Generation VI PKX Format Discovered, Documented

Pokécheck owner Xfr and Pokécheck administrator/Project Pokémon Super Mod Bond697 have dumped, decrypted, and documented the Pokémon X and Y Pokémon file format.

The Pokémon files have been given a new file type, PKX, to match their new format. They've grown quite a bit both in size and the types of data they contain. With the limited amount of information currently available, access to PKX files provides some new insights into how this latest generation of Pokémon titles functions internally. There is more information to come as they continue work on updating Pokécheck for gen 6.

Pkx: The New Pokemon Format For Gen 6

Last night Xfr and I did some work on updating Pokécheck for gen 6. Along the way, we managed to dump and decrypt some of the new pokémon files and decide on the filename for the format.
What's new:
  • Box pkxs are now 232 bytes, as opposed to 136 previously.
  • Pkxs store the current owner + the original OT for a given pokemon.
  • The encryption on the pkx files works slightly differently.
  • Hatched eggs save the moves they hatched with separately for the move relearner.
This is the current PP Wiki page:
Here are some sample .pkx files dumped from my and Xfr's games:
And here's the solution for a small program I wrote last night that can decrypt the files:
The gible named "Wireshark" on the pp.org front page is an edited gen 6 pkx.
e: party pkx files are 272 bytes.

GTS servers expected sooner than we thought?
