Trainers
-
Your rival’s team has been totally revamped! (No more wave 25 Dracovish!)
- Slot 2 Flying Types have been given set abilities
- Slot 3 has been entirely replaced. No longer is a single stage above 450 BST and is instead a list of mons that evolves as the run continues onward

- Slot 5 has been adjusted. Now includes a selected list of Pseudo-legendaries and other Pokémon with equivalent power
- Rival's team generation will now avoid sharing types and also sharing too many weaknesses.
- Specifically, the Pokémon in slots 3 and 4 will be prohibited from generating if they share a type with any of the prior slots, or if adding them would cause the rival's first 4 slots to have more than 2 of the same weaknesses.
- These typings will consider what the Pokémon would evolve into, not what it would generate for that wave. It also ignores slots 5 and 6, so overlaps in weaknesses or types in these slots are permissible.
-
