What does this program do?
Legality Checker is a simple tool designed to aid a person in determining if their Diamond/Pearl/Platinum Pokemon is Legal.
The program checks for certain values and relationships which cannot be seen in-game. Everything else should be viewable in-game.
CheckSum:
- This number represents a crude integrity check of the pokemon data. If it is Invalid, the pokemon was modified externally to the game.
Pokemon ID:
- This number is the personality ID of the pokemon. It determines nature, gender, ability, and shinyness
- The ability (1 or 2), should correspond to the ability seen in-game. This may be different for pal parked pokemon where abilities were
later introduced for Diamond/Pearl.
Individual Values (IVs):
- This is a set of numbers representing the pokemon's genetic disposition to a particular stat. The set is in order of:
- HP, Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, Special Defense
Secret ID:
- This number distinguishes a trainer from others which may have the same name and/or trainer id.
Hidden Power:
- The type and damage related to the Hidden Power move.
Fateful Encounter:
- Certain pokemon from promotional events (like mystery gifts) have this flag.
Gender Check:
- If this is invalid, the pokemon is hacked.
Effort Values:
- If this is invalid, the pokemon was altered by an external program.
Trash Bytes:
- Pokemon Pal Parked from GBA have this. If this is displayed, it must be valid or the pokemon is hacked.
- Mystery Gift pokemon also have this. If this is displayed, it must be valid or the pokemon is hacked.
Country Originated:
- This is the country/language that the pokemon originated from.
- For pal parked pokemon, it may be different then the Pal Parked Country.
Pal Parked Country:
- This is the country of the diamond/pearl game that pal parked the pokemon.
- This is determined by trash bytes. If trash bytes are invalid, this does not apply (since the pokemon is hacked anyways).
- If the pal park country says "Indeterminate", this is because there are no trash bytes to check.
- If a pokemon evolved, the trash bytes may say "Japan" or "Invalid" instead of the proper country. This is normal.
- A pokemon that was pal parked by a different country than the country of origin or the korean game must be nicknamed.
In this scenario, the trash bytes will be invalid if the pokemon does not have the IsNicknamed flag.
