Bug Fixes

• -Ice didn’t resist Ground as intended. Now it does! It was just a simple typo.
• -Vanilluxe’s level up moves were slightly off, but have now been fixed to to match the documents.
• -Max Revives no longer work, as I had intended.
• -Archen’s level up moves have been updated to 1.1’s version.
• -Counter and Mirror Coat’s move descriptions have been updated to accurately portray their effects.
• -The text before the Elite 4 has been updated to portray the fact that you cannot use Golden Bottle Caps until the league is defeated, but the level 100 scale is still beneficial, since the E4 are all equal in level, and maintaining your levels is impractical.
• -Gladion’s Zebstrika now has Speed EVs as intended for the last fight with him at Mount Lanakila.
• -Breaking Swipe is a spread move now, as intended.
• -Terrakion is no longer compatible with Psychic Terrain.

Pokemon Changes

• -Amoonguss’s line now has Unaware instead of Dry Skin.
• -Zen Mode Darmanitan now has Analytic and Magic Bounce instead of Turboblaze and Comatose.

Miscellaneous Changes

• -Kyurem has it’s theme when you catch it in Mount Lanakila.
  Boss Battle Changes
• -All trainers who had Amoonguss and Zen Darmanitan previously have been updated to match their new abilities. All the regular trainers, Plumeria and Dulse.
• -When you fight Guzma in Po Town, it’s now a double battle. I’ve reworked the fight to function as a challenging double battle, with U-Turn and Protect left and right. You fight him 3 times on Ula’Ula essentially, and all 3 times are way too close to each other, especially the one in Po Town and the one in Aether. Now, they feel much less repetitive thanks to a Double in the middle.
• -Sophocles’s Galvantula has HP Ice > Shock Wave, since Shock Wave is especially useless on trainers, since trainer AI has no idea how to properly utilize priority moves- and HP Ice lets it hit all kinds of things, especially Lando. Just makes it a little less easy to wall than before, nothing crazy.
• -Totem Watchog now has STAB again. I forgot to remove Covet, and it was changed to Fairy-type, so it did not have STAB. Now it has 50 BP Swift, with +2 Priority, which can be quite disruptive.
