Question about moving pokemon to another game

[Not_An_Humin]

If I was to play an emulated version of a switch game, back up the save, then take the save data of the other version which is on official hardware, open two instances of pkhex and drag the Pokémon across to the other version (e.g. Sword to Shield or Scarlet to Violet). would that flag as legal?

I'm not really sure if that makes sense, but hopefully you can understand what I mean, and thanks in advance for the help

If you move between the two versions of a game then there shouldn't be any issues. As far as the game is concerned you did a trade. It is only when move Pokemon that would require Home is when you would have issues.
