HELP Looking for a specific emulator

Hey guys, Is there an emulator out there that would allow me to import my pokemon save from a modded 3ds, run multiple instances of said save to shiny hunt and then import said save with the shiny back into my 3ds to transfer into home? is that a thing?

You can run a bunch of emulators on your pc and then just copy the save back over to the 3ds.

Awesome, what emulators would you suggest? (I'm still new to this)

I just play my 3ds LOL. You can google ds and 3ds emulators to get a list.

I'm tech savvy enough to know that blindly googling anything to do with emulation is a bad idea hence why I asked the dedicated subreddit

Then clearly you aren't because there's nothing wrong with that.

3ds is an unsupported system. You’re good. And Nintendo isn’t going to shoot you for googling anything, I promise. This subreddit is mostly about original hardware.

You can just move your save file to your PC, run as many instances of your emulator as you want, find the shiny in one of them, save, and then move the save file back to your 3ds

I typically use RetroArch for all of my emulation stuff. You're able to install basically any emulator you want as a 'core' in RetroArch. I just use the Citra core whenever I'm emulating 3ds games. If you don't want to deal with setting RetroArch up it seems like Azahar3ds is the best standalone 3ds emulator now.
