All Pokémon with changed typings have an adjusted color palette that indicates the type change. Some dual types also received a type change. All fully evolved monotype Pokémon in Platinum received a regional form with additional typing. To ensure that no two Pokémon have the exact same purpose, there are no fully evolved monotype Pokémon in Platinum Redux. All fully evolved Pokémon have a unique niche/purpose.All stats, typings, abilities, learnsets, and much more can be found in the documentation. There is no way to perfectly balance hundreds of Pokémon but in Platinum Redux every Pokémon should be useful throughout the whole game. Legendaries have, however, still the highest base stats. On the other hand, some Pokémon (mostly legendaries) have received slight nerfs. To ensure that every fully evolved Pokémon is useful up until the champion fight, most Pokémon got some sizable buffs to stats, moves, or abilities. I really dislike that in mainline Pokémon games some Pokémon are straight-up useless later in the game. Make every fully evolved Pokémon viable until late game.If you want to play a game more similar to mainline Pokémon games, Platinum Redux is sadly not the ROM-Hack you are looking for. For anyone who doesn´t like being surprised, there is documentation for every change. Players new to Platinum Redux will be constantly surprised by different Pokémon forms, new moves, and changed abilities. Furthermore, every single Pokémon has adjusted stats, abilities, or learnsets. There are also a lot of regional forms in Platinum Redux with changed typings. Therefore, the ROM-hack is less like the mainline Pokémon games. The Pokémon and move changes are more extreme in Platinum Redux. Platinum Redux has a lot of things like quality of life changes in common with Renegade Platinum but there are also massive differences.

Every Platinum ROM-Hack will inadvertently be compared to Renegade Platinum. Renegade Platinum is one of the best and most polished Pokémon ROM-Hacks.


The changes listed below aim to provide a more challenging Platinum experience focused on team building and battling. Platinum Redux is a difficulty rom hack of Platinum. Also, be sure to check out Pokemon Renegade Platinum Description
