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.

WC4: Debug Pikachu Card
Around September 9th 2020, a program was leaked, and said program allows the creation of 2 games: Slot-2 Distribution and Wireless Distribution. The program comes with a few templates, and it replaces part of the template with a selected script, in order to distribute the event.
From within either template (Slot-2 Distribution and Wireless Distribution), a Pikachu test event was extracted via hex editing.
If this template was used as the final slot-2 distribution game to distribute to Gen 4 games, the Gen 4 game will freeze.
Due to natures of the Slot-2 distribution game, only Japanese games can detect it thus far.
If distributed wirelessly, it appears that the card will be the exact same, except that a date is written by the receiving device.
[We will not distribute the Debug ROMs or the template ROMs used, and it is against our rules to ask for it]

PK4: Platinum Debug Pokemon
Around September 2020, the source code for Platinum was in the wild, and the game could be compiled, with the debug features intact.
Debug start
Debug menu on Title Screen (Select) > Debug Start
The player will start the game in Jubilife City, with 6 starters, being Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Lucario, Croagunk and Carnivine.
Pal Park Entry 1
Debug menu in-game (R + Start) > Tamada > Pokepark Data 1
This first set has Charizard, Squirtle, Wartortle, Caterpie, Sandshrew, and Tentacool.
Given these entries have a Set PID of 0, they cannot be shiny.
Notably, the species encounter are same as the Diamond & Pearl Debug.
Pal Park Entry 2
Debug menu in-game (R + Start) > Tamada > Pokepark Data 2
This second set has Bulbasaur, Beedrill, Clefairy, Sandshrew, Tauros, and Dragonair.
Given these entries have a Set PID of 0, they cannot be shiny.
Notably, the species encounter are same as the Diamond & Pearl Debug.
Box of Slowpoke
Debug menu in-game (R + Start) > Taya > Current Full
This debug option fills the current box to the brim with Slowpoke, all clones.
Since the TID and SID is set to 0, they cannot be shiny.
Box of Slowbro
Debug menu in-game (R + Start) > Taya > Box Full
This box is full of Slowbro. There's 540 different Slowbro. Their PIDs are set, so they can't be shiny.
3 Burmy in party
Debug menu in-game (R + Start) > Tomoya > Test
3 Burmy added to party. Their PIDs are set, so they can't be shiny.
(this option is notably missing)
Roaming Darkrai
As previously reported, a Roaming Darkrai subroutine was found in the final build of the games.
With the debug version of the game, one is capable of encountering it.
Debug menu in-game (R + Start) > Saito > Roaming Pokémon > Location Change > Darkrai
As usual, these files would be illegal and should not be transferred. Use at your own risk.

ME3: Debug Eon Ticket
Out there in the wild, exists a German Language Debugger's/Developer's Edition of Pokemon Ruby Version,
which contains many debugging tools, including Mystery Event distribution subroutines.
Using the Mimic e-Card option in the Test Menu, the game emulates receiving an Eon Ticket,
which is notably different from the standard one players get from an official distribution.

PK5: Uncatchable Legendary Beasts
In Pokémon Black and White, when players bring one of the Fateful Encounter Legendary Beasts to the Lostlorn Forest, an in-game event activates.
In the in-game event, you'll be approached by a camper, who would then growl and start a Pokémon battle.
The Pokémon battle starts with a Raikou/Entei/Suicune, but upon one hit it would be revealed that it was a Zoroark disguised using its Illusion ability.
As it turns out, the Raikou/Entei/Suicune at the start of the battle actually contains fully populated Pokémon data, that was obtained via a RAM dump.
These 'legendaries' are normally shiny locked.

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.

PK1: The "Hooked" Series
By jojo12100
In Pokémon Red & Blue, a strange glitch was discovered by the GlitchCity old forums. (Less loud and more readable version here)
According to the report, it appears that after performing a variant of having the Safari Step counter time out when the boy in Pewter City take the first steps to bring you the the museum, talking to the boy again afterwards will result in a "hooked" Dragonite appearing, before freezing your game.
Jojo12100 was able to dump its info and replicate it, much like the process done for the Gen 1 Ghost Marowak.
Do note that in the data, it's level is 0. (PKHeX views any species with 0 EXP as Lv 1)
Besides Dragonite, other possible "hooked" encounters includes Metapod and Missingno. Those encounter are triggered by different conditions.
This page has an explanation of how Hooked Pokémon glitches work.

PK7: USUM - Totems and other unobtainable Pokemon
Throughout Pokemon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, there have been many encounters with Pokemon that cannot be captured,
due to various reasons set up by the developers by various story elements.

*Warning, contains possible plot spoiler. If you've yet to complete the game, leave this page*
This page features the following Pokemon Sets:
Note: Trials also contain relevant uncatchables wild, SOS and trainers.

PK3: Unreleased MYSTRY Mew and Hall of Fame entries
This gift was distributed in Toys "R" Us stores across the United States, distributed to commemorate the release of M08: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.
It has been determined that 430 MYSTRY MEWs existed, though only 426 was used, and 4 were not available.
This extra 4 was created due to how the distribution procedure (when transferring to the save used by TRU) has to create 5 Mew at a time.
However, as the save maxed out on capacity, 4 MEWs, and 1 starter, was traded away.
This page holds the 4 MYSTRY MEW that were unavailable to players.
Additionally, besides the standard in-game trade Farfetch'd, every Pokémon found in the Hall of Fame of the MYSTRY Mew save has been dutifully recreated and added to here.
Recreation is based on PID, which can be used to infer the Pokémon's Nature, IVs, and even encounter slot.
Based on the data, besides Blastoise, based on encounter slot data derived from their PID,
it appears that the level shown in the Hall of Fame entries is the level they were caught at, meaning they weren't even leveled up.
Their likely use, was to be placeholder fodder, to take the brunt of attacks, while the player revives their Blastoise.

PK8: Beta HOME Magearna
A Original Colored Magearna can be obtained from Pokémon HOME, as a reward for completing its National Dex.
However, a Lv.10 Magearna that had 15 ribbons attached to it was obtainable by players within a few hours on Pokémon HOME's launch day.
One reasoning, would be the devs were testing/creating the intend Magearna, and they didn't realize that this glitched Magearna was flagged as obtainable by player.
Given an official announcement wasn't given on how to obtain one, some players stumbled across it without knowing the requirements to receive it, hence it was not easy to replicate receiving one.
This Magearna was contributed by @RylDmn (u/RylDmn), and thanks to Xrex2 (discord) for reaching out on our behalf.
Besides the contribution credit, other private user details on the mon/images were wiped.
