  • TR78 Sludge Wave and the Leaf Stone are optional items found by exploring side paths.
  • Digging Pa offers Watts in exchange for Armorite Ore, similar to the Digging Duo in the main game.
  • The Max Mushrooms are glowing red items in the Warm-Up Tunnel.
  • Klara's team is Poison-heavy, while Avery's team is Psychic-heavy. Choose your Pokémon accordingly.
