Really proud of the first mod I ever made. It allows you to take full control over the active effects of your donut. Want the ultimate shiny hunting donut, trying to berry farm, or customize it for ZA Royal zones. Finally no more hours of grinding and RNG. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have making it.

I preface this with a notice: I am a broke college student and I absolutely cannot afford to get my switch modded nor can I buy an older switch to mod. Please don't tell me to, I am fully and completely aware that this is most likely a lost cause but I am staying hopeful. Please be empathetic to my cause; I am indeed kicking myself for selling my old switch a while back, my ego thought I'd never need to mod one.

Anyways, with Pokemon Bank being shut down next year, I'm looking into ways to get my Pokemon from 3DS to Switch while evading that. I am well experienced with messing with Pokemon saves, so I know everything else that I need to do to make it work. I just have an unmoddable Switch OLED that is, with preliminary googling, absolutely useless for this task. Is there any way at all to make it a little less useless? Can the saves be put on SD card, and edited from there? Is there some secret underground mod project that magically cracked the code to softmod these unmoddable switches? Or perhaps just a trick to make an emulator speak to my switch so I can mod the pokemon into an emulated game and just trade them to actual hardware?

Probably a lost cause, I know. I am incredibly aware of that. It's my own fault. But I am incredibly stubborn about it.
