Maractus in Emerald Imperium

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

Compared with the official games

Stats Attack 86 → 106, Sp. Atk 106 → 85 (total 461 → 460)
Abilities gains Grassy Surge and loses Storm Drain

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.
