GitHub Source Code Download Latest Release About 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. The use of this tool does not involve hacking the game ROM nor hacking the game SAV. Video example: Compatible files Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee wondercard full files (.wb7full) Sword and Shield wondercard files (.wc8) Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl wondercard files (.wb8) Legends Arceus wondercard files (.wa8) Scarlet & Violet wondercard files (.wc9) BCAT wondercard files, either with mutiple or single wondercards (no file format extension) Compatible games Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee Pokémon Sword and Shield Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Pokémon Legends Arceus Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Disclosure Neither I nor the Project Pokémon staff takes any responsibility for possible adverse outcomes or bans due to the use of this tool. Use at your own discretion. N.B: Some BCAT files contain sensible console-specific informations, which you should keep safe. Don't share your BCAT to others! Usage Tutorial The following tutorial refers to the Windows Form app. The .CommandLine app is currently just a simple script that calls the .Core functions and can run on any popular OS. Its usage is similar to the Windows Form app and should be fairly intuitive. Ensure you have the required .NET Desktop Runtime 7.0.x correctly installed Download the latest tool release from GitHub Dump your game's BCAT with JKSV and keep some copies somewhere safe Open the Switch Gift Data Manager tool and select your game of choice Import wondercard files of your choice (by drag & drop or by clicking the `Open Files` button) Eventually edit the wondercard id (WCID) if you have invalid WCs and click `Apply` Click the `Save as BCAT Package` button and select your dumped BCAT folder in the "Source BCAT Path" section. The path must lead to the folder containing the files "directories.meta", "etag.bin", "list.msgpack", "na_required", "passphrase.bin" [N.B: if your dumped BCAT only has the "passphrase.bin" file, it means it was not initialized properly. Connect in-game and use any Mystery Gift feature at least once to initialize the BCAT. Downloading Wild Area News or Poké Portal News works too] Click the "Save" button A folder called "Forged_BCAT_{Game}" should appear next to your dumped BCAT (or in whatever path you selected in "Destination BCAT Path") Restore the forged BCAT with JKSV To redeem the old fashion events, open your game -> Menu -> Mystery Gift -> redeem via Internet When you're done, restore your original BCAT package with JKSV (not doing so may cause sync issues) N.B: BCAT Sync usually occurs between 12:00 AM (UTC) and 01:00 AM (UTC) if there is new BCAT content in the servers. I suggest to not follow this procedure during that timeframe to avoid a desync. If you experience a desync, follow one of these methods to resync: Open JKSV, select BCAT, hover over your game and press X to open the menu, then click `Reset Save Data`. Download the latest BCAT for your game from my bcat_updates repo or from citrusbolt's website and add the missing files to your dumped BCAT, then restore it with JKSV.

I need a bit of help. I emulated pokemon shield from my switch bc I like playing on the computer more, and it all went well untill i got to the 7th gym, the ice one. Wen I enter the gym my game crashes and I found no way to fix it. So im asking somebody if you have a pokemon shield (or sword) save that has 5 - 7 gym badges (preferably 7) to send it, the character and the pokemon do not matter. So please if you have one please send it to me.

Hello, first of all I would like to clarify that this work is hard and takes me a long time to do it (for the 400 sprites that we have been doing on this page it has taken me about 250 hours or more), so if you are going to use my work on your website I do not care, just name me or put me in your page credits. pokemonshowdown.com and its sponsor smogon.com at the moment dont have permission to use these sprites and those I'll have in the future, due to the lack of appreciation (to reverse this situation they should talk to me) projectpokemon.org is an example of how my work is appreciated. Thanks to @theSLAYER and the entire admin team. In this thread I plan to make the nintendo switch sprites, I leave meltan and memeltan here.

Hello since a updade a lot of my Pokemon appear with a Pokeball symbol and normal types with glitched stat even if they are marked legit in Pkhex or when i try to generate others legit ones . I've been trying to search a answer everywhere but i found nothing

I'm trying to work with PKHeX, but the newest version (PKHeX 20.12.30) seems to be incompatible with the auto legality mods and they have no update (that I can find) for this newest release. If someone either has a copy of the PKHeX 20.11.28 (or any past version) or a newest release of the auto legality mods that are compatible with 20.12.30, I would really appreciate it.

Ive randomized my game and got it working to my liking. However, i noticed that the abilities aren't changed. I unless i am wrong, have enabled the ability to randomize it?

Hey, could anyone help me find my Secret ID? I can't figure it out myself, I could trade a Pokemon to be looked at on PKHeX, or any other method you may need. Thank you in advance

So, played into the DLC for a while. Messing around. Got calyrex. The titans. Well. Did a backup, made a tapu for a friend, restored the game to trade... and i was still on the isle of armor, haven't been to the tundra. The pokemon I made for my friend was there, as well as some others I made. But my team was completely different. Any idea what could make this happen?

Hello! After completing Shield with no hacks, I am now playing through Sword. I have played through Sword to the point of receiving the Rotom Bike but not the ability to drive across water. I am hoping to speed up my quest. Is there a way to modify my save file to give my bike that ability to cross water? In the Inventory Editor, I can change between the Rotom Bike (1) and (2). If I change to (2), in game, the icon for the bike has the floats, but I still don't have the ability to cross water. Apparently more is required than simply selecting the Rotom Bike (2). There must be another variable to manipulate to get that feature. Any help? Thanks, Jeffo

Hello does any one have a save file with all alcremie forms.

Can anyone help me i need a save in english for pokemon sword after the hop dialogue with the wooloo bumping in the fence at the start of the game? And can maybe someone recommend me a list perhaps with saves for known softlocks? Thx for any help

Is it possible to take my save file from my second account on my switch and upload it to my main profile which has an active nintendo switch account? Ideally I would be moving my main and secondary to my pc, then paste the secondary to my main profile. Is this possible? If so, is it as simple as copying my second save file into the first save folder? Using checkpoint btw Thanks edit: I was considering testing it myself but won't be home for a while and didn't want to break anything so I thought I'd ask

Hello my question is how do I add gen Pokémon to my sword game.I already made a backup with the checkpoint and added the sd card in the pc and checked the folder in the map of checkpoint but how should I add Pokémon in it?

Hi there! I've just completed my Dex and have decided that the next step for me would be to complete a living Dex. Unfortunately I'll be missing Zacian and Type: Null as I'm playing shield and I've evolved Type: Null. I'd make the files myself so someone could just pop them into their game and send them my way but unfortunately I'm traveling and only have my chromebook. I may make an edit later that has the files if I can get my hands on a Windows PC. In the meantime however, here are the requests: Below is the Zacian Request. Below is the Type: Null Request. Thanks for the help, let me know if there is anything I can do to make anything clearer.

Hey all. My girlfriend has got me Sword for Christmas, which means I haven't been able to play it since release and wont be playing it for another few weeks yet. In the meantime, I've been getting down and dirty in the world of PKHEX, completing my Pokedex on my USUM save ready for Pokemon Home release. I haven't done any tinkering with my switch though. So, for the time being at least, I won't be able to import pkm files to my Sword game. Is there anyone on here who does edit gen8 saves, willing to trade the limited time Gigantamax pkmn in the new year?

Hey guys, unfortunately I can't hack my Switch, but I could need a Pokemon. It would be really nice if someone would be able to help me and put it into the game and trade it with me. Thanks in advance! My Friendcode is: SW-4668-4085-6697 132 - メタモン - E6EC05339789.pk8
