PKHeX new update legality errors (contribution page)

[Booster137]

Here's a fun one, this Togetic is the gift Togepi Egg from Resort Gorgeous, but I traded it from my FireRed to my Emerald before it hatched to get that friendship boost from hatched Pokémon. I'm not sure what's causing it to be flagged as invalid.

Hey, think I've found a bug with the new build of PKHeX. Some of my Pokémon are showing up as illegal in the boxes yet are perfectly legal on the left-hand side. They were caught a few hours ago on Pokémon Sun, very clean. Last major update (back in November) did not have this issue. 

The only edit made to the save between beginning of the game to current is the 3DS's location data. I don't know if that's causing the issues but worth mentioning if it helps you find the bug.

Thank you for all the hard work you do on PKHeX.

Hacked raid? Shouldn't be shiny.

Well, it's not legitimate, it's illegal. The program is working as intended.

This thread is for reporting unmodified-game Pokemon; having any cheat codes active or modifying something to be shiny is not legitimate.

Thank you ever so much, my save too was showing illegal Pokémon due to the new PP verifier. All is now fixed.

Hi, I would like to report some issues as I was trying latest dev build:
- The new "naming screen->TID/SID frame pattern" check is working as expected but is not verifying your Eevee starter. It's shown legal even with an impossible TID/SID combo.

- It may be caused by these changes or something else, but drag & dropping Colo/XD files into the app makes "Met Location" show places from R/S/E/FRLG. When you hover over any pkm, the tooltip shows the right one. Legality window too. Restarting the program and opening the save from File>Open fixes it.

Hello,

I'm reporting an issue regarding the 3 Alpha Pokémon found in each of the Lake Guardians' caves (story-related): Hisuian Goodra, Hisuian Zoroark and Overqwil.

Having multiple save files, I noticed that upon capture, the legality check is fine.
However, after transferring them back and forth through Pokémon Home, they appear as illegal.

After comparing, I realized that the base height, weight, and scale are set to 127 right after capture.
But after the transfer with Pokémon Home, they change to 255, and the Alpha mark appears.
PkHex is unable to match the encounter due to the weight change and the addition of the Alpha mark and flag.

Since their capture, these Pokémon have been placed in storage and have not been altered in any way, aside from the transfer to Home.
The test was just redone with all 3 clean Pokémon.

Hopefully this isn't a duplicate if the issue has already been reported.
