PKHex Gender Error

[GorochuVA]

I'm trying to add a male Pikachu to my ROM of Black 2, but every time I load the game and check the PC for him, he's displayed as a female. I've rerolled his PID twice now, and both times the end hexadecimal is above 126, meaning he should be male, since Pikachu has a 50/50 gender split. I save the PKMN file and my game save file, but the game still decides to give me a female Pikachu. So I open PKHex back up and the PID is back to a bunch of zeros. What am I doing wrong? Why is the PID not saving?

Can you upload the PKM file?

I loaded it in my Black file and it did show up as Male. Changed it a bit to make it legal so maybe try this one at least.

Was a little concerned when I saw the egg bit bc I thought it would reset his level but it's fine tysm

I'm having this same issue. I wanted everyone but my Joltik to be female but no matter what I do everyone but Ducklett is male. What can I do to fix this? Can someone help me?

First you should update PKHeX, your version is outdated.

Did you set the Pokemon back to the slot after editing?

I did. Everyone but the Snivy was created from scratch. Everything I created is in place, except for the genders. It's weird.

 

I also tried updating my program, but I get a big error:

Yeah don’t create stuff from scratch. Load up your save in PKHeX, then use the templates in the encounter database.

Yeah nah the newer the game, the more you shouldn’t do that. I’m not saying you can’t, I’m saying you probably shouldn’t.

You might miss stuff that the legality for that encounter requires, yadda yadda, it’s a way to avoid issues.

Noted. But do we know of any way to fix the ones I made or do I just have to live with it?

I appreciate that thank you. Like I said everything else about all the Pokemon is right, I just wanted everyone except Joltik to be female.

You've got a few issues:
1. Some illegal due to incorrect encounter data
2. There's a slight PID and Gender relation. Meaning the PID you are using is the problem.

So how do I fix the PID?

The last byte of the PID is the issue. It has to be below the gender threshold.

Snivy has a male/female ratio of 7:1, so it has a gender threshold of 31. If the last byte is 31 or greater, Snivy should be male, else female. Now your Snivy's PID is 11FB33F3. Take the last byte (F3), converted from hex to decimal that's 243.
Everything from 0 to 30 would be fine. So if you take 30 (1E in hex), the valid PID for Snivy would be 11FB331E,

You can check this for more detailed info about gender PID relations https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Personality_value#Gender

Oh hey that worked on Snivy! Thank you!

So now what about the other 3? What number do I change the last two digits of each PID to since the rest have a 50/50 gender ratio?

[BlackShark]

Anything below 127 is valid for 50/50 ratio, like 7E.
