List of alterations from core series games
From The Pokemon Insurgence Wiki
Pokémon Insurgence typically follows ORAS rules for game mechanics and Pokémon data (moveset, abilities, etc). Some of these rules have been intentionally changed for quality-of-life purposes or to supplement new Insurgence features.
General
- The maximum level is 120 instead of 100.
- Breeding uses a mixture of mechanics from different generations instead of strictly following ORAS mechanics (see the main article)
- Poisoned Pokémon take poison damage outside of battle, following mechanics from Generation IV.

Moveset additions
Note: Moves added by Insurgence-exclusive TMs are not listed here but on the wiki page for the TM.
Additionally, Pokémon are able to learn moves from TMs and Tutors that existed in Generations I to V if the TM/Tutor exists in Insurgence even if the TM/Tutor does not exist in Generation VI games.
General:
Almost all Pokémon learn Acid through tutoring.

Evolution method changes
- Pokémon that evolve through trade can be evolved by the Witchdoctor if all other conditions are met (except for Karrablast and Shelmet, which do not have trade partner requirements when evolved by the Witchdoctor).
- Magneton and Nosepass evolve into Magnezone and Probopass, respectively, when leveled up inside the Whirl Islands.
- Inkay evolves into Malamar starting at level 30 when leveled up; no other conditions must be met.
- Eevee evolves into Sylveon when leveled up knowing a Fairy-type move and having high friendship.
Abilities
- Synchronize has a 100% chance to make wild encounters share the user's Nature, up from 50% in core series games.
- However, Synchronize does not affect gift Pokémon.
- No Guard does not affect one-hit knock out moves.
- Poison Heal causes the user to gain 1 HP for every 4 steps the player takes if poisoned.
- Magic Guard prevents the damage caused by poison when walking in the overworld.
- Snow Warning and Sand Stream prevent the user from taking damage from their respective weather conditions.
- While fishing, a Pokémon leading the party with Suction Cups or Sticky Hold immediately hooks a Pokémon that bites.
- However, Suction Cups and Sticky Hold do not increase the chances of receiving bites while fishing.
- Pickup uses the item drops from Pokémon Black and White except it gives IV Stones from Lv. 71-80 and Lv. 81-90 instead of Prism Scales.
