[PLA] Help on creating legal pokemons

Sat, 23 Nov 2024 22:07:29 +0000

Hi, I'm making this topic in order to get more clarifications and help on creating legal pokemon in Pokemon Legends Arceus.

First of all, I know since gen 5, PID is quite no more related to IVs. IVs are now tied to seeds, right ?

So my questioning is : as long as I got a legal PID, does editing the IVs will make this pokemon potentially not legal ? As an example, I'm trying to get a 3- 5 IVs chimchar, If I take the one with wanted nature I caught, can I change its IVs and it will still be legal ? If not, is there any program that could tell if this mon could get these ivs on a specific seed based on your TID/SID ? I'm talking about any encounters (static/ wild).

My other question is about BDSP. Do I have to use Overwold8 to create legal mons or Pokefinder ? Cause I saw they have a section for Gen VIII, but the TID/SID always change to the max value, I guess the developper is still fixing this issue.

Thank you by advance for all the responses that could make me understand better how all of this work out

Legendary Shiny Pokemon

Thu, 18 Jan 2024 15:39:19 +0000

Hello, I need someone to share with me their Pkhex file of Solgaleo Shiny, Lunala Shiny and Zygarde Shiny.

I have already found these Pokemon on the Pkhex software but I need to have these Pokemon that were captured by a trainer in the dynamax lair, because I want the name of the trainer to be mine not that of the "Eclips" event

Thank you very much to those who share their legal file with me

Why can’t I teach Pokémon certain moves?

Mon, 04 May 2020 18:22:20 +0000

I’m trying to use PKhex to generate certain Pokémon and teach them moves, but certain (actually a lot) of moves are not legal.
for example, when I try to create conkelldur, he can’t have the ability iron fist. Bisharp can’t Learn throat chop. kommo-o Can’t learn psychic fangs. And Tyranitar can’t learn iron head.
why does it say none of these are legal? And how do I fix it?
thanks.

Tried to transfer pk7/8 file to SwSh, however the OT name changed?

Wed, 06 Sep 2023 17:36:45 +0000

As referred in title, I've created some pokemons which are from gen 7,

but when I send them to my Shield account on switch,

I found the OT name changed into "Sword." ,

which means they didn't remain the OT name I created.

Is there any way to solve this? Really hope those pkms can remain my own name as their OT...

Help with Gengar from Gen 3

Tue, 04 Jul 2023 19:05:51 +0000

Guys, I need your help to find out what is wrong with this .pk8 file since SysBOT detects it as illegal but PkHex doesn't, I've looked everywhere but I don't know what the problem is.

I need this one to have as many legal tapes as possible up to Generation 7 as it is a long lost Gengar.

Greetings!!

Get size 0 from PLA with Home 2.0.2

Sun, 04 Jun 2023 15:17:31 +0000

Hi!

So apparently the new version of Home has changed the way size is determined, if you nowadays send a Pokémon from old games through Home to PLA. In PLA, it used to always get size 0, and now it will always get Average size. Therefore, I intentionally have not updated Pokémon Home on my Switch. It's still version 2.0.2, cause I want to see if there's still a chance to send a Pokémon from gen 3 to Bank, to Home, to Legends of Arceus to finally be able to get size 0 on it. Will this work, given that I still have the old version of Home on my Switch?

Or will I in any part of the process (maybe from Bank to Home or from Home to PLA) be forced to update anything?

TWINKLIN STAR RIBBONS ON ALOLA-MAROWAK??

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 11:17:13 +0000

Hi everybody,

as the object of the post, i would like to know if there's a way to evolve cubone into Alolan-Marowak on Pokémon Sword and Shild. According to the PkHex, if I trade a Cubone from LeafGreen on Brillant Diamond ad attend to a Spuer Contest to get the Twinklin Star RIbbon and than trade my Cubone on Pokemon Sword, it seems that Cubon can evolve into Alolan-Marokaw (if I set the form of Marowak into Alolan-Marowak)?? Is it Possible?? the resulting Alolan-Marowak seems to be Legal!!

Any spare Mythical22 codes?

Thu, 27 Oct 2022 23:43:36 +0000

Yeah, so all of the Gamestops around my area are dry on codes for them so I'm out of options. If anyone has any spare codes for the Genesect, Volcanion, and Marshadow I would really appreciate it.

I already have them in previous games, but it's nice to have Gen 8 native ones.

I can't trigger the event to meet darkrai(BD 1.3.0)

Sat, 15 Oct 2022 13:51:45 +0000

i became champion, catch cresselia, i also use pkhex to get member card, but i can't enter the locked house in canalave city(i use yuzu simulator to play)

Questions about early game trade and restrictions

Mon, 04 Jul 2022 21:49:37 +0000

I’m about to get Pokémon Sword and BPSD, I was wondering if there are any restrictions for transferring previous gens Pokémon from HOME to gen 8 games early on.

You know, in the previous iterations, old gen transfers have opened until late/post game.

Specifically:

I’m interested in transferring my Gen III Jirachi, to pokemon Sword and my Gen III Mew to BPSD.
And, what do I need to enable LAN trades in Pokémon Sword?

Thank you!

Can I put Hoopa from Pokémon Sword into pokemon home?

Can I put Hoopa in Pokémon Sword? Then put the Hoopa to pokemon home? Will it be ban?

There's a chance to import Battle ruleset data on a save file using PKHEX?Are these files located in the game or saved on the swtitch when downloaded?

Wed, 01 Jun 2022 17:17:47 +0000

As the title say,I was curious on trying to use downloadable content(in this case battle ruleset GF release sometimes for some online events)
My question was if that's possible to do with an emulator with a copy of the game and adding these file in some way to be able to use them in local communications
I know it's an unusual request,bc we're not talking about wcs or .pk8 but I was interested if currently there's a way to take these files and import them with pkhex changing some settings
*This could be useful also when talking about an hacked switch without internet access(to avoid ban or something else)and a vanilla switch so they communicate each other

Help how to delete bad eggs in Pokemon Home!

Sat, 13 Feb 2021 13:45:41 +0000

Hi everyone, I would like to ask if some of you knows how to delete the bad eggs in Home. I was using the Home Live Plugin but I don't understand how it works. Please if someone knows just let me know also. Or maybe an actual video tutorial can help.

So, What Cool Combos. of Pokemon Can Be Put Into HOME Now?

Fri, 20 May 2022 13:56:49 +0000

Examples: Mr. Rime in SW/SH that's met from Hisui region can now be in the game. Stuff like that.

A hypothesis about Pokémon height/weight values I would like to research

Sun, 24 Apr 2022 23:26:40 +0000

I’ve yet to see anyone attempt to answer this, but here goes:

in Pokémon Let’s Go you are able to catch Large or Small Pokémon. When placed into HOME, these values are retained.

Then, when transferred to Sword or Shield, the height is reverted to the average height of the species. When placed BACK in HOME, the new average value is what’s maintained, and the Pokémon no longer has the original LGPE height value.

My hypothesis is that the values are reset back to zero in SWSH, but I have no verifiable way to test this hypothesis. Would anyone with the proper tools to research this be willing to help me? The chain would go something like this:

>Catch a LGPE large/small Pokemon

>Transfer to HOME

>Transfer to SWSH

>Record its size value in PKHEX

>Transfer back to HOME

>Transfer back to SWSH and record again in pkhex taking note on the height/weight values.

Are all shiny Pokémon from generation 7 and under square sparkles?

Sat, 22 Jan 2022 02:49:03 +0000

Curious to know if all the Pokémon that are shiny that you transfer into gen 8 from older games will they 100% be a square shiny? or is there a small chance you get normally shiny? thank you!

Any spare shiny Zacian codes available?

Sun, 07 Nov 2021 00:31:04 +0000

So every single retailer around my area has no more codes left, which means I'm unable to get it. If anyone has any spare codes left for the event I would really appreciate at least one to redeem for my game.

While I'm not desperate, it's still nice to have.

Cannot get Cynthia Second Rematch

Mon, 13 Dec 2021 08:18:38 +0000

I did get the national dex by using PkHeX rather than the usual method of seeing all pokemon but I did capture Heatran legitimately. I continue facing the second match teams but not the third match teams. I am not sure if that national dex cheesing ruined something but I cannot face the updated team even after beating the elite four four times.

What exactly are the triggers to unlock the rematches with the Elite Four?

Mon, 06 Dec 2021 10:24:44 +0000

I know that there are two different rematch teams for the Elite Four; but, I can't seem to get it to work.

What exactly are the triggers to unlock the rematches with the Elite Four? I got the national dex, caught both Giratina and Heatran, got my Sinnoh Diploma, and fought Morimoto.

I just went to the Elite Four and Aron still has the same team (with same level).

EV modifier for SwSh?

Fri, 26 Nov 2021 04:33:06 +0000

I am new to this so please disregard my mistake if this is being posted wrong. Is there any save editor or whatever it’s called that modifies Pokémon EVs in boxes? There was one such a thing on the PowerSavesPro for USUM. Is there such a thing on here? Or is that something just PKHex can do?

My journey to pokemon home - confirm if this is possible

Wed, 24 Nov 2021 16:04:55 +0000

Hey all!

After being completely hooked to Brilliant diamond, reawakening my love for Pokemon, I have written down how I can play every Pokemon game and transfer them to the next generation. I also want to avoid pal park and such. I do have a legit DS / 3DS card for every generation, but seeing I read something about PKHEX I was wondering if the following is a good approach to enjoy everything en try and get the most out of the games. I have a DS and 3DS available.

Before I describe my route, can somebody confirm if PKHEX is legit in a way that I can safely transfer legit pokemon through this application and then eventually not have problems with bank / home ? If so, I can skip the whole pal park stuff and not be reliable on those external software (except for the bank and home).

So here it goes:

Red (3ds) -> bank -> home

Blue (3ds) -> bank -> home

Yellow (3ds) -> bank - home

Gold (3ds) -> bank -> home

Silver (3ds) -> bank -> home

Crystal (3ds) -> bank -> home

Ruby (emulation) -> Emerald (emulation) : trade through PKHEX

Sapphire (emulation) -> Emerald (emulation) : trade through PKHEX

Fire Red (emulation) -> Emerald (emulation) : trade through PKHEX

Leaf Green (emulation) -> Emerald (emulation) : trade through PKHEX

Emerald (emulation) -> Soul Silver (r4) : trade through PKHEX

Diamond (r4) -> Platinum (r4) : trade through PKHEX

Pearl (r4) (legit card available) -> Platinum (r4) : trade through PKHEX

Platinum (r4) -> Soul Silver (r4) : trade through PKHEX

Soul Silver (r4) -> Heart Gold (r4) (legit card available) : trade through PKHEX

Heart Gold (r4) (legit card available) -> White (r4) : trade through PKHEX

White (r4) -> Black 2 (legit card) : trading

White 2 (r4) -> Black 2 (legit card) : trading

Black (legit card) -> Black 2 (legit card) : trading

Black 2 (legit card) -> transporter -> bank -> home

X (3ds) -> bank -> home

Y (3ds card) -> bank -> home

Omega Ruby (3ds card) -> bank -> home

Alpha Sapphire (3ds card) -> bank -> home

Sun (3ds card) -> bank -> home

Moon (3ds card) -> bank -> home

Ultra Sun (3ds card) -> bank -> home

Ultra Moon (3ds card) -> bank -> home

Any suggestions based on this roadmap? I do want to play every game, so optimizing is not required as to which game to play. Maybe the game where I trade to at the end of the gen (e.g. HG -> white) can be optimized?

Trading between Brilliant Diamond and Sword/Shield

Wed, 10 Nov 2021 17:42:51 +0000

I know some people have the game early so i'm wondering if you can do local trades between diamond/pearl and sword/shield. I don't use pokemon Home and my friend has a foreign ditto that is on sword. I want that ditto on my diamond for shiny hunting. Thanks!

Is it known if BDSP will have Ability Patch?

Tue, 09 Nov 2021 12:14:55 +0000

Just that I think there are Gen IV mons with pretty cool hidden abilities.

I know that people have been datamining this game, but has it been discovered if there are Ability Patch in this game (and for that matter also Ability Capsule)? I guess the more important question is, are there hidden abilities at all?

If people catch Pokémon today on BD then trade to themselves on actual release day & use online functions on release day, will the game/Switch get banned?

Tue, 09 Nov 2021 16:47:49 +0000

If people catch Pokémon today on BD then trade to themselves on actual release day & use online functions on release day, will the game/Switch get banned?

Because the caught date would be 10 days before release and I don’t know if Nintendo actually logs/cares about that.

question on shiny Zacian/Zamazenta

How can I change the raid to the event pokemon (I'm newbie)

Is it physically possible to get all 31s and 0s for a Mystery Gift?

Mon, 20 Sep 2021 22:09:49 +0000

I know in older generations certain IV combinations were impossible, so they either had to breed for a pokemon or settle for IVs (one example being Colosseum/Gale of Darkness). I received an event Coalossal, the Wolfe one, and it had 31/0/31/31/31/31 for IVs. I was just wondering if this was physically possible. I'm not too worried if it's a hack as long as it's theoretically something someone could do in a Gen VIII Mystery Gift. I know we can't RNG Gen VIII Mystery Gifts yet, which had me initially curious.

Thank you in advance for your time!

Creating Gen 8 pokemon and transferring through bank to home

Fri, 06 Aug 2021 05:44:58 +0000

Is this currently possible? I only have a hacked 3ds and not switch. Would I be able to make the mons I want from gen 8 and inject them in to my USUM or ORAS game then upload to bank and then home?

Need tools to help automate getting Trainer IDs Legit in LGPE and SwSh

Thu, 05 Aug 2021 23:32:55 +0000

I'm currently looking for a way to automate the process of resetting the game for trainer ids in Lets Go and Sword and Shield. I've played all the previous gens and used RNG to manage getting the first 3 digits of a TID to be the same and was hoping to do that for LGPE and SwSh. I have a hacked switch and am more than willing to install any apps that can assist in the process. Would also be willing to pick up a controller with macro support to record the actions and replay them after each reset. Any help would be great. I tried NXController but it seems some of the inputs arent following through on my switch.

Origin date of old generations pokemon

Wed, 07 Jul 2021 16:36:23 +0000

I studied that all gen 1-4 pokemons lose forever their original date during the transfer in pokemon black and white, for gen 5-7 pokemons happen something similar during the transfer in pokemon home or they keep the original date?

Differences between games with same mark and region

Tue, 06 Jul 2021 00:27:20 +0000

If i create a pokemon event exclusive of pokemon sun in ultrasun will be legit in pokemon home?

Or a pokemon exclusive of pokemon AS in pokemon OR, or X in Y

in the game all showed data are legit and the mark and region of origin are the same as original pokemons since sun and ultrasun have the same mark and Alola region, etc. for other examples in ORAS or X Y.

When they will be transferred in pokemon home will be there internal datas that make these pokemon illegal?

Question about Country/region of old pokemon events

Mon, 05 Jul 2021 22:50:01 +0000

I know that pokemon events from gen 1 to 5 got the country/3ds region of the new 3ds system during the pokebank transfer.

Now i'm asking if pokemon transferred from poke bank to Home will have the same process. I'm curious because i have a lot of false events injected with wonder cards of other countries, they seem perfetct in game but i know that internal data not showed in game like country/sub region/3ds region are illegal because these data are generated during wonder card redeem and not match with the language that depends with the game language when the pokemon is picked up in the pokemon center. You can say "why you don't use the same language of the wonder card user?" but i don't think is possible to know what country it was used for an european event, so for example i have a Descartes Xerneas that in game looks perfect with english language but then he has Spain as internal data Country. If someone know a way to know these internal data of pokemons would be fantastic.

Anyway what happens when they are transferred in Home? Would be all easy if they change like from gen 5 to 6. Do i have a chance to make them legal?

I learned a lot reading @theSLAYER articles and answears, I hope to continue to learn from you

PKHex trainder league card.

Sun, 12 Jan 2020 14:34:58 +0000

Hello everyone,

I am trying to figure out for the past week and I can't see how. But I was wondering if there is a way to change the battle count and shiny count on the trainer league card. I update the trainer league card but my Pokedex says 400 but I have like 69 shinies which I would like to lower. Also to see if there is a way on increasing the capture count and dex curry count.
