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.
