Issue with Donut Editor in PKHex

[jjbinkers]

Hi, I just started to use the donut editor in PKHex and creating my own donuts seemed to work well and appear fine in-game and work as intended. However, upon using one with Sparkling Power: (any Type lvl 3) in a Hyperspace, saving in that Hyperspace and "restarting" the game with the current donut active, it changes to Sparkling Power: Normal lvl 3. I made sure to make the "possible" ingredients as well, just not sure why it reverts to Normal upon rebooting the game. I did use Normal Power as a basis for my first batch of donuts but I don't see how that would revert it to that type. (Unless the "#" of the donut has something to do with it) And it's only the Sparkling Power, catching power and Alpha Power remains in tact. I didn't see any report of this and wondering if anyone else has run into this issue.

Interesting; I wonder if it’s a game mechanic where only certain calories or type of donut that allows for all types (provided PKHeX is working correctly)

 As a follow-up, I've hacked a donut to be this, and it stayed as such in-game.

Very strange, I'll try to see if it happens off making a brand new donut. I think the issue was an original donut being Normal Power 3 and editing it into another type, I'll try to recreate my process to see if that was the case. Thanks for looking into it!

I have run into this issue too where I imported a sparkling all type 3 donut and after restarting it would change to my attack boost donut. 
 

Coincidentally it is my first donut in my inventory so idk if that has to do with anything.
