[Graphics] Almost ready to release my Emerald version hack but I need some bug-fixing help!

    I'm working really hard to get a nice level of polish on my hack so i'm trying to eliminate any bugs that can possibly exist! I have painstakingly remade the game from scratch several times to remove any gameplay bugs but some graphical ones have persisted. Currently the only bugs are that status effect moves always display the "stat going up" animation even when a stat is going down and that when eggs are viewed in the party they have their colors messed up and gray scaled. When the egg hatches it looks fine and its party icon is also fine. They hatch fine as well, the only issue being it's colors when it is specifically viewed in the party screen.

    Basically, I would love some help with reprinting the old egg sprite to a new one to fix this graphical error as well as some insight into why the stat increasing animation is the only one that plays. The colors are all correct corresponding to the status being applied but the animation will always be the one of a buff and never of a debuff.

    As for the egg sprite, there appeared to be some data overflow that caused the egg to be gone from unLZ as well as chimecho. Chimecho is completely screwed and had to actually be remade and inserted over an empty Pokémon slot as after the overflow any instance of seeing a chimecho would completely crash the game so all of his appearances basically had to be replaced with a new chimecho. The egg, on the other hand, is much more confusing as it is not simply a Pokémon and without its unLZ offset I have no idea how to find its sprite! Is there any way I can insert a new egg sprite in and repoint it to fix this issue?

    For the status animations bug, I have applied the physical special split patch that comes with added mega evolution features as well. If this is believed to be the issue please let me know! This issue is less important to me than the egg one but I'd really love to fix it still
