WC7: Inaccessible Korean Anime Alolan Sandshrew

On 23rd April, 2017, 3 wonder cards popped into the Mystery Gift Server.
While 2 of them remained unchanged and was later distributed on May 2nd,
one of the wonder cards had it's Trainer ID changed, and the updated version wasn't distributed until 9th May, 2017.
This Sandshrew is the first version of that event, with this original card being not normally accessible to players.
(The updated version is released to players, over here)

PK8: Unobtainable Shiny Original Color Magearna

This Magearna has the TID hacked to be Shiny, nothing changed apart of that.
At the time this post is made, this Pokémon is marked as legal in PKHeX and it is currently unknown if Home can assign a Shiny TID for the Magearna. However, there are no report of a legitimate Shiny Magearna yet and Sword / Shield servers refuse to trade this Pokémon, so i assume it's definitely Shiny Locked.
--EDIT--
This Pokemon is now correctly shown as illegal by PKHeX. HOME will never generate a TID/SID combo with a TSV of 0.

PK5: Pokestar Studios Prop Creatures (Studiomons)

In Pokemon Black 2 & White 2, lies the facility Pokestar Studios, which allow players to create "films",
which is done by having users battles Props (between a pair of legs and Mecha Tyranitar),
which are not traditional Pokemon.
Fan term for these Studio Creatures/Props are known as Studiomons.

At present, the only Pokemon dumped from RAM is are(thanks @jojo12100😞

Bringing any of these "Pokemon" out of the PC will cause it to turn into an unusable bad egg.
The only way to use it via the Battle Box feature,
but do note that none of the Studiomons have a back sprite, so it will appear as a black square.

Presently it appears PKHeX may allow importing into a B2W2 Save (perhaps with limitations),
but if it doesn't, this programs accepts it's usage too:

WC7: Unreleased Testing Marshadow

On September 07th, 2017, around 09:12 GMT, a Marshadow test card was uploaded for testing, and quickly removed.
As per previous tests, it was likely to test if the the Serial Codes they have on hand can retrieve the card from the correct Wonder Card ID slot.

As per similar style as the recent Charizard combination cards, this card is fused with Ilex's Celebi event.
Here's the few things that is wrong/notable about this card:
1. For one of the Marshadow, it instead uses English Silvally's Wonder card ID.
2. Despite using English Silvally's Wonder Card ID, most of its details is from the Japanese Ilex's Celebi event.
3. Despite using Japanese Ilex's Celebi's details, it uses the English OT Ilex, as opposed to the original Japanese OT.

Editior's note: apparently, even the testing staff is excited for Marshadow!

WC7: Inaccessible Pokemon Bank Mewnium Z

This file was hosted on Mystery Gift Servers of Pokemon Bank, and is not accessible normally.
(The Pokemon Bank service retrieves the data from here, in order to give players the Mewnium Z)

However, it appears that Pokemon Bank changes the data when writing it to Pokemon Sun and Moon.
The most noticeable changes are:
Wonder card ID from 4 to 0 Wonder card color from Purple to Gold.
As there haven't been any other Pokemon Bank gifts in Generation 7,
it is not known if this change occurs for every wonder card that Pokemon Bank processes.

This Celebi was included on the same distribution cartridge as the three GameStop Johto Beasts,
but was replaced with a new one containing the Celebi with the WIN2011 OT before the event began.

While never officially released, some customers and employees were able to receive this Celebi through changing the clock on the DS with the distribution cart.
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, this Celebi can activate an event at Ilex Shrine involving time travel and a battle with the Team Rocket Boss, Giovanni.

PK1: Debugger's Pokemon

Original Description, pre-debug rom leak
When running through the assembly of the game, it was discovered that there are subroutines that will give you a set part of Pokemon.

It is most likely that these Pokemon the game fills your party with, are Pokemon the debuggers used to run through the game,
to test whether the game is working as intended.

Thanks to @jojo12100 and @BlackShark's help with the codes, to obtain these Pokemon!

Update, post-debug rom leak
Since the debug roms for Blue and Yellow is (at time of writing) now in the wild, the debug Pokémon from those were added.
It is important to note that OT/TID is set upon continuing the game via debug (as opposed to continuing normally via Title Screen).

So while the subroutine is the same, it uses the base save's OT/TID.
In any case, debug roms will not be distributed. Do not ask for them!

PK3: Unobtainable Dummy Pokemon

In Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire, FireRed & LeafGreen, and Emerald, contains various glitch Pokemon,
that occupies the Gen III programmed index spaces of 252-276 (between Celebi and Treecko).
All of their physical stats are exactly the same as the Pokemon Deoxys.
Speculation is, the 25 slots originally contained fully formatted Pokemon, but was dummied out after.

This Pokemon, ?, has the cry of Unown, and it's only ability is none (-------),
it normally can only have the attack Tackle, and is incapable of learning any other moves.

I accidentally came across this Pokemon, when I had too many AR codes active all at the same time,
and managed to catch it, and have since hacked moves onto it.

This Pokemon cannot be transferred up to Gen IV using Pal Park.

(image courtesy of Bulbapedia)

? is a stable glitch Pokemon, and can be used normally in battle and normal game play.

[extracted via A-save, theoretically may work with PKHeX]

PH2: Level-Exp Bug, Pokémon GO Transfers

By theSLAYER

Observation of the Level-Exp Bug
Around June 15th 2023, 10am (UTC), it was noticed by players on mobile, certain Pokémon being sent from GO to HOME has the Level of 1 with a Level 100 moveset.

It was subsequently discovered that in HOME on the Switch, they appeared to be Level 100.

It was also discovered that if you were to transfer such a Pokémon to Scarlet & Violet, viewing the Summary Screen would cause the game to crash.
It was around June 15th 2023, 3pm (UTC), that players noticed that this issue (level-exp bug), as well as issue where XXS from Pokémon GO becomes random height (XXS-Height randomization issue), were both fixed.

How the Level-Exp Bug works
According to a message left on Discord by Matt (@sora10pls)(Mattyoukhana), depending on a species' experience growth rate, HOME applies an incorrect experience value to the Pokémon upon transfer, with only the Medium Fast experience group being affected.

An example to look at would be Mythical or Legendary Pokémon. They are in the Slow experience group, and they got 0xFFFFFFFF written to their experience. As such, they appeared to be Level 1 or 100, due to how the device deals with the value of experience. (Pokémon data don't have Current Level as a data point in the data structure; it is instead derived by the experience stored in it)
As such, it is dubbed the GO->HOME Level-Exp bug.

A 'fix' on the user end
As described by Matt, move the affected Pokémon into a compatible game, do not view the summary, and send it into a battle.
The experience it should have would then be fixed by the game, and it will become a regular Level 100.

Conclusion

The prevailing theory is that when attempting to fix the XXS becoming random height issue, Pokémon HOME borked the code for handling experience values to match the GO Trainer's level, thus creating this secondary issue. It is currently unknown if HOME will revert or fix the levels of Pokémon that were already transferred. (Pokémon that were sent into HOME during the buggy period currently continue to have bugged levels in HOME)

Additional info: Background for the XXS-Height randomization issue
With the launch of HOME v3.0.0, Pokémon from previous games could be transferred to Scarlet & Violet. In Scarlet & Violet, if the size of a Pokémon is the smallest or the largest (in terms of scale), it qualifies for a Mini Mark or a Jumbo Mark respectively. Thus, players would want to transfer the XXS or XXL Pokémon from Pokémon GO and obtain these marks.

In the initial weeks of HOME v3.0.0 launch, players have noticed that their XXS Pokémon from Pokémon GO were average sized when transferred to Scarlet & Violet, thus being unable to qualify for the Mini Mark. As it turns out, Pokémon HOME has been rerolling the Height and Weight values of any Pokémon that had 0 in both stats (explained in Route B on this page), and XXS Pokémon from Pokémon GO were caught in the crossfire.

Files and contributors
The files uploaded here are contributed by @theSLAYER and @sora10pls.
They have been dumped in HOME format (PH2) and converted to PKX via PKHeX for usage with the games.
The OT, TID, and SID has been changed for privacy purposes.

As these files stand, they'll be similar to a player transferring a Pokémon from GO and leveling it up to 100.
In some sense, the only 'special' copies would be the originals (those that have the GO stamp), with the bugged levels, in Pokémon HOME.

It is also important to note that the bugged originals in HOME cannot be traded via HOME.

PK4: Japanese Debug Pokémon Diamond Pokémon

By jojo12100

In June 2019, a Japanese copy of a Debugging variant of Pokémon Diamond Version was found and subsequently dumped.

When pressing down Select on the start screen, a debug menu appears. If the player opts to proceed with the debug start, instead of the standard way to start a fresh game,
the player will end up having 3 Pokémon in their party, namely: Infernape, Piplup and Finneon, all at Level 99.

It appears that it may be possible to shiny hunt these entries.
Special thanks to the @TheShadyRelapse for the speedy retrieval of these Pokémon.

As usual, these files would be illegal and should not be transferred. Use at your own risk.

WC6: Hacked Unobtainable Super Training Missions

In Pokemon XY and Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, exists Super Training missions hidden in the game, meant to be unlocked via events.
However, these were never released to the public, hence @SciresM made hacked versions of these Super Training.

All of these missions features battling other Mega Evolution Balloons that are not showcased in Secret Super Training missions.

There are a total of 6 hidden missions:

Balloons Name Mawile
Mega Mawile Fearsome! Twin Tales of Jutting Jaws! Banette
Mega Banette Danger Zipped Up Tight! Scizor
Mega Scizor Stuck between the Strong and the Strong! Alakazam
Mega Alakazam Dazzling! A Dizzying Dance of Spoons! Magikarp
Gyarados
Mega Gyarados What an Upstart! Magikarp Is Moving Up! Mewtwo
Mega Mewtwo X
Mega Mewtwo Y Watch It! Multiple Mega Evolutions!
Any Pokemon that participates and completes these missions, get their data altered (bitflags in byte 0x3A),
so for sake of Legality of your Pokemon, do not participate in these missions.

PK8: Bugged Pokemon from GO-HOME transfers

During the early wave of GO->Home transfers, a bug was found that involved Pokémon that were Regional Variants of species that existed in LGPE.
These regional variants, when transferred from GO, had their LGPE moveset instead of their own moveset.

Pokémon HOME has since fixed this bug, and they've also put out a statement saying they will retroactively fix the bugged Pokémon.
Thus, these Pokémon were sent to SWSH and dumped, for archival purposes.

PK1: Teruman Mew

These Mew were added to the box by the devs for Pokémon Yellow, presumably to run through the game and debug various features.
As these Mews were the only Mew added, and as such had predetermined DVs, it is to be noted that none of these had DVs that would result in a shiny.

It appears that Teruman was either a dev in the localization team, or just a remnant name that the localization team used.
It seems like that the OT Teruman is a reference to Teruki Murakawa, a developer credited in various releases of Pokémon.
(The same developer that was referenced in Gen 2's unused items name TERU-SAMA)
These Mew were extracted from the SAV, that was presumably used for debugging.

PK2: Debug GS Mons

These Pokémon can be added to the box by the devs for the Japanese debug versions of Pokémon Gold and Silver via the debug menu.
This option was added to the debug menu, presumably to enable the devs to run through the game and debug various features.
It appears that the OT is randomly generated by pulling from a list of possible names, as well as having fully random TIDs (the TIDs are not tied to the OT).
Additionally, the other details, such as species and DVs are random as well.
At this point, it is not known whether Unown, Larvitar, Pupitar, Tyranitar, Ho-Oh, Lugia and Celebi can be pulled as the random species.
Though it is important to note, with the basis of about a 100 saves, it does not seem possible, as none of them have even appeared in any of them.

It is also not known is it is possible to get a shiny, or the DV is restricted to randomize in a way that it only outputs a non-shiny combination.

Depending on which debug option was chosen, it either places you in Viridian City Pokémon Center or in your house.
It also gives you a Lv 80 final evolution of a Johto starter, and it gives you random Pokémon in the entirety of Box 1.

PK8: Unobtainable Eternamax Eternatus

With a Base Stat Total of over 1,000, Eternamax Eternatus is probably not meant to be owned by any trainer.

However, by hacking it into a raid (save edit), and setting the form to 1 (instead of the default 0), after it was caught in a raid battle,
it does not revert back to regular Eternatus.
(Even if the "send into box" and party/summary screen shows a regular Eternatus)

This can also be achieved with a ROM edit: instead of having the EncounterScenario as Eternatus_3 in pkNX, if it was changed to a scenario that allows catching, such as Regigigas_Raid_Battle or Motostoke_Gym_Challenged, it could be captured, and would retain it's form.
Here's an example of me messing with the EncounterScenario:

The Eternamax Eternatus can be brought to the Isle of Armor and have it follow you, and a somewhat small version of it will follow you, when you set it to the lead in your party.
However, it will stay on the spot, and is unable to follow you. Thanks to Anubis (Sibuna_Switch) for testing this. (source video)
Important to note: loading any save with Eternatus in Eternamax mode will cause it to revert to standard form.

Having this in your save will make it illegal. As per any item in the Unreleased/Beta PKM Gallery, use at your own risk.

WC6: Other cards from server for Local Distribution

This page holds a bunch of wc6full that were either test cards, unused cards, or cards that were in use but were not officially announced, found on the mystery gift servers for Gen 6.
Beacon Test Card

As far as I can tell, this test card started operations on 24th December, 2014.
Inferring from it's server title, it was probably to double check that the wireless beacon was functioning as intended.

Support Cards

For the most part, these cards are exactly the same as their publicly available counterparts, with only slight notable differences:
Their Wonder Card ID and SID were Set to 0.

These cards could have been used as test cards, for maybe screenshots or to ensure the beacon was working, that subsequently went unused.
Or maybe they were distributed via Infrared, when the staff at Pokémon Centers were approached by players claiming that there were issues with receiving the distribution.

Either way, as we did not get any contributions containing these over the past few years, it is hard to say for sure which is the case,
especially when in-game, the wonder card and Pokémon received would have looked exactly the same as the normal distributions.

Rare Candy Receipt Confirmation

This card gave an ungodly amount of x950 Rare Candies.
As the server title suggests, it was merely a test card, to confirm that the wireless beacon was functioning.

Curious enough, this card has the wonder card title and wonder card description of the Shiny Ho-Oh card.
In any case, we will not be liable if you are banned etc. for using these files.
