Changing a pokemon's pokeball

[TheCommonAce]

Okay, all I want to do is just change the pokeballs of my pokemon. I am pretty sure I can't get pkhex on my switch lite, so I just wanna know if maybe I can just edit the unmodded save files on my microSD since I can access it on a laptop.

PKHeX isn’t an application for the Switch. It’s to be used on PC.

However, you as it is a Switch lite, you won’t be able to use soft modding to grab your saves off the device, for use with PKHeX.

Saves obtained in such a fashion are encrypted. Meaning PKHeX can’t read them. They thus can’t be modified.

You’ll have better luck trading them to a sysbot, and getting it dumped in a format PKHeX can use.
