CHEAT FILE UPDATED: 21/03/2026 | Updated through Page 355
IMPORTANT NOTICES:
- Patience is appreciated: New cheats will arrive as they are developed. Repeatedly asking for codes in the thread will not speed up the process.
- Emulator Support: Cheat compatibility is tailored for Atmosphere CFW on hardware. Emulator support (Ryujinx, Eden, etc.) is not guaranteed, and creators do not optimize specifically for emus.
- Cheat not working after an update?
- Check the Build ID matches your game version below.
- Perform a clean, fresh reinstall of EdiZon, EdiZon Overlay, Tesla Menu, or Breeze (do not simply overwrite old files).
Step 1: Backup Your Save
Step 2: Load and Verify Trainer Info
Step 3: Main Tab Configuration
Step 4: Met Tab Configuration
Step 5: Stats & Attacks
Step 6: Injecting to Box & Exporting
- Open JKSV or Checkpoint on your Switch (Atmosphere CFW).
- Locate Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
- Create two separate backups:
- Backup 1 (Clean): Your emergency untouched fallback save.
- Backup 2 (Edit): The save you intend to modify in PKHeX.
- Mount your SD card to your PC (via FTP, NX-Shell, or USB/Card Reader).
- Navigate to your JKSV/Checkpoint folder. You will find three core files:
main,backup, andtrade. - The primary files you will be editing and saving are
mainandbackup.
Step 2: Load and Verify Trainer Info
- Launch PKHeX, select File > Open, and select the
mainfile inside your second backup folder. - Right-click an existing Pokémon caught in your game and select View.
- Head to the OT/Misc tab.
- Crucial: Copy down your TID, SID, and OT. You must match these on newly generated Pokémon so they obey commands and pass in-game legality checks.
Step 3: Main Tab Configuration
- ★ (Star Icon): Toggles Shiny status.
- PID: Click Reroll for every generated Pokémon so they maintain distinct individual values.
- Species / Nickname: Select species; tick nickname only if applying a custom name.
- Level / XP: Set level directly; PKHeX auto-fills the corresponding experience curve.
- Nature & Stat Nature: Match both to avoid stat recalculation discrepancies.
- Held Item: Select desired held item.
- Friendship: Max value is 255.
- Scale / Alpha / Weight / Height: Adjust dimensions and alpha status flags freely.
Step 4: Met Tab Configuration
- Right-click the Met Location dropdown to auto-detect valid encounter zones and valid met levels.
- Match Met Level with Obedience Level.
Step 5: Stats & Attacks
- IVs & EVs: Individual values cap at 31 per stat. Total effort values (EVs) cannot exceed 510.
- Movesets: Green indicates native level-up moves; gray indicates TM/Machine learnsets. If selecting a technical machine move, add it into the Relearn Moves section below it.
- Legality Checker: Look at the top-left status icon on the Pokémon preview:
Green Checkmark: Legal and safe to use.
Red Warning: Click the icon to view why it's flagged and adjust the flagged parameters.
Step 6: Injecting to Box & Exporting
- Once verified legal, right-click an empty box slot and choose Set.
- (Optional) Use SAV > Items or SAV > Pokedex to edit inventory limits (999 max) or trigger Dex completion flags.
- Go to File > Export SAV... > Export main.
- Save and replace the
mainfile in your edited backup folder, and export a duplicate overbackup. - Return to your Switch, launch JKSV/Checkpoint, and restore the edited backup folder.

Disabling "Cheats On by Default":
- Copy
sd:/atmosphere/config_templates/system_settings.initosd:/atmosphere/config/system_settings.ini. - Open the file, locate
;dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x1. - Change it to
dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x0and delete the leading semicolon (;). - Alternative: You can toggle this setting directly inside Breeze.
Bypassing EdiZon via Override Key:
- Copy
sd:/atmosphere/config_templates/override_config.initosd:/atmosphere/config/override_config.ini. - Uncomment and set:
Code:[default_config] override_key=!L cheat_enable_key=!L - Hold L while launching the game until the title screen displays.
- Copy
Cheats Not Showing Up:
- Open the Tesla overlay menu shortcut: L + D-Pad Down + R3 (Right Stick Click).
- Ensure your cheat filename exactly matches the Build ID of your installed update.
- Keep your cheat text file size below 32 KB to avoid memory parsing drops.
Crashing / Freezing on Boot:
- Avoid enabling more than 5–6 codes simultaneously.
- Ensure cheat titles do not contain nested brackets or illegal punctuation.
- Move memory-heavy codes (such as "Catch Trainer's Pokémon") to the very bottom of the file.
- Update your EdiZon Overlay binaries.
Communication Errors:
- Using real-time memory edits will immediately disconnect you from online sessions or trigger server synchronization halts. Disable all cheats before accessing networked features.
