This is definitely one of my favorite roms, probably the most fun I've had with a hack and I've played a lot.. The only thing i cant get to work is some of the island scan pokemon dont really register in game with npc's, like getting marshadium z, or mythical moves for meloetta etc., the people dont see your pokemon. I can't seem to use gracidea on shaymin either, day or night, wonder if theres anything I can do about that. Otherwise amazing rom, weavile is insane ..... okay it seems I got shaymin to transform by setting fateful encounter in pkhex

Thanks for the kind words! You'll probably have to set all the other mythical Pokemon to be fateful encounters to get the NPCs to recognize them; unfortunately I can't do that in the ROM so it has to be done with a save editor.

Hey, I'm really enjoying the stat changes and optimizations of the hack but I'm finding it very hard to keep leveled for the totem challenges. The wild tables are all multiple levels below the next totem and I have to do excessive grinding with wild pokemon with the level scaling XP and no trainer rematches in USUM. Is there something I'm missing, some XP source I'm supposed to be using?

Hey, how big is the level gap between your team and the totems? A two or three level gap is intentional, but much more than that is a problem. The level curve expects that you are battling all the trainers (which does require a bit of backtracking occasionally), have the EXP share on all the time and don't have a full team of Pokemon in the slow experience group, but shouldn't require any extra grinding.

Just made the account to say thx for the romhack dude, but also some bug reporting i guess? it looks like slowpoke wont evolve into slowking while holding the kings rock, ive tried it on two of them and its the same lvl 37 they evolve into slowbro...i even leveled up slowbro to lvl 50 to see if it will evolve with the kings rock and still no difference

Hi, how are you? I wanted to thank as always for keeping up this fantastic rom.
And wanted to ask if you had thought on revamping a little bit Kommo-o. Because suck. And bad. His stats. His weakness. His signature move is special attack, and his stats are more on the physical side. Tl;dr: It's a fucking mess. Weak in this terms: even after a DD cant OHKO a Flygon on the same level.x
Anyway, I'm enjoying as always. Almost 50 hours and yet I'm in Ula Ula Island. :D. It's amazing.

I made this account just to say thanks, the hack is awesome.
Just a few things: I can't find aipom and cherubi in the berry piles, and meditite in ten carat hill. I think the locations pdf is wrong.
Also; slowpoke doesn't evolve into slowking.
Thanks again.

Nope! It only includes the Pokemon that existed when USUM were released.
You're welcome! I'll look into fixing the Slowpoke problem now, thanks for reporting it!
Hey, I'm good, how are you? Thanks for the kind words!
I've given Kommo-o Shell Smash so it can make use of both of its mediocre attacking stats, but it learns it pretty late in the game at level 80 which is a bit silly in retrospect. I kind of want to leave its stats alone for now, but I'll try improving its level up moves so it gets stronger moves sooner, which should help.
Thanks! There's a definitely a problem with Meditite and Cherubi not appearing; they're supposed to be in those locations but aren't there in the game files. Aipom seems correct but I'll look into it anyway.
Thanks for reporting these issues, I'll get them fixed ASAP!
EDIT: I've just fixed the Slowpoke issue, made sure Meditite, Cherubi/Cherrim and Aipom are available in other places, and changed the Kommo-o' line's level up moveset. The files are uploading now, though it may take another hour or two for them to be available as the wild encounter files are pretty big.
Kommo-o's moveset has gone from this:
Spoiler:
to this:
Spoiler:
Earlier access to Outrage should fix its Flygon problem.

Photonic sun version
Vullaby 54 => 34 doesnt work, it evolves at 54 still :D Rufflet however works and does evolve at 34
Rockruff needs to have a certain ability (not own tempo) to be able to evolve into midday form..not a bug just a coincidence i didnt know and might be a good idea to have it written down somewhere, because after 25lvl it still wouldnt evolve but it did evolve into dusk form once the hour was right
Also eevee (but i might be wrong) who evolves into sylveon by knowing fairy move and being happy, doesnt seem to work due to every eevee i catch having babydoll eyes as a move meaning i can use hp up, protein and so on to raise its happiness and then rare candy to lvl up, i automaticly get either espeon or umbreon...so i think maybe adding a fairy move as tm, removing it from wild eevee could solve this? i think it has to actually "learn" the move rather then have it already, but i might be wrong

Hey, I've fixed the Vullaby evolution - thanks for letting me know about that!
The Rockruff thing is a weird case, Own Tempo Rockruff is actually coded as a separate Rockruff form, and only that form can evolve into Dusk Lycanroc. That's why the event Rockruff can become Dusk Lycanroc but the normal ones can't. Good call on having that written down though, I'll add it to the documents.
Eevee needs affection rather than happiness to evolve into Sylveon; you have to feed it beans or use refresh for that (it only needs two hearts out of five to evolve), so that'll be why you're getting Umbreon and Espeon instead.

You're welcome, hope you enjoy the hack!
I couldn't find it either, seems there were three separate sets of encounter data for surfing in Brooklet Hill and Wooper was in one that wasn't being used. I've made sure they're all the same now, so it will actually appear. No worries about the Sylveon thing, happy to help!

OMG !!! thank you so much, I was surprised when I read through the Documents folder to see the encounter changes because I started a fresh game and saw Zigzagoon and Weedle in the grass on route 1, when I saw the elite four teams and how they have legendary pokemon after you challenge the league after the first game clear, I was shocked O_O, oh boi can't wait for that lol, just had the chance to sit and set up the hack because I was busy this week :)
