Description
This is a roguelite hack inspired by Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door’s Pit of 100 Trials, adapted to Pokemon. You start with 3 random Pokemon and face a random trainer gauntlet across 100 floors. Each floor’s enemy team is randomly generated, with difficulty scaling from Lvl 1 to Lvl 100.
There are singles, doubles, and mixed battle modes, plus various challenge options. Every 5th floor is a Heal/Shop floor, every 10th has a Move Tutor, and every 25th features a Boss battle. Defeat a Boss to gain a new party member.
After completing floor 100, you can keep going to test your limits.

Change Log
Version 2.2.1
- This is mainly a balancing patch for Gen 9 mode gimmicks. They had some issues like being too common and being able to double gimmick. This stuff should be fixed now. If you’re not playing Gen 9 mode this update isn’t too important
Version 2.2.0 – HUGE UPDATE
Consider this release a beta, with some things that could break.
- Add Tera / Dynamax Into Gen 9 Mode (courtesy of the pokeemerald-expansion)
- Refactor How All Gimmicks Are Handled. You individually toggle each gimmick from the Mode Menu, and then the Foe Gimmicks option determines if the enemies use them, use them randomly, or start off not using them and slowly use them more.
- Hope mode still has no gimmicks, Despair Mode has just mega. You can turn off the ones you don’t like in the Custom Mode which we advise
- Fix various forms like Enamorus
- Add Running Shoes Evo Item To Add On Top of Friendship Evos
- Various Move effect Fixes
- Remove Pickup as its mechanics unintentionally break the game
- Add Signature items as item reward drops if you have a mon with a signature item (otherwise it won’t roll one)
- Add Inverse Battles
- Add No Items During Battle Option
- gender changing item in shop
- Fix Wonder Trade Mono Type
Saves should be compatible but its possible you might have weird settings set when loading in the first time.
