[Battle] Emerald - Turn Dark type into a Physical type and Ghost into Special

[TheNidoKing]

Hi everyone! I have one simple doubt. I always found weird that Dark type is special in gen 3 and Ghost type is physical. I wanted to know how can i switch these two around without using the Physical/Special split. If someone can link me to a tutorial or explain to me how to do it in a hex editor i would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

I don't think there's a simple byte change for doing that. The easiest way to switch them around with binary hacking would likely be to apply the physical special split to your rom and set all ghost type moves as special and dark type moves as physical (and every other move to physical/special depending on its type).

Yeah, i was thinking that might be the best option. Thanks!
