Would love to transfer Magearna to Pokemon sword but...

[pandamaxxie]

Can anyone please give me a hand here, I played Pokemon Moon on an emulator, got Magearna, lost my save file when transferring files to a new pc when the old one gave up on working. I realised the only way to get Magearna in sword is by transferring it over... I found a save file with Magearna in it, but as the emulator cannot connect to the servers, I have no way to transfer Magearna over... Anyone got any ideas on how to deal with this?

If you're playing Sword in your actual console, use a Sysbot server.

If you're playing Sword on emulator use PKHeX to open the save file and place the Magearna in the inside.

I looked into the sysbot thing, it seems I would have to hack the switch, which I would prefer to not do, any other options? I've heard about some pokemon bank thing, but I don't know how that works.

You don't need an Hacked switch to use someone else Sysbot. 

You just have to find a discord server that hosts a Sysbot, send the pk8 file you want and the bot will trade that Pokemon directly to your game. 

Pokemon bank is for 3DS, not Switch. 

If you mean Pokemon Home, you can get an Original Color Magearna by completing a national Pokedex in there.

thank you! I found a server that processed the trade very swiftly! Greatly appreciate the help!
