Hello to everyone, this is my first post. I used to lurk here but well now I registered so welcome to me!
I read guides and watched YT videos about creating or modifying pokemons with PKHeX and I learned how to create a perfectly 100% legal mon in both Gen6 and Gen7. So I been able to finish my dex on both generations without using illegal stuff.
Now I probably get a Switch for this Christmas and I'm not sure if I will install a CFW or something, but out of boredom, I tried to drag'n'drop my pk6/pk7 files into a blank Sw/Sh savegames, and they almost all flag as Illegal.
The main error is "Incorrect transfered from past generation", but I think that is not a problem, I mean maybe the process to transfer from Gen7 to Gen8 is different so some values may change, but that doesn't mean the Pokemon is Illegal itself.
However, what kinda surprised me, is many of them, have moves flagged as illegal. Moves that they can easily learn by TM or leveling up. So I don't understand why on SwSh they are illegal (Im not refering to "yellow" moves like Hidden Power, literally red alert saying the move is illegal)
Others Pokemon have legal moves, but wrong "Relearn moves", even though when I created the pk7 and I made the egg, I made sure to click "Relearn move" so it would auto-fill in case of Egg-Moves.
Example:
Raticate with Stomping Tantrum, Facade, U-Turn, Sucker Punch,
Has Learning moves: Tackle, Tail Whip (others are empty)
100% legal on pre-Gen8 games
When dropped into a SwSh savegame, it flags the 2 blank Relearn moves as illegal.
My question is:
1) Is PKHeX "outdated" speaking of Gen6-7?
2) If these Pokemons are flagged as illegal (relearn moves/normal moves), even though they are 100% legal on a UltraMoon savegame, are they automatically illegal if transfered to Sw-Sh? Like, do I get banned or something?
I just want to know where exactly is the problem and what could be the risks, if I have to re-edit them all or what, because I don't understand.
I tried to search similar topics but didnt find an asnwer.
Thanks for any help! Greetings
