Description
Garbage Gold is a HeartGold trashlocke hack built around using only “trashmons”, Pokémon with a base stat total under 425 (with a few exceptions). Many Pokémon either don’t evolve or evolve much later than usual, forcing creative strategies and unconventional team-building. Despite the restrictions, a a variety of Pokémon are available from Gen 1 to 9 including regional forms, making each run unpredictable and replayable.
Your starters? Let’s just say they’re… not great.

Switch-in AI
The below flowchart shows the AI’s decision-making process when choosing which Pokémon to switch into during battle. Each available party member is evaluated based on factors like whether it can deal damage, outspeed the opponent, survive a hit, or score a knockout. Special cases like Ditto, Wobbuffet, and Wynaut are also considered. Each option is assigned a switch priority score, and the Pokémon with the highest score is selected, ensuring the AI makes smarter, more strategic choices rather than switching at random.
