Pokémon Ultra Sun: EPIV is now available for version 1.0!

What is Every Pokémon is Viable?
EPIV is a complete overhaul of Ultra Sun, centred around the idea that every Pokémon should have a chance to shine. Your fave should have the chance to be crazy overpowered. Especially because the main philosophy of EPIV is 'If Everyone is Overpowered, then No-one is'.

You realise that's a stupid way to build a game right?
Absolutely! EPIV is an incredibly silly idea, but more importantly - It's Fun.
Everything is overhauled, Base Stats, Abilities, Typings, Level Up Learnsets, Move Tutors, TMs Moves, Evolutions, Trainers, Trials, Shops, Battle Facilities - you name it, odds are I've messed with it in some way. Might be worth having a quick look on the 'Changes' page on our wiki, found here: https://ultrasunepiv.wiki.gg/wiki/Changes

How Difficult is it?
EPIV is a lot harder than a normal Pokémon game, but importantly I've done my best to take on board feedback and balance it. Who'd have thought that making every Pokémon extra strong would apply to trainers, eh?
The intention is that if you go in blind, you are expected to lose some battles and have to plan for them. BUT, the documentation on the Wiki is very good and if you want to plan for a challenge run, you totally can! A Nuzlocke has been completed by at least one Beta Tester of EPIV.

Feature List?

• New Pokémon Stats
• New Pokémon Movesets
• New Access to Abilities
• New Wild Pokémon Locations
• All 807 Pokémon attainable within the region, including all forms
• New Evolution Methods/Access to Evolution Methods
• Some Pokémon have new or updated typing
• Absolutely Zero Shiny Locks, and increased Shiny Chance (1/100)

The story itself has not been updated however to counter the more streamlined power level including:

• Updated Trainer AI
• More Prevalent Trainer Held Items
• New Gym Leader, and Elite 4 Teams
• New Totem Challenges

And of course, to ensure it runs as smoothly as possible we've also had updates with:

• Updated Shops
• Fresh Set of TMs
• Fresh Set of Move Tutors
• Freshly Baked Malasadas all over the Region

I can't be bothered to read all this, has anyone done a video review?
Yes! Although a fair bit earlier in our Beta, the lovely VanillAlcremie made a video on us about a year ago, which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15-T-JbHc_Y
There are some spoilers because it is an actual review so if you wan't to see some stuff without, just scroll down to see some pictures of the hack.

I can be bothered to read, and I want to read more!
A good place to start with that is on the Changes page on the Wiki (linked above), but if you want to deep dive, and aren't afraid of spoilers this is a great place to go second: https://ultrasunepiv.wiki.gg/#Important_Pages

Where can I Play Ultra Sun: EPIV?
US:EPIV is a patch, as per the rules of the reddit, so you WILL need a copy of Ultra Sun as a base to work from.
From there, the download link can be found in our Discord in the 'Latest Version' channel. Please swing by and say hi, we already have over 500 members but don't be intimidated because it's not super active. You can join here: https://discord.gg/8mA848Z6Y6

If you're still reading all the way down here, thank you very much for taking interest in our Rom. I'm still very interested in Feedback, so please - if you do play - let me know your thoughts, either in the discord or in PMs, what you'd change or what doesn't feel great. I WANT to make your faves really fun to play. Please don't hesitate to reach out.

Most importantly, I hope you enjoy Ultra Sun: Every Pokémon is Viable!

Hello all!

I just noticed that all the Pokemon in my party have the pokerus and I’ve never expierenced this before. I know that you’re supposed to keep one in your box due to the timer and you keep the EV double after it goes away but is there anything else I should know?

Forse un po’ off topic… mi sembrava divertente però. Ci stavo pensando perché ho visto dei surfisti al mare … sembrano essere davvero i veri abitanti umani del mare. Realisticamente che squadre potrebbero avere?

Pensavo a qualcuno che si trova facilmente… oppure a pokemon che si trovano in spiaggia

Che ne pensate? Fatemi sapere, a me affascina molto anche l’idea di creare un capopalestra surfista, sarebbe super interessante

Fatemi sapere un po’ la vostra

Is it still possible to get one? How do I even do it on 3DS

I just defeated the ultra Necrozma and unlocked the ultra wormhole mini game. Do I have to play through the rest of the storyline before I can catch legendaries, or am j just getting unlucky?
