In addition, pages include notes for items only accessible after specific events (e.g., requiring the Coin Case, or after Gym 7).

(For full Mart-by-Mart inventory, see the original item-locations table in the document.)

Johto Gym Leaders

Falkner, Bugsy, Whitney, Morty, Chuck, Jasmine, Pryce, Clair (and others) with updated movesets and learned moves to reflect balance changes. Gym Leaders are designed to be challenging but fair, with Ace Pokemon drawn from Johto or other significant themes. Rematches provide a tougher test, including gym rematches and late-game challenges. The section includes detailed move pools and trainer-adjusted strategies.

Kanto Gym Leaders

Lt. Surge, Erika, Misty, Janine, Sabrina, Brock, Blaine, Blue, and others with revised movesets and items. The section presents updated gym leader moves, items, and strategies to provide a coherent post-game challenge that integrates Johto content with Kanto challenges. The data includes each leader’s team and their known moves.

Rival Changes

Rival #1 through Rival #7 have updated teams with conditional Pokemon depending on starter choice, fixed encounters, and rematch configurations. The rival battles scale in difficulty and reflect a more dynamic progression, especially in late-game battles at Victory Road and Indigo Plateau, with multiple variants and conditional Pokemon levels.

Elite 4 Remakes

The Elite Four and Champion are reworked to form one of the most challenging experiences in the game, with Johto-based teams and a narrative twist from Lance about Red and Zapdos. Each member features unique, balanced Pokemon with tailored movepools and held items, challenging players to adapt and strategize.

Battle Tower

The Battle Tower is upgraded to reflect legacy changes, offering escalating tiered challenges with unique themes: Level 10 High Power, Level 20 Tricky Sets, Level 30 Full Coverage, Level 40 Status Hell, Level 50 Wacky Sets, Level 60 Martydom, Level 70 Baton Pass, Level 80 Best of Kanto, Level 90 Best of Johto, Level 100 Best of the Best. Rewards align with tier levels, including rare items and room decorations.

Trainers

Crystal Legacy Trainer Documentation (Version #1.2) introduces major battle documentation changes: more viable teams, better rotations of Pokemon on routes, increased difficulty in late-game trainer battles, and special case scenarios for trainers who beat eight gyms or reach the Elite Four. The documentation includes trainer lists and team compositions updated across playtests and releases.

Rematches

Rematch details include Falkner, Bugsy, Whitney, Morty, Chuck, Jasmine, Pryce, Clair, Lance and Red with alternative teams and post-champion rematches. The rematches feature a range of moves and strategies designed to offer significant increases in difficulty and rewards for the player who can master the new systems.

Closing notes

Crystal Legacy represents a global rebalancing of a classic Gen II experience, increasing challenge and depth across learnsets, encounters, and trainer fights while retaining the core feel of the original Crystal. The project includes community-driven contributions, sprites, Pokedex enhancements, and extensive documentation to guide players through the revamped Johto and Kanto experiences.
