Politoed in Polished Crystal

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

Compared with the official games

Stats Defense 75 → 80, Speed 70 → 80 (total 500 → 515)
Type Water → Water / Grass

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.
