shiny legendaries for pokemon scarlet

[Raet]

Hi, I've been creating legendaries for my scarlet game. I have made them with templates and I have managed to pass them to the game but it turns out that when I pass them to pokemon home and return them to pokemon scarlet now they have the symbol that they have been captured in pokemon arceus. why?

You likely injected your mons (presumably their templates show them as caught from other games, you did not mention that) into PLA.

 

The way HOME works, is that any legitimate Pokémon sent you from Bank effectively goes into “SWSH data” first (HOME has many subcategories). So any Pokémon from the previous games need to go into “SWSH data slot” from SWSH first. If their game of origin isn’t PLA, you cannot enter from PLA first, that is just how HOME works.

The fix would be to transfer them from Bank properly, or have them enter HOME from SWSH. Note that you can only send from SWSH if their species exist in SWSH.
