Frequently Asked Questions

Which Pokémon games are supported?

Our binary analyzer works with save files from most mainline Pokémon games. Results are best for games with well-documented save structures (Gen 3-5 especially).

Can I edit individual Pokémon stats?

You can modify numeric values within the save that correspond to IVs, EVs, and experience. Search for known stat values to locate them.

Is this the same as PKHeX?

Our editor provides general binary analysis of Pokémon save files. For generation-specific features like legality checking, dedicated tools like PKHeX offer more specialized functionality.

Can I edit shiny status?

Shininess is determined by a combination of PID and trainer ID values. You can modify these binary values, but getting valid shiny combinations requires understanding the game's shiny formula.
