Description

Pokemon Supernova Sun and Pokemon Penumbra Moon are mods for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Like my Rutile Ruby & Star Sapphire hacks and my Nova Sun & Umbra Moon hacks, their main purpose is to provide a more challenging game experience while not artificially limiting the player. The premier feature of Supernova Sun and Penumbra Moon is the ground-up redesign of Pokémon Trainers in the world to increase the game’s challenge. Every trainer in the game has been edited, and the level curve expects use of the Experience Share, which means that the player levels up very quickly. Every Pokémon in Trainers’ teams has a a proper moveset and many are holding items. The Elite Four and Champion are Level 100, and the player doesn’t need to grind to equal that!

Supernova Sun and Penumbra Moon’s secondary focus is inspired by Super Smash Bros. Melee’s “20XX Hack Pack” which is designed to improve competitive players’ ability to practice and grind. In Supernova Sun and Penumbra Moon’s Legit Build, everything obtainable is 100% legal and legitimate for real online battles or trades. In all Builds, some features are designed to make preparing competitive teams much less of a hassle. Competitive hold items are much more available, a 6IV Ditto is available through an in-game trade (holding a Destiny Knot), Eggs hatch in one cycle, and Level 100 Memento Blissey battles are available in the Battle Buffet once the main story has been beaten.​

Features

• Wild Pokémon availability (in three different ways!)
• Wild Pokémon hold items
• Item availability in Poké Marts and from special vendors
• Evolution methods for Trade Evolutions and “Level up in a specific area/version” Evolutions
• Level-Up movesets to handle the increased level curve and add access to TM and Tutor moves (details)
• And much more!

Trainer Changes

• Harsher Level Curve: The game is balanced around use of the EXP Share, which allows for explosive growth. Disabling the EXP share is not recommended.
• All-new Trainer teams, designed from the ground up, many featuring six Pokémon!
• All Captains, Kahunas, and other bosses have six Pokémon!
• Every fully-evolved non-Legendary Pokémon (and Mega Evolution) will be encountered in a Trainer’s team during the main story!
• Totems are powered up and pack new strategies!
• Post-game Memento Blisseys added to Battle Buffet in Hau’oli City!
• Trainers are capable of EV Training their Pokémon!
• While grinding is always possible, the curve is such that the player will be approximately even with all enemy levels.
• The player might become overleveled if they use the Lucky Egg, Pokémon Refresh, and/or the Trade Bonus.

Pokemon Changes

• Wild Pokémon are altered so that every non-Legendary (Tapu/UB/Mythical Pokémon count as Legendary) species is available, at the same level as the Leveled Build. Legendary encounters are not changed in this or any Build. Click here to see where you can catch every Pokémon!
• The player will have access to 58% of non-Legendary evolution lines on Melemele Island alone. This access expands to 83% after Akala Island, and 98% after Ula’ula Island. Every non-Legendary evolution line is available before the Elite Four!
• By editing anything caught in the Expanded Build to have come from an Egg (and making sure to obey Poké Ball legality), even Pokémon from this Build can be made legal, though not technically legitimate.
• All encounter levels are increased to match Supernova Sun & Penumbra Moon’s harsh level curve.
• This Build also features all of the rarity changes of the Legit Build.

Better Level-Up Learnsets!​

• Learnsets have been adjusted to provide better access to moves, particularly in Expanded and Leveled Builds.
• Species no longer “miss out” on moves because they were encountered at a high level, and most “Level 1” moves have been added to the standard level-up learnset.
• TM and Tutor moves have also been added to the Level-Up learnsets. No illegal moves have been added to any species in any Build.
• If you’re breeding Pokémon and both parents know a move that’s normally a Tutor/TM exclusive for the offspring, the offspring will get that move as an illegal Relearner move. To avoid this issue, delete the file /romfs/a/0/1/3 (this will remove all moveset changes!) if you intend to breed without a Ditto or simply check the Pokémon’s Relearn Moves in PKHeX.

Wild Hold Items are improved in all builds!​

• Every species is now capable of holding at least one item in the wild.
• Every species that has a Mega Evolution in its line is capable of holding its Mega Stone in the wild.
• Wimpod, Alolan Meowth, and certain other species have been known to hold Bottle Caps and Gold Bottle Caps!
• Pokémon that evolve through use of a hold item have a chance to hold that item in the wild.
• Pokémon that need a special Incense to produce certain offspring have a chance to hold that Incense in the wild.
• The 10 Fossils available in Gen VII are now held by certain wild Pokémon 50% of the time. Some other Pokémon also have a chance to hold Fossils.

Item Changes

• A new Item, Restoration Wing, has been added to Poké Marts. It fully restores a Pokémon’s HP and status, but cannot be used during battles. This item replaces the Health Wing item, so it won’t show up as an illegal item and can freely be traded to other Gen VII games.
• Sacred Ash has been renamed to “Revival Powder” and is available in Poké Marts! Revival Powder functions as a Max Revive for your whole party, but is unusable during battles.
• Max Repel’s duration is increased by 50%.
• Drink items and the Super Potion have had their Generation I-VI potency restored.
• Revives have been nerfed to only heal 1 HP, to add strategic risk to their use in battle (Sacred Ash is unusable during battles). Beware of passive damage!
• Roto Boost has been nerfed, and now only boosts Attack, Special Attack, and Speed.

Poké Mart Changes

• Less useless junk in Poké Marts! Items like Antidote and Paralyze Heal have been replaced with disposable competitive items like Focus Sash and Weakness Policy.
• Item prices have been altered. Some items are more expensive than standard Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, and many are much cheaper.
• All Poké Balls and Repels are on sale!
• Thrifty Megamart is now the go-to place to purchase competitive items like Leftovers and Life Orb. Don’t forget to grab a Discount Coupon at the door! The third counter sells useful breeding and training items, like Lucky Egg and Ability Capsule.
• Route 8’s Pokémon Center sells second-tier competitive items like Flame Orb, Scope Lens, and Safety Goggles.
• Route 2’s Pokémon Center sells the complete list of standard Poké Balls.
• Hau’oli City’s Pokémon Center sells the complete list of Apricorn Balls, as well as Beast Balls.
• Route 5’s Pokémon Center sells the six EV Reduction Berries, in addition to the Sitrus and Lum berries. Removing unused EVs (SpA on Machamp, etc.) is a great way to passively optimize your team!
• Konikoni City’s Pokémon Center sells Bottle Caps, Gold Bottle Caps, and the six Power Items!
• Mount Lanakila’s Pokémon Center sells everything you need to get your team ready to finish the game: Rare Candy, PP Max, and Heart Scale!
• Full list of Poké Mart Changes.

Evolution Changes

• Trade Evolutions now have alternate methods. You can still evolve them through their normal trade methods.
• Pikachu, Exeggcute, and Cubone have alternate methods to evolve into their Kanto forms. You can still obtain Kantonian Raichu, Exeggutor, and Marowak by evolving them in the Ultra Wormhole.
• Pokémon that evolve in specific areas now have alternate methods. You can still evolve them through their normal level-up locations.
• Eevee can no longer evolve with its normal methods for Gen II+ Eeveelutions. It now uses a Stone to evolve into all of its options. Please note that Sylveon will be detected as illegitimate if it has less than two Affection and has never been traded.
• Version-based Evolutions can now Evolve using the Sun or Moon Stone.

Miscellaneous Features

• Custom Title Screens!
• Eggs now hatch incredibly quickly. Every species now has a 1-cycle hatch rate. Note this doesn’t apply to Event eggs or Traded eggs.
• Switch Mode no longer reveals the incoming Pokémon.
• An in-game trade for a 6IV Ditto (holding a Destiny Knot) now exists!
• New, improved Pickup tables!
• Custom Banners for *.cia/.3ds installs!
