Butterfree from VC with Reflect + Psywave flagged as invalid

[Ledcads]

Hello everyone,

 

Well, the title is quite self-explanatory. I brought a butterfree from Blue VC to current gen, then used pkhex for it to have reflect and psywave. Although I didn't actually taught the TMs in the VC, both serebii and bulbapedia lists these moves as possible. This is the only VC pokémon I have flagged as invalid due to TMs from gen I. PK7 file attached.

 

Thank you in advance.

You transferred it at level 5. It could never have been Butterfree when it was on the VC, thus it could never learn those moves.

(pkhex 2 gud)

Probably I transferred a caterpie then, I don't really remember. Met levels should be when transferred then, even if I caught a caterpie at lvl 5, right? It's legal now, thank you so much, sorry for the dumbness =p

Met Level on Gen 1 and 2 isn't retained.

Met Level on PK7s are based on the level you transferred it from VC.

Hence, as long as it's Met level on PK7 isn't at a level that it has learnt those moves,
it would be flagged as illegal, as that implies that you transferred it before it learnt those moves.

For example, Met Lv 5 for a Butterfree implies that you transferred a Lv.5 Caterpie and evolved it on SMUSUM
