PKHeX Egg Move Question (Gen 3)

[CrunchySceptile69]

Hello.

I'm currently running Emerald on my physical GBA but have transferred a copy of my save to my PC for backup. I'm trying to give my starter Sceptile the move Crunch (which is an egg move) but PKHeX throws up an error when I do this. How do I fix it? I'm very new when it comes to editing my save data so be nice!

Your starter Sceptile (Treecko) did not originate from an egg, therefore it cannot have egg moves.

The entity has to originate from an egg to have egg-only moves.

Use the encounter database if you want legal data.

And it isn't possible to change my Sceptile (Treecko's) encounter type at all?

Again, if you want to have egg moves, then it must originate from an egg. The program is telling you that its details does not match what it expects. Eggs in Gen3 have a met level of 0, and do not have a Method 1/2/4 PIDIV correlation, hence the two messages in the output.

Using the encounter database to grab a fresh egg will give you a legal result immediately.
