So I started playing Pokemon Pearl on my NDS Lite recently and had used RNG Manipulation to setup the Cute Charm Glitch, so after RNGing a Shiny Ranger Manaphy and catching a handful of Pokemon from the Honey Trees, I wanted to check my save to see if I had any Wurmple that could evolve into Silcoon or Beautifly, but when I was looking through my party and boxes I noticed Invalid/Illegality Marks on all of my Honey Tree encountered Pokemon, each Alert says "Invalid: Unable to match encounter conditions to a possible RNG frame." but each one I've caught using the Cute Charm Glitch.

I'm using PKHex (20240310).

The Pokemon Marked Invalid are the 2 Wurmple in my Party and the 2 Burmy, 1 Combee, 1 Vespiquen, 1 Cherubi, 1 Cherrim, and 1 Aipom all in Box 2

The method of Encounters used are the Honey Trees in Floaroma Meadow, Route 205(South), and Valley Windworks all with using the Cute Charm Glitch

Levels met at are Lvl10 for Wurmple, Lvl14 for Wurmple, Lvl13 for Burmy, Lvl12 for Burmy, Lvl14 for Combee, Lvl15 for Vespiquen, Lvl13 for Cherubi, Lvl14 for Cherrim, and Lvl15 for Aipom

I have not edited any of the listed Pokemon in any way, no moves have been changed/added/deleted, I have trained and evolved/trained a few of them for the Pokedex entries in game, and I haven't edited any of their PIDs/IVs/EVs/Weights/Heights/etc.

Awesome! Thank you so much for this, it helped a lot.

Anyway, I think I already found something pretty interesting. At first, I was just trying to edit my rental pass trainer's skin tone, but I accidentally stumbled across something neater than that. By editing 0x23895 (where my first/main rental pass is) from 06 to 07, I was able to change my trainer to Lucas from DP. His trainer class is considered "Young Boy A" in the game, although he has his own unique animations. Weirdly enough, his Battle Pass portrait is messed up; it zooms in on his legs rather than his face or full body!
I'll try more values to see if Dawn, the boss trainers, or alternate skin tones are available.

Edit: I have just tested out values 08, 09, 0A, 0B, and 0D. 08 let me play as Dawn, who is also called "Young Boy A". 09, 0A, 0B and 0D crashed the game upon loading Battle Passes.

Basically: 07 = Lucas, 08 = Dawn. 06 and under are all legal trainer classes.

I've also found out where the skin tone is determined. It is at offset 0x23A62. The default (A) skin tone is 0, but setting it to 1 will change it to B, the slightly darker one. Setting it to 2 will likely make it C. It was probably located here since the Japanese version didn't let you change skin tones, so they placed the setting in a near-inaccessible location.

Spoiler

I've also been trying to search for where rental Pokemon are located, but haven't had any luck so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I Checked my Decrypted Save in HxD and found that My Custom Passes and Friend Passes were actually above my Rental Passes so I just scrolled down from the top and came across the name of my Personal Trainer Card and found that the model id must be close like maybe 3 or 4 bytes to the right or so and they were, so after changing it to "08" I now have a working Dawn Trainer Pass, if anyone wants to edit their Custom Passes it should be Below your Save File then you should see your Pass Name "D�a�w�n������������ÿÿÿÿ+êÿ������ÿÿÿÿ�c�e� �m�e�e�t�i�n�g� �y�o�u�!" or something like this, the model data is the 3rd or 4th Dot or "�" after  somethin' like this "ÿÿÿÿ+êÿ" then once you change it to "07" or "08" it should be Dawn or Lucas. also thanks james and blackshark  for the decrypt/encrypt tool and info of the model ids. I've been looking for ways to pay as Dawn and now I finally can so thanks!
