What am I doing wrong now? (More legality problems.)

[Synestra]

So when B/W came out I started using pokegen, started experimenting with new teams and abilities and after a while I could go through and easily play around and gen up different monsters to create a lot of fun battling teams.

However as of this morning I'm running into huge problems. I had many of my mon genned just right, they could get into the wi-fi battles with no problems! I was doing matches last night with no issues at all, however this morning I had gone in to change an ability my Nintetales had (I wanted to replace hidden power with hypnosis) however, upon doing so I later realized it was an egg move, and that this had conflicted before when I was genning pokemon. So I went back in, replaced the move...and tried to go back to battling to perfect my SunnyDay strat.

Low and behold! Everything is broken. I can't find a single pokemon in my last box that'll work properly, and while most of the pokemon I go into battle with are all right upfront in my party, I'm most concerned about my Sawsbuck, Ninetales, Venusaur, Kingdra, Jolteon and Blissey. (The six I generally use for competitive battling.)

Help me out guys, what's wrong with these? I thought I was doing the PID gen correctly, and none of the EV's or IV's are set at illegal numbers, their moves correspond with what can be used, the trainer ID is right, and to top it all off for some of them I even gave them their actual capture locations!

I just don't know what is messed up now, and any help you can give me would be deeply appreciated.

Well...from what I can see just by skimming through them (I haven't checked anything else), I can see a minor issue: Tall grass/Darkrai. IIRC, Gen V Pokes are all set to "Egg/Pal Park/Event/Honey tree/ Shaymin. I'm not sure if that's the direct source of the problem, but I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be set to that...

Edit: Oh, I'd just like to point out that some of the Pokes are set to have 255 EVs in each stat (IE: Audino), so that could be it. >.>

Re-Checked his sav

I wasn't aware of that actually! So that could have something to do with that, I'll be sure to check that here soon. Most of the other poke are test ones or various others along those lines.

Rather the 'battle team' has all legal IVs and EVs. So while Audino may have 225 EV across the board for testing I don't use it for competitive battling at this point in time.

I'll post soon as I see if this solution works.

[Synestra]

Goodness! That appears to have been it, I hadn't touched anything else but with that simple change they were able to get past the server side legality checks!

This raises the question, I have seen posts on here saying location does not matter when it comes to gens, has this been changed?

It appears as though I've spoken too soon:

I'm still having problems with the legality checker using anything from poketransfer. Does anyone have an idea to fix this? Or what they should be listed as?

(This problem is currently pertained to Jolteon, Kingdra, and Venusaur.)

Uh...I don't really know. Did you edit these at all after transferring? Have you had any trouble with them before now?

If you just made these guys within PokeGen and didn't actually transfer them from IV to V, try changing the location to "Poke Transfer Lab."

I haven't had any trouble with them before, which is why my brows are being raised at this very sudden change.

It would appear that changing the location to the 'Poke Transfer Lab' didn't fix the given issue. As these are simply being genned, and aren't actual transfers.

I've made some progress by getting anything that can be captured in B/W legalized but the others are not looking so hot right now.

...I know this may sound weird, but use the first location. I see it as a bunch of squares, but it probably shows up as something else on your side.

Edit: Also, change the Encounter to Tall Grass/Darkrai. Try the square thing first, then Tall Grass, then both.

If that doesn't work, you might just wanna wait for someone who knows more about this kind of thing to come along. <_<;;

*Tosses hands into air* Well! I tried! It's still not working unfortunetly. D: I did try changing the locations with no luck, anything I can catch via GenV is all fine and dandy, but with anything else that I try and make pass the legal checks it's just not going through.

This must be new because I was running the exact same team last night with no problems.

[Synestra]

After fiddling around with a lot of things and a couple hours of work I've managed to find a solution! That once again stopped working the moment I tried to both level them and move around their values/PiD/nature/species.

I'm at a loss here. I've checked every guide, I don't know what I'm doing wrong at this point.

I decided to do a cleaner upload. In my party ate the mon I'm working with, Ninetales and Sawsbuck are fine, but that's only because they are able to be captured in the game right now. Unlike the others which had to be generated. (The specific ones now in my party however being Venusaur, Jolteon, Kingdra and Tangrowth have all been hatched from their genned parents.)

Can anyone possibly offer me some help as to what is wrong with them now and why they aren't passing the legality checker or offer me some advice?

Because derp :(

Both your Ninetales and Venusaur have been caught in a Cherish Ball, which would be impossible: the Cherish Ball is exclusive to Event Pokémon distributed by Nintendo, and is unobtainable in-game.

[Rewrite]

Well...Sawsbuck is in a Cherish Ball. Ninetails has Drought, which is a DW Ability, and therefore cannot be used until the GL is up (March 30th...I think); change its Abliity to Flash Fire and its PID to 307415749. Oh, and it's in a Cherish Ball.

Change Sawsbuck's PID from 927402378 to 927336842.

Venasaur, Sawsbuck, Joleton, Kingdra(s), Tangrowth, etc. all lack a fourth number for SID in the OT/Misc tab.

Venasaur lacks a game name under the Met tab in Hatch Conditions, so do Joleton, Tangrowth, etc.

Haxorus is still says "Tall Grass/Darkrai".

Tyranitar is in a Cherish Ball, and it says Tall Grass/Darkrai. It's PID is also completely missing 2 numbers.

Aerodactyl should be changed to Egg/Shaymin/Tree/w/e.

Skarmory's SID lacks a number, and so does everyone else in Box 3 and 4.

Skarmory (box 4) lacks a Hatch location. Blissey in Box 4 is in a Cherish Ball. Eelektross says Cave/Hall of Origin. Audino is in a Cherish Ball. Larvitar lacks a Hatch Location. Chansey is in a Cherish Ball. Mudkip has no Hatch Location.

Not sure if there's more.

Whoo! Lots to respond to, I know a lot of the poke in the other boxes are lacking things, because they're souly there for experimentation as I stated before.

Believe it or not! Ninetales works with both the DW ability and the Cherish ball right now! I wasn't aware that could have been a problem, though I'll be sure to fix it.

I'll go ahead and give this a whirl and see if it helps, thanks so much Rewrite, you've been an amazingly helpful person!
