Jarod09942 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I am playing the Pearl ROM on my switch and I want to transfer over geodude and meditite that I caught to SWSH. Attached is my SAV file with Palkia, meditite and geodude. It keeps saying "incorrectly transferred from previous generation" when I put them on my sword main or try and change a nature or anything on Palkia. I am not sure what the issue is. Please help, Thanks. 1016 - Pokemon - Pearl Version (USA) (Rev 5).nds.sav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaphotics Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 You don't need to transfer with official methods; PKHeX changes all the required data for you. Not all species exist in SWSH -- Geodude/Meditite don't exist, therefore can't be transferred in. Gen4 Pokémon have a PID-IV correlation, and Nature is derived from PID. Change the nature, and you break the correlation, therefore illegal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamosIT Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) The only Pokémon you can transfer is Palkia because is the only one that exists in SwSh (here you have a complete list of unobtainable mons). As @Kaphotics said, you can't change Palkia's Nature without recalculate PID. The easiest way to change Nature is using a Mint directly in SwSh. Finally, if you want a perfectly legal Pokémon, you should temporarily upload it to Pokémon HOME in order to get a HOME Tracker ID.
