Editing sizes of Pokemon with HOME Trackers

[gamecubefan74]

If someone edits the size of a Pokemon with a HOME Tracker, will it be flagged as illegal by HOME? What about editing sizes of Pokemon without HOME Trackers, like in SwSh, PLA and SV? Will that be detected by HOME once it reaches HOME?

If it has not yet visited HOME, then HOME won't know what it originally was. If the size is correlated to other values (pretty much everything in PLA is) then it's detectable (not that HOME currently is smart enough to check as of this post).

I take the opportunity to ask a related question.

The "old rule", by which we used to "wipe out" the HOME Tracker ID if we changed something and/or imported a mon with an ID already, is still valid today (with newer HOME versions)?

OBV importing the modified mon in the origin game

(LGPE > LGPE;

SWSH, Bank, GO > SWSH;

PLA > PLA;

BDSP > BDSP;

SV > SV).

Yes, if you intend to modify anything you should wipe the tracker, then deposit into HOME from the origin game. Just make sure you're not changing it to anything that breaks the Gen8/Gen9 correlations.

Do note that if someone decides to review the data with a fine tooth comb, they may notice oddities (like let's say they noticed PID EC is the same as something else in the logs, but oddly IVs are differently, or something), but realistically how likely would that be tho?
