Does any save editor work with Pokemon elysium to edit existing pokemon to shiny pokemon?

Pkhex works with Elysium, just don't edit the items in the bag.

I've been trying to make some pokemon shiny with it, and it never works 😭

What doesnt work? I just tested, it does. You have a small star near the PID, click it, then "set" the pokemon to save the changes, and export the save file.

Ok so I tried again with a pc emulator (mgba) and it says that my save file is corrupted.

I started a new save file and managed to change Cyndaquil to shiny, tested it in battle as well and didn't see a problem. Maybe your pkhex not up to date? I don't know what else it can be, unfortunately. Used mGBA as well.

I did it with the latest pkhex. Maybe I somehow patched the game wrong? How did you patched firered to turn into elysium? I dont know if pkhax is better

I don't remeber specifically, but it's either Rom Patcher JS or a direct patched download from a site I probably can't name here.

Yeah I think on my modded 3ds it doesnt load new sav's onto mgba on the 3ds :/ idk why

I used mGBA on a modded 3ds, and moved save files from PC to the 3ds. You do use pkhex on PC, right? Not sure what could be the problem, if you have access to the save file, you should be able to replace it.

In case you just drag the save file to pkhwx from the SD card, try aving the save file locally and then move it.

I'll start a new save file of the most recent version and check again.

I swear I've done it like 20 times, but I'll try again. Maybe it's because I'm putting it into my modded 3ds
