Radical Red Save File Import

Rather than retyping six Pokémon and their levels, natures, abilities, items and moves, hand the tracker the save file your emulator already wrote. It reads your party and box straight out of it.

Import my save

How it works

1. Find the save your emulator writes next to the ROM — .sav, or .sa2 or .fla depending on the emulator.
2. Open the tracker and choose it. Nothing is uploaded; the file is read where it sits.
3. Your party and box appear, each Pokémon with its real level, nature, ability, held item, moves, EVs and IVs.
4. The run's own settings come across too: Hardcore mode, restricted mode, and whether the ability, learnset or species randomizers are on — which changes what the rest of the tracker is willing to tell you.
5. From there your real team feeds Battle Readiness and the damage calculator against any boss team.

Importing again later

A run already in progress can be refreshed from a newer save, and the line it draws is what the game knows versus what only you know. Species, nicknames, abilities, items, natures, moves and who is in the party come from the save. Your KO counts, status marks, graveyard entries and the notes on them are never touched — the cartridge has no idea which of your Pokémon died to a critical hit on Route 3.

One quirk worth knowing: a boxed Pokémon is stored in a compact form that carries no EV data at all, so a refresh will not overwrite EVs you typed in for anything currently in the box.

Randomized runs

Radical Red does not store abilities in the save — it recomputes them from your trainer ID. The tracker replays that same calculation, so on an ability-randomized run the Pokédex shows your run's real abilities rather than the defaults. The species and learnset randomizers are not recoverable that way, and the tracker says so instead of showing you numbers that would be wrong.
