NEW ROMHACK RELEASED - DO NOT USE SACRED SWORD/KING'S SHIELD

BETA RELEASE V. 1, By Kobazco & Phives, with help from Drayano
Works for both Sword & Shield
NO POST GAME
YES, YOU NEED A MODDED SWITCH
Follow here for updates (Twitter)
THIS ROMHACK IS CURRENTLY BEING ENTIRELY REWORKED. AS SUCH, THIS CURRENT VERSION/ROMHACK IS NOT SUPPORTED PAST SWORD/SHIELD 1.0, AND NO UPDATES WILL MADE. I AM USING THIS THREAD TO SHOWCASE UPDATES ON THE REWORK, WHICH WILL BE A MUCH MUCH MORE INDEPTH EXPERIENCE. PLEASE BE PATIENT UNTIL THE REWORK COMES OUT.

NOTICE: I likely will not be updating this mod to work with new patches until all of (or maybe just one of) the DLC is out. When the DLC releases, we will have a LOT more Pokemon to work for in terms of team building and editing wild Pokemon. With that in mind, I hope everyone looks forward to the DLC. Until then if you want to use this mod, please make sure you are on the base version of the game.
Context time! I made popular (But not too indepth) romhacks for SM & USUM, most notably Rising Sun & Waxing Moon. However, this time, things are different! This time I bring to you all a fully featured difficulty hack. Hundreds of Pokemon have had their Hidden Abilities made easily obtainable, stats buffed, abilities buffed, and enhanced movesets! For all of these changes & more, see the gdrive folder with the download and all documentation.

Changes:
  • All important trainers have 6 Pokemon and and are much more difficult. (Hop begins to have 6 after the 1st gym)
  • Important trainers also have manually changed movesets, abilities, natures, and even IVs and EVs assigned. They also have the smartest AI assigned to them.
  • Level curve expected to naturally provide you with high level Pokemon. Trainers will have Pokemon around and usually slightly higher leveled than that of your own. (GROSSLY SUBJECT TO CHANGE, PLEASE RELAY TO ME WHAT THE LEVEL CURVE IS LIKE IN YOUR EXPERIENCE. THIS SHOULD NOT REQUIRE AN INSANE AMOUNT OF GRINDING)
  • Hundreds of Pokemon have had their stats buffed, hidden abilities made available, and enhanced movesets. Some even have type changes, or completely new abilities available.
  • Evolution methods changed for trade Pokemon. See documentation.

Disclaimer & Important Information
  • The post game is currently unedited.
  • The wild Pokemon are currently unedited in terms of level and where they appear.
  • This has been made in mind with the exp share enabled and usage of Max Raid battles to gain exp candies. If you are falling behind in levels, go to the wild area and grind on raids. The no EXP share patch is completely optional and this hack was not made with it in mind.
  • This is a first beta release, please give any and all feedback, especially on the existing level curve.
  • I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BANNED CONSOLES. OBVIOUSLY DO NOT PLAY ONLINE WHILE USING THIS ROMHACK.
Instructions:
  • Download the Pokemon Sacred Sword & Kings Shield.rar in the gdrive folder.
  • Rename the folder in the .zip file to the proper titleid if needed. Sword: 0100abf008968000 Shield: 01008db008c2c000
  • Place this titleid folder in atmosphere\titles or sxos\titles depending on what cfw you use.
  • Launch the game with CFW active!
  • If you want only the trainer edits, go into the romfs folder and delete the folder titled "pml"
Credits:
  • Kurt & SciresM for creating & updating pkNX
  • Phives for doing the majority of the work on the implemented Pokemon changes.
  • Drayano for allowing us to use this Renegade Platinum changes and provide guidance when asked.

I've just discovered this mod today after I started the game for the first time.
Too bad there's currently no way to disable the exp. share... Damn you, GameFreak !

question, and obviously this is.....low priority. would it be POSSIBLE to put all the gym leaders in one game? as like, optional fights? want to see all the potential gym leaders, but would prefer to not.....have to beat the game twice over to do it.

just curious!

I start my residency in anesthesiology in a few weeks, fingers crossed this gets finished before then so I have time to play before the one million hour weeks start! Keep up the good work

Welp after a little research, turns out I can't even do it as my switch is 2nd gen. Maybe one day...either way thanks for all the hard work so far Kobazco

If you have a good enough computer, you can emulate it using the Yuzu emulator.

What version of the game will be needed to play the new modded version when it comes out? Or does it not matter?
I would assume the latest since all of the DLC has been out since the project has been underway. The original beta was just for 1.0, I think part of the reason for the delay in the full version was to include postgame and DLC

To be more clear on this, it will work for the latest release.

Please be aware though that we will be abandoning the old name of Sacred Sword/King's Shield, as I have said this is going to be an entirely new project started from the ground up.

The initial release will include post game but not the Isle of Armor/Crown Tundra. It will include Pokemon from the DLC though in the main game, catchable without the DLC.

No. If you want to play a harder version of SwSh that doesn't mess with this kinda stuff, there are already mods that do this. It would add on many hours of development for me to redo every trainer in the game in order to make this kind of version, and it isn't what I'm going for when making this romhack.

Is there any discord available to help with testing/reporting bugs?
You can do all of that in the new thread that will be made when it is released.
