ROM Hack Pokemon Sword and Shield Cheats/Hacks/PKHex

[Th3Alic3]

So.. its basically pointless to have on/off(unless of course you want to change between the different shinies)

You are not quite getting it. A Nintendo Switch game can load anywhere from 0% to 100% of it's programming code into memory. The ON/OFF toggle in your Cheats Menu (called EdiZon if you use Atomosphere) only works for Cheat Codes which edit the portion of game's programming code NOT scanned into the Switch's memory while playing the game.

Toggling ON a cheat edit's the programming code in memory. If you toggle that code to OFF, then the next time that programming code is replaced... it will reset. For games like Pokémon which scan most of the game into memory, don't rescan the installed eShop title or Physical Game card it stays on.

TLDR: There are many games on the Switch with the Toggle works with BUT Pokémon games aren't one of them.

I remember using a cheat where you'd have to hold R in order to catch a shiny...and dont hold R if u want the game to give you a non shiny. is there a way we can use the same form of cheat?

You can add those hold commands to almost every cheat code. (Some specific cheats don't work properly with a HOLD button requirement added due to the timing... ie: the game is loading an element that you are trying to modify BUT while it's loading the game is ignoring button inputs.)

Here's a reference of the buttons which you can also use to change which button is the HOLD button on any Nintendo Switch code:


The lines are like book ends.
Start with: 8kkkkkkk (replacing the K's with the value that equals the button/combination of buttons)
Ends with: 20000000

The lines are like book ends.
Start with: 8kkkkkkk (replacing the K's with the value that equals the button/combination of buttons)
Ends with: 20000000

So.. for example..
here are the codes
[Shiny Star (v1.3.0)]
04000000 00766844 1400003A
04000000 00766854 14000036
04000000 007773C4 52000C29
[Shiny Square (v1.3.0)]
04000000 00766844 1400003A
04000000 00766854 14000036
04000000 007773C4 2A0103E9

In order to have a Square shiny AFTER HOLDING R the code should be:

[Shiny Square (v1.3.0)]
04000000 00766844 1400003A
04000000 00766854 14000036
04000000 007773C4 2A0103E9
80000080 20000000

20000000

hold R for square shiny and ZR for star shiny before encounter

in the future, you can easily make any code trigger based as long as there is a disable code

[code name]
<insert disable code>
8000xxxx
<insert enable code>
20000000


to change the trigger button edit the 8000xxxx part
80000001 A
80000002 B
80000004 X
80000008 Y
80000040 L
80000080 R
80000100 ZL
80000200 ZR
80002000 D-Up
80004000 D-Right
80008000 D-Down
80001000 D-Left
80000400 Plus
80000800 Minus
80000010 Left Stick (L3)
80000020 Right Stick (R3)

if you want dual buttons just add the numbers in hex
80000C00 = Plus + Minus

if you just want a disable shiny code

The Dynamax Adventures were found to use a SEED.
Pathway Seed (UInt64): 0D74AA40 (PKHeX Key)

It determines almost everything about the Dynamax Adventures. This means for anyone who cares about Pokémon legality: like Raids, the stats are determined by the SEED. This means if you are using any of the Gender/IV/Ability/Nature codes... there will be away to tell you cheated. This means one day GameFreak will impliment those detection methods on Pokémon Home to clear out hacked Pokémon.

Just a reminder: Shiny-ness for Dynamax Adventures has nothing to do with the SEED. It's completely Dynamic. So, you will be able to hunt for the perfect stats but you will still be sitting there with that 1:100 Shiny rate (with the Charm.)

The first tool we are expecting to allow us to view these details calculated from the SEED is the homebrew app: Capture Sight (https://github.com/zaksabeast/CaptureSight). The development team has been tweeting these features are coming in the next update (

The next CaptureSight update will be able to show you the rental and encounter Pokemon for your next Dynamax Adventure.

).

Once we have those tools, you will be able to start hunting for SEEDs then with PKHeX you will be able to update those SEEDs in your save!!

Would this therefore imply that anything caught legitimately is obviously okay, but anything that may have been cloned from it (say copying the mon and rerolling for shiny status) be flaggable?

 

[Th3Alic3]

copying the mon and rerolling for shiny status) be flaggable?

Yes, we will be there in time. At this point in time, the calculations are extremely intense on a computer so programs like PKHeX will not be able to do so automatically without taking hours on an expensive computer.

On that note, we have had the tools to detect this manually (1 Pokémon at a time) since December 2019 for Raid Pokémon:

The community was able to find out how the game used a Den's individual SEED to calculate stats so we could do searches for Shiny, 6 IVs, etc. This also means we were able to do the same but in reverse. Since ALL the stats (PID, IVs, Gender, Nature, Abiltity, Characteristic... and Shiny-ness for regular Raids) are determined by that SEED, we can also calculate the SEED from scanning the Pokémon which shows whether or not it has an "illegal" combination.

The community was able to start to work on the Dynamax Adventure Pokémon in the first few days of the games release. The Dynamax Adventures unfortunately use a COMBINATION of the Pathway SEED (akin to how Raids use their individual Den SEED) and some dynamic calculations which homebrew apps like Capture Sight can scan from the game's memory.

This means that OFW cannot hunt stats... but ALL but Shiny can be hunted by CFW with aid of the app!!

In time, computers will get faster. The long and short of it is that due to technical limitations... a program like PKHeX has to ignore checking this aspect of Legality when you open your save so it doesn't take half a day to open. The unfortunate side is these calculations can be done simple on something like Pokémon Home.

So, it's more likely your Pokémon will be deleted for being cheated from Pokémon Home before this feature can be implimented in PKHeX. (This is essentially same thing for both regular Raids and Adventure Raids.)

... but no worries @Wooteevar, you would never hack a mon in PKHeX!

 

[Wooteevar]

Local trade immunity just keep it out of home. Perfect reason to have a hacked switch and an unmodded Mariko. Thanks for the info as always. Your breakdowns are always very thorough and appreciated.

 

[m0mij1]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if I generate a Pokemon that's not in SWSH for example "Ariados" in pkhex. Would it actually show in game?

 

[Ultimos54]

you just answered your own question

 

[Emenaria]

I'm playing the Crown Tundra DLC with a new save data now. I just finished Calyrex's storyline, but the game won't let me fight Calyrex because I haven't beaten the main story. When I go to challenge him I get this: "Calyrex's full power is too much to withstand! You can't even hold on to your Poke Balls! You should come back when you're as strong as the Champion."

Is it possible to bypass it by editing Event Flag with PKHex? I'm guessing that if I could find and edit the Event Flag that dictates if Champion is beaten, I could bypass this.
I found a post explaining how to enable/disable Event Flags in SW/SH, but can't find the block key containing the "Champion beaten" Event Flag. Does anyone know where it's located?
https://projectpokemon.org/home/forums/topic/58060-enablingdisabling-event-flags-in-sword-shield/

I beat the game last year, but accidentally lost my save data a while ago, which is why I had to start with a new save data.
So I really don't want to spend like 20 hours to beat the main story again just so I can continue the DLC.

 

[Ultimos54]

I don't think flagging that you have beat the champion will work as you will need to do the gym flags aswell probably amongst any other story flags, It doesn't take long to steam roll the game if you just have level 100s on your team with your TID/SID with max friendship, there is the of chance of them hitting themselves but then again they take no damage and just one shot

Thanks. In that case, I'm just gonna use this 100% save file and start over the DLC because I'm too lazy to do the main story again ^^;

you just answered your own question

Have I? So unobtainable Pokemon cannot be added by PKhex?

 

[blackmoon92]

hello can you create a code to remove the black outline on the character and the pokemon conne here. https://gbatemp.net/threads/remove-outlines-in-sword-and-shield.552383/page-3

 

[Xjackio]

The problem its that they are not codded on the game, so basically those doesnt exist

So I have a problem.. I'm trying to start a new game with all 3 starters but I want "legit" ones where they aren't black pokeball icons in my bag. So if I breed them with dittos will they hatch as "legit"?

But then I have to progress a bit in the game whereas I want a fresh playthrough with just those 3.. Is there any way to get egg drops or something? or for me to fly to nursery? or something? I'm not sure how I would do this..

You could
A) use pkex to inject eggs
B) trade eggs with someone
