Changelogs
Version 1.0.8
Multiple fixes to raids, Ting-Lu and Chi-Yu, and updated Standalone to work on patch 1.3.0
Version 1.0
Initial release (reupload)
Description **NEW IN INDIGO DISK DLC: Flying straight will have no drop over time, slight acceleration while going up is now allowed (instead of 0), & dive speed + max speed increased slightly. Pokemon SV+ is Pokemon Scarlet and Violet overhaul Rom Hack that aims to provide a more challenging Vanilla+/New Game+ style experience. Includes QOL changes, full trainer overhaul, new post game, all unobtainable pokemon re-added, improved map, and much more. Also features SV+ patches, which can transform the game in (sometimes radically) different ways.
With this mod, you will be able to catch every single Pokemon in the Paldean Pokedex and all variations in one game!
Updated for patch 3.0.0 and the Indigo Disk DLC. If you want to use an older game version, see archived files. Huge thank you to Li'Kara for all the help!
Title screen and thumbnails were created with art by baku-inu and used with permission -- to see more, check them out on pixiv.
Note: Only connect to other Pokemon SV+ while you are using this mod. Do not use otherwise unobtainable items or Pokemon from SV+ online in any way or you may be banned. Note 2: Save frequently and keep backup saves. This mod was thoroughly tested, but we are a small team and the base game is already notorious for crashing. Note 3: SV+ DOES NOT INCLUDE THE ACTUAL GAME. You will still need to buy your own copy.
All 5 star raids have been replaced with 50+ currently unobtainable Legendary/Mythical Pokémon as well as opposite version Paradox Pokémon (including Walking Wake/Iron Leaves) This large scale mod will be the base of Pokemon SV+ and aims to recreate the feel of Hoopa portals from OR/AS and increase playability post-game.
Legendaries will battle you at level 85, but will be level 70 when caught. They will be tough, so don't show up underprepared!
Each Legendary will be holding its special item (such as Griseous Core for Giratina) when applicable. Other 5 star raid Pokemon will hold generous amounts of tera shards or herba mystica.
Each 5 star raid Pokemon can only be captured twice.
2. Trainer Overhaul
All trainers and static event Pokemon have had their levels increased by 40%.
This change is meant to make the game more challenging while keeping the original difficulty curve and progression order intact.
Raids 1-4 have also had levels increased to match.

4. Expanded Wild Pokemon OR No Version Exclusives
Re-adds all wild Pokémon that normally spawn exclusively in one version. Also adds 50+ HOME transferrable Pokémon to the wild, including regional forms and the various starters. Full description below. Warning: This part of the mod creates many illegal Pokemon that should not be used online. To remove it and only allow Paldean native Pokemon to spawn, download alternate_pokedata_array.zip and paste its contents into the world folder of SV+.
This will replace the original SV+ pokedata_array.bin located at the world\data\encount\pokedata\pokedata with the alternate, and can be done at any time -- either before or after combining mods with Trinity.

5. Vivillon Restoration (removed, see note)
The world is now colorful again. All 20 Vivillon patterns have been restored to the wild.
Spewpas can also evolve into any patterned Vivillon
Important Note: This was removed because of incompatibility with official patch 1.2.0 onwards. If you want to use this feature, download the older SV+ v1.0.5 instead and use it with official patch 1.1.0.
6. Pokedex Restoration
Restores the Pokedex and all Pokedex entries for previously home-exclusive Pokemon. (note: This feature has been temporarily removed to prepare for DLC and home patches)
7. Better Map Markers
Adds markers, borders and level ranges to the in game map. Also adds level Ranges for each area, and makes area names stay visible while zoomed in.
Thank you Fokson for the help in creating a tool to make this process easier
Added Markers:
Watchtowers
Pokemon League Reps
Ominous Stakes
8. Faster Battles
All battles have been sped up by removing or reducing unnecessary action delays.
9. Raid Tweaks
Increases the difficulty of 1-4 star Raid battles, smooths out star ratings for mid to late game raids, and increases the frequency of higher star raids.
Raid assist trainers have also been overhauled to match the increased difficulty
Mid Game Old Rate --> New Rate ★ 20% Chance 0% Chance ★★ 20% Chance 10% Chance ★★★ 30% Chance 45% Chance ★★★★ 30% Chance 45% Chance Mid-Late Game Old Rate --> New Rate ★★★ 40% Chance 30% Chance ★★★★ 35% Chance 70% Chance Late/Post Game Old Rate --> New Rate ★★★ 30% Chance 0% Chance ★★★★ 40% Chance 40% Chance ★★★★★ 30% Chance 60% Chance
10. Better Picnics
Eggs will now spawn significantly faster while picnicking.
11. Better Player movement
Player movement has been increased by 25%. Slope tolerance has been increased (no more slipping!)
12. Better Ride Pokemon
Glide forever!
Drop off while gliding has been reduced to zero. Full stalls are now possible (To do: fix the auto-return to floor when stalling in place for too long)
Gliding and Gliding speed have been increased.
Sprint speed has been slightly increased.
NEW IN INDIGO DISK DLC: Flying straight will have no drop over time, slight acceleration while going up is now allowed (instead of 0), & dive speed + max speed increased slightly.
Also slightly increases ride ground movement speed.
These changes were all made with control and balance in mind. You will be faster, but still able to move precisely when needed.
13. Shiny Lock Removal
Shiny locks have been removed from Starters, Legendaries, Gift Pokemon, Battled Pokemon, and Event Pokemon.
14. Improved Delibird Presents
Adds evolution items and all Arceus plates to Delibird Presents in Mesogoza.
Notes: Evolution Stones require a minimum of 3 Victory Road Gym badges to purchase. Auspicious Armor, Malicious Armor, Galarica Cuff, Galarica Wreath, and Strange Mirror require 4 Gym badges. Arceus plates require 5 Gym badges.
15. Extra Features
Custom title card
Custom intro music
Custom end credits song
Future Features
Looking for suggestions!
SV+ Patches Since Pokemon SV+ is meant to be a Vanilla+ mod, many changes that could be fun to add don't fit into the main download. SV+ patches fix this problem by extending the mod in many -- sometimes radically -- different ways.
Want your own mod listed here? Contact me on Discord and I will share the files you'll need to make it compatible with SV+
1. Instant Eggs
Makes eggs spawn instantly while picknicking. To use, download the Trinity Version of Instant Eggs During Picnic then drop the ZIP contents into the SV+ romfs.
3. Revamped Eeveelutions Created by Likara, Revamped Eevelutions increases the stats of Eevee and all its evolutions and adds new moves and TMs.
Eevee itself has a BST of 500, while its evolutions have a BST of 575!.
This also makes Eevee itself viable to use without evolving. Each one, including Eevee, have also gained new moves.
To see all changes made, see their mod description.
Note: Must be combined with SV+ using Trinity Mod Loader -- make sure you use the version listed as compatible with SV+! Download Link (Revamped Eeveelutions)
4. Shiny Wild Pokemon Indicator Adds glowing eyes to all shiny Pokemon that can be seen from afar so you never miss another shiny during a hunt.
Especially useful for shiny Pokemon with only subtle changes like Pikachu.
This change will be active as long as you have the mod installed, even for Pokemon in your party. So unless you love the laser-eyes look, you will have to uninstall/reinstall this mod in between shiny hunts.
Installation Instructions (Standalone) Note: For Scarlet, replace 01008F6008C5E000 with 0100A3D008C5C000
Installation on Switch Copy romFS folder into sdcard: \atmosphere\contents\01008F6008C5E000\
Installation on Emulator Step 1. Open the emulator. Step 2. Right click on the game, select "Open Mod Directory" (Ryujinx) or "Open Mod Data Location" (Yuzu) and a folder will open. Step 3. Create a new folder in the directory you opened in Step 2 and name it SVPlus (or whatever you want). Then, place the romFS folder into the new folder you created. Your final directory path should look like this: \...\01008F6008C5E000\SVPlus\romfs
Installation Instructions (Trinity Version) If you want to combine SV+ with other mods, download the trinity version and follow these tutorials. Link to Video Version Link to Written Version
FAQ
Some home-exclusive Pokemon get stuck when evolving
This is can be fixed by restarting the game and trying the evolution again.
Houses/Trees/Pokémon do not appear, or have graphical glitches
This is a Yuzu issue. To fix it, go to the advanced tab then gpu accuracy (or click the lower left corner where it says "gpu normal") and change the setting to "GPU high". Or better yet, switch to Ryujinx or Switch hardware.
When will the next update be released?
I don't have a fixed update schedule, but I am constantly working on something and release anything I find as soon as I can. To get notified of any changes, join us on Discord or check back here.
Can you add X feature to SV+ in a future update?
Probably! I always consider every suggestion, and as you can see from my update log, lots of user recommendations make it in. Come by my Discord and let me know what you'd like to see added!
Can you help me with a technical issue to do with installing or creating a new mod?
For sure! The best way to reach me is on Discord, I am usually around and if not we have a great community who is always willing to help :)
