Pokémon Divine Sword & Blessed Shield is a difficulty romhack, taking inspiration mostly from Drayano's work and also Radical Red.
Edits have been made to nearly every Pokemon, with a primary focus on making egg and tutor moves available through normal level up movesets, as well as providing buffs and new moves to tons of different Pokémon. Detailed documentation for all these changes is available in the folder accompanying the download.
The team of every single trainer has also been revamped, aiming to encourage team building as a means to overcome challenges.

- All 600 Pokémon from Sword & Shield (including DLC) catchable outside of the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra.
- Overhauled boss battles.
- Quality of life features such as purchasable EV reducers.

/atmopsphere/contents/. - Launch the game.
Yuzu Emulator:
- Right click on Sword/Shield in Yuzu and select "Open Mod Data Location".
- In the folder opened, create a new folder titled "Divine Sword/Blessed Shield".
- Put the romfs folder from within "0100ABF008968000" if you are playing Divine Sword into this folder. "01008DB008C2C000" if you are playing Blessed Shield.
- Confirm it is enabled in the game's properties.

An easy way to tell if the mod is working is if the Mystery Gift menu option is replacede with "Divine Sword & Blessed Shield", among other text edits.
English is the only supported language.
Usable Healing Items
If you want to use healing items in battle, please use the "Usable Healing Items" patch.
To install, place the item.dat file in /romfs/bin/pml/item/, and select "yes" to replace the old one.
Ensure you are playing on SWSH version 1.3 or above, or it will not work.
User guide
Pokejobs being broken is an intentional feature in order to prevent an EXP/EV exploit.
The only part of the Post Game that is currently finished is the Hop & Sordward/Shielbert section. Champions Cup rematches and such are not edited yet.
