About Pokemon Emerald Docal

Custom teams, Gym Leader AI and enemies whose EVs rise as the game progresses make Pokémon Emerald Docal a demanding overhaul. Heiner 291 created this completed GBA hack of Pokémon Emerald. Nearly the whole National Pokédex is catchable except legendaries, and all Gym Leaders use six Pokémon. It adds level-cap support through unlimited Rare Candies, revised encounters, permanent weather in some locations, and city grass encounters. Trade evolutions are changed, weaker Pokémon gain stat boosts, and many fully evolved Pokémon receive improved or secondary abilities.

What's in it

  • Nearly all 386 National Pokédex Pokémon are catchable; legendaries are excluded, and encounters are changed.
  • Every trainer uses Gym Leader AI and a custom team.
  • Enemy Pokémon EVs increase over the course of the game.
  • Every Gym Leader uses six Pokémon.
  • Only a few trainers are optional.
  • Maps have minor changes.
  • Some areas have permanent weather, and weather moves cannot be used there.
  • Every city has grass for encounters.
  • Rare Candies are unlimited for reaching level caps.
  • Vitamins become unlimited later in the game.
  • Most PokéMarts carry exclusive items such as TMs, Berries, and battle items.
  • In-game trades are changed and have strong, but not perfect, DVs.
  • Fifteen hidden Move Tutors can reteach moves without limit.
  • Heart Scales can be bought.
  • TMs can be reused.
  • Set-up moves are banned or have limited PP.
  • Level-up move changes are minimal, with adjustments such as Quiver Dance for Bug Pokémon.
  • Some TMs, including Rock Smash, are stronger.
  • Trade evolutions use level-ups or Evolution Stones instead.
  • Most weaker Pokémon have boosted stats, leaving almost none below 480 base stats.
  • Almost all fully evolved Pokémon receive a second ability or a replacement for a poor one.
