Thanks for the great summary and testing. I have been making a lot of Milcery rank curry, but am not that organized in recording my numbers. I'll try to get better about that with my next round. I didn't realize that Pokemon's levels might have an effect ... that's an interesting initial result. I'll be using a team of level 100 max friendship Pokemon from now on. I pulled the numbers out of the initial YouTube video by だま / Dama that I found. Dama’s results below are [the number of Pokemon attracted] / [the total number of curries made at that rank]. Of course, we don’t have all the details (i.e., the level of his Pokemon, their friendship level), so take this with a grain of salt. But it looks like he did a lot of tests. Koffing: 2/170 Wobuffet: 8/170 Milcery: 1056/7063 (14%) Copperajah: 23/300 (8%) Charizard: didn’t test (the video notes it’s too difficult :)) ### If you are interested in Curry Mark Shiny hunt testing, here are some tips that might help: Obtainable Pokemon by route/area: Dama shared this list on on his Twitter, which is the only list like this that I've seen so far (https://twitter.com/monst_dama/status/1236942855538487296?s=21). I have not verified the accuracy of this list, however, from my tests on Route 1, Route 4, Route 10 (Near station), and Glimwood Tangle, it seems accurate so far. Pick a Pokemon you'd like to hunt for but keep in mind theSLAYER's theory about Curry Mark encounter rates being the reverse of that route's normal encounter rates. Easy Milcery curry: (note that theSLAYER's initial tests indicate higher ranks of curry bring better encounters) You don’t even need to touch the controller to get Milcery rank:2,200 ingredient (Smoke-Poke Tail, Large Leek, Fancy Apple, Boiled Egg, Fruit Bunch, Moomoo Cheese) + 10 berries from Wedgehust Berry Grocer. If you’re willing to button-mash (or use a Pro controller): 400 ingredient + 10 berries Stating the obvious: This is sort of stating the obvious, but it’s something I didn’t consider at first. For the Pokemon in your camp, pick small Pokemon that are easy to see around. For example, I had a Coalossal on my team during my initial testing and while Coalossal is a favorite of mine, he kept obscuring the screen and telling him to go play and move took extra time for checking if there was a Curry Mark Pokemon behind him. Pokemon with low profiles (Eevee, Yamper, Pikachu, etc.) or that are easy to see around are your best bet for quick check. If a Curry Mark Pokemon appears, you shouldn't have to adjust your game's camera to see it. You don't have to look alllll the way to the left of your camp and all the way to the right of your camp or up or down to see the Pokemon. Keep in mind if you have large Pokemon in your camp, they might be obscuring the Curry Mark Pokemon. If you attract a Pokemon to your camp, be very careful about avoiding the B button. When a Pokemon comes to your camp, the dialogue “Oh…? <This Pokemon> has come to your camp. <Pokemon> seems to want to be with you. Do you want to add it to your team?” If you hit B, that will select “No” and the Pokemon will go back into the wild. There’s no confirmation screen or “are you sure” sort of dialogue if you say no. Once the Curry Mark Pokemon is gone, it’s gone. ### For the point "It appears that encounter rates for curry encounters are reversed.": Including my Curry Mark encounters and the encounter rate from Bulbapedia below. From my Route 4 testing (shared this in Discord yesterday -- nothing new): 8 Ferroseed (1%) 3 Joltik (10%) 3 Milcery (20%) 2 Budew (4%) 1 Wooloo (25%) From my Route 10 (near station) testing: 12 Darumaka (5%) 10 Snom (10%) 8 Klang (30%) 5 Rhydon (25%) 5 Vanillish (30%) Crazy question: Could having Curry Mark Pokemon hanging out in your camp maybe increase the odds? I don't think so because I haven't heard anything about the other Marks having other effects outside of adding a title to the Pokemon's name, but if I have the time (haha) to max out the friendship on a team of Curry Mark mons, I might try this too. Other Shiny “proof” clips: I can’t vouch if these were hacked or using CFW, but they show what a shiny Pokemon looks like in Camp. Similar to the Dama video that's already linked to. https://mobile.twitter.com/suibotu6kai/status/1257637025936596993 https://mobile.twitter.com/ntIV0zU0ROsGkJ2/status/1257846914860515330 https://mobile.twitter.com/Ludicolo_comic/status/1307684485262049283

This post is a compilation of some info found, including some stuff I found. Most of them will be anecdotal evidence, since it's not from digging through the game's code. The information here will be changed as there's any new discoveries. This is the TL;DR version, more details below the page break: - Curry encounters can go into Poké Ball, Great Ball or Ultra Ball. - Curry encounters draw from the "Wild Encounters Grass" (not overworld) pool. - It only works in caves along routes, or routes. - It appears that encounter rates for curry encounters are reversed. - It is believed that you need a full party of max friendship to yield the highest encounter chance. - It is believed that Shiny charm doesn’t affect odds of getting a Shiny Curry encounter - Curry encounters may potentially be able to be shiny - The berries you use may matter (not just curry rank) - Level of your team matters ? -> It is believed Milcery rank curry gives the best odds of an encounter So general curry steps/instructions: - Use one of the 2,200 ingredients: Smoke-Poke Tail, Large Leek, Fancy Apple, Boiled Egg, Fruit Bunch, Moomoo Cheese - Use 10x berries (try to use the best berries you have; they may matter.) - Use a full team of tiny Pokémon (I recommend Joltik), at max friendship, and at max level. - You can use whatever website to check for that route, what mon exists in the Grass pool (not overworld pool). Do note the encounter rate seems reversed. - Only make curries on mainland Galar, anywhere along routes (inc. caves). No wild areas. - Do not do co-op camping. - Don't press "no" nor the B button when a mon asks to join. There is no confirmation screen for rejecting them; it'll leave then and there and never come back.| More specific info: - Curry encounters can go into Poké Ball, Great Ball or Ultra Ball. (source) (will attach image soon) If your bag does not have Poké, it'll default to Great. If your bag does not have Poké & Great, it'll default to Ultra. If your bag does not have Poké & Great and Ultra, it'll default back to Poké. - Curry encounters draw from the "Wild Encounters Grass" (not overworld) pool. (source) Most clear example would be Galar Mine No.1 The encounters there draw from the overworld pool, making me question why is there a grass pool listed on Serebii (which if I'm not mistaken, the data comes being mined from the final games), and then I tested which pool curry encounters are pulling from. - It only works in caves along routes, or routes. So doesn't work in cities or wild areas (including Isle of Armor). - It appears that encounter rates for curry encounters are reversed. For example, 1% encounters become 99%, etc. For example, I got a lot more Ferroseed, and a lot more Antique Sinistea, than everything else. - No spawns from co-op camping - It is believed that you need a full party of max friendship to yield the highest encounter chance. (source) My tests below, while mini, does seem to align with this. ? -> It is believed Milcery rank curry gives the best odds of an encounter (source) Based on the test below, I doubt this is true. While Dama has a larger sample size, which I would in general think that is a better result, we do not know whether the party members were consistent in all tests. Dama may have used different berries throughout too. - It is believed that Shiny charm doesn’t affect odds of getting a Shiny Curry encounter (source) While this probably can only be properly verified by digging into the game code, it seems plausible; Shiny charm only works for wild encounters and eggs, not raids and gifts (looking for the old source). With that, curry encounters could swing either way.. - Curry encounters may potentially be able to be shiny (source) While some may argue the video is clear cut evidence of it (being able to be shiny), I'll like to point out that the code to make all mons shiny (commonly used on Edizon) can make Curry encounters shiny. Not saying the video is faked, but I'm saying it's inconclusive evidence, that can be argued either way by bull-headed individuals. What I'll say, is there is a chance of the devs intending this encounter to be shiny, given that it plays a shiny animation when you talk to it. No other interaction with shiny mons you own in the camp brings forth that animation. Why program in the animation, if it's unintended? (of course, they could disable it at the end of the day, but it is something regardless ;x) - The berries you use may matter (not just curry rank) It's the reason why I used Starf Berries for my test. Using other berries seem to not give me as many encounters. Probably based on rarity as seen here: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Curry#Ingredients - Level of your team matters Check post below. ? -> Higher rank curry increases chance of encounter Check post below. Keep in mind of Dama's results too.

Join my team! I'm a pro player since Day 1 and now at stage 359. We're looking for more players to feed Snorlax and possibly future team event mons. The code is XT223C6RBVGF for those who are in mobile (so you can copy it). Thanks and please consider joining Shine Team!

to be honest if i may say something. if your gonna play the gba pokemon games on 3ds, i get a emulator instead of making the cia files. it could help avoid any save corruptions that would happen later on

I have no idea what will happen after another E4 run. It could fix the Hall of Fame. Maybe keep a backup and try it. I noticed that the block ID of block A and B were wrong and block A contained data that doesn't belong there. Normally block A would store your Pokemon from box 5 but that wasn't Pokemon data. It looked like partial HoF data, but moving it to the proper offset wouldn't restore HoF though. So I just removed the faulty data and restored the block ID and the save loaded again.

Fixed it emerald.sav Your Hall of Fame is still corrupted though. Simply because the data was never written anywhere. I have no idea if this has any impacts on the game besides not being able to see which Pokemon participated. It could probably be fixed by getting the data from another save file. The corruption occured because 64KB save files end at offset 0xFFFF but Hall of Fame data would be written to 0x1C000. You really should stop using that CIA and look for a way to properly inject the GBA so that it creates full 128KB save files.

You can try posting the save here. Maybe some kind soul is able to see what went wrong with the save and attempt to fix it. @theSLAYER Are you willing to check this out if op posts their save.

I've done a small study, posted it above.

This is a legit Norway Mew for GEN 1 Pokemon games, distributed by Club Nintendo. TID: 10595 OT: NORWAY The Club Nintendo Mew distribution ran in Norway from October 15th 2000, to November 20th 2000 and required you to be a Club Nintendo member to receive a Mew. Club Nintendo members could post their game cartridge to Club Nintendo, Nedre Rommen 5, 0988 OSLO. Once the cartridge was received by Nintendo a Mew would be distributed to it, before the game cartridge was posted back. This Mew was obtained by Digiex Member Golden Toilette back when he was 9 years old. So do send a big thanks his way for preserving this Mew 19 years later. Magazine Scans and Translation: Download: Club Nintendo Norway Mew.zip Included is the original save, the extracted Level 100 Norway Mew and also the Mew reverted to Level 5. All credit to Golden Toilette for this release, he sent everything my way on Digiex so I could write up and share it for everyone to enjoy.

This post is for my mini-test results. Upfront, I'll say that 50 encounters on each rank isn't a statistically large enough sample size, but each test took around 2 1/2 hours (and that was on 2 Switches mind you), and I don't wanna sink anymore time into this. So if anyone want to try, be my guest. :3 For these tests, I'm testing purely Milcery and Copperajah ranks. For Milcery Rank, 10x Starf berries and leaving the Switch alone is enough. (1st Switch) For Copperajah rank, performing the curry making actions were enough. (2nd Switch) While the values do not seem statistically significant from each other... If we assume that the values were not statistical blips, then looking at the trends, it appears that max friendship and level of party members both have an effect on the chance of curry encounters. Adding on to that, it also appears Copperajah rank has a higher chance of encountering compared to Milcery Rank. Once again, this is just anecdotal, and shall be taken with a pinch of salt. Sample size of 50 isn't big enough to draw real solid conclusions.

Looks like your save is from a SWSH without the v1.2.0 update. Please get at least the v1.2.0 update, and save twice in-game, then extract the save and try again. Those Pokemon didn't exist pre-v1.2.0 update, and naturally PKHeX will try to stop you from bringing a mon into a game that it doesn't exist in...

Also make sure your save is updated. And PKHeX is updated.

You need the Expansion Pass (Isle of Armor) to get Kubfu or Urshifu.

1998 was MARIO and 1999 was YOSHIRA/YOSHIBA/YOSHIRB/YOSHIBB. I don't see the problem? For anyone wondering, the OT is YOSHI, and Red/Blue machines A/B. EDIT: Looks like from the tweet the issue is the 1998 issue. I bet he is either referencing the wrong issue, or is remembering wrong and got it on the North America Tour. Either way it is not from the 1998 giveaway. EDIT: He responded and I was right. Ok that is settled.

Given the complexities of the various RNG systems for Gen 3 events, such as restricted seeds, OTG or SID being part of the generation procedure etc, I recommend against editing PID/IV/Nature/OTG/ability/SID any 3rd gen event. Hence, no legality guide will be linked (not sure if one even exists for those) If you're importing such a mon into one of the later gens, there isn't a real need to get flawless IVs etc. Gen 6: Ability capsule, can change the mon's ability, from (1) to (2) [and vice versa] if those abilities differ Gen 7: ^ + Hyper Training can max out IVs (they'll appear to have flawless IVs, and will function that way in battle). Gen 8: ^ + mints to change stat nature. (edit: and if the leaked content relating to Crown Tundra stays the same [GF added some CT content in the IoA update; for abilities, you can also 1/2 -> HA)

Back in gen 3 using a good random number generator was not possible. So they used a really shitty (but common) one. When you encounter a pokemon there are multiple random numbers that are returned from that formula. The formula is recursive meaning the result of the previous execution is used for the subsequent one. This means if you look at the entire sequence of events and all of the random number calls, the actual attributes of the final pokemon you encounter is contrived. What I mean by contrived is that the pokemon id, IVs, etc are very limited. By knowing this, you can take the pokemon id, IVs, pokemon species, level, game origin and information about encounter data from that game to validate whether or not the pokemon was actually generated by a real encounter. Fast forward to newer generations and this is not the case. Specifically because even though the algorithm is recursive, the range of possible output numbers is very very high. So if you try to do the same inference to determine if the pokemon was actually generated you will come up with most, if not all possible random number generator numbers. I tried to keep it as non-technical as possible, but I can get into more detail if you are interested.

Use the batch editor with the following command. .OT_Name=Whatever

where are you trying to trade it? (edit: late reply haha my internet went off before seeing the earlier message)

You don't need to compile it yourself.

Updates are constant, but there are only release versions when they feel it's stable enough and/or there are significant changes. You can, however, manually compile it from the PKHeX github yourself with all the latest commits, if you have the tools and knowledge.

Thank you very much, that's exactly what I wanted to know. No local logs at all, server logs unknown, then. I hope they don't log it at all

That data isn't stored on the Switch, if they do log that data, it is server side, and we don't know what they log. So this isn't the right thread, since it's not logged in the save, and to be honest, we don't know either. It would take someone that works for them to know for sure.

It is hard to tell if your Mew is legal by just seeing the few information you provided. There is indeed a matching Mew in the download above, but that's not enough there are far more values that can't be seen ingame and could be wrong, like PID, met location, language, SID ... The best way to find out if your Pokemon is legal is by loading your save file or the pk3 file into PKHeX. If you don't know how to use PKHeX check the following guides. https://projectpokemon.org/tutorials/save-editing/managing-gba-saves/ https://projectpokemon.org/tutorials/save-editing/using-pkhex/loading-and-saving-r28/

Just as a curiosity, for collectors, this mew and the European mew (https://projectpokemon.org/home/forums/topic/40508-gen-1-europe-mew-denmark-event-mew/) are from the same event (Club Nintendo Mew), search a little in bulbapedia and cross both information, and well, according to bulbapedia, the OT of these mew can be EUROPE, NORWAY , FINLAND and DENMARK; Of course, there are other events where the OT is the same, however, these pokemon were distributed to members of the Nintendo club, as mentioned by both owners of these mew, only that one received a mew with OT Norway and the other with Europe , but they are from the same event. I thought for a long time that they would be different events, because there is a Norway mew, but that event was held in person during a tour in Norway, while those of this event, the players had to send their cartridges to Bergsala (Nintendo's distributor in the countries Nordic and Baltic), as mentioned by the owners. Another characteristic that they have in common and that makes them belong to the same event is that the two mew have the same IVS: 5 HP, 10 Attack, 1 Defense, 12 Speed, and 5 Special; which were characteristics of the mew distributed in the Club Nintendo event. One thing that made me doubt is that there is an event called Norway Pokémon Tour Mew (which made me think that the Norway Mew of Project Pokémon was from this event) but no, because the OT of this Norway Pokémon Tour Mew is FINLAND, and the Project Pokemon was NORWAY, so it doesn't match. Well, here I leave the link and the screenshots for you to corroborate. Regards.

OMFG IT WORKED AHHHHHH I even did the same process to Pokemon Shuffle (another game that was hit by this problem, but not even close to this importance). But I got my save file from 2017 of Pokemon X (it was my main game at the time, where I was keeping all my pokemon, legendaries, shinnies etc) I already put some on pokemon bank to not have any problem, and doing the backup of the save files right now!! Thank you guys sooooooo much

if you don't do illegal stuff, like piracy or theme manipulation, should be fine. Up to now I can use them despite having CFW.

Full Documents Related to the Distribution, the full copy of Pokemon Power Volume 6 is attached to this post: In the Fall of 1998 Nintendo Power held a contest to “Win Mew for your Pokémon collection!” 151 winners of this contest would be given the chance to mail their cartridge into the Nintendo Power Headquarters and receive it back with a brand-new mew on their game save. Contest winners were notified by mail by 2/28/1999 that they had won the contest, making this the earliest known Mew distribution in the west. Recently while browsing reddit, I ran across a post from Th4tGuyUKn0 showcasing his Original Red cartridge that was one of the lucky recipients of this contest. After scrolling through the thread, Th4tGuyUKn0 stated that the battery on the game had not yet dried out; upon reading this I immediately messaged him explaining Project Pokémon and asked him if he would be interested in dumping his game save. Luckily, he was all for it! The only problem was he could not remember which of his five Pokémon cartridges he left the mew on, and did not want to risk draining the more than two decades old cartridge battery by checking. Th4tGuyUKn0 graciously decided to send me all of his cartridges so that I could backup the saves and hopefully find the mew. With the amazing research done by @suloku on these save files, we are confident that we have found the Mew in question. In the Pokemon Blue game save we discovered a Mew with the TID 51273 (the same Mew ID# printed on the back of the cartridge) and the OT ‘MARIO’. Suloku has concluded that this Mew is definitely legit. It shares the exact same DVs as the YOSHIBA Mew, matches Mew machine distributions data-wise, and has the same OT Nintendo character naming convention that several forum posts from 2000~ reference. While this does raise questions about what distribution the supposed ‘NINTEN’ Mews are a part of, this Nintendo Power Mew is most certainly legit. Suloku was also able to find the Mew in the red save file as a deleted Pokémon (moved or deleted pokémon can be found in box savedata if it was not overwritten by another pokémon being stored in the same slot). Attached is the the .pk1 of the 1998 Nintendo Power 'MARIO' Mew. Thanks very much again to Th4tGuyUKn0 for sending and trusting us with these cartridges and Suloku for all of the great research, none of this would have been possible without them. Happy holidays and enjoy! 151 - MEW - C23C.pk1 Pokemon Power vol 6.pdf

You're right, I've been able to transfer Fake Out to it. (I managed to transfer the move without needing an egg) So while it seems legally possible, it being blocked may be an oversight for the trading whitelist on the server. Nothing we can do but remove the move..
