Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon Datamining

Also, is Houndoom's mega stone in Sun while Manectric's mega stone is in Moon? I really hope they don't pull that X/Y version exclusive mega stone mixup crap on us again. I'm planning on using Mega Houndoom on my Ultra Sun team.

I'm now seeing a rumor that apricorn balls can be BOUGHT in Game Freak's building. Can you please post poke-mart/shop data to confirm if this is true? ♥

Would you please upload USUM zapdos pk 7?

More screenshots, also you don't need to use silly motion controls to ultra warp, change from motion controls to circle pad in the Gamefreak Building at Heahea City.

Yeah someone told me!
Got Articuno, Registeel, Yveltal, Mewtwo!

Also, for non-legends, the Pokemon's shininess is predetermined the moment you land in the ultra space.
So you can SR for a different nature and it'll still be shiny! (only if you save before the battle commences, of course)

I encountered a Shiny Magcargo pretty easily, and the wormhole wasn't even flashy XD

Do we know if there are any conditions for encountering specific legendaries (e.g. time/day/counterpart in party)? Are there only a set few every day or are all the legendaries out there all at once?

I think the trailers or japanese site mentioned you'll need Zekrom and Reshiram for Kyurem.

Only that four legendaries need both their version exclusive counterparts in the party.

For Suicune, Entei and Raikou.
For Giratina, Dialga and Palkia.
For Kyurem, Reshiram and Zekrom.
For Landorus, Thundurus and Tornadus.

What's the mechanic to catch the legendaries anyway? Like how do the ultra wormholes work?

Ultra Wormhole minigame, fly through wormholes and there's a chance the wormhole you fly in has a legendary in it.

Are the legendaries SR able for shininess? Also are how do you know normals are shiny or not?

I've got a patch on. Patch enables Pokemon that is not shiny locked to appear shiny.
Based on my experience, Legends can be SR'd.
Normals in the wormhole, appeared to use a different routine, cause under the patch, they've been mostly not shiny.
I've encountered one that was shiny (even after SR and with patch off)

How big is the code.bin and how do I patch it for no lines?

If you have Luma 8+ you can just enable game patching and use the IPS patch.

I figured that out, thanks to @theSLAYER. Thanks anyway.

Z Crystals Round-up

do we have tm locations yet? (specifically im looking for thunder wave)

also, i have a pk7 of a legit shiny poipole if anyone wants :^)

Thanks for all of the information.

How do you obtain Roto Powers? Does Roto Bargain stack with the Thrify Megamart discount so you can get infinite money? (Activate Bargain, buy 999 Strange Souvenirs for 25% of the original price and sell them for 50% of the original price, repeat.)

Just saw it linked on IRC. GameFreak sure knows how to annoy people.

You know what I wish that gamefreak did, that they probably didn't, butwould make them smarter and avoid spoiling the whole game with datamining? I wish that they hid stuff like new alola forms, new Z crystals, and stuff for event only thingsin folders that if a data miner tried to access would either given them false data or delete itself, don't get me wrong, I love this datamine forum, but it would add more mystery to the game, you know what I mean?

That's technically impossible, as data doesn't work that way.

What are you talking about? Lol.

I can understand if you're talking about a demo.
they did a bad job with SM demo, ie. they didn't delete all the files not used by the demo.
Why have a sprite of Marshadow in the demo, when it isn't used by the demo?


But if you're talking about the main game, then you must be really confused.
The game needs to have the resources in the data, in order to be able to access it on demand.
(Sprite of Marshadow needs to be there, cause at some point it'll be distributed)

The only way they can truly "hide something", is if it didn't exist.
That would mean, in order to receive marshadow, you'll need to download the patch to the game.
But that'll be kinda unfair to people who don't have the internet.
Downloading a wonder card at public wifi, probably fast. downloading an entire patch, that'll probably get disconnected multiple times.
(assuming the public wifi point has slow network that DCs alot)

In any case, what @Cecillia said. data doesn't work that way...
plus our dataminers are usually viewing raw data, and interpreting the results...
It's not like all the data are in plain view. They simply name the files plainly now, in multiple folders that are also named plainly.

<also what I find funny: self deleting data. that is simply insane. how does it differentiate if the 3DS is reading the data, or someone is accessing it externally? what if a glitch crops up and delete it (like gateway's malicious bricking code being activated by a glitch).>

I just realized something. I found Onix on Tuesday on MeleMele so maybe they're all in order. So Charmander would be Sunday, Squirtle Monday, Horsea Wednesday, Scatterbug Thursday, Bulbasaur Friday, and Litwick Saturday. Could someone try testing this?

Could someone make a list of the legendary pokemon and their locations? please
