You don't need any equipment
All you need is the ROM, Yuzu and follow the instructions in the readme file

You mean how do you get the ROM?
If you have it on your switch, I would google how to upload it to your PC
If you don't have it on switch, just use google to find it. no one can give you a link.......

1 im posting this so others can see how hard it is and 2 none of the links work and finally to transfer from my switch would need stuff I've never even heard of before let alone know where to get.

What links don't work? because the links on the main page work fine
And if you want to play on PC with Yuzu, you don't need to transfer anything really, if you download a ROM
If you want to transfer your own ROM from your switch to your PC, that I don't know how to do (though I bet there are plenty of tutorials)
All the rest is super easy, I did it back when this was released and it took basically zero effort
Emulators like Yuzu make it super simple to install mods like this one (as opposed to ROM hacks for older games, which actually require patching the ROM externally, here you simply add the mod over the original ROM and you are done. quick and easy)

how do i randomize divine sword?

 

[ZyraKerrigan]

Hi there! This game looks really interesting I'd love to give it a go :D I know you said you can't go rad-red level on it, but if there's a scale from 1-10 with 1 being the vanilla games and 10 being rad red, how hard would you say this is? :D

 

[Kobazco]

Hey everyone, long time no see! Quick announcement: I finally got switch AI working! That means Divine Sword & Blessed Shield 2.0 will be happening! Dunno when I'll get the time to ensure the other features I wanna add are working, but the bulk of the update will just be an update to trainer AI. Trainer parties, etc, will likely remain unchanged.

First post here- Wanted to tell you that I loved playing through this romhack. However, a HUGE issue that I saw - In the pokemart where the EV grinding items are located, the Power Bracer is missing and instead is replaced by the Macho Brace. This is unintentional according to the documentation. And it's a really big issue because it means that EV grinding for physical attack is way way way more difficult than anything else - I had to pivot my team composition to only have special attackers because it's 20x easier to grind special attack with power lens than using the macho bracer.

 

[Ruiz4u]

I can't install the game on yuzu Android help me

 

[Ganimer]

@Kobazco , happy to hear you will be working on a 2.0 update , but if it doesn't bother can I ask you to please swap sceptile's attack and sp. attack stat in the next update! A lot of rom hacks do it and it would be awesome in SwSh in particular because of terrain boosted grassy glide especially that rom hacks are the only place physical sceptile can exist because GF doesn't wanna do it for some reason . Tysm and continue doing a great job

 

[Chaotic_Ikonik]

When or how do i use the fly locations?

 

[jlpgamer]

Hello, the game freezes every time I enter a max raid and at the beginning of the first gym battle, any way to fix this?

Pokémon Divine Sword & Blessed Shield - v1.1

I can't believe I am finally writing this, but Phives and I are proud to finally present Pokémon Divine Sword & Blessed Shield, a difficulty romhack. Why release another romhack when Sacred Sword & King's Shield is out, you may ask? Well to be quite honest, that project was rushed and is not something we are particularly proud of. So, we have been working on an entirely new one ever since the release of the Crown Tundra. Now, over half a year later and a LOT of hours sunk into playtesting, we are finally ready to release the first version!

Intro - What is Pokémon Divine Sword & Blessed Shield?
Pokémon Divine Sword & Blessed Shield is a difficulty romhack, taking inspiration mostly from Drayano's work. However, I also played Radical Red last year and took some inspiration from that, although outside of QoL features those are purely optional. So don't worry if you want to play in Switch mode and use healing items in battle! We've made edits to nearly every Pokemon, mainly focusing on making egg and tutor moves available through normal level up movesets as well as providing buffs and new moves to tons of different Pokémon. Of course, there is documentation for everything included in the google drive folder with the download. We've of course redone the team of every single trainer in the game, and hope to encourage team building in order to over come these challenges. However, it is important to remember that all of this is done within the confines of Sword & Shield. We cannot make the AI super smart, nor can we force certain aspects like a level cap, etc. However, we have gone to great lengths in order to make it the best we possible could.

Notable Features:

Spoiler:

• Completely reworked Raid rewards system
• All 600 Pokémon from Sword & Shield (including DLC) catchable outside of the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra
• Overhauled boss battles
• Quality of life features such as purchasable EV reducers
• Shop overhauls in order to make competitive items easily accessible
• Healing items disabled during trainer battles (THIS IS OPTIONAL)
• Battle Items removed from the game (not optional, as X items are the new purchasable EV reducing items)
• Edited Adventure Guide for in game documentation

Screenshots (there are lot of them and they are BIG so here is your warning):

Spoiler:

Details for how to install are in the README included in the Google Drive folder. Please read it. Documentation is also in that folder, which is linked at the bottom of this post.
