Differences with the official games

in versions 4.9 and below, the game mechanics are based on Generation 5, mostly BW2. This includes movepools, stats, various in/out of combat mechanics and type weaknesses/resistances. The Fairy type was added and behaves the same as in the modern games.

In version 5.0 and above, the game was updated to use Generation 7 movesets and battle mechanics.

## Evolutions methods

Several Pokémon have different evolution methods than in the official games. These mostly include Pokémon that normally evolve via trading and Pokémon that normally evolve via happiness/friendship. Here, trade evolution items can be used on Pokémon like evolution stones.

## Moves

A few moves in Pokémon Infinite Fusion have altered from main series games.

### Teleport

When used outside of battle, instead of returning the player to the last Pokemon Center, it acts like Fly by letting the player fast travel to ANY previously visited Pokemon Center. This requires the third badge and only works outside.

As of version 4.5.6, completing the Ruins of Alph puzzle unlocks a secret room where you can change a Pokémon's Hidden Power type.

## HMs

Every HM from the Kanto games exist in the game, but three additional ones have also been added. The location of some of them are also different from the base games.

Unlike in the official games, HMs can be forgotten at any time in Pokémon Infinite Fusion. There are also some items that act as HM replacements.

### TM94 - Rock Smash

Rock Smash has been added. It remains a TM, but it can be used in the field and works the same as in the Gen 2 + games. It is given to the player by Brock outside of Mt. Moon.

### HM05 - Waterfall

Waterfall can be used to climb up waterfalls like in the gen 2+ games. It is obtained by talking with Professor Elm (post game).

### HM06 - Dive

Dive can be used to dive down in deeper water to access secret areas.

### HM07 - Teleport

Teleport is added as an alternative to Fly. It allows you to fast-travel to any previously visited city. It is obtained after defeating the third gym in Vermilion City.

### HM10 - Rock Climb

Rock Climb can be used to climb ledges that you normally can only jump down.

\*HM09 - Bounce was remove and just obtained through the Golbat boots

## Gen 3-7 Pokémon

There are many Pokémon included in the game from later generations. However, since not all Pokémon from generations 3 through 7 are available in the game, these Pokémon have different Pokédex numbers.

See Pokédex for the full list.

## Abilities

The evolutionary lines of Pidgey, Ekans, Diglett, Growlithe, Machop, Geodude, Farfetch'd, Onix, Krabby, Voltorb, Cubone, Hitmonchan (but not its family) Lapras, Snorlax, Aerodactyl, Chinchou, Marill, Dunsparce, Murkrow, Snubbull, Teddiursa, Absol, and Clefairy have their first and second abilities switched, for balance or other reasons (Tangled Feet makes more sense on a fusion with Pidgey's body than its head, for example).

### Pickup

The ability pickup works the same as it would in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Some smaller abilities were also changed like Delibird getting Snow Warning as a Hidden Ability.

## Types

Some Pokémon have had their primary and secondary types swapped.
