This tool aims to make past Mystery Gift event contents back again in all the Pokémon games for Nintendo Switch. Since those games won't allow event injection in the SAV file, this tool creates a forged BCAT package, injectable with homebrews like JKSV. This allows wondercards to be redeemed through the In-Game Mystery Gift Menu.

PKHeX is a save editor for core-series Pokémon games. With it, users can manipulate various save files including: .sav, .dsv, .dat, .gci, .raw, and .bin types. PKHeX can also read and write: .pk files, which are individual Pokémon files, and .pgt, .pcd, .pgf, .wc, which are Mystery Gift files.

Version 23.12.18 of PKHeX has been released, bringing support for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's The Indigo Disk DLC. Additional legality updates will be addressed in the next release (crossovers, Minior, encounters), expect false negatives at this time.

Please be reminded that as of Home 3.0.0, Home checks for a Pokemon's history. Pokemon who were not initialized in their correct games will not be transferrable to Home, even if PKHeX views them as Legal (as it has no way of validating a Home tracker).

PKHeX requires the .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.0 to run. If you receive an error when trying to run, ensure you have it installed.

Take note that other related applications will still need time to update, and updated versions of ALM (PKHeX-Plugins) or SysBot may not be immediately available.
