Hack Series: Pokémon Eternal X & Wilting Y [Version 2.67 Released]

[Palunglaut]

Currently doing a run with Rebalance version, just found out Dunsparce not learning the moves listed on the documentation.

 

[Fresh Wizard]

First of all, incredible rom hack! I've been loving the difficulty so far.

My friend and I have both encountered the same extremely minor issue though, on both Wilting Y and Eternal X.

According to documentation, Audino is supposed to have the Fairy Aura ability. However we are still both only encountering Audinos with Healer or Regenerator. The type changes have been correctly applied (ie: Audino is now Normal/Fairy), but we have yet to see a single Audino with Fairy Aura.

I'm not sure if this is an error with the documentation or the hack itself, but I figured I'd report it either way.

 

[PiousIgnorance]

• The Torchic on Route two is a one-time encounter, and comes with Speed Boost and Blazikenite. It's a guaranteed catch, so throw a Cherish Ball at it and it'll be just like the Torchic event that was available when X and Y launched.

You do realize you can encounter this before you get a pokeball and permanently lock yourself from getting it?

Hack of: Pokémon X & Pokémon Y
Released: 4^th February 2016
Last Updated: 27^thApril 2021
Current Version: 2.67: Added wild Pelipper to Azure Bay to allow Lucky Egg farming

NOTE: If you're updating from an earlier version to 2.34 or later, you will need to completely uninstall the hack before updating, or make sure that you delete the code.bin file from your 3DS SD card after updating. The code.bin file has been replaced with a patch, and the hack won't work if both files are present.

Overview:​

Eternal X & Wilting Y are typical difficulty/721 hacks; all Pokémon are obtainable in all versions of the games, trade evolutions are optional and they are, of course, more difficult than the base games. Both EX and WY come in four versions: the Legal Version makes useful Hidden Abilities easily available, and adds many egg and tutor moves to almost every Pokémon's level up moves, all of which are legal in the official games (hence the name). The Rebalanced Version includes all of these changes, as well as many base stat, type and movepool changes intended to make weaker Pokémon more fun to use. The third version available is Insanity Mode; this is essentially the Rebalanced Version with more challenging Trainer battles. Finally, the Online Version of the hack sacrifices a few features to make every Pokemon you catch legal, and can be used to play online.

Note that all versions of the hack expect you to play with the EXP Share ON.

Legal Version:​

This version of the hack is for those of you who don't like fan-made changes to Pokemon; Delibird and friends are just as weak as Game Freak intended, and no random reptilian Pokemon have suddenly gained the Dragon type. Pokemon encountered in this version will only ever have moves and abilities they could legally have in X and Y; the only exceptions are a few Gen V and VI Pokemon who are compatible with the new Sucker Punch TM, and most Ice Types who are compatible with the new Freeze-Dry TM.
Features:

Spoiler:

• A reasonable level curve designed around leaving the EXP Share on at all times
• Trainer teams that make sense: no trainers will ever use cover legendaries, but like the battle facilities, certain classes like Veterans and the Elite Four will sometimes use "lesser" legendaries later in the game
• Catch'em all without trading; Pokemon that evolve by trade now have alternate evolution methods
• Important Trainers have stronger teams, and many will now use Mega Evolution
• Seven new TMs: Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Ice Punch, Sucker Punch, Drain Punch, Giga Drain and Freeze-Dry have replaced seven less useful TMs (see the documentation for details)
• All Mega Stones (except Mewtwonite X/Y) are obtainable before the Elite Four
• All Fossils are conveniently held by wild Pokémon in or near Glittering Cave
• Competitive items can be found on wild Pokémon or in Snowbelle City
• All but two TMs are available before the Elite Four
• Fully documented changes (except for the rival's teams)
• Restaurant Trainers with Audino and Blissey teams; these can be battled over and over for quick EXP gains
• Weaker Pokémon level up faster, making them more powerful than usual later in the game
• All level up learnsets have been updated to match ORAS where possible
• Many Pokémon now have their Hidden Ability available as one of their two regular abilities
• Most Pokémon will be able to learn egg moves by level up, or from the move reminder
• Easy access to ability capsules, allowing you to switch your Pokemon's abilities at will
• An optional balance patch to tone down the initial battle with Viola; she can be made to battle with four Pokemon instead of six
• Fast hatch eggs: all eggs will hatch in a single cycle

Rebalanced Version:​

This is more or less the same as the Legal Version of the mod, but with changes made to many Pokemon. Some trainers will also have slightly different rosters to take advantage of these changes.
Features:

Spoiler:

• Everything in the Legal Version
• Type, base stat, ability and movepool changes have been made to many weaker Pokémon, with the intention of making them more fun to use (see the documents for details)
• Some weak or useless moves have been changed; for example, Cut is now a Grass-Type move that will always result in a critical hit, and Arm Thrust now has 25 base power
• As of version 2.1, stat, ability and movepool changes from Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are included in this version. This means you can play with things like Sand Stream Gigalith, Dragon Dance Flygon and even Sticky Web Slurpuff in Kalos!
• The Big Root held item has received a massive buff, and will now double healing from HP stealing moves

Insanity Mode:​

This version of the hack is intended to provide a greater challenge than the other versions. It's often unfair and is deliberately poorly balanced, but if you're looking for a challenge, this is the version for you. It's available with or without the Pokemon changes from the Rebalanced Version.
Features:

Spoiler:

• All the features of the Rebalanced Version or Legal Version
• Rivals, Gym Leaders, Team Flare leaders, etc. all use more powerful teams, sometimes including Legendary Pokémon. Their teams don't always make sense flavor-wise, but they do make the game significantly more challenging. See the documents for details.
• Double, triple and rotation battles are more common
• Unimportant trainers will frequently (but not always) have custom movesets, and some will also utilize held items

Note that some trainers in the legal version of insanity mode may have illegal movesets; this is because this version was released as an edit of the original insanity mode, which was based on the rebalanced version. While I'm 99% sure the boss battles will be fine, some unimportant trainers might have illegal moves that slipped past me. If you encounter a trainer with a move they shouldn't have, please report it so I can fix them.

Online Version:​

This is essentially "EXWY lite." It removes ALL Pokemon related changes - meaning no improved level up moves, no changes to Pokemon available in the wild, and no access to most hidden abilities. In exchange, every Pokemon you encounter is legal for use online and with Pokemon bank. Additionally, thanks to Pokecommunity users MightyBirdy and buley, these versions can be used to play online.
Features:

Spoiler:

• Viola nerf built in: with the limited options available to the player in this version, Viola's full team would be a bit excessive, so she will only use four Pokemon in her initial battle.
• Fast hatch eggs: If you opt to add the wild Pokemon changes from the other versions, breeding the Pokemon you catch will result in legal offspring. This change speeds up that process significantly.
• Mart and trainer changes from the legal version of the hacks are retained; you'll still be able to get most TMs and Mega Stones before defeating the Pokemon League
• Access to online features allows you to browse the wasteland that is the XY GTS, receive countless Zigzagoons from wonder trade, and battle your friends while retaining most of EXWY's changes

Screenshots:​

Spoiler:

If there are problems with the images below, screenshots can also be found here.

Downloads:​

Game files and documents can be found here.

Downloading from Drive can be a bit slower than other options, but it has the benefit of allowing you to skim through the documentation to see if you like the changes first. Enjoy!

WARNING: Because the hacks don't support title updates, the Lumiose save glitch is still in the games; do NOT save in the North or South Boulevard. Saving inside a building is perfectly safe, however.

How to Play:​

WARNING: DO NOT install the game from Hshop! I have no idea what the garbage on there actually is, but it's certainly not a 'good' version of EXWY. I've quite a few messages lately about issues with it, so whatever it is, it's very, very broken.

Download the game files from the link above, then follow one of the included installation guides. If you have Luma custom firmware, I highly recommend using the Quick Install guide; this is a simple drag-and-drop process, and doesn't require you to build anything.
If you don't have custom firmware, you can either head over to https://3ds.guide/ to get Luma set up, or play via the homebrew channel and HANS, which you can find out about here: https://smealum.github.io/3ds/. Note that your firmware version may be unable to run homebrew if you've kept it up-to-date.

As Citra -a 3DS emulator- now supports X and Y, a guide for setting up the hacks with Citra is also included in the download. While the games are playable, Citra is still in development, so you should except some instability and/or issues, especially with the game sound.

FAQ and Troubleshooting:​

Spoiler:

The wild Pokemon and mart changes aren't showing up for me, but everything else is - what gives?
The title update for Pokemon X/Y replaces the files that hold this information, and the update will take priority over the hack's changes. You can fix this by uninstalling the update.

I've installed the hack but can't see the edited title screen. Is it not working?
The edited title screen will only show up if the game is played in English (each language has its own title screen, and the other ones are unedited). You can verify that the hack is working by going to the Poke Ball shop in Aquacorde Town; if it's selling Cherish Balls, it's working.

How do I uninstall a title update?
On your 3DS, go to system settings =>data management =>3DS =>add-on content, then select Pokemon X or Y, and click delete.
If you're using Citra, right-click on the game in the main menu and select "Open Update Data Location." This will take you to a folder with two files in it; delete both of them. If you can't see this option, chances are you haven't installed the update (and you can't uninstall something that was never there in the first place!), so you don't need to worry about this.

Are Pokemon from the Legal Version safe for use online?
In most cases, no. This is because met locations and levels will likely be wrong, and because I had to replace a regular ability with the hidden ability to make them available for many Pokemon. If you want to transfer your Pokemon to Pokemon Bank, you'll need to edit them with pkhex to make them legal first, or play the online version instead. Note that pkhex is far better than the official legality checker, so if pkhex says the mon is legal, it's legal.

I've just downloaded the latest version of the game and something isn't working, is it my fault?
Probably not! Either I've broken the game with the latest update, or you've still got the official XY update installed. If it's the former, please post in this thread or PM me so I can fix it as soon as possible. If it's the latter, uninstall the update and launch the game again. Please include which version you were playing in your post (X or Y, and legal, rebalanced or insanity) AND whether you're playing on a 3DS or Citra, because I can't help you without knowing that first.

Can I play in a language other than English?
Yes! All of the hack's important features will work with every language setting in XY. You won't be able to see the edited title screen and a few text changes, but missing out on those won't affect gameplay.

I'm playing on Citra and can't see a folder mentioned in the install guide, what should I do?
I'm not sure what causes this, but I'd guess that the update and mod location folders are created when the game is played for the first time. if you can't see them, run the game first (with or without the mod installed) and see if that fixes the issue.

Can [insert thing here] be shiny?
If it's not the gift Lucario from Korrina, then yes, it can be shiny.

Can I play the online with someone who is also playing the hack?
This should work, but you may be risking a ban doing it - try it at your own risk!

Can the hack be made to work with the title update?
Sadly I was not able to get this to work when I tried. That was a few years ago and it may be doable now with newer tools/layeredfs, but I am no longer working on this hack, so I am unlikely to try any time soon.

Wilting Y: Legal Version boss fights by destinedjagold

Gameplay Tips:​

Spoiler:

• Leave the EXP Share ON at all times; you'll end up underlevelled very quickly without it.
• The Torchic on Route two is a one-time encounter, and comes with Speed Boost and Blazikenite. It's a guaranteed catch, so throw a Cherish Ball at it and it'll be just like the Torchic event that was available when X and Y launched.
• The Santalune City mart sells a variety of TMs that will make Viola's team much more manageable. If they're too expensive, you can sell the Stones held by the wild Pansage, Pansear and Panpour found in Santalune Forest.
• Wild Munchlax outside the daycare will always hold Leftovers, which you can steal with the Thief TM given to you in Camphrier Town.
• The two on one battle vs Celosia and Bryony in Lysandre Labs is completely optional; it's also pretty ridiculous in all versions, so you might want to save before taking them on.
• The two on one battle vs Shauna and Tierno on Route 19 is not optional; they can't use Mega Evolution, though, so use this to your advantage.

KNOWN BUGS:​

Spoiler:

• Entering a triple battle with less than three Pokemon will cause your game to crash. The earliest triple battle is the first battle against Professor Sycamore on Insanity Mode, so it is recommended that you have at least three Pokemon in your party before then (even if you don't intend to use two of them). There are more triple and rotation battles later in the game, so it would be a good idea to keep a party of at least three Pokemon from that point on.

Hi!
I want to know if this HackRom support ORAS Megas, like Salamence and Metagross?
Thanks for the attention!

 

[That_One_Canuck]

The game freezes right after you name your character and the Fletchling starts flying into your room. I'm using Citra.

 

[That_One_Canuck]

Hey Buffel Saft, you should change the Torchic encounter so it happens AFTER you get Poké Balls. I've had to restart 11 times so far because I run into it before I can catch it.

 

[Urist Microcline]

Hey guys I'm hoping someone can help me with installation on Android. I'm using Citra MMJ and my mod installation folder looks like this, citra-emu -> load -> mods -> 0004000000055E00 -> romfs and code.ips is in there. I'm using the Pokemon Y file from Myrient named Pokemon Y (USA) (En,Ja,Fr,De,Es,It,Ko). This set up works fine on my Windows PC but it's half working on Cirtra MMJ on Android.

On Android, the guaranteed Torchic spawns, the pokeball shop has cherish balls and trainers have different pokemon but the title screen does not work, the cherish balls are the wrong price and the wild pokemon encounters are vanilla. Has anyone encountered this problem and know how to fix it? Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I got it to work. I ended up downloading a .3ds file of Pokemon Y that was already modified with Wilting Y and skipped the modding process. I did delete all the of the Pokemon Wilting Y mod files before installing the modified Pokemon Wilting Y.3ds file.

 

[Tilchara]

Does anyone know where the location of the Metagrossite is? Looking in the documentation related to items it does not show up at all and I am doing some pre planning for my final team. Thank you in advance!

 

[Tilchara]

Also, has anyone else had the issue of being severely under leveled even up to the 4th gym due to the half exp after getting the EXP all? My current team is Metang Lvl 32, Sylveon Lvl 42, Blastoise, Lvl38, Lilligant Lvl 36, Delphox Lvl 40, and Noibat Lvl 36. With me getting to Ramos who has lvl 42 to 45. So either I grind the hell out of my team in the wild or I go in underleveled. Am I missing something about this hack?

 

[narutoke200]

Can someone please help, the game goes black screen right after the fletchling scene after character creation, how to fix? I'm playing on citra emulator on pc

 

[Kyro_the_zoroark]

Can someone help me a bit? I'm trying to get Wilting Y to work on a jailbroken 3DS. It kind of works but only the torchic and cherish ball change happened and nothing else. Is this a common problem or am I just very unfortunate?

 

[iiTropics]

The game freezes right after you name your character and the Fletchling starts flying into your room. I'm using Citra.

Did you find a fix for this im having the same issue

 

[iiTropics]

Can someone please help, the game goes black screen right after the fletchling scene after character creation, how to fix? I'm playing on citra emulator on pc

Did you find a way to fix this im having the same issue

 

[iiTropics]

If anyone makes the same mistake I did, it's because I had a copy of X but was trying to patch it with the Wilting Y file….

 

[Sapphire0313]

I looking through the documentation and I was wondering if the red and blue orb held items were available somewhere in the games. I only ask because I want to play through the games using only fire-type pokemon and weather or not I can use Groudon will depend on if I can get the red orb to turn it into a fire type. Not a big deal if its not, but I was just wondering

• Kaphotics and SciresM (Project Pokémon): For pk3DS and its internal programs, which made this hack possible in the first place.
• link6155 (GBATemp): For The SMDH Creator, which makes launching these hacks on the homebrew launcher much cleaner.
• An anonymous helper: For the title screens and menu icons, and sharing the .code file for Pokémon Y.
• Lithobraker: For pointing out all the files I'd forgotten to include in the updates, and for some excellent feedback.
• MightyBirdy: For creating the update spoof .cia files that allow some versions of the hacks to be used online
• Maël Hörz: For creating HxD, which was used to fix the problems with certain level up move sets.
• buley: For creating the edited code.bin used in the Online version of Eternal X.
