PKHaX problem

[Araraura]

I remember when I copied PKHeX and changed the name to PKHaX I was able to change a Pokemon's EVs to 252 in every stat, exceeding the 510 limit. But in the new version (25.11.17) I don't seem to be able to do that. Why is that?

The method for accessing PKHaX has changed, now you need to download PKHaX.bat and place it in the same folder as the normal PKHeX.

Because the EV protection (along with other incomplete edit detection) wasn't working correctly in a few of the prior releases.

EVs are checked even for local pvp interactions (which does not rely on online legality checks), hence the need for these training wheels. If you truly want hacked stats, the corresponding checkbox has to be checked for the program's verification step to ignore it.
