Description
Pokemon Emerald Double Up Delevelled is Pokemon Emerald with the standard modernised item, battle, and pokemon updates. It also makes every possible Trainer Battle into a Double Battle, gives wild encounters a decent chance of Double Battles, makes wild pokemon drop loot, and much more.
The Delevelled part of the name changes your Pokemon stats to not take level into account, the only way to improve your pokemon is to breed for better IVs or to train their EVs. Grinding to overpower with raw numbers is now much less important than having a good strategy. This also allows you to try new pokemon without worrying about the need to grind.

Level Removal
- One of the key features of Double Up Delevelled is that Level is no longer a factor when determining a Pokemon’s stats, with the exception of HP. Now Stats are at a set value based on Base Stat, IVs, and Nature. They will be altered as EVs are gained.
- Level is now more a representation of the state of training, as it still affects the moves a Pokemon knows, the effects of level based moves (such as Seismic Toss), when a Pokemon can evolve, and does make them slightly tougher increasing Max HP by 1 per level gained.
- As of version 2.11, damage also no longer scales based off level
