I know it's literally only been 21 hours since the event went live so I'm not pushing for it to get done immediately but I just wanted to gently remind you that shiny roaming form Gimmighoul caught between July 4th and 6th 2026 are legal but still currently flagged in PKHeX.

I'm honestly not sure if it's just me or PKHeX itself but I can never seem to figure out how to get hidden abilities onto Pokemon hatched from eggs in Black 2/White2. I've checked the full details and it says everything is fine, but for some reason, it still flags it.

This thread is for legitimate things being flagged, not user troubleshooting for hacked mons. Please read the first post of the thread. 

Hidden abilities in generation 5-7 are subject to breeding restrictions needing the mother to have the hidden ability. If it is impossible to obtain a female Snivy-Serperior with the hidden ability outside of breeding, then there will never be the potential to have an egg inherit it from a parent that cannot legally exist.

These two random Poke Spot Aron that I caught about a year ago were flagged. Unmodified GameCube with a disc copy of XD.

Transferred them up via Pal Park, evolved Aggron in Japanese Platinum and then sent them to My Pokemon Ranch.

Minor issue. It seems that Pokémon generated in Platinum and later hatched in HGSS, as well as the opposite (generated in HGSS, then hatched in Platinum) give this legality error about Extended Ball value. It auto-legalizes when the warning is clicked on in the editor.

Level 6 is way too low for an alpha Wurmple. That's in the non-alpha range. Do you have some sort of cheat active?

Reports with cheats active may be unreliable since cheats may modify things you do not know about. You should only be reporting errors from an unmodified game. There is no record of an alpha Wurmple being obtainable at the level you provided.

yeah ok i understand, i will just find another wurmple, just in case, but im 90% sure that the 2 cheats i use don't mess with the pokemon generation address on ram memory

Hi there,

Have just noticed the following with my Ribbon Master Scizor. It seems that the Trainer ID is not obtainable from any RNG seed, however, I RNG manipulated this Scizor to shiny myself and had no legality issues prior to checking it today. I have attached the Sc/Vi Pkm file and was wondering if this could be looked into? There was no editing of the Pokemon at any point and was created through RNG manipulation on stock hardware and firmware from my Japanese copy of colosseum.


Paste from PKHex:

Valid Move 1: SV-Learned by Level-up. @ lv0

Valid Move 4: SV-Learned by TM/HM.
Valid Relearn Move 1: Empty Move.
Valid Relearn Move 2: Empty Move.
Valid Relearn Move 3: Empty Move.
Valid Relearn Move 4: Empty Move.

Valid: Nickname does not match another species name.
Valid: Current level is not below met level.
