Using PKHeX: How to Use the Batch Editor in PKHeX

[NinFanBoyFTW]

In this tutorial you will learn how to properly use the Batch Editor in PKHeX. The batch editor, when utilized fully and correctly, can be an extremely useful tool for fixing, and editing Pokemon.

 

Please Note: The Batch Editor does NOT have an undo option and therefore all actions taken with the Batch Editor are FINAL

unless you quit PKHeX without saving. As a result.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKUPS OF YOUR SAVE BEFORE YOU EDIT IT WITH THE BATCH EDITOR.

Section 1: Basic Fundamentals and operation of the Batch Editor

 

The Batch editor works on the simple premise that all possible characteristics pertaining to a Pokemon, boil down to a set of numbers which correspond to certain values in the Pokemon games themselves. Because of this, changing, and editing Pokemon using the Batch Editor is like a mathematical statement, with if then, and true/false statements.

The basic operators of the Batch Editor are:

"." = Sets the desired value Equal to the value you input

"=" = Narrows the editing of Pokemon down to the Pokemon which have the same value as your input value

"!" = Narrows the editing of Pokemon down to the Pokemon which do not have the same value as your input value.

As an example of how these operators are used, Once you select a variable you would like to change (OT Name, Pokemon Species, Pokemon Level, etc...) and the correct operator, click "Add". This will add your desired variable with your desired operator in the correct format. The next step is to create the formula in which the Batch Editor will run. 

As an example of a possible combination for use in the Batch Editor, the following formula will change the OT trainer name on Pokemon with a specific OT to a specified OT trainer name, as well as give every Pokemon with that filter, a Master Ball to hold.

 

=OriginalTrainerName=PKHeX	This line instructs the Batch Editor to narrow it's scope down to every Pokemon with the OT Trainer Name "PKHeX"
.OriginalTrainerName=TEST	This lines instructs the Batch Editor to set the OT Trainer Name for all of the previously filtered Pokemon to "TEST"
.HeldItem=1	This line instructs the Batch Editor to set the Held Item for all of the previously filtered Pokemon to a Master Ball - which Item Index number is 1.

Some Special Tricks to use in the Batch Editor, Courtesy of @Kaphotics (Creator of PKHeX)

1. The Batch Editor window references the PKM that is currently viewed in the editing tabs.
   1. If you select a property name, the Batch Editor will indicate whether or not the tabs PKM has that property.
   2. If the tabs PKM has that property, the Batch Editor will display the property's current value as well as the data type (number, text, etc).
2. To Randomize a PID, use ".PID=$rand".
3. To Randomize EncryptionConstant, use ".EncryptionConstant=$rand"
4. To Randomize a value within a range, use ".Nature=$x,y" for an inclusive range of [x,y].
5. To make a Pokémon Shiny: use ".PID=$shiny".
6. To copy the Encryption Constant to the PID, use ".EncryptionConstant=PID"
7. To delete a Pokémon, use ".Species=0"
8. To set a date (Met / EggMet), use yyyyMMdd for the string.
   1. Example: ".MetDate=20160409" will set the Met Date to April 9th, 2016.
9. Suggestions can be automatically applied for Moves, RelearnMoves, and Met_Location.
   1. Example: ".Moves=$suggest" will retrieve and apply suggested moves from the legality interpreter, same as if you clicked on the Moves groupbox in the tabs editor.
10. Legality can be used as a filter. Use "=Legal=false" to only modify illegal Pokémon.
11. A full up to date list is available by reading the Pokémon properties from the PKHeX source code

 

Section 2: ID Numbers for Use with the Batch Editor

 

This section will focus on the input values you can use in conjunction with the Batch Editor. The Batch Editor uses the in-game index values to set the desired properties to Pokemon. Because of this you will need to use said index numbers instead of relying on the standard text based input present in PKHeX. As an example, to set the species of a Pokemon using the Batch Editor, you must use the equation

.Species=150

Not .Species=Mewtwo

Below are many of the common variables you may want to use, along with the possible values to use with those variables.

Please Note: Some variables (like location, items etc...) have different ID numbers for different generations. Please ensure that you are using the correct ID numbers that correspond to the generation of the game you are editing.

 

Ability:

Spoiler

Using this variable will change the ability of a Pokemon to a desired ability. This is NOT supported for Gen 3 and when creating Pokemon with illegal abilities, you will need to be in PKHaX mode to view the ability correctly.

The ID numbers are as follows:

 

AbilityNumber:

Spoiler

Using this variable will change the ability of a Pokemon to a desired ability within it's legal abilities. This is useful for changing many Pokemon from one of their standard abilities to their hidden abilities at once.

If you have issues getting values to stick, and trying to suggest abilities,
try $0 (Ability 1), $1 (Ability 2) or $2 (Hidden Ability)

[the value to be used with batch editor is in bold]

 

Form:

Spoiler

Using this variable will change the form of a Pokemon to the desired form (If applicable). Please Note: I only include the first 3 ID numbers as an example, but for Pokemon like Unown, you will be able to go all the way up to the ID number 27 (28 total Unown forms) etc...

The ID numbers are as follows:

0 = Pokemon's "normal" form

1 = Pokemon's First alternate form

2 = Pokemon's Second Alternate form etc

Note:
Usage of FormArgument may be required for some mons, and FormArgument usage can differ based on species,
For example,
Alcremie uses values written there to denote the decorations (strawberry, ribbon etc)
Runerigus uses it to denote how much damage it received before evolution
Furfrou and Hoopa Unbound denotes how many days left before the forms reverts.

 

 

 

 

Ball:

Spoiler

Using this variable will change the Poke Ball that a Pokemon was caught, bred, or given with.

Spoiler

The name of this variable should explain sufficiently what it can do.

The ID numbers are as follows:

False = It cannot Gigantamax

Note:
Giving True to species that do not have a Gigantamax form will not allow it to "change form" upon Dynamaxing. It'll just Dynamax normally.
Giving True to Zacian, Zamazenta and Eternatus will not allow it to Dynamax in battle.

Special Thanks to @theSLAYER for help with making and researching this guide with me

Another example, for people who mostly got the explanation above:
=Legal=false
.Species=0

Explanation (with the bold portions referring back to the code):
First line: Requires (=) Legality (Legal) of Pokemon to be Illegal (=false)
Second line: Sets (.) Species (Species) to be nothing (=0)     [No species also means deleted]

So what this code does, is delete Illegal Pokemon :3

Thanks so much for the guidance on using the batch editor. This is for the game Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon

However, I've encountered a peculiar issue. Let's say I want my SID = 1024 | TID = 224422, so I input in the following:
.SID=1024
.TID=224422

But however, I get a value that is absolutely far apart. Can anyone advise me on this?

TID and SID are internally as 16 bit numbers. You can modify the pkm in the main editor tabs to have the new tid/sid you want, then in the batch editor it will tell you the current value (stored format).

I'm sorry but I'm having trouble understanding the latter part of your advice. How will I use the editor to check the current value?

It's the label shown underneath the 'criteria/action' dropdown.

(in the example above, right underneath the "Set Equal To" is '0', which, indicates that the current value of _0x73 is 0 for the pkm currently loaded to tabs.

If nothing shows up, then the pkm in tabs doesn't have that property. The "Byte" indicates the value type of the property (integer, byte, etc).

.PID=$rand will work on gen 5 Pokemon and up.
HT_Name is tied to the Latest(Not OT), but I'm not sure how you would delete the value.

Does anyone know if this sort of batch edit is supported? 
.CurrentLevel=Met_Level
If so am I doing something wrong?

I don't think that is how that works. You should use:

Quote

=IsShiny=True
.PID=$rand

Note: Any PID generated for Pokémon caught in Gen 3 & Gen 4 games will likely become illegal.

But how do you change the glow so that it doesn't shine?

Shininess on Pokémon is determined by the Personality ID (PID). The "IsShiny" you used is simply a flag used by PKHeX to identify if a mon is shiny. You can't set it to IsShiny=False as the game doesn't actually have that perimeter, so that can't be batch edited.

When a certain PID is paired with certain Trainer ID and Secret ID, a Pokémon can be shiny. and in Generation 6 and 7 there's roughly 1/4096 chance that can occur (though there are ways to increase the chances). You can read more about Shiny Pokémon here.

So, the code I gave you ( .PID=$rand) simply randomizes the PID. As the chances of 1/4096 is rather low, you probably won't reroll the PID to a shiny one.
If you're concerned, you can simply run the same code I gave previously multiple times until 0/0 edited.

If you want to make a Pokémon shiny instead, it'll be .PID=$shiny

Can anyone help out using the Technical Record for the Pokemon using batch editor?

Trying to teach them moves, but then I will need to teach the technical records, but cannot find how to do so.

Thanks!

Is there a way to change the ot name on every single pokemon with one command?

Edited February 8, 2020 by Zero Two

[theSLAYER]

Only to change them all to one name, not to random names.

Check OT_Name spoiler in first post.

[Offspring]

Two questions:

1) is there any way to find all non-shiny Pokemon and edit their SID/TID but leave all the shiny ones alone?

2) How do I delete the "Latest Handler" via the batch editor? Is that doable?

first, uncheck modify PKM in PKHeX settings.

Try
=IsShiny=False
.TrainerID7=6 digit TID
.TrainerSID7=4 digit SID
.HT_Name=

You may wanna include modifiers for mons in Cherish balls, Have Fateful Encounter flag or have Classic Ribbons. Those are to cover events, and are typically OT/TID/SID locked.

If so. add these above the shiny line:

=FatefulEncounter=False
=RibbonClassic=False
!Ball=16

These should cover most causes.
Make sure the last item isn't a line break.

(example above where the typing cursor can go down, is invalid. Make sure to backspace.)
