Revitalizing : A Guide to Pokémon Photonic Sun Rebalanced If you found the original Pokémon Ultra Sun
a bit too easy or felt like many of your favorite Pokémon were left in the dust, Pokémon Photonic Sun Rebalanced is the definitive way to experience Alola . Created by developer Buffel Saft
, this comprehensive overhaul turns the Gen 7 experience into a tactical, rewarding challenge where nearly any Pokémon can become a powerhouse. What is the "Rebalanced" Version?
Unlike the "Standard" version of the hack—which focuses mainly on increasing difficulty and Pokémon availability—the Rebalanced
version goes a step further by fundamentally changing how Pokémon function. Buffed Weaker Pokémon:
Many low-tier Pokémon have received significant stat boosts, new abilities, and better typing to make them viable for the endgame. For example, Meganium is now a Grass/Fairy
type, and Alolan favorites like Vikavolt and Decidueye have much higher speed stats. New Moves & TMs: Over 160 movepool changes from Pokémon Sword and Shield Pokemon Photonic Sun Rebalanced
have been back-ported, including Earth Power for Venusaur and Nasty Plot for Gengar. It also introduces five custom TMs, such as TM60 for Aura Sphere TM79 for Freeze Dry Modified Abilities:
Several Pokémon now have more useful abilities. For instance, the Rowlet line gains Tinted Lens , while Regigigas is freed from Slow Start with Clear Body Key Gameplay Features A Real Challenge:
Average trainers now carry multiple Pokémon, while important characters eventually pack full teams of six with beneficial natures, held items, and custom EV spreads. Catch 'Em All:
All Pokémon from Generations 1–7 are obtainable within a single save file. No More Grinding:
The game includes massive quality-of-life updates. You can purchase EV-reduction berries cheaply at the Thrifty Megamart and access Ability Capsules early to swap abilities at will. Streamlined Evolution:
Trade evolutions have been removed; Pokémon that previously required trading now evolve via level-up or with specific items (like a Thunder Stone for Magneton). Tips for Success Check the Docs: The hack is meticulously documented Revitalizing : A Guide to Pokémon Photonic Sun
. Before building your team, check the changelogs to see if your favorite Pokémon has a new type or a secret weapon move. Don't Fear the Totems:
Totem Pokémon have been overhauled with new auras and smarter allies. You'll need more than just a type advantage; you'll need a real strategy (like using Focus Sash + Mirror Coat to survive Ultra Necrozma). Use the Market:
Tapu Village sells post-game TMs early if you have the cash, allowing you to power up your team before the Elite Four.
Whether you're a Nuzlocker looking for a "hardcore" Alola run or a casual fan who wants to use a viable Ledian, Photonic Sun Rebalanced delivers a fresh, polished experience.

C. Quality of Life (QoL) Improvements
The hack removes much of the tedium associated with the 3DS era:
- Infinite TMs: TMs are reusable, encouraging experimentation.
- Faster Text Speed & No Cutscenes: The story is streamlined; tutorials are removed or shortened.
- Updated Mechanics: Fairy Type, Mega Evolutions, Z-Moves, and updated move accuracy/power are fully integrated.
1. Executive Summary
Pokémon Photonic Sun Rebalanced is a difficulty enhancement hack designed to transform the base Ultra Sun experience into a challenging, strategic RPG. Unlike "Kaizo" style hacks that rely on unfair stat inflation or brutal RNG, Photonic Sun focuses on intelligent AI, competitive move sets for opponents, and a massive expansion of the player’s toolbox. It creates a "fair but hard" experience where knowledge of Pokémon mechanics is essential for survival. Infinite TMs: TMs are reusable, encouraging experimentation
1. The Gym Equivalent (Totems & Captains)
Remember how the original Photonic Sun gave Totem Pokémon EVs and held items? Rebalanced takes it further. Totems now have optimized EV spreads (252/252 in their key stats) and actual team synergy. The first Totem (Raticate) isn’t just fast—it has Throat Chop to punish your special attackers. You will lose. You will learn.

2. Use the Ban List (Optional)
The hack is balanced around not using the following broken Pokemon: Mega Lucario, Primal Groudon, Zygarde-Complete, and Ultra Necrozma. Using them trivializes the run.
Recommended Endgame Team (Minimal Overlap)
Build around these rebalanced powerhouses:
- Flygon (Dragon/Fairy) – Levitate – Dragon Dance / Play Rough / Earthquake / U-turn.
- Luxray (Electric/Dark) – Intimidate – Wild Charge / Crunch / Ice Fang / Superpower.
- Vikavolt (Bug/Electric) – Levitate – Thunderbolt / Bug Buzz / Air Slash / Energy Ball.
- Mudsdale (Ground) – Stamina – Earthquake / Rock Slide / Body Press / Stealth Rock.
- Primarina (Water/Fairy) – Torrent – Moonblast / Sparkling Aria / Ice Beam / Psychic.
- Mimikyu (Ghost/Fairy) – Disguise – Swords Dance / Shadow Claw / Play Rough / Shadow Sneak.
Why Choose "Rebalanced"?
While the original Photonic Sun focused heavily on lore and restricting the player to Alolan forms, Rebalanced opens the doors. It trusts the player to build a team from the full breadth of the Pokédex while challenging them with AI that refuses to be a pushover.
It is the ideal version for:
- Players who enjoyed Pokémon Rising Sun or Sinking Moon but wanted more balance changes.
- Nuzlockers looking for a fair but lethal challenge.
- Fans who want to use their favorite "weak" Pokémon without feeling handicapped.
Prepare your team, train your strategy, and experience Alola as it was meant to be played.
Pokemon Changes: The "Dex Rebalance"
Over 200 Pokemon have received stat adjustments, new Abilities, or altered learnsets. The goal is to make "trash" Pokemon viable without making legendaries broken.
- The Starters: Decidueye is no longer slow and awkward; it gets Sharpness and a boosted Speed stat. Incineroar gets Intimidate (shocking, right?) but loses some bulk. Primarina gains access to Earth Power and a slight Special Defense boost.
- The Eeveelutions: Umbreon gets reliable recovery + Toxic and a Special Defense buff. Jolteon gets adaptability to differentiate itself from Tapu Koko.
- Luminescent Changes: Regional variants are buffed to stand out. Alolan Muk gets access to Shore Up (recover HP in sandstorm), making it a terrifying defensive wall.
Essentially, if you have a favorite Pokemon that usually sits in a PC box because it's "outclassed," Photonic Sun probably gives you a reason to use it.
