USUM - I Choose You Cap Pikachu

[theSLAYER]

@Jackson2K12 we already have a separate thread for the other Pikachu information updated.

thanks anyway!

[theSLAYER]

So according to SciresM's tweet:

They borked up again.

The QR for I Choose You Pikachu was supposed to be EU only, but they accidentally coded it to be for US as well.
So we already have a public code for US I Choose You Pikachu, rejoice!

Isn't that post referring to the EU code being also compatible with US games, thus leaving JP out?

You're right, I misread/misunderstood the post!

I rechecked, the bytes, and 06 covers EU and US!

We already have a JP code from the JP movie.

yeah, I misunderstood and thought the JP included the US one.
The clarification is that is the EU one that included the US one. Updated the post to reflect the changes

Yep -- once it's usable I can post the cleaned up EU/US code, too.

I haven't seen the EU QR, anyone have a link or cleanup?

It has not been posted anywhere -- I was asked by the person who sent me it not to share it publically yet.

That explains why I haven't seen it. Ok cool.

EDIT: Are the first 4 bytes IVs? 1 guaranteed?

EDIT Again: It would make sense they would include US if they want to redistribute the same QR code later for the US, or more likely for SEA.

No. They're game ID bitmasks, among other things. First byte FF = Sun, Moon, US, UM -- FC = US, UM.

 

Also if it's like the magearna event the pikachu species and forms will get overridden by the game's parsing code regardless of what's in the QR anyway >.> 

 

(Magearna QR codepath does if (species != magearna) { species = magearna; })

 

Last 8 bytes are SHA1(first 0x58) but that's standard memecrypto.

By that logic they would require a game update if they decided to make a QR for something else.  You would think they would just not read the species field whatsoever too.

You don't understand the memekey system -- they have an RSA private key with the singular purpose of signing the magearna codes.

 

The codepath taken depends on the memekey index, found after the POKE magic -- in this case, index 9 is reserved for I choose you cap pikachu (it was a reserved, error path in Sun/Moon).

 

Also, the species field gets used to decide what to display in the scan window, so they have to overwrite it.

I see, so it is a kind of check.  Ok that makes sense.

Partner Cap Pikachu (EU/US)

I would scan the card I received at the cinema (in spanish), but if the code is the same i'd rather keep the cards in thenplastic envelope (yes, I'm one of those people)

comparing to the one @andrewism uploaded, it's definitely the same

edit:
I've added the QR to our QR Gallery!

[SciresM]

Can confirm this QR is identical to the one I got last week.

I think this Pikachu may have similiar data to the Other:

OT: サトシ ID: 171117 US/UM Release date? Nature: Hardy  

Is there any new information related to this? Such as met level (I assume It 20)

It's locked to hardy.
Will upload PK7 soon.

HKTW QR code is out.

I made a PP version because I felt like it.

Is it possible to view its data? I mean: can we decode the binary data?

Yeah we can. Use PKHex Core Memecrypto.

Do you have a link to a tutorial? I am assuming we can take the QR code and import it into PKhex that way?
