PKHeX new update legality errors (contribution page)

[TFSthegreat]

In Gen 8, the Tower Master Ribbon currently isn't treated as illegal on Deoxys, Manaphy, Phione, Darkrai, Shaymin, or Arceus. The ribbon cannot be legitimately obtained on these Pokemon - they are absent from SWSH and not permitted in BDSP's Battle Tower - and as such should be flagged as illegal.

I hope this is the right place to post this, this was an event Pokemon from a few days ago, why isn't it legal?

When was the program last updated?

[Bra1xen]

I think it was the end of June, so yeah now it makes sense why it wasn't legal, my bad

[lxy4251326]

I don’t know why？

The old version of PKHEX can open this save.

but the Latest version of PKEX have a question？

On version 20220831 Tools > Data > PKMN Database, evn though when it loads initially I can see my count and database mons. However, when I click the General or Advanced search it always comes up 'No results found'. I didn't have this issue before updating. Just me?

I have an Umbreon I obtained as my starter in pokemon XD, I'm planning to make a ribbon Master of it. I restarted multiple times until I got ones with a good nature and acceptable stats but I notice that PKHEX has been flagging it as illegal. If I turn it back into an eevee (and give is appropriate moves) using PKHEX it is suddenly legal again. I'm using Version 20220831. The specific error I'm getting is "Invalid: Unable to match encounter conditions to a possible RNG frame."

Shiny Scyther, Teddiursa/Ursaring, and Stantler obtained via the Cute Charm glitch in Gen IV are flagged as illegal after evolving into Kleavor, Ursaluna, and Wydeer, respectively. They are not flagged in their base forms.

Works fine on latest commits.

Version 20220913 is unstable. Trying to load suggested level of Pokemon in Gen I games freeze and trying to load suggested moves throws an exception. I tried it with Bulbasaur.

Hello, with the last update I see a lot of legality errors on Pokémon ORAS. Moves such as :

Guard Split
Hammer Arm
Reflect Type

and others, can be taught at lesser level and not being flagged as illegal (example, Hammer Arm on LV70 Groudon coming from OR)
The problem is I noticed this with a simple legality checker from visual studio, with the public build of PKHeX they are always legal, no matter the level.

I don't know exactly what is the cause but well to be short the visual studio personal build matches perfectly with Bulbapedia (Latias cannot learn Guard Split before L46 in ORAS), while PKHeX public build ignores these level up requirements and says Latias L30 with Guard Split or Reflect Type is perfectly legal, or Groudon at L70 can learn Hammer Arm.
I don't know if thats related, but the ctrl+click tooltip says "legal" everytime based on XY (learned at L1 and similar), shouldn't it calculate the legality with ORAS requirements, since Im playing ORAS game, and the PKM is generated in ORAS?
I don't know exactly whats the logic and why the same library gives two different results, but I thought this was something kinda important to report. Please correct me if Im wrong at any point.

Found this on ORAS Registeel, Regirock, Latias, Groudon, Kyogre, and other Legendaries. All the moves have a level up requirement different than XY, higher usually, by checking on Bulbapedia.

I attach the Legality from PKHeX of L30 Latias (its flagged illegal with the custom build, invalid move 1 and 4)


I hope to have been helpful somehow, thanks for your work!

The latest commits on GitHub have already fixed the issue you're describing. That's why the development build properly flags it.

Hey, I'm new here so sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this.

When I put my save into PKHex and I go to check legality status, I get an error saying "ability does not match ability number" on both Bulbasaur and Pidgey. I'm on PKHex version 20220913.

Hello,

 

Looks like the Litwick line is being flagged as illegal for Pokemon Go files due to it being previously shiny-locked previous to the 10/15 community event. happy to include screenshots if needed

The program doesn't magically know the future availability of GO encounters.

The program was last updated in September, thus only can have info for encounters up to when it was released.

sorry, didn't mean anything ill-willed. thought this was a thread for legality that needed updated, plus a call-out in case anyone else had the same issue.

Hi, this Staryu and Krabby I caught in Union Cave B2F in Crystal with the Super Rod are being flagged as "Unable to match encounter from origin game", as well as "fateful encounter", for some reason? Using version 20220913.

Getting Hidden Ability mismatch for Encounter Type on gift Pokemon, such as the beginning starter and the Galar Meowth / Perrserker. Ability Patches are obtainable in-game, so in theory all Hidden Abilities should be legal, I think?

Getting the same error here, except is for wild Pokémon.

 

Error Msg: Invalid: Hidden Ability mismatch for encounter type.

Game status: Main story complete, haven't started with the postgame yet.

Changes: I used a Smogon set I found at their forums, but only changed the Tera Type, nature (Careful), IVs (6IVs) and EVs (look at screenshot), everything else such as the moves and the Hidden Ability were done in-game via TMs and the Ability Patch respectively.

actually, there's a bunch of TM moves showing up as illegal right now, such as Liquidation, Iron Head, Drain Punch, etc.

Attaching all the TM illegals I have in my current box:

EDIT: Turns out that checking the box in Technical Records does the trick. Kind of wish that the error was more descriptive about it though

I have the same problem as two posters above with Yungoos caught in Inlet Grotto showing up as unable to match encounter from origin game. My game version is Violet. Changing it to level 3 legalizes it, so it might be a problem with level 2 spawns.

Paldea Tauros with an Intense Mark caught in "East Province (Area One) (1)" and Rolycoly with an Uncommon Mark caught in East Province (Area Three) showing up as invalid marks. It seems like Rolycoly might be getting indexed to East Province (Area Two) which doesn't look like a correct spawn location according to Serebii.
