@theSLAYER ok thanks, that makes sense on the Swablu, thanks for the help on that. as i mentioned, i had made a few legal mons, i guess i just messed it up for this one.
to be honest, i was trying to make a shiny kartana, and i had all the details right, i think? i wasn’t meeting it as an egg or anything. i had my sid and pid right, i had Xor set to 1, the level that Kartana is encountered at i know is 70, and in the Max Lair. i didn’t have ribbons or memories. met in sword. it was all right. i got it to work by inserting a kartana from the database. which definitely means i was doing something wrong. i wanna know what it was i was doing wrong, and why, with all the details that i had before (which the app considered illegal) the SAME, it only worked when i imported it from the database. i can provide screenshots of that, also, if needed
edit: i just tried to make a ho-oh and the same thing is happening. here's the screenshots:
edit: i went ahead and just grabbed a ho-oh from the database, and it works fine, but again, only thing that's different are the moves. i think it's the encryption constant that messes up my ho-oh?
edit: i swapped the met locations with swablu as you suggested, but still encountering the same issue. again, i think it's to do with not knowing how to reroll encryption constants...
