Editing a Pokemon
There are two ways in: the editor panel next to the box, for quick changes, and the summary, for the full picture.
Move up and down the fields, press A on one to change it, and Save changes to write. The panel covers:
| Group | Fields |
|---|---|
| Identity | Species, nickname, level (with EXP to the next level), friendship, gender, shiny |
| Build | Nature (with its +/− effect and a live stat preview), ability, held item, ball |
| Battle | Moves 1–4, stats, IVs and EVs (with caps, before/after stats, EV total and Hidden Power) |
| Trainer | Original trainer |
Below the fields, a grid of buttons opens the deeper editors:
| Button | What it edits |
|---|---|
| Legalize | Finds the closest real, legal version of this Pokémon (offline). See Legality. |
| Make mine | Sets you (the save's trainer) as the owner. |
