Pokémon Crystal - Battle Tower Enhanced (BTE) (Vanilla + Krusty Versions)
this hack changes the battle tower to allow you and your opponent to bring 6 pokemon with no item clause. all the oppoenents you face have the stats they would have at level 100 along with max DVs and stat EXP.
based on the crystal disassembly:

this hack's github link (only builds krusty version):
https://github.com/KrustyKong/pokecrystal-battletower-enhanced
Patches: (Includes patches for Vanilla ver and Krusty ver)

the krusty version makes further changes to the battle system, namely phys/spec split, fairy type, and most of the moves have been edited to be better. its too much to list here, so check the github to see the exact files and how it works.
vanilla version plays exactly like regular pokemon crystal.
THIS HACK WAS DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH A SAVE EDITOR.
PKHeX is the best one, since its compatible with every generation, and can directly edit stat values.

its a really easy program that you could figure out by just playin around w, so if you feel confident you can skip the tutorial at the bottom

crystal clear save files dont work with this hack, so feel free to edit the included save file. It starts in the Battle Tower, with all the badges, so you can just edit the name and trainer id in PKHeX and be good to go. regular crystal save files might work with a simple rename, but always backup your files just in case.
INTRO:
i made this cuz i wanted some challenging 6v6 GSC battles (or any past gen really), but no one plays it on showdown and its pretty much impossible to simulate it otherwise.
i suggest you play this hack by playing and creating a team naturally in crystal clear, open up two windows of PKHeX, drag your mons over to the BTE version, and edit the stats accordingly. then, when you clear a streak and get your stat medicine item, you can jus max out the stat EXP in the crystal clear save or smth. since that game's good for level grinding, but not stat grinding.
i eventually might make this hack playable on its own (without having to transfer mons over via save editor) but for now, this is to be used kinda as an expansion pack to the main game.
dont be shy to edit your pokemon's stats, you can always have them have perfect stats here, but in your main save keep the IVs the same.
but yea anyway, HERE're the detailed changes:
