Hey! I keep missing the event timelines in SV, so I am thinking to mod my Switch to catch up on them. I have some questions. This is what I want to do: Get past Tera raid events Do tera raids from a specified seed Get Mystery gifts from wondercards These are my resources: Switch OLED Macbook Air All my games as physical game cartridges And these are my questions: Is it easy to set this up? I don’t know anything about sysnand, emunand or CFW. Can I keep getting the official mystery gifts and tera raid events online if I mod my switch to have a “dualboot” setup? Without risk of getting banned ofc. Can I keep using pokémon Home to send pokémon between my different saves? If I do get banned, is that just my physical Switch that cannot go online anymore, or is it also my nintendo user profile that is tied to my pokémon save? I’m thinking if I could then just transfer my pokémon save to a new switch and keep using it online. Can I do all this on my Macbook if I set up a Windows partition on my Macbook and then use the necessary Windows programs? I tried the setup like a year ago, and kept getting errors. Any advice of how to succeed with this? If I do all this, catch up on the events, can I then just go back to original firmware on my Switch and it will be like the Switch was never modded? Will my Pokémon Violet save file have any signs in the data or coding that it has once been modded in any way? I’ve read online that the save itself can be marked as illegal, not necessarily the pokémon inside it. Hopefully I’ll get some answers about this, thanks for your time if you read it!

hey, does anyone know where i can find a 6iv shiny rayquaza being hosted? a discord server maybe?

hey! i used to know some discord servers where you can request a tera raid to be hosted by a bot in SV by typing in a seed. now, none of those servers offer raids anymore, i am not sure if some big changes have happened. could anyone recommend any discord server that still hosts raids from seeds?

In Home mobile, it has a Poké ball just like it's supposed to. It says it was "first moved in" to Home at today's date. Does that mean the Home tracker was unchanged?

I did it and it looks like it worked! But how do I check that the HOME Tracker on the pokémon is unchanged after I received it from the sysbot? Is there a tell tale sign to look out for?

Alright! How do I know that the sysbot doesn't change the Home tracker? Is there a sysbot that you can recommend?

Oh that sounds like it could be something. I can't do any save editing, but I could do the sysbot thing. What info do I enter to the sysbot?

Got it, thanks for the info!

Hey! Looking for someone that has a Vivillon with Poké ball pattern from the event years ago (or from the wondercards on this website) that has a duplicate of the Poké ball Vivllion to trade me in Scarlet & Violet. Looking for it for a friend who missed the event. I have lots of Dittos that I caught from raids with unique IVs, natures and shininess to trade. Hopefully someone can help me out to get this Vivillion.

Oh I see. Yeah, none of the already caught Pokémon were shiny. So if I got this right, all the same PIDs for non-shiny Pokémon are all available naturally in the game regardless of what your TID/SID is? *Just* not on shiny Pokémon, cause that's when only a set range of PIDs are available.

Oh cool! Good to know. So do I need to find a new PID for the already caught Pokémon that I now put the new TID/SID on? Cause I assume the old PID was chosen for them to correlate to my old TID, and now a new PID need to match the new TID, right?

Does anyone know this? About to catch Lugia with my new (edited) trainer ID, and want to make sure the PID and all that will generate correctly according to my new TID, so I can transfer it up.

Thanks!

That's a great tip too! If it's one of my old fave Pokémon from gen 1-4 that I'm transferring up all the way with ribbons and things, I think I'll give it some tries to at least get an XXS (in SV measurements). That's still close enough to SV size XXXS, so visually they'll be pretty much the same. So that will be cool for the old classics in a new game. Other than that, I think chasing for a Mini and Jumbo in Scarlet & Violet or Go is, you know, the way to... GO!

Yeah, I think we totally know the odds well enough to know what we can expect. Your research was plenty. And alright, I only have devices to dump saves from gen 1-4 games, and my switch is not CFW so I'll just try my luck the regular way then to transfer and check the sizes. I probably won't give it too many tries if it gets boring tho. We'll see

Oh, true! You could've just been 'lucky' getting two pokémon with HT 0 below odds, and then I guess unlucky with 18 000 transfers to finally get the HT 255. I checked your linked threads, interesting findings for sure. Thanks for the helpful research! I'll be transferring Pokémon through Bank to Home and then to SV. How do you transfer and check the pokémon as fast as possible?

Whoah congrats on getting size 0 and size 255! Now we know! Getting a few after "just" 3700 tries certainly gives hope. Much better than 1/16512 odds as in SV at least. Any technique to transfer and check them as fast as possible?

Oh I see, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the info! I guess the only thing we can still find out now, is if it's even possible at all, to actually randomly get HT/WT 0 from Home, and then ofc sending the Pokémon to SV and get size 0 the regular way (as intended by Home). I guess it's probably either 1/16512 odds, or locked to not be able to get size 0 at all. I'm assuming it's the same odds as SV though, so I guess it's just a matter of time until the first person shows up to state that they randomly got size 0 through Home. It can be a new thing, just like shiny hunting legendaries, but instead finally seeing the Mini mark after 16 000 transfers

Oh, you totally misunderstood. I personally wasn't at all looking to actually edit a Pokémon after it entered Home. I don't have a CFW Switch and I as I wrote in my original post, I'm not interested in editing a Pokémon with Home trackers and troublesome things like that. I was just curious of the mechanics of how the Home tracker works and where the size gets assigned, which is apparently in Home, and this I had no idea of. I thought it was in SV. Well, that's good to know.

Interesting question that was asked. But how would Home even be able to tell if the Pokémon received an actual random size, or (an edited) size 0 meanwhile it is in Scarlet & Violet? I thought the Home tracker doesn't track anything meanwhile the Pokémon is in SV, and it only became active once the Pokémon was sent back to Home and leaving Scarlet & Violet. And at that point, the tracker wouldn't really know what happened in Scarlet & Violet, the tracker would just assume whatever size it got, was randomly assigned?

Thanks! Yeah the first part I was aware of originally, but I thought there was hopefully another unknown way to bypass it or something. But I guess it really was just like that then! The part about the odds is news to me. Thanks for doing the research, that's helpful to know. I was really hoping it'd be 1/256 for a mini mark, but I guess not then. The fact that you got nothing after 1920 transferred probably means it's the same odds like in Scarlet & Violet, 1/16512 right?

That's a lot of games! I'll try a bit of everything and see if there's any pattern anywhere, regarding how size gets assigned when moving from Home to those games. If anyone does figure out a pattern of what sizes gets assigned when moving to certain games, feel free to respond in this thread. Like, patterns of what sizes that the Pokémon usually get, or some size determination that seems to be rare. Or if anyone have a gauge of what odds there can possibly be of getting size 0 through Home, maybe 1/16512 or 1/256, that'd also be interesting to know.

Yeah, it might be something like that. Did you move them to any game after they were in Home?

Oh I see. But I read that before the 3.0 update, if you transfer any Bank Pokémon through Home to PLA, it would always get size 0. But you're saying that your Pokémon entered Home for the first time in v 2.0, and then before the 3.0 version came out, you didn't actually transfer the Pokémon onwards to any game, they kept just hanging out in different Home accounts during all that time? Now, after the 3.0 update, did you transfer then from Home to any game? If so, what was the first game you transfered them to after they arrived to Home? Trying to figure out when and where size 0 was assigned
