PKHeX new update legality errors (contribution page)

Hello! With the last update (20211001) I saw some fixes mainly on Generation 6 regarding "HT Feeling", no big deal, I think that may be correct,
 

However, I saw that some Vivillon Patterns became illegal, and since I wasn't sure exactly how the form work, I googled a bit, and according to my understanding, no matter the form of the scatterbug, even if you hatch it from whatever form, it will take automatically the form of your 3DS region? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Basically, I had to modify
Elegant -> JPN
Modern -> USA
Savanna -> USA (even without Brazil it works, any region is ok)
while the others are perfectly fine, at least using Poland and Europe (my Savegame)

They are all hatched by eggs, so to me it doesn't make sense that I had to change the location of 3 patterns while the others 17 are okay, despite the complete wrong location.
 

I don't know if you are aware of this, or if I didn't understand the mechanism, or if it's a work in progress... but I attach a screenshot anyway.

I remember i tried with other Countries of Europe and they were still legal even if the form was obtainable only in USA. But yeah those three I had to force the 3DS region change.
I don't think the language-bug is only for Poland, it may be messed up for other regions too so, in case it is wrong, I think the entire Vivillon thing must be re-written.

Screenshot below, I know that many times some reports are invalid due to user's fault/not knowledge but this time I think there is something kinda wrong and I googled a lot. If not a bug, I aplogize in advance (and maybe explain in details how this should work since Internet can be really misleading sometimes)

(Also, another reminder that I'm 100% sure you are aware of, and I mentioned some posts ago: Region Exclusive Events and stuff before Generation 6, can't have different Language Tag. Example: Korean Event in Generation 4, named in English. Must be Korean, otherwise Illegal). But yeah this is not top priority I think the Vivillon thing is more important).

 

Thank you!

This isn't the place to inquire why hacks are flagged on recent commits when they weren't flagged on prior commits. Online webpages are frequently outdated or incomplete.

My dragapult has apparently commuted HEINOUS crime of remembering Double Team before Bite Swapping those two moves make it legal again

Please do not report hacks being flagged as hacks.

Egg movepool building mechanics cannot result in the arrangement you have specified, and PKHeX's move-order legality checks that were added a few releases ago is working as intended telling you that things are out of order (and what it expects).

@Kaphotics

Ok I apologize, I thought it was correct rather than opening a separate topic/thread...basically we use this Thread to report bugs that are 100% confirmed, did I get this right?
And if we are in doubt about new features or stuff (Like in my case with Vivillon), we open a new topic, correct me if I'm wrong.

I will try to be more careful next time, for sure.

So, should I re-write the thing  in a new topic for a better in-depth explanation? Thanks and sorry for the mistake!

When importing the .wc8 wondercard of Shiny Zamazenta from projectpokemon.org in Pokemon Sword, I get a legality error for this Pokemon:

Any ideas, what I am doing wrong here?

Also in Brilliant Diamond - a Houndoom caught in the Underground has an "unexpected" Underground egg move (Beat Up). No changes made on my end though. I've attached this Houndoom as well.

For BDSP, having issues with the following:  Unsure what to do going forward?

Mod edit: This is something you created from scratch. This thread is not for asking why your hacks are being flagged as hacks.

[Cheddarmx]

Forms of Burmy and wormadam that aren't grass are tagged as illegal.
Feebas from Mt. Coronet is tagged as Illegal.
Wingull from Grand Underground lvl 29 tagged as Illegal.
All with the error: Invalid: Unable to match an encounter from origin game.

BDSP contest ribbons appear to not be legal in any capacity. Attaching one with all the contest ribbons on it for ease of use, but it shows up for each individual one as well.

Ribbons (Alert, Shock, Downcast, Careless, Relax, Snooze and Smile) given at Sunyshore City (those you can get 1 per day) are showing as not legal.

Following my last message, the same apply to the next ribbons (Gorgeous, Royal, and Gorgeous Royal (you know, the last one that you can buy for 999.999$)).

Mine is saying this on all my Poke's that have Sinnoh Champ ribbon.
I don't know if it's just me or already known so I wasn't going to bother with it but I will attach it to your post here just in case.

This Togepi is said to be illegal, but it was 100% generated normally. It hatched from the egg obtained past Five Island in Fire Red version given to the player by the old man at the end of the Water Labyrinth. I'm using the latest version of PKHex (20211127) and the error says "Encounter type PID mismatch". I have not edited this pokemon or my game save at all, I just got the egg, it hatched, and its friendship value has increased naturally due to travel, but for some reason it's flagged as illegal.

It has an invalid PIDIV; you can't get Method 4 PIDIVs on static encounters on retail hardware -- emulation is imperfect for vblank interrupts, hence emulated sessions producing invalid spreads.

1. Not my file but this shiny mesprit was caught 100% legit but it shows as illegal because of a PID mismatch error thing.

2. This kangaskan shows as legal but it is not. A kangaskan can only be caught in the safari zone in BDSP but this one is caught with a pokeball.

Both legal on latest dev build.

Logic is getting short circuited for Kangaskhan, should be showing it as illegal. Will fix later (VerifyBallEgg).

I caught Mesprit legitimately and when I try to make it shiny it keeps giving me the "Invalid: Encounter Type PID mismatch".

Working as intended. pretty much all Pokemon in BDSP have PIDIV correlations. So you made a bad hack, and PKHeX flags it. Read other threads in our forums relating to this. This thread isn't for troubleshooting bad hacks.

Mantyke caught with met location Pokemon League showing as illegal. No modifications, I exported my save file and saw this error. I caught it fully stock. Odd because not even Serebii says this is a valid met location.

Where in Pokémon League did you find it. Before the waterfall? After the waterfall?

Most likely before the waterfall, as I assume it's a spawn delay from Route 223. Same thing happened with wild area strong encounters.

Wild area stuff can roam to the edge, which can bleed over if the player is on the edge. Whether it can bleed over depends on whether Mantyke is model or wild spawn. I’ll check later :3

edit: This specific case has been replicated, It would be in the dev build until ready for stable release.
