... You're telling me this whole time instead of manually uploading ten files to MEGA whenever I update the hack i could have just been building the 7z files into my google drive and letting it auto-update?
Instructions on how to do that are in the OP and second post. If I posted a Randomized build, everyone who gets it would have the same random encounters. Randomizing it yourself isn't hard. Make sure you use the Leveled or Expanded builds as a base for randomizing.
The Expanded Build has the exact same encounter tables between Nova Sun & Umbra Moon. No added Legendaries or UBs, but every other species is available.
Whatever you catch in the Expanded Build won't be legal for trade or battle. No idea how stringent Nintendo's hack checkers are, and I haven't heard of anyone getting banned for using hacked pokemon (thanks to trading) but don't blame me if you get banned for using Expanded Build mons online.
It should work fine. Are you on NS/UM v1.7? You might have caught it holding a Twisted Spoon, the item is consumed when it evolves.
The Expanded Build has the exact same encounter tables between Nova Sun & Umbra Moon. No added Legendaries or UBs, but every other species is available.
If you're on windows, double click the bat file. All the bat file does is make the title screen work in all languages (it just copies the english intro movie to the other languages). This is to save file size in the distro pack since the intro movie is a relatively large file.
The game text changes won't be applied in Italian. If you're okay with English i recommend playing in english.
I didn't change evolution methods at all between 1.6 and 1.7 and haven't touched Kadabra's evolution method since v1.3, so you probably just didn't notice the Twisted Spoon. And v1.0 to v1.2 Kadabra just wasn't able to use the Twisted Spoon to evolve.
Hey! Everything seems to be working! When i started the game the second time i was prompted with an update though. Is this an update i should install? Without it it still plays

Assuming you're using the Drag and Drop pack, you need to update. If you don't, the game will freeze whenever you go to a Poké Mart.
If you built and installed a CIA or are playing through a Gateway, you shouldn't update, or you'll have the same freeze problem.
Look, Ultra Sun/Moon are going to be the last 3DS pokemon games, which means they'll be the last ones to get a romhack by me for a damn while. Of course I'm gonna hack them ♥
Didn't realize until now that the USUM hacks have the original names in them "Supernova, Penumbra". Also noticed the trainer in Po Town had three Unowns, a D, I, and O. (DIO)
Pokémon Nova Sun and Umbra Moon are mods for Pokémon Sun and Moon. Like my Rutile Ruby and Star Sapphire hacks, their main purpose is to provide a more challenging game experience while not artificially limiting the player. The premier feature of Nova Sun and Umbra Moon is the ground-up redesign of Pokémon Trainers in the world to increase the game's challenge. Every trainer in the game has been edited, and the level curve expects use of the Experience Share, which means that the player levels up very quickly. Every Pokémon in Trainers' teams has a hold item and a proper moveset. The end-game of the main story features trainers with Levels in the mid-nineties.
Nova Sun and Umbra Moon's secondary focus is inspired by Super Smash Bros. Melee's "20XX Hack Pack" which enables features for competitive players to practice and grind. In Nova Sun and Umbra Moon's Legit Build, everything obtainable is 100% legal and legitimate for real online battles or trades. In all Builds, some features are designed to make preparing competitive teams much less of a hassle. Competitive hold items are much more available, a 6IV Ditto is available through an in-game trade (holding a Destiny Knot), Eggs hatch in one cycle, and Level 100 Memento Blissey battles are available in the Battle Buffet once the main story has been beaten.
These mods are very expansive. In addition to Trainers, Nova Sun and Umbra Moon also feature edited:
Wild Pokémon availability (in three different ways!)
Wild Pokémon hold items
Item availability in Poké Marts and from special vendors
Evolution methods for Trade Evolutions and "Level up in a specific area/version" Evolutions
And much more!
Trainer Changes
view spoiler for detailed information
Harsher Level Curve: Balanced to the EXP Share!
All-new Trainer teams, designed from the ground up, many featuring six Pokémon!
All Captains, Kahunas, and other bosses have six Pokémon!
Every fully-evolved non-Legendary Pokémon (and Mega Evolution) will be encountered in a Trainer's team during the main story!
Totems are powered up and pack new strategies!
Post-game Memento Blisseys added to Battle Buffet in Hau'oli City!
Trainers are capable of EV Training their Pokémon!
The level curve is steeper. The game is balanced around use of the EXP Share, which allows for explosive growth. Disabling the EXP share is not recommended.
While grinding is always possible, the curve is such that the player will be approximately even with all enemy levels if you complete the optional content such as side routes. Thanks to the Gen 5 Experience Formula, skipping fights won't underlevel the player as much as it did in Rutile Ruby and Star Sapphire, but skipping Trainers can still leave the player ill-equipped to handle the challenge.
The player might become overleveled if they use the Lucky Egg, Pokémon Refresh, and/or the Trade Bonus.
All trainers’ teams have been changed to provide greater challenge. This isn’t just a global “level buff”, each team was individually created. They often have very different Pokémon than in Sun and Moon.
Wild Pokémon Changes
view spoiler for detailed information
There are four builds available of NS/UM! They only differ in Wild Pokémon availability:
Legit Build: All Wild Pokémon are 100% legit for trade and will not appear as "hacked" by any legitimacy testers. Island Scan Pokémon are available in the wild normally. Most nocturnal Pokémon are available in the day (rarer than they are at night, usually). The converse is true for diurnal Pokémon. Rare and interesting Pokémon have been moved into more common slots.
Leveled Build (Recommended!): Wild Pokémon are the same as in the Legit Build, but are leveled up to keep pace with NS/UM's harsh level curve. A quick adjustment in PKHeX (editing Met Level) will make them 100% legit.
Expanded Build: Wild Pokémon are altered so that every non-Legendary (Tapu/UB/Mythical Pokémon count as Legendary) species is available, at the same level as the Leveled Build. Legendary encounters are not changed in this or any Build. Click here to see where you can catch every Pokémon!
Lite Build: No changes to the Wild Encounter Tables of Sun and Moon were made.
All (non-Lite) Builds feature the following:
Island Scan Pokémon are available in the wild!
Rarity within areas adjusted!
Certain patches of grass are optimized for painless and early SOS EV training!
Lots more Wild Hold Items! (Even in Lite Build)
Meowth, Wimpod, Murkrow, Pikipek, and more can now hold Bottle Caps or Golden Bottle Caps in the wild! (Even in Lite Build)
Anything caught within the Legit Build is completely legitimate and trade-ready. Anything caught in the Leveled Build just needs a quick touch-up in PKHeX (edit its Met Level) to become trade-ready.
Naturally “rarer” species in areas have had their rarity adjusted. Fearow, Yungoos, and friends now occupy the rarer encounter chances. The more unique, fun Pokémon like Mimikyu and Stufful are now as common as a Yungoos or Alolan Rattata would have been.
Island Scan Pokémon are available in the wild in the following locations:
Chikorita: Route 2
Cyndaquil: Route 3
Totodile: Seaward Cave
Deino: Ten Carat Hill (Cave)
Horsea: Kala'e Bay (Surf)
Litwick: Hau'oli Cemetery
Klink: Hau'oli City (Shopping District)
Marill: Brooklet Hill
Spheal: Route 7
Luxio: Route 8
Honedge: Akala Outskirts
Venipede: Route 4
Bellsprout: Route 5
Gothita: Route 6
Swinub: Tapu Village
Duosion: Route 16
Roselia: Ula'ula Meadow
Staravia: Route 10
Vigoroth: Route 11
Axew: Mount Hokulani
Rhyhorn: Blush Mountain
Conkeldurr: Poni Plains
Togekiss: Poni Gauntlet
Leavanny: Poni Meadow
Serperior: Exeggutor Island
Samurott: Poni Wilds
Emboar: Ancient Poni Path
Eelektross: Poni Grove
Certain patches of grass on Melemele Island are optimized to allow painless and early EV training.
All Poké Balls and Repels are on sale for 90% off!
Sacred Ash available in addition to Revive. Revives cost much more, to discourage their use in battle (Sacred Ash is unusable during battle).
Certain healing items cost more, to balance the drastically increased money gain due to higher-level opponents.
Competitive consumables are available in standard Poké Marts!
Thrifty Megamart is now the go-to place to purchase competitive items like Leftovers and Life Orbs. Don't forget to grab a Discount Coupon at the door!
Konikoni's Incense Shop sells the six EV Reduction Berries. Removing unused EVs (SpA on Machamp, etc.) is a great way to passively optimize your team!
Standard Poké Marts no longer stock Antidote and other single-status relief items or Repels less than the Max Repel.
Full Heal, Super Potion, and Sacred Ash are available from the beginning. Sacred Ash functions as a Max Revive for your whole party, but is unusable during battles.
Consumable competitive items like Focus Sashes, Weakness Policies, and Sitrus and Lum Berries are available in standard Poké Marts.
Premier Ball is now available in Poké Marts.
Prices of certain items have been adjusted, sometimes drastically. Only some price changes are listed here.
All Apricorn Balls cost P1500. Beast Balls cost P3000.
All Vitamins cost P250.
Revive now costs P20,000. This is so that using Revives (in the form of Sacred Ash) outside of battle is perfectly fine, but using a Revive in battle to cheese a fight is something with a serious cost attached to it. Hold onto or sell those Revives and Max Revives Hau gives you, they're precious now!
Thrifty Megamart sells PP Max and top-tier competitive Hold Items like Leftovers and Life Orb (among others).
Route 8's Pokémon Center sells "second-tier" competitive Hold Items like Safety Goggles, Toxic Orb, and King's Rock.
Hau'oli City's Pokémon Center sells Apricorn Balls and Beast Balls.
Route 2's Pokémon Center sells Sun Stone, Moon Stone, Leaf Stone, and the rest of the Poké Ball types (except Master Ball).
Paniola Town's Pokémon Center sells Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones.
Konikoni's Jewelry Shop sells Ice, Dusk, Dawn, and Shiny Stones.
Konikoni's Herb Shop sells Mental Herbs, Power Herbs, and White Herbs.
Konikoni's Incense Shop sells the EV Reduction Berries for dirt cheap! Using these to remove useless EVs (like Attack from a Kadabra) will go a long way to keeping your team ready for the challenge of Nova Sun and Umbra Moon.
Evolution Changes

* This Pokémon will be illegal until it reaches its normal Evolution level, at which point it will be 100% legit again.
** This Pokémon will be illegal if it hasn't been leveled up at all before using the Stone; leveling it up will make it 100% legit again (assuming use of the Legit or Lite Builds).
Other Changes
Custom Title Screens!
Eggs now hatch incredibly quickly. Every species now has a 1-cycle hatch rate. Note this doesn't apply to Event eggs or Traded eggs.
Switch Mode no longer reveals the incoming Pokémon.
An in-game trade for a 6IV Ditto (holding a Destiny Knot) now exists!
Learnsets have been adjusted to provide better access to moves, particularly in Expanded and Leveled Builds. Species no longer "miss out" on moves because they were encountered at a high level, and most "Level 1" moves have been added to the standard level-up learnset. All Pokémon movesets remain 100% legal. Only moves in the Level-up learnset have been adjusted.
New, improved Pickup tables!
All species can now SOS call.
Custom Banner and Icon for .cia installs!
Notes
If you haven't done so already, please purchase Pokémon Sun or Moon! They're excellent games and if you enjoy them (or this mod), Game Freak deserves your money.
The GARC file that contains Sun and Moon's Encounter Data is 330MB. Unfortunately, that means that distribution packs for this mod (aside from Lite Builds) are quite large (160MB to 460MB thanks to .7z compression) and will take quite a while to download.
If you're running this with HANS or using the Drag & Drop pack, it will use your regular Sun/Moon save file. To back up your original save file on a Homebrew or CFW setup, use JKSM.
You cannot install a CIA of Nova Sun alongside a CIA/eShop copy of Sun. The same restriction applies for (Umbra) Moon.
This mod is capable of multiplayer. With the Drag & Drop package, it's capable of online multiplayer. Desyncs may occur in certain online battle situations. It's best to avoid using Game Sync while using any Sun / Moon mods.
Since this mod makes no changes to save file structure, it works perfectly fine with Pokémon Bank.
Text has been edited for the English language only.
Any Sun/Moon code.bin patches for v1.2 of Sun/Moon will work with the Drag & Drop versions of the mod. If you want to use extra code.bin patches on the .3DS or .CIA versions of the mod, make sure you're using patches designed for Sun/Moon v1.0. Do not apply a SaltySD patch to the Drag & Drop package of this mod, it will cause the mod's files to not be loaded. To add additional mods to Nova Sun & Umbra Moon, place them in the appropriate folder within SD:\luma\titles.
This is NOT designed for Nuzlocke play. I don't believe a Nuzlocke of this game will be possible, let alone an enjoyable game experience.
Limitations
Unlike in RR/SS, I cannot add Triple, Rotation, and Horde Battles to the world. I also cannot turn Single Battle trainers into Double Battle ones.
Enemy Trainers cannot use unique Z-Moves like Extreme Evoboost or Malicious Moonsault.
Certain battles won't force you to black out if you lose, instead progressing the story the same as if you won. I can't change this function.
Island Scan Pokémon normally cannot SOS or be SOS'd, so to preserve legality in NS/UM when encountered without Island Scan they simply SOS for normal Pokémon that are in their area's encounter table. In the Expanded Build, they can be SOS'd like any other Pokémon.
Sun and Moon's event scripts cannot currently be modified. This means that I cannot make cutscenes shorter or skippable.
The ability to use Mega Evolution is independent of the "Key Stone" item and is only set by triggering a flag in the save file after the battle with Dexio on Poni Island. This means that Mega Evolution is not accessible throughout gameplay unless save editing tools are used.
Installation Instructions
Luma3DS 7.0+ Drag & Drop Installation (CFW) (Recommended Method) Requirements: N3DS/3DS/2DS with Luma3DS CFW (7.0+), Pokémon Sun or Moon (Cartridge or eShop)
You need to be on Luma3DS v7.0 or later. All 3DS models on firmware versions 11.3 or lower can install CFW using this guide with no additional purchases/hardware/games necessary.
Update Pokémon Sun or Moon to Version 1.2 if you haven't already done so. If your 3DS is on a firmware verson 11.3 or lower, use ctr-httpwn to bypass the System Update requirement and install the Sun/Moon update.
Download and unzip the Drag & Drop pack for the Version and Build you want to play.
If your language isn't English, run the NonEnglish.bat file.
Copy and paste the contents of the Drag & Drop pack directly to the root of your 3DS's SD card. Merge and overwrite if prompted.
Hold SELECT when booting Luma3DS (this is when you turn on the 3DS if you're using B9S/A9LH)
Enable the option "Enable Game Patching" and press START to save. This is a persistent option, you don't have to do it every time you want to play NS/UM.
Boot up your cartridge or eShop copy of Pokémon Sun or Moon and the romhack's modifications should be present!
Back up your game save with JKSM, start a fresh save file, and enjoy the mod!
.CIA/.3DS Installation (CFW) Requirements: N3DS/3DS/2DS with Luma3DS CFW, Decrypt9WIP and FBI installed, Pokémon Sun or Moon (Cartridge or eShop)
You need a 3DS running Luma3DS CFW. All 3DS models on firmware versions 11.3 or lower can install CFW using this guide with no additional purchases/hardware/games necessary.
Installed Pokémon Sun / Moon updates will cause conflicts with the Nova Sun / Umbra Moon mod. Uninstall any Sun / Moon updates before using a CIA or .3DS build of Nova Sun / Umbra Moon.
Download the Pokémon Nova Sun Distribution Pack or Pokémon Umbra Moon Distribution Pack. Copy all of the files from the .7z to a folder on your PC.
Dump and decrypt your cartridge or eShop copy of Pokémon Sun or Moon (Must match the version of the romhack) using Decrypt9WIP.
Place your decrypted .3ds or .cia file in the same folder as "setup.bat".
Run "setup.bat".
Enter Y to extract the decrypted ROM.
Select which Encounter Build you would like to use. If you enter an invalid build or leave this blank, your wild encounters will be unmodified.
Enter Y if you would like to randomize anything in your game. After randomizing, exit PK3DS. If you don't want to randomize, enter N. It is recommended that you use the Leveled or Expanded builds as a base for randomization of Wild Pokémon.
Select which file format you would like to rebuild as.
If you rebuilt as CIA, copy the new .CIA file to your SD card and install it with FBI. Back up your save first, installing the modified CIA will overwrite your save!
If you rebuilt as .3DS for Citra, open the .3DS file in a hex editor, search for hex values 01 01 80 E0 04 20 80 E5 1E FF 2F E1 and change to 01 01 80 E0 00 F0 20 E3 1E FF 2F E1. This will remove the outline effect.
If you rebuilt as .3DS for Gateway, your ROM needs to be re-encrypted. Copy the resulting .3DS file to your SD Card, and use Decrypt9WIP to run "CXI Encrypter". After re-encrypting your .3DS file, copy it to your Gateway MicroSD. Sky3DS cannot run romhacks.
HANS Installation (Homebrew Launcher, no CFW) (Not Recommended) Requirements: NEW 3DS with a way to launch Homebrew Launcher, Pokémon Sun or Moon (Cartridge or eShop)
Because of HANS's limitations, it is recommended you instead install CFW on your 3DS instead of using this method. All 3DS models on firmware versions 11.3 or lower can install CFW using this guide with no additional purchases/hardware/games necessary.
NOTE: Pokémon Sun and Moon run in Extended Memory Mode on Old 3DS systems. HANS uses memory that is overwritten by Extended Memory Mode. Therefore, players need to have a New 3DS to run this hack through HANS.
NOTE: Poké Mart data is stored in a .cro file. Without custom firmware, the 3DS will crash when attempting to use edited .cro files. Therefore, players that only have the Homebrew Launcher will not get the Poké Mart changes in Nova Sun and Umbra Moon.
Download the Pokémon Nova Sun Distribution Pack or Pokémon Umbra Moon Distribution Pack. Copy all of the files from the .7z to a folder on your PC.
Copy all the files from the Hans_Built folder to the root of your 3DS SD Card.
Launch the Homebrew Launcher and dump your game using the included Braindump.
Copy the romfs.bin file to the folder you extracted the Distribution Pack to. Make sure this file is named "romfs.bin" without the quotes.
If you get .cxi files from Braindump, delete Braindump from your SD Card and use the version distributed with NS/UM.
Run "setup.bat".
Enter N to "Is your ROM dumped and decrypted?"
Enter Y to "Do you have a romfs.bin file generated by Braindump?"
Select which Encounter Build you would like to use. If you enter an invalid build or leave this blank, your wild encounters will be unmodified.
Enter Y if you would like to randomize anything in your game. After randomizing, exit PK3DS. If you don't want to randomize, enter N. It is recommended that you use the Leveled or Expanded builds as a base for randomization of Wild Pokémon.
If you chose to randomize, use PK3DS to randomize whatever you like now. Close PK3DS when done.
Copy the contents of the Hans_Built folder to the root of your SD card, then launch the hack from the Homebrew Launcher.
Back up your game save with JKSM, start a fresh save file, and enjoy the mod!
