You can easily change Hidden Power types with the Type Gems. You can either level up to 4 levels at a time or jump directly to the current Level Cap to save time! Rare Candies have Gen 8 mechanics, which means you can evolve at the Level Cap. You'll get a new Candy Box (unlimited rare candies) so you can switch teams often to try out new strategies. Furthermore, you can change natures and abilities via Summary Screen. Zero Grinding- You can set EVs quick & easy on the Summary Screen. Also, every Trainer now uses the smartest AI. Also, all ability descriptions have been rewritten for more accuracy! Reworked & Stronger AI: We revamped the AI to include all new/changed abilities & moves.
110+ New Custom Abilities: Featuring a total of over 370 abilities with around 50 changed/extended abilities, you will have lots of options to defeat the many challenges awaiting you. When choosing the Elite Difficulty, there is a good chance you will get slapped by the first Trainer if you're not prepared. Be creative! Battle Style is always "Set". You won't meet the same brain-dead Poochyena with Tackle everywhere -) Unique Difficulty: Most strategies the AI uses, you can too. Every rematch has been crafted individually for variety. Most trainers have full competitive movesets with varying held items. Imagine Gyarados with Moxie & Aerilate or Intimidate at the same time! Every Single Trainer Has A Full Custom Moveset: Every Trainer party has been reworked manually, considering all new/changed abilities & moves. This creates fun new strategies and endless replayability, as you can play many Pokémon in several ways. Up to 4 Abilities At The Same Time: Every Pokémon can have up to 3 switchable abilities along with up to 3 fixed ones (innates). You can use Elite Redux or parts of it and do whatever you want. Since this hack is based on Inclement Emerald / Yda patch (with permission from Buffel Saft & Yda □), I continue the spirit of making the game open-source. What was originally just intended for myself to enjoy and in development for over 2 years now, I can proudly share my dream ROM hack with you. Then Exceeded came out, and I knew what I wanted to do, since Exceeded was lacking essential things for me (unique trainers, difficulty and QoL). I always felt a bit limited by just having one ability per Pokémon at the same time. There is also an Easy Mode, which is explained below. This is a difficulty hack, which I tried to make as challenging as possible without giving the enemy too much unfair advantages. I always loved battling most, trying out new strategies. When I played through Gaia, Unbound, Radical Red, Inclement Emerald etc., I wanted to create a game to cater to my taste - rebalancing everything for more fun & variety, while reducing grinding. I've been playing ROM hacks for many years now, and started making custom patches for myself to ROM hacks I loved many years ago. I loved Pokémon games since I was 6 years old. Its features combined are probably nothing you've seen before. Pokémon Elite Redux is not just another difficulty hack.
TL DR: If you like challenges, love battling & teambuilding with zero grinding, all within a fresh & unique package with tons of Quality of Life changes, this hack is for you.
