Thank you for the information, you've cleared up my doubts. I also searched for the people you mentioned who recreated the distributions and came across Groppier's channel and watched the videos, amazing work they did! Hopefully, some kind person can contribute with these Japanese event Pokémon one day. Thanks again, ICanSnake!

I'm not a code expert, but I think I understand. The Pokémon from the "Gather More Pokémon!" campaign are marked as illegal because PKHeX doesn't recognize them, not because they are actually illegal. Regarding the Pokémon that are not in the event gallery, like the Poképark Jirachi, I assume you know how they were generated. Therefore, you don't necessarily need a collector to share an actual Pokémon to create a legality checksum. About the Registeel, though: does this mean that the one in the event gallery here is hacked? I also noticed on GitHub that Chansey and Lickitung were removed from the repository after a commit named something like "Remove Hacked Pokémon." However, they are still in the event gallery here and are marked as illegal on PKHeX. I presume this means there are no official Chansey and Lickitung eggs publicly available anymore.

Where exactly do the Pokémon from the PKHeX Encounter Database come from? I've noticed that the database has data for Pokémon not present in the Event Gallery section here or in the EventsGallery repository on GitHub. To name a few, the Poképark Jirachi, Hadō Regirock, and the PCNY "Wish" eggs for Chansey and Lickitung. Are the Pokémon in the Encounter Database 100% legitimate? I also have another question regarding legality. PKHeX shows that some Pokémon, even from the Event Gallery, are illegal (Hadō Registeel, for example). I also noted that it marks every Pokémon from the "Gather More Pokémon!" campaign (PCJP gift) as illegal, even though I obtained them from the link below. However, the ones in the PKHeX Encounter Database are all marked as legal.
