MechanicalBooty Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hey guys, recently I tried my hand at hacking an old 2DS to get some pokemon I had either lost or missed and then to transfer them to home and then Sword/Shield. They seemed fine in Pokemon Home but when I got them into Sword they appeared as Question Marks in my PC. I was wondering if I had someone stuffed it up or something? Thanks!

MechanicalBooty Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 Should have been more clear but I’ve got a picture this time, it wasn’t a question mark like I thought. For example this Zekrom is fine in every way but it appears as this pokeball symbol in the pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechanicalBooty Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 I don’t have a picture at the moment but I can tell you what I’ve done. I just went through and picked what pokemon I want and then set a level. I’m guessing there’s a bit more to it than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably a pk8 file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechanicalBooty Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 I’m not sure sorry, I’m just using whatever’s on the program, whatever’s on the DS homebrew thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSLAYER Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Guh. Given you cannot provide any real info,I don't have any real responses to provide too, besides "there's provide something wrong with your Zekrom, or your injection method (or both). Stop hacking mons in." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prejie Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 What program did you use? How exactly did you hack it in? And what game is that Zekrom from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechanicalBooty Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 I used PKSM on my hacked 2DS, got it on Moon and then transferred from bank to home, then to sword. I’m new to this so I’m not sure if I need to change stats, moves or anything for the pokemon being hacked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechanicalBooty Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 I Turned on my 2DS, put in Moon, opened the PKSM app on my main menu, selected moon. Then I went into the pc box from the app, clicked an empty space, selected Zekrom and set it’s level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiffanyDarlet Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 i think you did created a pokemon file from PKSM xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSLAYER Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I don't use PKSM, but that does sound like you created it from scratch. So you're the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechanicalBooty Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 So you can’t use PKSM to make legal pokemon? Does it need to be through PKHEX and then put on the save directly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you even know what makes a Pokemon "legal"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechanicalBooty Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Not particularly, I assume you can’t just make a pokemon and spawn it in or whatever. Probably got to do with OT, first met and stuff like that? Sorry, very new at this stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prejie Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Pokémon made from PKSM have a high chance of being illegal especially if you're a beginner (more so if done from scratch). That software is mostly used for quick edits and not creating a new Pokémon from scratch I suggest you get rid of that hopeless Zekrom and create a new one. Try to use PKHeX and use its encounter database so you have a base Pokémon and just edit it to your liking. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSLAYER Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Basically, what a "legal" mon means is that all the data it has matches existing encounters. I would think your Zekrom is completely illegal. So yeah, for starters, learn how to dump your save. Then load that dumped save into PKHeX. Then grab a Zekrom from the encounter database. Then export that edited save from PKHex. Then restore that save into your game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
