Houndoom (Mega) in Emerald Imperium

Dark / Fire — 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 90 → 110, Defense 50 → 90, Sp. Atk 110 → 140, Sp. Def 80 → 90, Speed 95 → 115 (total 500 → 620)
  • Abilities gains Dark Aura, Solar Power and loses Early Bird, Flash Fire, 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.
