Updating PKHeX Core and ALM

SysBot already contains stable releases of Auto Legality Mod and PKHeX Core. However, it does not automatically update legality checking for every new bug fix or new event.

Please note that updating the DLLs will put you on an UNSTABLE BUILD which can break the bot. Do not do this unless you understand what you are doing or if you need to ask for help. Help is not provided for this use case; do not do this unless you can troubleshoot everything yourself.

Note that you do not always need to update both at the same time, and they can be incompatible with each other. Again, this is why we encourage you only to do this if you know what you are doing.

If you are trying to make a new Pokémon legal, you likely can get away with only updating PKHeX.Core.dll. If you are trying to fix an error in generation, you may need PKHeX.Core.AutoMod.dll.

Updating to Unstable PKHeX or Auto-Legality Mod

1. Follow the instructions for building Bleeding Edge PKHeX-Plugins. This should also have you update PKHeX and the Nuget folder.
2. If you updated your Nuget folder for PKHeX correctly, building SysBot.NET should automatically pull the latest PKHeX Core version.
   • If PKHeX.Drawing.PokeSprite.dll and PKHeX.Drawing.dll have been updated since last stable, you may need to add these to SysBot.Pokemon\deps.
   • Alternatively, you can download the Development Build and move all required dlls into the running directory after you've built SysBot.NET.
3. To update Auto-Legality Mod, place the PKHeX.Core.AutoMod.dll you built into SysBot.Pokemon\deps folder in the SysBot.NET repo.
4. Build the solution for SysBot.NET once you have either or both of these in place. Again, help is not provided if there are further errors that you do not know how to troubleshoot. Our recommendation is to wait for a stable release in that case.
