Have the learnset been updated (or do you plan to do it) to reflect later generations one? For exemple can Azumarill learn helping hand since it's a move that got added in gen V in its learnset?

If it should learn X move and the move isn't breaking anything, it should be added in the learnset in some way.

Hello! I was doing the Solorun challenge and I was unaware that the game would still have you bring your partner in for story dungeons and the like. Is this intended, or is it impossible to remove your partner from story dungeons? I figured the 'Choose who will enter the Dungeon' prompt would still be present. For example, I'm doing the First Expedition to Fogbound Lake, and it brought both the partner and Bidoof (and my partner was hilariously underleveled).

Solorun is ultra experimental and I think for gauntlets I had to keep partner because it posed team management issues I think

Where do i get the ultimate items? There's supposedly 8 right? Atm i only found space globe and mechanical array.

There's 8 if you account those that are planned for future updates haha. Light Tetrahedron obtention is currently bugged and it might be the only one you are missing with the Holy Lyre.

Explorers of Alpha Review:

To start things off, The fact that you can choose a Pokémon via number is actually pretty flexible & gives more freedom of choice.

The dungeons exclusive to EOA such as Tower of Demise & Atomic Wastes for example, Are pretty unique & challenging in their own ways. Plus some of the dungeons have recoloured/exclusive tiles unique to them.

SPOILERS FOR THE LAST DUNGEONS!!:

Destiny Tower is more easier than the original, It has shinies that you can recruit in the dungeon & You can ACTUALLY recruit Arceus & get the space globe at the same time! (Much better than just a statue)

The only criticism I have for Destiny tower & other EOA Exclusive dungeons is that they don’t have their original soundtracks (although it is my personal nitpick).

 

Refighting previous bosses is also a nice touch, Basically matching the bosses albeit fully evolved.

 

Some of the Hisuian Pokémon are in this Rom hack which is a nice touch. Although I don’t understand why Genesect (Gen5) is in the game but not the rest of the gen5-9 are in (hopefully the ultra beasts will join in).

 

so in Summary:

pros: Choosing your Pokemon instead of the personality doing it for you.
Guaranteed legendary recruitment is good.

Mega Evolution is amazing.

Origin Dialga & Palkia are in the game!

you can go to the future & recruit Grovyle & co!

Destiny Tower’s reward is far better than the EOS reward.

Realm of Perfection is a fitting conclusion.

 

cons: Early overpowered items at the start of the game (which strips the challenge)

Palkia is recolored purple yet normal when you fight him.

Not all pokemon are in the game nationally (Gen 5-9)

 

I give Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Alpha a rating of 8/10.

It is something that feels like actual DLC for the original Explorers of Sky & I love it.

& it is definitely a love letter to the mystery dungeon games as a whole!

 

I hope more content will be added in the future. Alphadaemon, You have my support for this Rom hack!

 

 

Gens 5 to 9 aren't fully ingame because at the time when I released the version the 3.X version is based on (half-public version kind of thing), there was no stable ways to expand the ingame's species slots so I had to do with Base Sky's. Additions planned for a future 4.0

Another consequence of Alpha adding all treasures with a boss is that I need a legendary guardian for all treasures. Thus Marshadow for Martial Gong, Genesect for Chitinous Didgeridoo, Diancie for Rock Horn and Eternatus for Insidious Waterphone. All within base Sky's limits by the way!

As for early overpowered items, depending on the difficulty setting they are not that overpowered. They are here so you have more building options and, in lower difficulties, a way to help the player. I don't want the game to feel like "EoS' difficulty hack, the game" because it would hide the work around the game as a whole.

So, the tower of demise, which is necessary for the globes, crashes constantly, way more than any dungeon. Any way to get past it? Or maybe a code for the associated globe?

It's probably a you issue ngl, never heard of anything crashing as frequently as what you're experiencing. On which emulator are you playing?

On 2/18/2026 at 4:45 PM, Shyul said:

Same thing for me i'm hyped for version 3.1 and i can't stand the wait ^-^

But we gotta let the dev cook.

The dev is currently busy with other projects so he cannot get back to it as frequently. I picked it up once again yesterday but considering I won't be available to work on it for 2 weeks soon, the wait will have to continue.

I have encountered a promblem that I failed to unlock Atomic Wastes even I recurited Deoxys via a battle. I tried to pass Fallen Star Remains again,but it is of no effect. Now I complete all the dungeon about world treasure except Atomic Wastes mentioned by Scizor. Is this a bug?

Atomic Wastes is in the Future. You have to complete Special Episode 5 to access it.

Hello ! Loving the hack, having a lot of fun of it, after finishing the story,

 

but i have a question, is the game having issues with the numbers of floors available or did i do something wrong ? I think that the dungeon like this one don't have enough floor, i just cleaned it

This is a known issue about jobs in the current version. This is a floor available in higher difficulties. Next version prevents those.

Started playing this mod last week and I've been having a blast with it so far! I have been deeply humbled by this game tearing me a new one and it's such a refreshing and hilarious experience for me personally. I made an account (just now...) mainly to ask a question here for confirmation.

I've been having occasional crashes when transitioning between dungeon floors. It doesn't happen too often, but tonight it's been happening very frequently while trying to complete Mt. Horn during the expedition chapter so I wanted to get a little insight on if this is a romhack issue or an emulator issue

I'm playing on BizHawk v2.9.1 for reference. If there's a recommended emulator in the initial notes for best performance, I will admit!! ...I skimmed most of the notes...... I'm sorry!

I've restarted and played up to Mt. Horn on DeSmuME and can confirm that it was almost certainly a BizHawk emulator issue. I'm now in Foggy Forest on DeSmuME and have only experienced maybe 2 or 3 crashes the entire time replaying from the beginning compared to the much more frequent crashes on BizHawk. Soooo I'll say problem self-solved!

BizHawk is still to this day fairly experimental and kind of skewed towards running original games rather than hacks, which implies doing workarounds to make original games work... which impacts hacks.

Hello, I just found out about this fantastic mod, I'm about to try it and I can't wait! I just wanted to ask if anyone knows if there is an Italian translation available, even a fan-made one, just to make the game easier to understand. Thank you very much.

No translations for the mod.

How does the progression of the World Treasures storyline actually work? It's been a few days since we recovered the Chitinous Didgeridoo but Scizor still hasn't made any progress. This is more days than usual compared to events like the Marine Resort discovery or Grovyle's capture which usually take around two or three. As far as I know I've gotten every other treasure available, only missing the Fiery Drum, Insidious Waterphone, and...Jirachi and Giratina's items.
Along with Deoxys' dungeon, how exactly are these places unlocked? Are they all through Scizor? And how long do I have to wait between each expedition?

Sidenote, I did also recruit enough Pokemon for Clefairy's final reward, but...well it seems like many in this thread, I have no idea where "Mrs. Kecleon" is. Talking to the Kecleon Brothers doesn't yield much, which...fair, they are the Kecleon brothers. I don't really need the Purple Kecleon...don't really want it either except for completion's sake. But tying that thread up would just be satisfying.

(Also how can Dream Catchers be farmed? Based on Wynaut's offers there's probably a renewable source of them beyond Wigglytuff's rewards, and I just barely got the Shard I needed to evolve Kirlia...)

Do mission days between each quest. However if you did World Abyss before even having finished Scizor's quest (which ends with World's Abyss), you might have story-locked yourself.

The 475 recruits reward is bugged in current version.

Dream Catchers can be found through Mysteriosity locked doors and some side-dungeon rewards.

There's nothing here. No Ascend Stones, just chests with leader-specific items and Premier Gifts.

It's technically not the first time I've been here -- the first time I had done a few missions on the way. This time I didn't accept any. Both times there was no Ascend Stone.

What now? Is Kirlia just stuck like this until the bug-fix? Is there nothing I can do?

Then you encountered the bug that'll be fixed by the next version coming very soon.

Is there any way to get Ascend Stone Mark II without heading to the depths of Zero Isle Center?

I just recruited Palkia and unlocked the Marine Resort. The Ursaring spoke to me and by all means it *seems* like I should be able to evolve my partner Kirlia, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I used the Marowak dungeon to evolve both starters the first time.

Looking at this thread, this does seem to be a known bug, so I would like to try my luck with the stones. Is there any other method?

No. Doing Zero Isle Center will reward you with the second ascension stone

Hi wondering if anyone can help. I’ve just started a game and loving it. 
Got an issue with bidoofs wish, after getting the item from snover (right at the start) it goes to the food hall, but black screens and can’t go any further. Wondering if it’s a known issue or if I reset my data I might be able to play it? Really hoping anyone knows a way around because I love the QoL changes, but may have to stick to vanilla EoS to do a full run through.

fyi running on delta emulator on iOS.

Mhm.

At the cost of making the rest of the dungeon a hell of a lot harder 'cus you have to pray the wilds don't pick up any Reviver Seeds that spawn (you only have so much PP after all, and from my experience Max Elixirs are distressingly rare- a fact made even worse by the fact that there are PP-Zero and Random Traps present, too).

I think you should try to play the dungeon before making assumptions over a 0.08% Reviver Seed spawn and not exploring the first section to find critical resources that are guaranteed to spawn. I thought you were talking about the Reviver Seed stashes behind Key Doors but no you are truly talking about a 0.08% spawn so... yeah.

5 hours ago, Neosonic97 said:

One thing I have to question: Why can you find Reviver Seeds in Destiny Tower?

An item you can't use because you need the Item Master IQ skill to use it, and Destiny Tower shuts off your IQ skills?

Because the pinnacle doesn't shut down IQ skills.

Is the Outlaw Board bugged? I've reached the Waterfall expedition main quest, and it's been red/inaccessible since the beginning of the game. I'm using the latest patch of the ROM hack, and I've also never had this problem in previous saves (I've started my game over a few times to change my Starter).

 

At the start of Explorers of Sky, they hardlock you from doing certain missions sometimes, or it can just decide it doesn't generate a mission for either boards. It's base game behavior.

It's been a while and you will still wait for a while. I have yet to release 3.1 which stabilizes 3.0, and then I can work on 4.0, which is its own thing and will take a while.

Is Totodile's Strong Jaw/Sheer Force bugged? I tested Scratch, Rage, and Bite, and I couldn't tell if it's not working or the damage difference is minimal since I'm at a low level.

At low level, the damage difference is minimal as the average damage of a boosted move falls into a non-boosted move damage roll

You'd be surprised at how extraordinary i am at being bad. Thanks for the help and quick response though!

Edit: Also you could use reviver seeds in the original sky as they were not tied to item master. Reviver seeds combine a full hunger, health and ap restore so that did make a difference. I am completely coping, but would just like to have it be said

Reviver Seeds have always been tied to Item Master by the way, it makes no difference whatsoever as the dungeon also disables IQ Skills in base Sky.

Is there really no other way to evolve the second stage of your starter? Can't beat zero isle middle, even on vanilla with fully maxed stats. Had 4 runs that all ended with grudge traps on floor 1-5. Should i just suck it up and not evolve?

I'm very surprised that you cannot clear Center with max stats past floor 1-5 in Vanilla when almost anything can do it in vanilla with half the stats... though you are in luck because the dungeon is bugged currently anyway so you couldn't evolve afterwards too. You should input this code which allows you to evolve the starter using another item, this time a Dream Shard:

023d73c0 03a000b4
023d73c4 159f0008
023d73d4 000001ad

Hi, Alpha. I've been having fun playing with different Starters when I noticed that some of the Abilities didn't really add up. For example, Chinchou is stated at the Pokemon Quiz selection screen that it has Volt Absorb, but in the game it's actually Water Absorb. I then went through each of the playable pokemon to see if there were any other Abilities that didn't match with the in-game Abilities, and I found 18 inconsistencies where the Abilities on the selection screen didn't match the in-game versions. I don't mean to alarm you, but I felt that it was important to inform you about this. Also, Finneon is also listed, but the two Abilities for it are simply switched as opposed to being mismatched.

Or you could have went through the trouble of reading post history and see for yourself that gendered abilities are bugged.

I found a weird thing. I don't know if it's a bug or if it'd intended behavior, so I thought I'd bring it up.

I set my partner be Alolan Vulpix. I started the game with the difficulty on "difficult." Their abilities are Snow Cloak and Cute Charm. I was looking for a more casual experience, so I swapped the difficult to vanilla after a while, and their cute charm ability swapped to snow warning, but it only shows up in dungeons. Going back to "difficult" difficulty fixes it.

I don't really want endless hail in my game, so unless there's a workaround or fix I missed while searching this thread I guess I"m stuck playing on difficult.

Known "inconsistency" I guess? In Alpha some abilities are difficulty based, which includes Drought/Snow Warning on Vulpixes, Vanilla exclusive abilities. In 3.1, difficulty based abilities show up accordingly in Overworld

Hello, i've been really enjoying this romhack so far! Here to report a bug. While i was cruising through the story i noticed a screenfreeze bug. I was going through the chasm cave and had a screen freeze. I reloaded and managed to replicate it, it seems that hitting a skarmory with breaking swipe causes the game to freeze.

Don't attack Skarmory with a stat lowering move, it's a known bug on Mirror Armor

So I'm pretty sure I have a bug. I got the quest for exploring Thundercap Mt but it instead points to World Abyss. I can't accept it either because the game says I've previously accepted it. I can't travel to Thundercap Mt. either. I can access World Abyss though.

Edit: I tried deleting the quest and refreshing the Spinda cafe until I got another treasure quest and it's the same quest which I still can't accept.

 

I cannot do anything about it and also by doing manual edits you rigged your save...

So is there any way to get a list of which dungeons certain Pokémon spawn? Also is there a list for where to get shiny legendaries because I saw a previous post in the the thread mentioning a shiny Regieleki and I want to know how they got that.

Shiny Legendaries can be found in Destiny Tower. Unfortunately no spawn list doc or anything like that. Will probably add one for 4.0 though.
