I'm trying to get Partner Cap Pikachu from the deliveryman in Pikachu Valley but the deliveryman won't show up. I have scanned the QR code (the game tells me that I have already scanned it), but the deliveryman won't show up. I've checked PKHex and the event flags show I can receive Partner Cap Pikachu and that I have not yet received it. I've tried unchecking the Can Receive one and scanning the QR code again, but it still says I have already scanned it. Really don't know how to make the deliveryman show up. I am trying to shiny hunt Partner Cap Pikachu but obviously can't if the guy doesn't even show up. I've attached a copy of my save file, if anyone could help out with fixing whatever went wrong. Really don't want to make a new save file just so I can hunt it, but I guess if I have to I will. main

Probably, but it does also seem specific to Mismagius. My Honchkrow that was a gen 3 Murkrow went through just fine. So maybe they just forgot to say it was Okay for Mismagius when they saw they'd already okayed Misdreavus . Idk, its weird though

Yep, just managed to trade the exact same mismagius file, but changed to be a misdreavus instead . what is going one with gamefreak??? 0200 ★ - Morrigan - C0C305662B31.pk9

wait, so what you're saying is that for some reason, the pokemon company/gamefreak has past gen Mismagius banned? Is this just a Scarlet Violet issue or a BDSP/PLA issue too? And should I just use a mismagius instead? Do you think it'll be blocked again if it evolves in Scarlet/Violet?

Just tried, removed all but the National Ribbon, which it is required to have as a former Shadow Pokemon. Game still prevents it from being traded. 10429 ★ - Morrigan - D4E438731625.pk9

I made a shiny Mismagius that evolved from the Pokemon Colosseum Shadow Misdreavus. It has all possible ribbons up to Scarlet/Violet, but for some reason I cannot trade it or go into ranked battles when I put it in game. PkHex says it is fully legal. I'm not seeing anything that should prevent it from reading as a fully normal and legal Pokemon. I've had the other shiny shadow pokemon go through Ranked in Sword/Shield and Scarlet/Violet perfectly fine. The only reason I'm even making this Mismagius is because the one I already made previously, that went through Pokemon Bank, for some reason ALSO can't be traded or go into ranked battles, even though it is also perfectly legal and made the same way I made the other mons that were able to. Please help. 0429 ★ - Morrigan - E17E38731625.pk9
