A Pokémon save editor and bank for Android, support dual-screen handhelds.

---

A Pokémon save editor and cross-generation Bank for Android, tuned for dual-screen handhelds like the AYN Thor. Built on PKHeX.Core with the Auto Legality Mod compiled in-process, so legalizing a Pokémon works fully offline, on device.

Not affiliated with Nintendo, Game Freak, or The Pokémon Company.

• Manage your Pokémon. Open any save from a linked emulator or a single file and take full control of your team and boxes. Edit stats, IVs, EVs, moves, nature, ability, held item, Met/Origin, Tera type, Hyper Training, shininess, friendship, Pokérus, and more, with a live legality check as you go.
• One-tap legalize. The Auto Legality Mod is compiled in-process, so legalizing a Pokémon works fully offline, on device.
• Move Pokémon between games. Grab a Pokémon from one save and drop it into another, across generations, from a Gen 3 cartridge to a Gen 9 one. PKForge handles the transfer smoothly, so your team can travel with you from game to game.
• A Bank like Pokémon Home. Store your whole collection in a cross-game Bank with unlimited themed boxes. Organize with the gamepad, keep living dexes, and pull anything back out into any save whenever you need it.
• Track your collection. The Living Dex tracker follows all 1025 Pokémon across every generation, including shiny variants, so you always know what you still need.
• Browse and inject events. The full Mystery Gift database is bundled and works offline. Browse Wonder Cards from old distributions and inject them straight into your save.
• Edit the bag. The bag editor handles any pouch, any item, any quantity, with presets and one-tap refills.
• Edit the trainer. Change your name, IDs, money, and gender on the trainer card, and manage trainer profiles and records.
• RNG tools. Inspect PID, IVs, and nature, and reroll a nature while keeping shininess.
• Batch edit. The organizer handles multi-select operations: copy, move, duplicate, delete, release, and send to the Bank or Poképark in bulk.
• Breed and hatch. The egg factory and Day Care / Nursery tools generate eggs and hatch Pokémon, including one egg of every species.
• Complete the Pokédex. Mark everything seen, generate a living dex, and track what is missing.
• Play with your Pokémon. The Poképark is a living habitat where your Pokémon wander while you're away. The Nuzlocke report tracks first encounters and dupes per route, and the encounter browser shows every way to catch a species in each game.
• Share your teams. Import and export Showdown sets, and generate QR codes to move a set between devices.
• Game-specific editors. Grand Underground, Poké Beans, Fashion, and more, tailored to each game.
• Keep your saves safe. Every write follows validate, backup, then atomic write, and restore points capture every change exactly, so nothing is ever lost.
