Mega Crabominable and Mega Golisopod from Legends Z-A DLC added
Added option to disable level caps
Can now change a Pokémon’s Poké Ball by using a new one as an Item in the Bag menu
Wishing Well Pokémon are now in Cherish Balls by default
Re-coded DexNav shiny calculation:
- Starts with 4 base Shiny rerolls for any DexNav Pokémon
  - Shiny Charms give +2 rerolls each
  - Chain Bonuses: 100 Chain gives +10 rerolls, 50 Chain gives +5 rerolls, and other chains above 20 give +3 rerolls
  - Pokémon Search Level now maxes out at 100, providing +2 rerolls
  - Standard Pokémon shiny calculation reroll code is used, looping through the Pokémon creation code for however many rerolls you have until they run out or a shiny Pokémon is generated!
  - Thank you all for bearing with me on this. DexNav shiny hunting should hopefully be all set now! (Unless I messed something up… lol)

Balance Changes:

Mega Raichu X is now Electric/Fighting
- Raichu gets Power-Up Punch, Fire Punch, and Thunder Punch as Level 1 moves (learn via Move Relearner in Pythios Town!)
- Mega Scrafty ability -> Filter
- Mega Greninja ability -> Protean (works only once per battle)
- Mega Gogoat ability -> Stamina

- Aurorus given access to Dazzling Gleam and Moonblast to take advantage of Mega Evolution typing
- Mega Centiskorch ability -> Tinted Lens
- Drakloak -> Dragapult evolution level reduced to 48 (from 60)

Minor Changes & Bug Fixes:

2 special new challengers at Wakewater Isle… Try to find them both!
- Removed low health beep effect
- TM21 finally now Acid Spray, not Frustration
- Raging Bolt as following Pokémon no longer freezes Pokémon Center
- Updated Tyrantrum sprite
- Black Augurite removed from Mining Minigame, instead being given by Girl in Fossil House on Marmaro Island
  - I swear I could not get the mining bug fixed for it lol, so this is a workaround
    - Remember, all evolution items can also be bought at the Ruins of Ahiyawa!
- Dive collision problems fixed
- Tons of bug fixes and little moveset / TM learn fixes
  - Remember, please DO NOT USE MyBoy OR VBA TO PLAY THIS GAME! Those emulators are horribly outdated and struggle with modern Rom Hacks. Y’all have no idea how many bug reports I get from MyBoy users lmfao
