Description:
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.

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
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.

Item Changes
Less useless junk in Poké Marts!
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!
Full list of Shop Changes.

Full list of Shop Changes.
Standard Poké Marts no longer stock Antidote and other single-status relief items or Repels less than the Max Repel.

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!
