WraithTDK Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I opened my save in Pokehex; as I've done numerous times, and suddenly it's flagging my Pikachu as illegal. It says invalid: Unable to match encounter from origin game. This particular mon was caught in this save legit, and hasn't been touched in anyway. Why would that particular one be illegal?

Like I said, I haven't touched this one, so I can't imagine why it'd suddenly be flagged... 025 - PIKACHU - 5231.pk1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think PKHeX is partially confusing it for Yellow's starter Pikachu. My Lv 3 Pikachu is legal (caught in RB), but at LV 5 it becomes recognized as Yellow starter, even though the catch rate is wrong, and is flagged illegal. Clearing catch rate shows legal. So you could just leave it, it'll probably get fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing through the games in order, so I'm a long way away from having to worry about uploading it to the bank; and even then I'll probably just leave this one and bring forward the Pikachu from Yellow. Haven't completely figured out what I'm going to do as far as my livingdex yet. Hopefully it will get fixed in a future update. I've got plenty of time. Thanks!

theSLAYER Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 well it's not like the mon carries a legality flag, so there's no reason why you wouldn't upload it to bank... (As a matter of fact, sending this into Bank/future formats will probably get that to appear legal in PKHeX) Anyhow, no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
