Native 0.5.7 / Serial 0.8.20

Releases are no longer done in this repo. They have moved to the following repos:

• Microcontroller Programs
• Computer Control Programs

---

Native Programs:

• Another fix for the date-spam issue on firmware 13.

Serial Programs:

• Added Calyrex auto-catching and stats reset.
• Discord notifications can now be sent to multiple webhooks instead of just one.
• Added test buttons for Discord webhook notifications.

Native 0.5.5c / Serial 0.8.12c

Native and Serial Programs:

• Improved date-spam sequence for firmware 13 that is more reliable.

Again, serial programs users will need to flash the new PABotBase .hex files.

Native 0.5.5b / Serial 0.8.12b

Native and Serial Programs:

• Fix date-spam break from firmware 13. This affects a lot of programs.

For the serial programs, you will need to flash the new PABotBase.

Native 0.5.5 / Serial 0.8.12

Native Programs:

• Fixed an issue in the SurpriseTrade config that made it disappear from the HexGenerator.

Serial Programs:

• Den Roller can now recognize silhouettes and automatically stop on a specific Pokemon. So now you can easily roll for g-maxes and other 1% rolls.
• Overworld, fishing, whistling, and berry tree encounter bots now support auto-catching.
• Added Autonomous Ball Thrower.
• Added Regi auto-catch and Stats Reset.
• Added Moltres auto-catch and Stats Reset.
• Discord notifications are now sent when a program stops due to an error.
• Discord notifications are also sent for auto-catching.
• Discord notifications now include a screenshot of encounter bot shinies.
• Numerous internal changes and refactors.

Encounter bot auto-catching will finally let you avoid choosing between wasting time stopped on shinies you don't want vs. running from them. However, the auto-catch is not "smart". It blindly throws the ball of your choice until it either catches, someone faints, or you run out of the ball you specify.

There is one catch though (pun intended). The overworld bot will reset to recover from getting stuck. This reset will wipe out anything that has been caught. Therefore there is an option to automatically save the game after a catch. Auto-saving is generally risky to do unattended since bots can get off track into unknown states. Backup saves will work to recover as long as the bot doesn't break in a way that wipes the backup save.

Overall, we recommend testing and familiarizing on non-shinies with low-value balls before using auto-catch on shinies with high-value balls.

Native 0.5.5 / Serial 0.7.25

This release automates curry cooking - the last shiny hunt in Sword/Shield to resist automation. Now that the last tower has fallen, we can finally say that every single shiny hunt in Sword/Shield has been automated.

Native+Serial Programs:

• Added Curry Hunter. You can now hunt for camp shinies!
• Documention links updated to point to the wiki.

Serial Programs:

• Encounter bot filtering. You can now choose what shinies/species to stop or run from.
• Added Discord webhook notifications. Get updates and notifications of your shiny hunts on your private server!
• Added an option to start programs in-game instead of the grip menu.
• Shiny detection will no longer false positive on dive balls and your own lead shiny.
• Fixed a bug in the overworld bot where mark prioritization did not always work.
• Minor adjustments to overworld bot.

Native 0.5.2 / Serial 0.7.12

Hi everyone! We've spent the last month working on text recognition. We wanted this more for BDSP than SwSh. But now that we've done the work for it, we've started using it for the SwSh serial programs!

AutoDA Beta users: You will need to update AutoMaxLair to version 1.0.1 since the previous release has not whitelisted this new hex.

Native Programs:

• New directory structure and HexGenerator layout to make room for BDSP and future games.
• Mac build scripts no longer use its own FZF binary to avoid permission errors.
  Mac users will now need to install fzf with the command brew install fzf.

Serial Programs:

• Lots of changes to prepare for BDSP and future games.
• New Program: Stats Reset. Reset gift Pokemon for the desired stats. (Type: Null, Cosmog, Poipole)
• New Program: Turbo Button. It is a more generalized version of Turbo A for any button.
• The Dex Rec Finder now supports feedback. You can specify what Pokemon you're looking for and it will stop when it finds it.
• The Dex Rec Finder can now run on the Uno R3.
• Purple Beam Finder is more accurate at detecting beam types.
• Day skippers now show stats.
• Berry tree, whistling, fishing, and overworld encounter bots will read the Pokemon that you encounter, log it, and show encounter statistics.
• Overworld encounter bot has new settings that will work in Glimwood Tangle.

OCR is very reliable for the western languages and less accurate for the Asian languages. If you play in one of these languages, we recommend that you run these programs at 1080p.
The downloads are much larger now due to the text recognition data. To keep the size reasonable, we're only including English, Japanese, and Korean. We support all 9 languages that the game has, but you will need to manually download the rest.
