Big ugly list cut/pasted from \#39 (and then quickly formatted to actually be a list):

- **For everything**: figure out what the party leader is. I assumed it’s the first thing that can battle—which is also whatever will follow you around in HG/SS—but Bulbapedia suggests it’s **the first Pokémon** no matter what a few places. Maybe the definition changes between Emerald and Diamond/Pearl or something?
- **Hyper Cutter**: Figure out exactly who has to have this for the Cut bonus in Gen III—the lead Pokémon? any Pokémon? the Cutting Pokémon? (Right now, my description assumes Bulbapedia’s right with “any Pokémon”.)
- **Synchronize**: I trust the overworld effect here; just double-check all the things it supposedly won’t work on.
- **Magnet Pull**: Figure out the overworld effect.
- **Hustle**: Figure out the overworld effect. Compare with Vital Spirit and Pressure.
- **Vital Spirit**: See Hustle.
- **Pressure**: See Hustle.
- **Intimidate**: Figure out the overworld effect; see if it’s secretly identical to Hustle et al.
- **Keen Eye**: Figure out the overworld effect. Figure out when it first appeared (probably Emerald).
- **White Smoke**: Figure out the overworld effect. What does “decreased” mean? Does it work when fishing etc? Compare with Quick Feet, Shadow Tag, and Stench.
- **Quick Feet**: See White Smoke.
- **Shadow Tag**: See White Smoke.
- **Stench**: Double-check the overworld effect, which is the only effect. See White Smoke.
- **Illuminate**: Double-check the overworld effect, which is the only effect. Compare with Swarm, Arena Trap and No Guard.
- **Swarm**: Figure out both overworld effects, especially the encounter rate one. See Illuminate.
- **Arena Trap**: See Illuminate.
- **No Guard**: See Iluminate.
- **Suction Cups**: Figure out what game the overworld effect first appeared in (probably Emerald). Figure out just how it works. Compare to Sticky Hold.
- **Sticky Hold**: See Suction Cups.
- **Cute Charm**: Figure out the overworld effect. Probably appeared in Emerald.
- **Snow Cloak**: Figure out the out-of-battle effect.
- **Sand Veil**: Figure out the out-of-battle effect and compare to Sand Stream.
- **Sand Stream**: See Sand Veil.
