I don't have Sw/Sh and am not able to extract the save file for my LA game (or any Switch game for that matter), so I was looking to see if it was possible to inject a legal Gen 8 Pokemon (say, a Cinderace from Sw or a H.Decidueye from Arceus) into a Gen 7 game and then send it up into Home via Bank to bypass needing a working Home tracker ID? It's obvious the game wouldn't recognise the mon, so I'm wondering if the system would change the values on the files to make it conform to a Gen 7 mon one, thereby corrupting it, or if the data is stored as-is and Home would recognise it's a Gen 8 mon once it's been sent up by Bank.

It was possible in the early Home days, now they have better checks for the transfer process. No one was able to do it after few months.

Now they also handle game-specific data differently than early days, it's very unlikely you can fake a transfer from earlier gens.
