  • File → Export Save → overwrite the original
    → or Export → Save as… to keep a backup.

    • ⚠️ Always back up your original save before editing.

    | Tool | Purpose | |------|---------| | PKHeX (latest version) | Full save editing (party, boxes, trainer info, events, flags) | | HxD (or any hex editor) | Manual byte edits, checksum fixing (rare, mostly for corrupted saves) | | DsSavTool | Raw save backup/restore, conversion between .sav and .dsv | sacred gold save files

    ✅ PKHeX is the recommended tool — it fully supports HeartGold (the base game), and Sacred Gold’s changes (encounters, items, events) are read correctly as long as you load the save after playing on the hack. File → Export Save → overwrite the original

    If you download a corrupted or incompatible save file, you might encounter the dreaded Bad Egg—a glitch item that can corrupt your entire PC box. Always scan saves with a tool like PokeGen (for DS games) before loading them into your main emulator. ⚠️ Always back up your original save before editing
