About Pokemon Polished Crystal
Modern battle mechanics, 253 Pokémon, expanded maps, and post-game rematches make Pokémon Polished Crystal a large Crystal expansion.

It adds new evolutions, 48 moves, 75 TMs, and 31 move tutors alongside the Fairy type, physical-special split, Natures, and Abilities. Unlimited TMs, Running Shoes, and continuous Repel improve traversal. Maps include reworked Red, Blue, and Yellow locations, adapted HeartGold and SoulSilver areas, and original places. Lorelei, Agatha, Lyra, and Team Rocket Executives are among the added characters.
