Pokemon HeartGold Generations Pokemon Changes

General Changes

• I did not implement a true Hidden Ability system. However, I did give Hidden Abilities as Secondary Abilities for Pokemon who significantly benefit from or have otherwise really cool abilities. So for example, Sylveon gets Pixelate, Gliscor gets Poison Heal, and Crawdaunt gets Adaptability.
• A few pokemon got better abilities at my purely personal discretion. So for example, Blastoise Mega Launcher or Archeops Tangled Feet.
• All ability changes apply to the whole evolutionary family, unless otherwise stated
• All Starter Pokemon automatically get their hidden abilities (where implemented) as secondary abilities.
• The Johto Starters have received the only type-changes in the game, to make them more unique.
  • Meganium becomes Grass/Fairy with Triage
  • Feraligatr becomes Water/Dark with Strong Jaw
  • Typhlosion becomes Fire/Ground with Dry Skin
• If a pokemon family is not here, it has received NO CHANGES
