All good. Following the above instructions, I replaced the ID with zeroes, deleted the card's flag and bada bing, bada boom. Worked a-okay. No need for removing Trainer IDs or anything.

 

So that's good, thanks everyone. Guess I'll be able to do this for all the Hatchu~

If you start a new game, your Sync ID is automatically full of 'Zeros'
so you need only change the G7ID and generade the SID/TID

Are you sure for the server-side verification ?
I started a new game last week, i backuped my save just before entering the PIKACHU20 code ... And i can restore the save without problem to claim a new Pikachu. ( Currently having 3 original and 3 hoenn ).

Maybe a region difference ?

I'm pretty sure its because you just started the game and tried to get the event instead of going online at least once. That's probably why

So with the Pikachu event over, is there any way to get them all?

Legitimately? Trade!

Or just hack in the Pikachus

[LordBlade]

How do I hack the Pikachus to get each of the hats? I can easily clone one, but how do I change them so that they have the different hats?

just drag in the wondercards into the left tab, then inject into box.

[LordBlade]

Oh, so I just do it by wondercard? Is there any trick to it? Or will it just let me toss them all in?

[LordBlade]

Oh, also, is there anything special I need to know about the wondercard stuff? I've not touched that before. Is it simply picking one and putting it in? And how do I know which ones to use?

Our Event Gallery has a bunch of wondercards.

Whatever Pokemon you generate using the left side of PKHeX,
Make sure you match it's region details to the contribution details posted.

Take this file for example:

So mainly:
1. Nickname and language of Pokemon. default means default nickname, and save lang means it follows the language of the redeeming save file.
Of course, it could be redeemed on a Japanese game (so it'll have japanese name) then traded to English game.
2. If it cannot be shiny, do not make it shiny.
3. Region details must match
4. Receiving game must match. Above example can only be received by SM, so I chose Sun.

[LordBlade]

So I find the wondercard in the list and download it, then import it?

Or am I just making new Pokemon and matching their details to what's listed?

And there's nothing stopping me getting all the different Pikachu at once then?

[theSLAYER]

@LordBlade When you drag the wondercard to the left of PkHeX, it makes all the details for you.

all you need to do is change the details I've shown.

 

no, nothing is stopping you. Because these Pokemon can be traded or banked. So you can get more than one of the Pokemon in your game.

you may be limited by wonder card (in mystery gift area), but you can get them traded over.

[LordBlade]

Okay, so I tried it as you said, however it kept giving me an error for invalid moves.

Are you using the latest update to PKHeX, and what moves you trying to put on what Pokemon?

[LordBlade]

I've gotten the latest version, and I've got the Pokemon now. Not by "making" them, but simply by resetting the Wonder Cards, so I basically got to get them all as gifts.

okay, for any legality errors (if it's indeed an error),
start a new thread at PKHeX for the bug, and upload the files for us to see.
