can press L when selecting moves to check Power, Accuracy, and if the move makes contact – just like in CFRU hacks!
• ▸ Frostbite has replaced Freeze: No more annoying freezes! Frostbite deals 1/16 HP damage per turn. The Special Attack of the affected Pokémon is halved. 3x chance of Frostbite in hail.
• ▸ There are many really strong trainers (including Gym Leaders & E4) waiting for you after you’ve beat the E4. There are up to 4 carefully crafted rematches per trainer. You also don’t have to wait a day anymore to rematch Gym Leaders – you can battle whenever you like!
• ▸ You can choose Singles or Doubles, with or without Legendaries for important RematchesAfter beating the Champ, you can catch all remaining Legendaries (Gen 1 – 7 and two special Pokémon from Gen 8) if you have beaten all trainers on certain routes.
• ▸ Easy Mode: Trainers have no EVs, but you can have them. That’s a huge advantage, but the teams will still be a challenge! Bag use in battles is disabled. The Set battle style is enforced.
• ▸ Ace Mode: Same teams & limitations as in Easy Mode, but every trainer has custom EVs. Also, there is a sleep clause, which prevents putting more than 1 Pokémon to sleep.

• ▸ New Nuzlocke Captures game mode: Only lets you catch one Pokemon per route/area.
• ▸ New Scaled Randomizer game mode: The more you progress, the better Pokemon you get
• ▸ Rewritten move descriptions for more clarity or to describe new effects, now it’s much easier to see the chance for additional effects like flinching, or which moves affect Iron Fist / Mega Launcher etc.
