What is a .EKX file?
The .EKX file extension is used for a special type of file that works with Pokémon games on the Nintendo 3DS, like Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. These files are encrypted, which means they are protected and not easily readable. However, they hold very important information about Pokémon characters. This includes details like what kind of Pokémon it is, where you can find it in the game, its special abilities, how well it can fight, and the moves it can use.
To open and change these .EKX files, you can use a program called PKHeX on a Windows computer. PKHeX is specifically designed for Pokémon games and works like an older program called PokeGen but for the newer games. With PKHeX, you can open these encrypted files, see all the details about the Pokémon, and even edit them. This is helpful if you want to add a Pokémon back into your game with specific characteristics.
