First off, gotta say, using PKHeX with Pokemon Scarlet or any game is a bit of a gray area, so proceed with caution. PKHeX is a save editor that lets you modify your game save for Pokemon games, including adding Pokémon, editing items, and even changing your trainer stats. To use it with Pokemon Scarlet, you'll need to first extract your save file from your Nintendo Switch, which requires running custom firmware on the console. Then, you can open the save file in PKHeX, make your changes, and then replace your save file on the Switch. Just a heads up, there is always a risk of corrupting your save file or getting banned if you go online. So, make sure to back up your original save file before you start tinkering!

Honestly, just play the game as it's meant to be played. Cheating takes away all the fun and satisfaction. Plus, messing with your game's save files can lead to a world of pain if you don't know what you're doing.

I've used PKHeX before with previous Pokemon games and it's pretty straightforward. Just remember to always back up your saves. Nothing worse than losing your progress because you wanted that shiny a bit too badly.
