Lets start off with some context. Currently, pk3DS allows us to edit the trainers and move sets of pokemon within Pokemon Sun and Moon. I decided to go ahead and create a challenge mode of sorts, similar to that of Pokemon Blaze Black/Volt White. Currently editing wild encounters!
Changes:
- Trial Captains and Kahunas now all have teams of 6 Pokemon.
- Level curve greatly changed. Team should be in high 70s/low 80s by the end of the elite 4.
- Trainers have Pokemon not usually seen in Alola.
- Movesets of weaker Pokemon is finished.
- Youngster Joey has a top percent Rattata.
- Wild encounters up until the post game are finished! Have fun everyone!
- Custom music for post game returning trainers.
- Almost every Pokemon has access to their hidden ability.

A NOTE ABOUT INSTRUCTIONS:
THE EASIEST METHOD IS GETTING A CFW, DO IT WHILE YOU CAN.
Instructions: (CFW Required for this method. See other method below if you don't have a CFW) I also still need to make the method easier for Pokemon Sun users, sorry!
THINGS YOU NEED:
- Latest nightly build of luma. (Get this through the .cia updater)
- The hack's GARC files (the stuff that actually overwrites the original assets) Get it from the Google Drive link
New and Updated Instructions! About time!
Luma Game Patcher Method:
- Create a folder named titles inside luma.
- Create a folder with the game's title id as the name (0004000000164800 for Sun, 0004000000175E00 for Moon) inside titles.
- Create a folder titled romfs within luma/titles/(titleID)
- Place the "a" and "data" folders within the "romfs" folder.
- Make sure "Enable Game Patcher" is checked in luma3ds setup.
- Start Sun/Moon
Thats it! Easiest way to tell if its working is by starting a new game or checking your Trainer Passport.
FOR POKEMON SUN USERS: RENAME THE "3" FILE IN a\0\8\ TO "2"
Layeredfs: (These instructions only apply if you use the Layeredfs files)
The LayeredFS feature allows you to replace RomFS files with files on the SD card for most games. To use it:
- Create a folder named titles inside luma.
- Create a folder with the game's title id as the name (0004000000164800 for Sun, 0004000000175E00 for Moon) inside titles.
- Create a folder called romfs in the game's folder.
- Place the "a" and "data" folders within the "romfs" folder.
- For example, to use LayeredFS with Pokémon™ Sun, make a folder named romfs , put your replacement files in it, then put romfs in 0004000000164800.
FOR POKEMON SUN USERS: RENAME THE "3" FILE IN a\0\8\ TO "2"
Todo:
- Re balance according to feedback.
- Re balance Pokemon move sets and stats once tools are available.
- Add in last few Pokemon. (Some starters, legendaries, etc.)
- Finish documentation on the various changes.
