What Shin Pokémon Save Editor is
Shin Pokémon Save Editor is a free, local-first browser editor for Shin Pokémon and Generation 1 Game Boy save files. It works with parsed 32 KiB battery saves and can export an unedited file byte for byte like the original. Save files remain in the browser; the maker says there are no uploads, accounts, or backend. The editor checks main and per-box checksums and repairs them after edits. Trainer tools cover names, trainer ID, money, badges, play time, starters, map position, win streak, and Shin feature flags. Party editing includes species, nicknames, levels, moves, DVs, stat EXP, legality reports, type coverage, healing, and PKHeX-compatible .pk1 import and export. You can manage all 12 boxes, inventory, Pokédex status, story events, towns, hidden items, coins, and Hall of Fame records. It also offers comparisons, highlighted hex editing, Test Drive, offline PWA use, and undo history capped at 200 snapshots. It does not distribute ROMs.
