If the player places down a Reviver Seed and a boss Pokémon walks over it, if they're defeated a second time and recruited, they'll have nearly double the HP they would have otherwise. This works on every recruitable boss in the game.

Boss HP List

Articuno: 450 Deoxys: 950 Entei: 600 Groudon: 500 Ho-Oh: 800 Jirachi: 350 Kyogre: 600 Latios: 600 Lugia: 800 Mewtwo: 900 Moltres: 400 Raikou: 650 Rayquaza: 600 Regice: 450 Regirock: 450 Registeel: 450 Suicune: 650 Zapdos: 300

Temporary Kecleon Ally

If the Team Leader is wearing a Pass Scarf and passes an attack onto a Kecleon, they will begin to follow them around as a temporary team member would. They'll attack hostile Pokémon on the floor. While they won't appear in the menu they can't be directly attacked. They won't follow the leader to the next floor, and can't be spoken to. If the leader tries to switch places with them, onto a tile Kecleon can't normally walk on, such as Magma, they'll be referred to as a teammate.

Save Deletion

The Japanese version 1.0 release of Blue Rescue Team will delete the save data of GBA games in the second slot of Nintendo DS or Nintendo DS Lite consoles.
