How to Get Focus Sash and Choice Items from Quests
- Show a Pokémon with 125+ base stat in the respective stat (e.g., Chuck asks for a Pokémon with strong attack, so show a Pokémon with 125+ base attack like Terrakion).
About the Sheet
- All of the trainer information in this sheet is 100% accurate, obtained via byte copying and using the Stat Scanner or thanks to source code data.
- Even if something looks very wrong, that's how it is in-game. Feel free to report text typos if you find any.
- All opposing Pokémon's moves in this sheet have PP maxed.
- If a Pokémon has Gyro Ball in its moveset or is part of a Trick Room team, it has zero speed IVs.
- The rival’s chosen starter determines what team he gets. If he has the Squirtle team, that means the player chose a Fire-type starter Pokémon.
- Since Hardcore Mode auto-enables Minimal Grinding Mode, opponents don't have EVs, except for one specific case, the Ghost Marowak, which has 252 HP EVs.
- All speed stats are determined based on when you're expected to battle that trainer in the game.
