Hello, 3 of my pokemon that were caught at the various xd gale of darkness poke spots are flagged as illegal. PKHeX says it's due to a pid+ correlation mismatch
It's only the 3 pokemon in the pc box surrounded by other non-flagged poke spot encounters. I'm pretty sure most/all of my poke spot pokemon were caught in the same 1 or 2 sessions of play. PKHeX has not been used to alter anything on the save file. None of the shadow, gift or in-game trade pokemon in other boxes were flagged as illegal. These pokemon were just used as fodder for the purify chamber so I had no incentive to modify their attributes.
Sorry for being incompetent but I couldn't figure out how to confirm if specific poke spot pids were obtainable on Eligor 1.12 or the poke spot gen 3 tool on PokeFinder 4.2.1. So it is possible that these pokemon just have flat out unobtainable pid/iv combos.
Only explanation I can think of is if dolphin emu causes illegal pid/iv combos due to non-retail rng calls. In that case, would it be an issue specific to emulated poke spot encounters? I didn't encounter this at all on my dolphin emulator colosseum save file and not on xd apart from the poke spot pokemon. Did I just get lucky? Sorry if this emulator discussion part is not appropriate for this thread, I thought it might be relevant.
Played on dolphin emulator v2512 with no cheat codes.
Screenshots taken from PKHeX 20260227 but I also encountered the same result on 20260228+26 dev build.
