Thank you for the information, again! I don't think I'll have to worry about the Home trackers since I'm putting my genned pokemon in Ultra Moon and then to Bank and then to Home, if I understood what you said correctly. Please do correct me if I'm wrong, again, haha.

I see, thank you for the information. I don't have custom firmware or anything on my Switch (I usually avoid hacking current-gen consoles because of the likelihood of breaking updates, network bans, etc.; it's just my personal preference) but I do on my 3DS, so I'd be using PKSM to put pokemon made with PKHeX onto my Ultra Moon save, putting those into Pokemon Bank, and then moving those to Home. If what you say is correct, then was the announcement made back in 2021 (I think) not really what it sounded like? I'm mainly trying to understand what the reality is, because things like this can get overblown on the Internet out of fear. From what I've heard from you guys here, my understanding is that: 1. Since PKHeX's legality checks are so robust, there's (essentially) no chance of any pokemon that passes PKHeX's checks being detected as illegal by official legality checks, 2. Actual Pokemon-specific bans have historically only been done in more extreme cases of hacking (hacked raids, home accounts with tons of illegal mons), and 3. Full NNID bans (as opposed to Pokemon-specific) have historically only been done in the cases of Switch modification and/or piracy. Please correct me if I seem to have misunderstood anything. I'm mainly worried because most of my friends don't have any form of custom firmware for any of their Nintendo consoles, so trading with them online on 3DS games I don't think is going to be an option forever (due to the closure of the eShop, and if it hasn't already been locked out; I'm pretty out of the loop haha), and if I want to give them legal genned pokemon through trading, I want to understand what the risks are so I can prevent them. If I got myself banned for hacking, I'd figure out a way to deal with it, but I'd feel absolutely terrible if I got one of my friends banned because of my mistake.

Title. I'm dipping my toes into the water of pokemon genning, and for the moment I've just been using PKSM's event injector to get old mystery gifts. However, I'd like to be able to make, y'know, customized pokemon that are still within legality, like a shiny Contrary Snivy, for example. I've read that PKHeX's legality checker is "the most robust" or something like that, but I've also read some conflicting stuff on the online bans that were implemented a while back during Sword and Shield's era. Are they still in effect? What are the extents? As said in the title, is PKHeX's legality checker good enough? I know that Home won't accept any pokemon it deems illegal, but I'm mostly worried about bringing the pokemon out of Home and into the Switch games. I can't seem to find any explicit confirmations one way or the other. Thank you in advance!
