Oh, it's not even for B2W2? Yikes. Thanks for your input then.

Sure, here you go. This is also a guaranteed hack, right? 493 - アルセウス - 2318305E826E.pk7

Gotcha. Got it from the same guy, so that seems to be the case. Thanks very much.

Alright, well thanks for your input. Sorry to ask this outside of a thread, but does DreamWorld Arceus also normally give the "Unable to match encounter from origin game" error? I know there are some events that PkHex doesn't fully comprehend. Is this normal?

He claims that he soft resetted it on a retail cart (a used cart), not RNG. Does that mean there's literally 0 chance that it's legitimate?

Thanks for your response. I know it seems ignorant, but he is someone I sort of know, and he's quite adamant that he did really SR it, so if there is a chance that it is legitimate I'd just like to know that. If there is literally pretty much 0 chance, I'll assume he's just lying and do the tradeback he offered, basically.

I'm an event collector of sorts and I only use PkHEX to inspect things that I've received in trades. I was traded a Shiny Shaymin from the Oak's Letter event from a Japanese contact I know. Basically, he said that he found the Oak's Letter in a used cart that he got and he SRed for the Shaymin himself. He traded it to me, and after inspection, it comes up as 'Invalid: Encounter Type PID mismatch' and 'Invalid: PID-Nature mismatch'. Is this a guaranteed hack? I mentioned this to him and he was adamant that he really did SR for it himself but said that he obviously couldn't vouch for the item itself, which was just in a used cart. He says he genuinely doesn't know what the deal is, but offered me a tradeback if I want it. I told him to hold off for now while I investigate, basically. My question is basically this: Is there any way that this flag can come up incorrectly? Also, can this flag come up if the Oak's Letter item was hacked in but the Shaymin was encountered and SRed for normally? Or is he just lying and it 100% means that the Shaymin was hacked? I'd appreciate responses only from people who are quite sure of what they're talking about (not just 'shiny shaymin = hack'), since I know the guy fairly well, although I do acknowledge the possibility that he's just lying. Thanks in advance.
