I am pretty sure that the pickit 3 can program this device but not when used in pickit 2 script compatible mode. Regarding clones all I can say from experience is that the sure electronics pickit 3 I bought just did not work and buying any clone is a risk you have to weigh-up against the cost savings.

According to Microchip the PICkit 3 and program any 8 bit, 16 bit, or 32 bit chip on the market at the moment.

On the PICkit 3 web page it literally states the PICkit 3 can reprogram any PIC uC.

Is that a recent change? I think I had a few chips that weren't supported, and when MPLABX came out they weren't listed in the setup wizard. I'm sure I came by a list somewhere once.

I would assume it is correct.  Under the bullet points on this page it says can reprogram any uC with the push of a button so I would assume it supports them all in order to do that.

The PICKIT2 will do the 18F45K20 family with the latest device files, e.g. Device File Version 1.62.09 (+modifications to do a lot of the PIC32MX), App. Version 2.61, OS Firmware Ver 2.32

And it's a piece of cake to modify the device file to do practically anything in the 8 bit PIC range.
16 / 32 bits...well, the PICKIT2 will do a lot of them, but not all.
I didn't take it apart.
I turned it on.

The only stupid question is, well, most of them...

Save a fuse...Blow an electrician.

As the previous posts noted...

The PICKIT3 supports almost everything in the Microchip PIC/dsPIC/PIC32MX lineup.

The PICKIT2 supports most of the 8 bit parts, as well as some of the 16/32 bit parts.

Who makes the 18F85K20?

The PICKIT3 (or PICKIT2) "clones" are just that..."CLONES".  Not an original part...Only as good as the person that designed and/or built it.
I still don't get why anybody would buy or build a clone when the cost difference in parts is so small that it makes the trouble of building a clone a losing deal at best.
I didn't take it apart.
I turned it on.
