Hmm... yeah. That sucks. I lack a lot of prerequisite skills to make such a thing, or I would make it myself since I don't use SXOS.

I think the main thing for me is that I have a lot of Pokemon I've already caught that I want to gigantamax, as well as making pokemon I bring up from past games eligible too. I know I can just edit the file in PKHeX, but I'd rather the game interpret the file differently, rather than actually editing the save with an editor. If that makes sense?
But that said, such a mod to change the encounter tables would be fantastic too.
Ah, so you just want to fool the system to allow Gigantamaxing even for Pokémon who don't have the Gigantamax flag set? That's a bit easier. If someone who's good at reverse engineering (Like Falo or SciresM) can find the function that checks for the Gigantamax flag, then change it to always return true, when you Dynamax a Pokémon it'll default to Gigantamax even if it's flag is not set.

That's exactly it, yeah. The thing that inspired this request was a Milcery that I evolved into an Alcremie and then found out that it can't gigantamax. I didn't know it was only exclusive to some within the correct species. That's dumb and I wish to disable that "feature," so that all Charizard can gigantamax, all Alcremie can gigantamax, etc.

Is there any way I can help do research towards making a code like this?

PLEASE USE THE FILE ON THE OP!!!



SOME GIGAMAX POKEMON ARE ILLEGAL

Will need to wait on Ult for updates

UPDATE: Some Gigamax pokemon are Illegal due to them not being available in the game.

===================================================================
===================================================================
===================================================================

Hey Everyone Super here, I've recently created every single pokemon up to gen 8 into one easy database for all to use, enjoy.

Are these pokemon legal?
Yes, all pokemon in this database are legal. If you do find a pokemon that isn't legal feel free to notify me and I will correct this.

Will this database be updated?
Absolutely! If you like to know when a new update is applied I highly recommend you join the discord.

How to install?
There is a readme file inside this zip that will help you.

What does it contain?
Inside the file attached will be a read me and a DB folder. Inside the DB folder, there will be a national Dex and a Galar dex.
The Galar dex contains pokemon with .pk8, national dex holds .pk7 except gen 8 which holds the new Pokemon in .pk8. you man only have one,
the other or both in your PKHeX pkmd folder.

What is a Database and how can I open it?
A database in PKHeX terms is a folder at the root of your PKHeX.exe where you store any saved pokemon files .pk1-.pk8.

To access the database you will need to load a save, goto Tools -> Data -> PKM Database

a new window will appear with a list of pokemon you can choose, I advise going into Tools -> Search Settings and deselecting Search Within Boxes
as now it will only show pokemon contained in the Database

Prof.Paradox - Gen 8 and Galar Dex
Ult - Gigamax Pokemon, as well as some Gen 8 fixes

A question regarding the proper cheat usage rather than cheats per se.

On first post, it is said:

Atmosphere: Download the attached file and extract it. Open your SD card and navigate to Atmosphere and then titles. Place the extracted folder here. Next, you'll need to download a homebrew app called Edizon . (Note: If you cannot see any codes, remove some codes from the txt file that you won't be using. It won't see any codes if the txt file is over 32kb) Extract the file "EdiZon.nro" to the switch folder on your SD card. Eject your SD card and insert it back into your Switch and boot into your CFW. Launch Pokemon Sword/Shield. Once you're in-game, press the home button and select album. (Depending on how you have it configured, you may need to hold R while opening the album to get into homebrew) Select EdiZon and click the blue C. Your cheats should be there ready to use.​

Regarding the bolded part I highlighted, I simply cannot do that.. Trying either with or without R pressed, it always open regular Album instead of the hbmenu :-/

I'm able to open the hbmenu fine pressing R on both games and album (for the more memory or applet versions, respectively), but trying to do the same when a game is running never works. Is there any configuration change I must do in any config file to be able to open hbmenu when a game is running?

This is interestingly weird. You either have your hbmenu configured to press R or not pressing R. *It doesn't matter if you have a game running or not.*
You can edit this by modifying the file "loader.ini" in the atmosphere folder.

cloning on PKHex is easy, I have the codes for the double pack pokemons just don't care enough to use them to get the pokemon lol
Ok so will it actually work like the Xenoblabe Chronicles 2 save editor? Because I don't want to end up losing my save and Pokémon trying to clone it. I would be so pissed if it didn't work and ended up like my moon/sun deleting and corrupting the save after its imported.

This happened to me. I was using too much memory with my extra kips. Specifically I needed to update sys-ftpd. If you’re using sys-ftpd try removing it and seeing if that fixes the issue. If it does you need to get a newer version.

Yeah. I can press R for opening hbmenu just fine. But whenever I try while a game is running (any, not only swsh), album always open, be pressing or not pressing R.

I checked the file with vgedit, it has the following:

[hbl_config]
title_id=01000000000100D
override_any_app=true
path=atmosphere/hbl.nsp
override_key=R

[default_config]
override_key=!L
cheat_enable_key=!L
Maybe has something to do with this weird "!L" on default config? (what would be the ! before the L?)
I guess I will open a question topic with that instead of hogging the pokemon cheat thread.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot that in the case that your sw is using a lot of memory it won't perform as usual.
In my experience, my sw just crashes and reboots automatically if I use too many cheats at once or haven't rebooted the console in a while, but that's my bad. lol
I fixed that by turning off all cheats by default so I can manually select the ones I need.

That's perfectly fine. Don't worry about that. I have the same configs as you.
"override_key=R " means that you don't need to press R.
The "!" it's a negation or "not" operator.

Hi, every time I boot Pokemon Sword it crashes atmosphere. I'm certain I installed the cheat config file correctly. What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Does this only work with the digital version? I have the physical game.

ATMOSPHERE USERS WHO ARE TIRED OF CHEATS AUTOMATICALLY APPLYING THEMSELVES.

Navigate to the root of your SD card and locate the following location/file

atmosphere/system_settings.ini file and the with a text editor change dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x1 to dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x0.

Posting because I've noticed more and more users wanting to fix it. Hope this helps someone.

I did this to my sw a while ago. You should try it. It might help you if you have a lot of cheats active by default.

Trial amd error with the codes. Apply only a couple at a time to figure out which is casuing. Also select your cheats prior to starting your save.

Hi, when I go into Edizon it says there is no cheat config file for some reason so i cant even select any cheats. Someone on discord told me to delete my nintendo folder. What should I do?

EDIT: Apparently cheats do not work with the physical version of the game for some reason?
