1. all added ss/mp encounters spawn on the penultimate floor of any given dungeon. the only exception to this is are dungeons within groups, such as steam cave or amp hill, which will have the encounter explicitly on the final floor of the first half of the dungeon (or also on the second half of the dungeon if there's a galarian form) (also giant volcano is the only exclusion)

 

  Reveal hidden contents

2:

Meloetta = Marine Resort (Pirouette forme applicable)

Magearna (original form) = beach (fix em' up)

Tornadus =  Sky Summit Pass 

 

Reshiram (shiny) = (i'd expected shiny reshiram to be in zero hoard, but, no, sadly - and if that's the case i believe shiny reshiram isn't in any dungeon D:)

 

Zekrom (shiny) = Zero Hoard 2

 

Yveltal (shiny) = Zero Hoard 6

Type: Null = Happy Outlook (all floors)

Tapu Lele (shiny) = Zero Hoard 1

Tapu Fini = Beach Cave (f4)

Cosmog/Cosmoem = Ultra Wilds (nigh every floor)

Galarian Zapdos = Far Amp Planes (f10)

 

Solgaleo/Lunala = Ultra Wilds (just about a 0.98%~ every floor)


--

also, i'll include the misc encounters cause' why not? :3c

Lucha Pikachu = Lost Wilderness

Leafeon? = Final Maze (secret slab has a chance of spawning on just about every floor, take it to the floor just before the final)

--

i have no idea where white kyurem is at even after sifting through all the dungeons, so, uhm, there's that, but white kyurem is in the entry list :<

 

 

Thank you so much! I've added all of these new discoveries into my list and I'm off to go collect them all now :3

Help, i stucked at the chapter 12 when i played on drastic. It ran smoothly at the begining, however when it came to chapter 12, the screen just blacked out and i couldn't do anything.

This happened to me and I've downloaded it from here/skytemple yet it won't go past the black screen and was wondering if there was a way to fix or get past it cause I'm really enjoying the game and don't wanna stop.

either in dungeons (and zero hoard) or in the big win silver/win and big win gold/win prism ticket pool, you could also wm yourself one if you're not opposed to that. regarding dungeons it has a 1.37% chance of actually being it among the other TMs.

So, I guess this is complete and no more updates are planned?

there's one more update planned, no more major ones beyond that however: 1.2 - but it's taking awhile... like, a long while >.>

If you're also using Drastic try switching over to retroarch with melonds core - drastic is REALLY buggy d:

I think Windchild has said that she intends to make it easy to use other Pokémon too as starters, so even if Buneary isn't an option it shouldn't be too hard to add them.

[hushy]

yes, windchild does indeed plan to add it in within the next update. i, however, posted a guide on how to do implement it in yourself awhile back.

nope, completely the same. phanpy does not learn any ground type moves upon level-up(s)

Really loving this hack, downloaded it two days ago from sky temple. Unfortunately i am also experiencing the black screen issue at chapter 12. Playing as hisuian sneasel on drastic. Tried playing on melonds too. Is there a fix i can implement that will allow me to still play as HSneasel? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

in-short it's because of hisuian sneasels sprite file size & fennekins combined- sprite file size is to not exceed 704 in cutscenes and it does and by my calculations it's like 808 or so (accounting all actors) (it takes into account species sprite size, so that includes male and female variants), so essentially the game cannot load the cutscene and fails trying because it exceeds this threshold. you can't edit this, so you'll have to start a completely new save file without either hisui sneasl or fennekin as hero/partner ^^;

this same case is applicable to anyone who black screen's during chapter 12.

That is heartbreaking, sneasel is my fave. Thank you for informing me. Hopefully a future update may fix this, but for now i'll start over with a diff mon.

Is there a list of where to find most things like newer pokemon like Zeraora or Hisuian Typlosion? Loved playing the rom and it made Explorers of Sky much more fun!

zeraora is in mt travail and you can choose between hisuian and normal typlosion when you evolve quilava. There isn’t a list of all the locations of every added mon (yet) but there’s one for the legends/myths which you can look back in the thread to find it.

Hey! I had a similiar issue on my first playthrough with Fennekin and HSneasel, and I found a fix that involved some playing with Skytemple, you essentially code out that one scene so it's skipped.

This is the post I used, first comment. Just save a backup and follow the instructions correctly. If I can do it, you can too!

Shimmer Hill has been acting up a bunch and I have no clue why DX

planning on looking more into it once I resume working on the next update! 

Hey there, I’m a little new to this so I apologize, really really loving the hack, but I’m having this same issue and I’m wondering if there’s any fix? I may have stupidly, accidentally soft-locked my save file (even giving up/defeat takes me to black screen).

if you saved before going on the mission just revert back to it. if otherwise you could try the 'FixMemorySoftLock' asm patch (i haven't tested it yet but im pretty sure it should fix it alongside cutscene stuff. blame the ds for having the processing power of a potato Dx). its the issue regarding sprite file size that discussed about before. if that doesn't work, well, you'll have to wipe your save.
