Extract text from Gen 6 Wondercards (WC6)
To convert WC6 Wondercards to another format, you need PKHeX or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Pokémon Event Data" file type, you need software like PKHeX or a similar tool.
The .WC6 file is a 6th Generation Pokémon Wondercard File developed for the Nintendo 3DS titles Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. It holds Mystery Gift event data, which can include a special Pokémon, item, or in-game ticket. Players originally downloaded these files via Wi-Fi or local wireless events.
To view, edit, or inject a .WC6 file, players must use specialized reverse-engineered game save editors like PKHeX. Standard text editors and operating systems cannot read this proprietary binary format.
Converting .WC6 files is highly specialized. Users typically need to extract the underlying .PK6 file (the actual Pokémon) or inject the Wondercard directly into a MAIN or SAV game save file. Standard online converters fail to process this format because it relies on strict cryptographic checksums, regional locks, and proprietary game engine structures. Modifying the raw bytes manually will break the file and trigger in-game anti-cheat systems.
Because this file format is a closed, proprietary Nintendo format, it is difficult to handle outside of community-built save editors. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WC6 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our WC6 converter.
