It looks like you placed an international save into a Japanese game. Whether you restarted the game then or just overwrote the OT, I do not know. Having that trash byte is a problem..

In all honesty, there are other parameters/telemetry that gets recorded in the save, that a simple "swap" like that won't be able to trigger, when it comes to "attempting to make it look like a trade" If I'm not mistaken, the type of telemetry changes per game... Don't remember, but that sounds mostly reasonable. You mean modifying the Natures and IVs before sending in HOME? Yes, HOME presently doesn't check PID IV correlations. But if they decide to, it'll be obvious the mon is illegal. If anyone else checks the data, it is obvious it is illegal.

PKHeX is able to simulate transfers. The only issue is if you wanna send the simulated transfer into HOME for any reason, it will get rejected by HOME PKHeX is unable to assign HOME trackers. And 'stealing' a tracker from another mon won't work; The tracker is used to identify the mon and various stats and immutables need to match the entry stored in the server's logs. Note that the rejection doesn't occur when entering into SWSH, as it is likely related support for the base format used by HOME's launch. Abusing SWSH's loophole is risky business and I will not recommend it.

Please don't abuse the report feature. Just because something you think is "misinformation". Please verify the info on your own first. This is true. All shadows in XD are shiny locked. This is also true, in regards to legitimate and regular (non-cheating) usage of the GameCube games. Unless your intent was JPN games with OT ZACH typed out in Romaji. Even then does not matter, statement itself holds true. In any case, don't see any misinformation. If I were to think deeper based on what I am reading here, and I could be wrong, but it seems like you used Report as an retaliatory action due to the negative response you received. Or perhaps you thought his response would stop people from responding. Whatever the case, don't misuse and abuse the report button. If you don't like the idea "doing it yourself" (as they suggested), you could just wait patiently and someone *might* just do it. After all, the thread isn't locked and anyone is free to reply (mods can lock the thread if need be). In any case, good luck.

I mean if they've not entered HOME, you can do whatever they want, it's not like HOME is gonna know (I'm assuming whatever you do, the mon would be legal..). The only issue with changing immutables is *when it has a HOME ID*. If you modified it badly, when it re-enters HOME, it will get Error 10015 and never be able to enter back into HOME.

While it’s theoretically possible to change OT (oversight to some extent on ILCA’s part), they would log the change and could always punish you down the road. As for other details such as TID/SID, can’t be changed.

You cannot change immutables. Literally the definition of the word. An example would be the PID of a mon. You catch a mon, and it has the PID value of "A". There is no legitimate way to change the value from "A" to "B" in-game. It is immutable; it cannot be changed. And HOME is programmed to pick up on that. So there's minor things that's allowed to be changed in-game, like Nickname and Moves. Those are mutable. I've got a whole page relating to HOME's data, and at the end there's a description of what is technically immutable. Hope this explanation helps.

As long as the mon has a valid tracker (the immutables on the Pokemon matches all immutables logged in the server), it does not matter when it was created/cloned. Pretty much has no relationship to Bank shutdown.

As long as the immutables are not modified, even clones can enter HOME (presently, HOME would assign them a new HOME tracker but will retain all information) In regards to form changes, I’ve tried to cover all the form changes, using Switch games when possible, and transferred from Bank if not possible (such as poke ball Vivillon). I think I got lazy with the gender differences, but I reckon BDSP non-shiny pcdata should have them. The only one that isn’t there for sure is Spinda, as I can withdraw them (no Switch games as a compatible version; BDSP has Spinda but they messed up the implementation so it can’t enter/leave HOME). Though, I believe I dumped the PKH file, and would be usable when a non-VC Switch games has Spinda and also able to have it interact with HOME.

While this isn't Gen 7, I got these mons in HOME, give it a check. Should cover some of what you're requesting.

"Unable to use bank" What is the message you got? Also, you've redownloaded Bank from the eShop, right? If not, it may not function right.

There were previous HOME events via NFC. The NFC scans (using NFC tools on iOS/Android) we got was not a distro file, but rather data for a link, and it seems to have some kind encryption protection thingy (has a rotating CMAC), probably to ensure it is only valid at the time of scanning and thus could not unlock. Still worth a shot, but I am not expecting much.
