Dex Completion

In Pokemon Mu Magma, all Hoenn Pokémon from Gen III can be obtained through wild encounters or evolution, and forms introduced in Gen IV are also catchable. Starter Pokémon and trade evolutions are available in the wild, making it possible to complete the regional Pokédex without needing to trade. Even Gengar makes an appearance in Hoenn because, well, Gengar’s awesome!

There are also dialogue changes and small characterization tweaks to reflect your new role as a Team Magma Grunt, adding uniqueness while preserving much of the original gameplay. Though it’s not a full story overhaul, you’ll find surprises along the way!
