Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Alpha
A difficulty hack released after 6 months of polishing and rebalancing the game around hard but fair challenges. A ton QoL features and mechanics are to be expected in this hack such as improved movesets, updated and Gen V+ moves, more generous stat curves, new TMs, and more diverse enemies in dungeon.
You can also expect mechanics such as GtI Exp. Share (by Irdkwia), Move Shortcuts (by End45) and Complete Team Control (by Cipnit/Jirt).
See on the SkyTemple hack list (under the id alpha).
