Ekans in Emerald Imperium

Poison — where to catch it, what it learns, and how it differs from the official games.

Compared with the official games

  • Abilities gains Corrosion and loses Unnerve

Compared against present-day official data. The Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived after Pokémon Emerald, so a difference here can belong to the series rather than to this hack.

Other changes in this hack

  • Evolves into Arbok at level 22
  • Egg moves: Pursuit, Slam, Spite, Beat Up, Poison Fang, Scary Face, Poison Tail, Disable, Switcheroo, Iron Tail, Sucker Punch, Snatch
