Pikachu in Polished Crystal

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

Compared with the official games

Stats Attack 55 → 65, Sp. Atk 50 → 60, Speed 90 → 95 (total 320 → 345)

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.
