PKHeX is a powerful save file editor built for Pokémon players who want full visibility and control over their game data. It allows users to inspect, modify, and manage Pokémon save files with precision—nothing more, nothing less.
This project exists for one reason: transparency and control. Pokémon games store massive amounts of data under the hood, and PKHeX gives players a way to understand that data instead of blindly interacting with it.
What PKHeX Does (and Doesn’t)
PKHeX lets users:
-
View and edit Pokémon, items, trainer data, and storage boxes
-
Validate Pokémon legality based on in-game mechanics
-
Convert and manage save files across supported Pokémon titles
-
Analyze hidden values like IVs, EVs, moves, ribbons, and encounter data
PKHeX does not:
-
Modify game code
-
Bypass online protections
-
Guarantee safety in online or competitive play
-
Replace skill or gameplay effort
If you misuse it, that’s on you. The tool is neutral. Responsibility stays with the user.
Who It’s For
PKHeX is designed for:
-
Advanced players who want to study Pokémon mechanics
-
Competitive players testing builds offline
-
Researchers and modders analyzing game data
-
Players recovering corrupted or lost save data
It is not made for cheating online or gaining unfair advantages in competitive environments. If that’s your goal, you’re misunderstanding the tool.
Our Philosophy
We believe players should:
-
Understand the systems they interact with
-
Have access to their own data
-
Be able to experiment responsibly
PKHeX follows a simple principle: accuracy over convenience. Every feature is built around how the game actually works, not shortcuts or hacks that break internal logic.
Open Development & Community
PKHeX evolves through continuous research, testing, and community feedback. Pokémon games change, formats evolve, and legality rules tighten—so the tool adapts accordingly.
No hype. No fake claims. Just consistent updates based on real mechanics.
