Gyarados (Mega) in Emerald Imperium

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

Compared with the official games

Against the base species it is built from:

  • Stats Attack 125 → 155, Defense 79 → 109, Sp. Atk 60 → 70, Sp. Def 100 → 130 (total 540 → 640)
  • Type Water / Flying → Water / Dark
  • Abilities gains Mold Breaker and loses Intimidate, Moxie

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.
