User guide

Explore the all new Alola, now filled with Ultra Beasts and more mysteries.

Your partner this time is none other than the sweet little Lillie and the other Aether members, who return from Kanto after a failed attempt at restoring Lusamine back to her normal self.

Lillie's starter will be the one that has a type advantage over yours, a-la classic rival style. Her parties include Starter, Alolan Vulpix, Zeraora, (Wishiwashi/Bounsweet/Salandit), an Ultra Beast and Nebby.

Zeraora, Marshadow, UBs and many other new Pokemon such as Alolan Voltorb and Machamp are now available in the wild.

The mythicals now have similar stats to those of a regular Pokemon, making them not OP for regular playthrough.

All gen1-6 starters are now available at Route 1. While their second evos are available outside of Po Town.

Almost all regular Pokemon are available in the wild. And some of them, for example,

Combee, Cherubi and Wimpod, now have better movesets and stats. Oh, Cherubi is now a Grass/Fire type too.

By recreating the extreme condition in the Ultra Spaces, you can force certain Pokemon to evolve into Ultra Beasts.

These requirements are gradually informed to you as you progress through the mod, mostly by Gladion.

These Pokemon have their unique regular abilities while having Beast Boost as their HA.

Only Totem Beasts, Poipole and Naganadel still have Beast Boost as their regular abilities.

Feeding Ultra Malasada to certain Pokemon will evolve it into its Totem form.

Also Carbink can now evolve into Diancie.

Lists of evolution requirements and abilities Nihilego Tentacool + A Pokemon with Drought in your party Ability: Protean/Limber Buzzwole Cutiefly + Work Up Ability: Vital Spirit / Sheer Force Pheromosa Wimpod + Brick Break Ability: Speed Boost / Emergency Exit Xurkitree Sudowoodo + Blush Mountain Ability: Motor Drive / Reckless Kartana Fomantis + Smart Strike Ability: Infiltrator / Hyper Cutter Celesteela Alolan Diglett + Flame Charge Ability: Heatproof / Flare Boost Guzzlord Alolan Muk + Swallow (learnt naturally at level 50) Ability: Gluttony / Thick Fat Blacephalon Alolan Electrode + Mimikyu in party Ability: Flame Body / Aftermath Stakataka Magneton + Magneton Ability: Sturdy / Analytic

• Feeding an Ultra Malasada to your starter will evolve it into its Ultra Form, which has different stat spreads, movesets and abilities.
• Decidueye, Incineroar, and Primarina have 5 different Ultra Forms each, which can be accesed by levelling up while holding an Ultra Malasada or Beast Ball during daytime and nighttime.
• You can simply change it back into its regular form by feeding it another Ultra Malasada.
• P/S: This is a feature from Trendy Sun and Moon series.

Pikachu Valley? How about Lilliechan Valley?

Check the trailer and see if you can find the rare Lollie-chan.

Many new trainers join the fight:

• Kunoichi - A ninja class trainer.
• Kartenvoy - The guy from Ultra Forest.
• Spooky girl - Acerola with Emoji overdose.
• Shadow boy - A shadow trainer.
• Super Saiyan - Lysandre with yellow/red/blue hair and orange gi.
• Ultra Instinct - Lysandre with black hair and orange gi.
• Scratch Cat Girl - Elio/Selene's mom who returns to Alola to spread her cat facts.
• Captain David - Steel-type expert who is a good friend of Kiawe.
• Captain Raika - Ryuki's sister who is also from a faraway region. A Zeraora expert.
• Aether Wicke - The Pokemon Professor this time.
• Kahuna Moon - A kahuna from an alternate Alola. Title Defense only.

Additional notes:

• Most trainers who used to have one Pokemon now have two.
• Route Leaders are now replaced with Cynthia, who has different niche at each route.
• Captains, Kahunas, and Elite Fours now have Ultra Beasts.​

Totem Pokemon are now replaced with Totem Beasts - Ultra-sized Ultra Beasts. And so Alola needs Ultra Captains for these TBs:

• Bug Captain Guzma (Pheromosa).
• Poison Captain Plumeria (Nihilego).
• Steel Captain David (Celesteela).
• Electric Captain Raika (Xurkitree).

Two of the eight Alola gyms are ready for you to challenge.

Kahili Gym in Malie and Skull Gym in Po Town.

The Pokemon Center is livelier than ever with the cute Poipole selling stuff.

Also check out the Skull grunt spouting mixtapes at the all new Skull Cafe.

The infamous Kukui Uber Ride makes an upgrade in this mod. Professor Kukui now integrates the all new Uber Ride in Alola.

As silly as it sounds, the Ultra Recon Captain Phyco seems really interested with the idea...Uber Rides are listed below:

• Tauros - Kukui.
• Stoutland - Hala.
• Lapras - Lana v.01C /Naganadel v0.1D+.
• Charizard - Celesteela.
• Mudsdale - Spinda v0.1C/The Royal v0.1D+.
• Sharpedo - Guzma.
• Machamp - Charizard.

• Lillie managed to put Lusamine in Bill's seperation machine in Kanto.
• Lusamine and Nihilego were seperated, but not in the way she expected.
• Lusamine now only has a portion of her body - she is now a Mini Lusamine. And apparently suffers from amnesia...
• Nihilego now has Lusamine's body, contained at the Aether Paradise.
• Travel with Lillie and help recover Lusamine to her old self. Meanwhile, Nihilego might have a plan of her own...

Ultra Recon Squad now serves as villains, replacing Team Skull for most of the parts.

Their mission is to capture all the Ultra Beasts that have been released into Alola. Regular Dulse and Soliera are the grunts.

• Commander Soliera - Leads the Sol squad. Bashful. New Fire-type Expert.
• Commander Dulse - Leads the Luna squad. Calm and collected. Ice-type Expert.
• Commander Zossie - The cheery commander who just dilly dallies around. UB expert.
• Captain Phyco - A strict captain who would do anything to achieve his goal. Furfrou + UB expert.

In this mod, Necrozma is the first island guardian - the Guardian of Light.

As an evil approaches, the fate of the world lies in the hands of Nebby and Lusamine's Solgaleo.

You must travel to a secret Ultra Space - Ruins of Light, and go through Necrozma's trial.

Use Necrozma's light to power up your Nebby and Solgaleo.

As you progress through the game, you'll meet a peculiar duo who are trying to figure out their true origins.

They call themselves Fallers, and you agree to help their cause.

In return, Looker will give you Totem Beast/AZ-Floette at Heahea Beach.

Meanwhile, Anabel will trade some Legendary Pokemon at certain locations.

Stop the Ultra Recon Squad and figure out their true identities.

A lot of them have been modified. E4 levels remain unchanged. Some Title Defense Pokemon have different level Spoilers below:

E4 and Title Defense Changes Elite Four Molayne - Hau (Dragon Type) Olivia's team now includes Stakataka. Acerola - Nanu (Dark Type) Kahili - Guzma (Bug Type) Title Defense Hau - Lillie Ryuki - Ilima (Normal Type) Kukui - Wicke (Kanto theme) Guzma - Dulse (Ice type) Plumeria - Captain Raika (Electric type) Sophocles - Zossie (UB theme) Lusamine - Kahuna Moon (Lvl 100 Trendy Sun and Moon team)

FAQ

Q. How far does this mod cover?

It covers almost all the story/trainers/battles until vs champion and title defense.

Postgame UB-catching, Rainbow Rocket, Battle Tree/Royal/Agency remain unchanged.

There are plans to turn them into Smogon-tier facility, but unlikely for now.

Some sidequests have been changed too. For example, The Vulpix and Team Skull sidequest is now replaced with Litten and Scratch Cat Lady.

Q. Console users cant really use the a083 garc? No workaround?

Yep. A083 garc just crashes on console. No workaround that I know of.

Q. Hey, this [particular area] is super laggy on Citra.

Cant do nothing. Its just how emulator and cpus/gpus work.

Q. There's yellow rays of lights on my screen! What do?

Change the resolution or swap screens in Citra's settings. That should fix it. ​ Q. My Eevee doesnt learn Octazooka or Shadow Ball what to do?

Just pkhex the moves or catch them in the wild.
