About Renegade Platinum
Drayano's overhaul of Pokémon Platinum. All 493 Pokémon can be caught in Sinnoh before the Elite Four, base stats, types, abilities and move data are updated to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon values, and the Fairy type is added to the Gen IV engine in place of the unused ??? type. Every trainer in the game has a rebuilt team with held items, sensible abilities and four-move sets, gym leaders and the Elite Four field six Pokémon, and the Elite Four pick at random from four different teams on the first run. Level-up movepools are rewritten for every species, trade evolutions become item or level evolutions, all TMs are reusable with 99 uses, and every legendary — including the Johto and Hoenn ones — has a quest somewhere in Sinnoh. The hack ships as one patch with a separate optional Classic patch that keeps official types, stats and abilities.

What this guide covers
Every guide here is built from the hack's own documentation. Where a hack changed something but never published the numbers, this says so rather than quietly filling the gap with the original game's — which would be worse than leaving it out.

| Encounter rates | From the hack | |
| Wild levels | From the hack | |
| Stats, abilities and movesets | From the hack | |
| TM and HM compatibility | From the hack | Compatibility is Platinum's own slot table plus every 'now compatible with' line in the documentation. Six TMs were replaced with different moves in this hack, so their compatibility lists are the closest the documents allow. |

Reading the tables
RatesPercentages are the hack's own encounter rates; * marks anything at 5% or less.
TimeMorning, Day and Night are separate tables in Gen IV — the game clock decides which one you get.
RodsFishing levels are fixed in this hack: Old Rod 10, Good Rod 25, Super Rod 50.
VersionsThe Complete version is what you get from the base patch. Switching to Classic here shows the official Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon stats, types and abilities where the two differ.
MachinesTM compatibility is the base game's slot compatibility plus every addition the hack's documentation lists. Six TMs were given new moves (Scald, Wild Charge, Bug Buzz, Hyper Voice, Dazzling Gleam, Hurricane), so treat those rows as a guide rather than gospel.
TrainersRosters marked as rematches are the Vs. Seeker teams a trainer switches to once you have the badges listed. In the first Elite Four run each member picks one of four teams at random.
EventsGift, static and legendary encounters come from the hack's Special Events document; most legendaries need a quest after the credits, so read that document for the steps.
AbilitiesAn asterisk next to a trainer's Pokémon marks an ability it cannot normally have, its set nature, or a slot that only appears on one of that trainer's teams.
