answered Editing pokemon box sprites in XY/ORAS?

How do you edit those small pokemon sprites that appear when looking at a PC box or in a menu? I think the raw files are in a/0/9/1, but I'm having a problem converting them into images that make sense. Has anyone else done this? Thanks.

bclim2png tool

just convert to png, edit the png, then convert back to bclim

Great! Thanks for the response.

I know that no one has spoken on this topic for over 6 years but I will ask my question here:
when I use the png2bclim tool to convert the edited .png file back to .bclim, I get a .bclim file identical to my .png file (i.e. totally readable unlike those in the rom) and therefore this edited sprite is no longer displayed by the game.
Is there a step that I am missing or doing incorrectly? Or does it come from the software I use to edit the sprite?
