it's not a save.
Besides the header for a SMDH file, the rest of the data is practically blank.
it is not a save. Of course PKHeX won't let you edit it.

@theSLAYER That is what I pulled from check point, I pulled it the same way I have pulled all the 3ds games and virtual console ( though this is a regular ds game) .

are you aware of anything extra i should do to pull the sav file?

Maybe your cart is a fake cart. Checkpoint doesn't handle fake carts properly. Try other extraction methods.

@theSLAYER you were right it is fake I just compared it with my heart gold the seal is different the cart is a diff color and its a lot lighter, so thank you for your help and sorry to bug (totally didn't know you could make fake carts)

no worries. If you cannot find a way to dump the save from the fake cart, your next best step is probably trading the mons to a real cart, then extracting the save of the real cart.
