Hey great work.
Just a couple of things
Lycanroc has only one moveset in the lvl up document. Since there are three forms I wanted to know the different sets for all of them. Like lycanroc midnight learns dynamic punch and close combat as per the Pokemon changes doc but what level. Also, the rockruff I know are obtainable are own tempo ones for dusk and normal vital or Keen eye ones that can evolve into either midnight or midday. But can we obtain wild rock ruff with steadfast that can evolve into lycanroc with their hidden abilities. Cus the midnight forms new attacks seemed to be optimized around it gave no guard but I can't get it unless rock ruff is steadfast .

Hey, thanks!
The other Lycanroc forms do have level up moves listed in the documents, they're just not named very well as I left the names the way pk3DS generated them. Lycanroc Midnight is "Lycanroc 1" and Dusk is "Lycanroc 2".
Hidden abilities for all wild Pokemon can be obtained in the usual way via SOS chaining; there should be plenty of guides around explaining how to do that if you're not familiar with the process.

I have a doubt: If i have a pokémon ultra sun/ultra moon installed (.cia) and a save game with completed game, can I install this hack with no problem or losses in my original ultra sun / ultra moon game?

You can, but the hack will share the save file of your installed .cia copy, so you'll need to make a back up of your save file and then delete it in game before playing if you want to do a fresh playthrough with the hack. It can be uninstalled at any time and won't have any permanent effects once you restore your original save file from the backup.

Hello! I'm following your citra installation guide. Currently I'm on Part Three - Step #6. I used the Hacking Toolkit to extract my update 1.2 cia file (which I downloaded from Ziperto) but some files that are shown in your screenshot are not congruent with mine. (ExractedExeFS, ExtractedRomFS, and HeaderExeFS.bin are all missing) If you know what my issue is, please let me know! Thanks! Excited to eventually play this hack!

So i found a bug in Photonic Sun where if you try to buy stuff at PokéMart, the first time that you visit the Pokémon Centre with Lillie, the game hangs and you can do nothing. I tested with Prismatic Moon, the bug isn't present in it.

Hey, those files are pretty much the entire update, so either that update cia is a bad dump or the version of the hacking toolkit you're using isn't working on your PC. It's a very unreliable tool; some versions will work for some people and others won't. I'd suggest trying to find another copy of the update cia first, and if that doesn't fix the problem, try different versions of the hacking toolkit.
Thanks for reporting this! Is the bug happening in the rebalanced or standard version of Photonic Sun?

The PokéMart bug happens in the Rebalanced version. Haven't tried the Standard version.

Right, has anyone managed to nuzlocke this?
I have got to the Lurantis and failed miserable (hedged all my bets on a z-move that got protected). But now I'm learning of an ultra necrozma at lvl100 that has Naganadel as its ally - their move spread is insane! Anyone have any suggestions for how to combat these bad boys?
Also, where do people stand on island scan? A gaurenteed Aegislash/Metagross sure would be sweet against ultra necrozma (even though the Naganadel has flamethrower).
Great hack btw, loving the challenge. Haven't enjoyed a pokemon game more than this, despite this being my 6th play through and I haven't got past the 2nd island!

Hey, I can't replicate the bug on Citra or a 3DS. You might have a mismatched shop.cro file causing the problem (either an earlier version or one from Ultra Moon).
The easiest way to deal with Ultra Necrozma is just to Destiny Bond it on turn one before it can do too much damage (If you're lucky enough to get something that learns it of course). Otherwise Toxic + Protect can work, or Focus Sash + a move that removes its stat boosts can make it manageable. Once it's down you should be able to handle Naganadel.
Not sure what the general opinion on Island scan in a nuzlocke is but I'd definitely allow it.
And thanks for the kind words! Good to hear you're enjoying the hack so far; best of luck with your Nuzlocke!

You can get both, Cosmoem will evolve into the opposite version's legendary instead of another of the one you already have.

Is it possible to add Mega Stones to the game that were only available via Mystery Gift? I'm playing on Citra, and MG isn't an option due to no network capability, and my Ampharos, Selene is my team's designated Mega-evolver. Also, great hack so far, I'm almost to Olivia, and it's really fun and polished!

Every Mega Stone is available at the Battle Tree in USUM, but if you want to be able to mega evolve before the post game you can use pkHex to give yourself an Ampharosite and the mega ring. Note that you'll also need to set a flag in your save to make the ring work; there should be plenty of guides around explaining how to do this, but if not, let me know and I'll make one.
Glad you're enjoying the hack so far!
Is there a certain step you're having trouble with? I'm not sure what Pokecommunity's stance on sharing entire game updates is, but most sites seem to treat them the same as full game ROMs, so I assume we're not allowed to share them here.

Ah ok. I forgot that was an addition. my bad, I've never made it to the battle tree in any previous playthroughs. Thanks for the advice on the mega ring and the save flag, I'll make sure to remember that when the time comes.

Can I find or evolve Cosmoem to Lunala in Ultra Sun? If it isn't posso bl, how to obtain the opposite legendary in this hack version?
