Is height/weight/scale related to the PID or Encryption Constant?

1. Is height/weight/scale related to the Pokemon's PID or Encryption Constant?

2. Can a Pokemon that doesn't have a set scale have any combination of height/weight/scale?

1. Depends on context, if caught wild or via raids on the Switch, then likely true. Do note that putting a Mon through HOME can mess with values like scale or height, but depending on context you’ll be able to see the relation

2. For example, for clones transferred into HOME from Bank, they get set height/weight (and height’s value gets duplicated into scale) via randomness that has a triangular distribution. So in this instance yes, height and weight can have combination (scale would be a duplicate of height). But keep in mind how likely it would be.

Thanks. To be specific, I'm looking to hunt a max size Calyrex (Crown Tundra in Sword). Can Shiny Zacian (Wondercard Event) be max size? Would PID and/or Encryption Constant be related to either of those for height/weight/scale?

I’m unsure if stationary encounters like Calyrex have their height/weight fixed.

I’m unsure about wonder cards 

 

Based on absolutely nothing, I think you can try to catch/redeem in-game a few and see if it’s fixed. If not, it’s likely random via triangular distribution
