Tauros (Paldea Water) in Polished Crystal
Fighting / Water — 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 100 → 110, Defense 95 → 105, Sp. Atk 40 → 30, Speed 110 → 100
- Type Normal → Fighting / Water
- Abilities gains Cud Chew and loses Sheer Force
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.
