Ampharos in Polished Crystal

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

Compared with the official games

  • Stats HP 90 → 95, Defense 85 → 90, Sp. Atk 115 → 125, Sp. Def 90 → 95, Speed 55 → 65 (total 510 → 545)
  • Type Electric → Electric / Dragon
  • Abilities gains Mold Breaker and loses Plus

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