(V13) Pokemon Radical Rejuvenation Mod (Balance Changes)

[KenzieEmm]

If you're like me, you've probably gotten to Terajuma and were immediately met with tragedy as your early game aces fell off in the face of the massive difficulty spike. This mod attempts to fix the large discrepancy in 'Mon power by buffing many underperformers and adding new options for some that are already good. Maybe Mightyena isn't sweeping Angie, and Dewgong still isn't beating Alain's Volcanion, but now both will stay useful once enemy trainers start using EVs. For the most part, these changes were ripped directly from Pokemon Radical Red, the massive overhaul of Fire Red by Soupercell.

As it stands currently, I have not messed with trainers except in cases like with Meganium where the Pokemon functions very differently than it does in a real game. And be warned that, much like Radical Red itself, this mod is in no way balanced and many buffs do not take into consideration when the Pokemon is available in a play through. If there's popular support for it, I can attempt to tweak trainers and encounters and buff weaker crests and add new ones to create something similar to Reborn Redux.

Litten learns Parting Shot as an egg move in SwSh but not in SM/USUM, so that might have something to do with it.

Very good mod, thanks. Could you give a bigger buff to Chimecho though? I like that guy.

Sorry for the issue! There was some issues with me being incompetent with Google Drive, but that has been fixed!

[Gryff]

I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with the mod. The damage the Hatenna should be doing is 3 while the Scorbunny should take 4 turns to kill the Hatenna. However, this is after one turn of battle. I have done the exact same battle in the regular version and it works as it should.




 

[Maverillion]

Does anyone know if this is mac compatible?

Excellent catch. What appears to have happened is that an attempt at bringing back Selfdestruct and Explosion's defense reduction was mistakenly applying to everything. This has been corrected, and the updated version has been uploaded.

I don't know anything about Mac unfortunately but as long as base Rejuvenation works this should too. I haven't changed anything fundamental.

Since the mac version has a few small differences and the mod isnt just a mod folder add on, it doesnt seem to work

[Gryff]

Also, when you say "This mod is compatible with all other mods as long as they do not touch the data for moves, abilities, or the Pokemon themselves."

does this mean its not compatible with debug?

I tested it, its compatible just you can't add in the new moves.

 

Also has anyone seen what comet punch ledian with crest can do LOL I got 18 hits once.

[CocoJanelle]

You have a list of added abilities but your Pokémon changes doesn't mention them being added to any of the mons, is this a future plan or?

Hi, I've been trying to add the mod on my mac and it doesnt seem to work, how did you get it to work?

[KFB]

This is the error I get, anyone have an idea on how to fix?

[dame2s]

My absol with blademaster rarely crits with night slash

 

[Mikoxaflopin]

I know its been a while since this thread has seen attention but can anyone confirm if coalesce is working for chikorita? currently not seeing any healing.

[Mikoxaflopin]

I tried to get coalesce working by editing the scripts myself but the best I could do is get it to heal twice at the end of each turn. Every other attempt gave me errors and thus I gave up lol.

[ColonelAngus]

Would this mod work for 13.5 since it only affects mons and movesets?

[espeon860]

probably not since lots of stuff is added and would messed with the scripts you might have to wait.
