tool Time Capsule Transfer Tool ('pk2pk')

[Ares_tkd]

I try to transfer a pokemon that is from PK4 to PK3, always try and say: " Not converting via reflection." 

I know that I can't put a PK7 in PK3, example ; Solgaleo in Red fire.
If anyone knows a different way to change pk4 to pk3, please tell me.

Because you're not supposed to convert a PK4 to PK3 (normally)
Best you could do is recreate the stats on Gen 3...

Still, I'm surprised the tool didn't work for this instance.
Attach a screenshot and the full error message.

Has this been given any updates?

This tool is obsolete, use PKHeX instead. It has better functionality to transfer Pokemon from one to another generation.

pk2pk can nothing that PKHeX can not do.

If you are looking for unofficial transfer methods, launch PKHeX in HaX mode and set AllowIncompatibleConversion to AllowImcompatibleAll.

Updated OP with latest version.

Remember that PK4.SIZE_STORED == PK5.SIZE_STORED (136 bytes). No need to have that number twice in the array

Read the post right above yours, pk2pk is obsolete and should not be used anymore.

This program was never updated for SW/SH and should not be used anymore. Just drag and drop files into PKHeX.

PKHeX supports backwards conversion if you enable it in the program settings. There is no official backwards conversion logic, so the best PKHeX will do is just copy values between the formats and not bother fixing any issues that may arise.

Nor Calyrex nor Zacian exist in Gen 7. You should only transfer species which are available in the Gen7 games.

Cả Calyrex và Zacian đều không tồn tại trong Gen 7. Bạn chỉ nên chuyển những loài có sẵn trong trò chơi Gen7.

so is there any solution for pikachu cosplay from ORAS to USun ? (Similar problem)

 

This conversion only solves the legal binding problem, but does not solve the pokemon species that are not in the game being played or Remake a Hack ROM ?

Those forms do not exist outside of ORAS.

If Pokémon do not exist in a specific game, then they do not exist. Same as Celebi does not exist in Pokémon Red. PKHeX does not support ROM Hacks.

So I'm trying to get some pokemon from an emulated "Pokemon Silver" file over to "Pokemon Moon", but every time I try to use pk2pk to convert my 2nd gens to my 7th gens it says, "Not converting via reflection." Would you have any idea why or how I could fix this? I really want these guys on a modern day game.

Are you talking about the big red text to use PKHEX? Because if you are, I don't know how to us PKHEX to convert a pokemon to another gen.

Open up two instances of PKHeX, for source and destination. Then just drag & drop. If you want to import a large amount, dump them to a folder then drop the folder in instead.

Thanks, it took me a little bit for my smooth brain to get it to work, but it does. Thank you for your help! Sorry for bothering you. I love what you do for this niche community!
