If you can get them all the way to Bank, you can then ask someone for help with the transfer to Home. Can't exactly be "free" since Home by default only allows Bank transfers if you pay for the Premium plan.

Recently found out that the Misty Mark can actually be obtained in SV but it's only in very specific spots as mist isn't a proper weather normally. Have managed to get a handful of marked pokemon with the mark, but tried to load one up in PkHex and saw it was marked as illegal in both the public build and the dev build. So was just wondering if there's any chance that support for the mark would be added eventually, or if it'd be left as is since it requires a set up in-game to even have a chance of getting it.

How exactly were you shiny hunting it? Heracross is one of the few shadow-locked mons so that also might be why it's marked as illegal. I'm also running tests with PokeFinder and I'm not finding any possible seeds for this specific Heracross

Upload the files yeah. Also are you obtaining them actually in-game or are you using PkHex's database to get them?

I'm really sorry for the late reply. Here's a post trade file with the bot that's working. I had another user help me confirm that the others were resetting the Home tracker, though no word from the owners for now. Post-Trade Working.pk9

Just wanted to update, out of 7 bots in the discord, 2 don't reset the home tracker. So I let the owners know and hopefully they figure out why the others are doing that. Thanks again for the help, would've never imagined that the bots were the ones acting up

I see, well I'll tell them regardless and maybe they can tweak the bots or something, in the meantime I'll also keep the tracked files just in case as well. Thank you for the help!

That's so unfortunate. Would you recommend trying the other bots then and see if any works properly? Since as far as I know, there's 2 owners in the discord server so not all bots are setup the same. And would it be worth bringing this up to their attention too?

...Okay I feel really dumb now but loading the post-trade files into PkHex, they now show without a Home Tracker, which would mean the sysbots would be editing that, right?

Yes, when viewed in HOME they had missing stuff, in-game they had the right info. And I'm absolutely certain, these files are the ones I wanted to edit (mainly for the ribbons really) but kept the unedited ones after seeing the missing stuff. This didn't cross my mind but here I attached the files after being traded back to SV. "Alice" is the name of one of the sysbots I've been using in a discord, been using all of them for months. But since you say it has oddities, File 1 here was traded by Alice, File 2 was traded by another bot. File 1-Post Trade.pk9 File 2-Post Trade.pk9

Hoping to get some insight/help with this. A couple of days ago I was doing transfers from Bank to Home to SV, it went smoothly but then, I used a sysbot to get their files on my pc, wanting to edit them to give them all their possible TMs and a ribbon or two, however when I traded them back to SV and Home, I noticed that some information/data was missing. Thinking that it might've been the edits, I tried trading myself back the unedited files but then those also showed up with missing stuff. I loaded up the unedited files on PkHex again to try and see if anything was being marked wrong but couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. File 1 is an unedited Quilava that was just transferred from Bank to SV, not even used in-game for a minute. Back in Home it showed with No Pokeball and met location of "---". File 2 is a Quilava that was transferred to SV, PLA then back to SV. Back in Home this one also showed up as if it had been generated in SV, no trace at all of Bank's nor PLA's data. Earlier today I transferred a clone of each into SV then back to Home without trying to trade them in SV and so far neither has lost info/data. File 1.pk9 File 2.pk9

Not quite "impossible" since it also would depend on how the Action Replay gives you the shinies, for example, some AR force the same Shiny PID everytime so even though the pokemon would be legal, they'll all be "clones" of each other and that of course would be an obvious sign that they're not legit. But yes, for the most part it will be enough to change the PID from normal to a shiny one and the game won't see any issue with that.

The thing is that starting from Gen 5, they made it so Any PID is possible, meaning that the shiny generated via action replay are still technically obtainable in-game and thus, are marked as legal. You'd have to mess up badly in order for the shinies to be marked as illegal (i.e. trying to assign impossible stats, abilities, etc.) Gen 4 on the other hand (and Gen 3) had more limitations so PID generating required a bit more in order to get legal pokemon.

Tera raids use seeds, meaning you can't simply make a shiny, you're going to need to find a proper raid seed to get a shiny

It's the Teacher NPC to the left, you talk to her and she updates the dex. If that isn't working then that means the game isn't recognizing that you changed it, and you'd have to look for another tool to properly edit the dex.

PkHex doesn't have an option to edit Colo's Strategy Memo so you'd have to "update" it in-game at Phenac's Pre-Gym. If that doesn't work then you'd have to look for another tool to edit it.

Yeah that's it pretty much

You can leave the PIDs as they are really, the only reason to change them would be if some of them were shiny, as shininess uses TID/SID so if you change the original combo, the pokemon will not be shiny anymore and you'll have to find a new shiny PID for the new combo

I just did some tests on my HG save file. Changing TID/SID didn't affect the legality of already caught pokemon, though stuff like shininess changes due to the new combo. If you edit your TID/SID then the game will just "accommodate" to that and generate regular, legal PIDs for the new combo

I mean wouldn't really be cheating since as you said there isn't much option nowadays, plus you're evolving it into Steelix as intended, would be a different thing if you wanted to evolve your Onix into like Mewtwo or something like that.

Yeah there doesn't seem to be an option for Safari Zone edits. However there's also a method to get the 100+ days using time manipulation if you'd be interested in that instead.

I didn't even know introductions were a thing here, but welcome to the site!

Assuming you mean adding more being the issue, instead of the save getting corrupted, unfortunately ranch has a hard limit to how many pokemon can be deposited at a time, you have to manually change date enough times for Hailey to go "Now the ranch can support X pokemon" And then using PkHex you will be able to reach that limit quickly.

It's generally not recommended to change anything from a pokemon that already has a HOME tracker
