Final Tips & Resources
- Save often – No autosave. A random Wobbuffet with Destiny Bond can end your run.
- Use the documentation – The hack includes detailed encounter tables and boss teams (search for "Eternal X Wild Pokémon Locations Google Doc").
- Try the “All Gen 6” run – For fun, beat the game only using Kalos-native Pokémon (like Aegislash, Dragalge, or Goodra). It’s viable and rewarding.
Gym 2: Grant (Cyllage City) – Level Cap: 28
- Type: Rock
- The Nightmare Team: Archen (Acrobatics, no item), Tyrunt (Dragon Dance), Relicanth (Rock Head/Head Smash), Magcargo (Shell Smash), Rhyperior (Solid Rock/Wood Hammer), Aerodactyl (Pressure/Stone Edge).
- Strategy: You need a Water or Grass type. Ludicolo (Lotad from Route 4) is MVP. Rain Dance disables Magcargo’s Fire moves. Lucario with Drain Punch beats Rhyperior. Do not let Tyrunt set up a Dragon Dance.
- Reward: TM01 (Hone Claws) and TM80 (Rock Slide).
Version Differences: Which Should You Play?
Before starting, you must choose your difficulty. Eternal X comes in several variants:
| Version | Difficulty | Best For | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Standard | Similar to Pokémon Platinum or USUM. Gyms have 4-6 mons; enemy levels scale higher. | First-time hack players. | | Insanity | Extremely brutal. Bosses have perfect IVs, optimized EV spreads, and competitive items (Choice Scarf, Life Orb). Requires full team planning. | Veterans seeking a nuzlocke or hardcore challenge. | | Rebalanced | Same difficulty as Standard, but Pokémon stats/moves are tweaked (e.g., Mega Audino, buffed Beedrill). | Players who want fresh gameplay. | pokemon eternal x guide
Recommendation: Start with Standard unless you enjoy grinding and resetting. Pokémon Eternal X — Useful Guide Quick sample
