Pokemon Rising Ruby And Sinking Sapphire Info

In vanilla Gen 3, all Fire moves were Special and all Fighting moves were Physical. This hurt Pokémon like Gyarados (high Attack, but Water was Special) or Sneasel (high Attack, but Dark was Special). In these hacks, the move types are decoupled from the damage category. Crunch is now Physical. Flamethrower is Special. This makes every Pokémon viable.

Many "weaker" Pokémon received base stat increases to remain viable. Several HMs, such as (now Grass-type) and Rock Smash , have been buffed in power to be more useful in battle. Item Accessibility: Pokemon Rising Ruby and Sinking Sapphire
