IMPORTANT:

Before updating to this release, you MUST save in a Pokémon Center using the in-game menu. Failure to do so may permanently break your save file. It's perfectly safe to update as long as you're in a Pokémon Center though, so don't worry!

This release replaces the old AI, adds additional level cap options for new playthroughs, adds some new content from the RHH battle engine, makes some QoL changes, and as usual, fixes some bugs.

New Features:

  • A brand-new AI, thanks to ghoulslash. It should now understand many more moves and abilities and make smarter decisions most of the time.
  • Added a new AI setting for bosses that makes them smarter than average trainers
  • More options for level caps: you can now choose to have a level cap tied to every badge, have lower level caps, or use the current system
  • HMs can be forgotten when learning a level up move
  • The Nature Changer now charges 5 Oran Berries instead of 10
  • Rare Candies return you to the party menu after use (credit to ghoulslash and Asparagus Eduardo)
  • Damage-reducing berries (Coba, Occa etc.) now have a minimum yield of 8 berries and a maximum yield of 24 berries
  • The Hoenn starters have had their level up moves updated based on gen 8, giving them a few new moves
  • Updated Tentacool's moveset based on gen 8
  • Banette now has access to its gen 5 event-only move, Cotton Guard
  • The first option in the berry menu is now "Use" instead of "Check Tag"
  • Maxie, Sidney and Phoebe have slightly different teams
  • May/Brendan will now bring their Fire-type to the Meteor Falls multi battle, making them much more helpful if you chose a fire starter
  • Several held items and moves have had their descriptions updated to reflect the changes already made to them (power items, Shell Bell, Draining Kiss).
  • Added a Mystery Gift option to the old man in every Pokémon Center. Currently he's handing out Battle Bond Greninja and Magearna, though you'll need to be past certain points in the game to get them. See the Pokémon Locations doc for details!
  • Snover, Delibird and Cryogonal can now be found in Seaspray Cave's basement by using Honey

From the Battle Engine:

  • Implemented Battle Bond, Delta Stream, Primordial Sea and Desolate Land (no Primal Reversion just yet though)
  • Implemented the last used ball feature from gen 7; press R in a battle to throw the last ball you used (there's also a very clear button prompt for this)

Bug Fixes

  • The Region Map now correctly shows the locations of new maps
  • If a recoil move does no damage, it doesn't inflict recoil (hopefully fixed properly this time)
  • Using Fly now resets Mr Briney's location, just like Teleport does
  • Fixed possible underflow from trainer reward money
  • Trainer reward money now displays up to six digits (was 5)
  • The price of sold items is now displayed correctly
  • Berries planted in rainy routes now give the correct yield (i.e. always the maximum)
  • Octillery can relearn Lock On
  • Safety Goggles should now show the correct message when activated
  • Fixed Spiky Shield not bypassing Disguise
  • Potentially fixed random attacks bypassing Disguise
  • Fixed multi hit move/Sturdy interaction
  • You can now Fly to Slateport City as soon as you get to Route 109, which prevents a potential softlock

From the Battle Engine:

  • Fixed Gastro Acid not disabling some abilities
  • Fixed Sleep Talk
  • Fixed Simple Beam
  • Updated Struggle to its modern effect
  • Fixed Unnerve not negating damage-reducing berries
  • Fixed Trump Card's damage calculation
  • Fixed AI not understanding dynamic move types (think Weather Ball in Rain vs. a mon with Storm Drain)
