:::info
THE GAME ALREADY COMES WITH ALL AVAILABLE SPRITES. YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO THIS.
Sprite packs should ***only*** be used if you have no internet or you have been recommended to download the packs from one of our Tech Support Team. Do not use otherwise.
:::

## Importing the sprites
### Step 1: Download the Sprite Pack
- The monthly pack will always be in the #announcements channel in the Official Discord Server.
:::warning
Even if you play offline, you do not need the "Full Pack" if you have download the game anytime after March 2025! The game comes preloaded with all sprites up to pack-110 (The January 2025 Pack)! You can just grab the most recent packs at this time.

### Step 2: Open the Sprites
- In the sprite pack folder, navigate to the `CustomBattlers` folder.

### Step 3: Copy the sprites
- Click on one sprite and press `Control + A` to select All, then `Control + C` to copy.
### Step 4: Paste the sprites into the Sprite to Import Folder
- Navigate to `Graphics/CustomBattlers/Sprites to Import` and press `Control + V` to to paste.

### Step 5: Startup the game
- Once you start up the game, it will notify you that sprites have been imported. This means that you did everything correctly and the sprites should be imported.

::: warning
If you do not get a prompt saying that new sprites were imported, you did something wrong. Please retrace your steps and ensure that you imported the sprites into the correct spot.

## Additional Info
### The "Other" Folder
- This folder in the Sprite Pack contains additional sprites and triple fusion sprites that do not need to be imported.
::: info
If you want to change the sprites for Triple Fusions, you ***cannot*** just import the sprite and expect it to work. Triple fusions are not meant to have alt sprites in game. You ***must*** replace the existing sprite in the files. For more information, go to #ask-a-bot in the Discord Server and type `?tag triplealt`.
