That’s concerning. How did you dump the data the first time round (was it Burn2Slot? I don’t use it lol)

Can you try making a copy of the save bin to your desktop, rename the file (maybe to ruby edited.bin), then try to use the tool, then afterwards send the save back to your cart? If that doesn't work, may need to get files from you (we will need to trim it and take the part after the ROM, to make sure I don't get the ROM)

@SkyLink98 we’re going to need to take a look at this, as well as test the redemption criteria in-game of the same PID + forced ability. thanks @ryuefi for reporting and @ICanSnake for the in depth analysis.

And how would you know the save file wasn’t injected back? also, don’t rename the extracted save.

Try gbabf to write the game back to the cart: use at your own risk. Keep an unmodified backup before you proceed.

I guess before we get to that, the question I wanna ask is: is the date met generated upon meeting or upon capture? I suspect the latter. because that easily breaks date and PIDIV. With this method you can change the date to whatever date that is legally allowed by the 3DS, after you encounter the Mon.

Yes, if you intend to modify anything you should wipe the tracker, then deposit into HOME from the origin game. Just make sure you're not changing it to anything that breaks the Gen8/Gen9 correlations. Do note that if someone decides to review the data with a fine tooth comb, they may notice oddities (like let's say they noticed PID EC is the same as something else in the logs, but oddly IVs are differently, or something), but realistically how likely would that be tho?

pika.zip Give these a try. (source) DO NOT MODIFY any of the stats and details. The sysbot you use will need to keep tracker, in order for you to be able to insert them into HOME (I am saying this as some sysbots wipe the tracker and make the tracker 0. If you want to confirm whether it keeps the tracker, after injecting them into your game, get the sysbot to extract/dump the mon, and check whether the new dump has a tracker.)

Hey no worries, just doing an investigation. I too don’t really remember the Arceus DW event, even tho it’s one of the first few I finally got to legitimately obtain so I should have remembered. I think it went a little bit like this: you’ve had to key in a password into Pokemon Global Link, then Game Sync (send a Mon into Dream World), and when it comes back, it’ll bring the Arceus into Entree Forest. Go to the furthest clearing, and interact with the 2D model, and it’ll initiate a “battle”. In reality you just needed to throw a poke ball, any poke ball (it wasn’t limited to Dream Ball). It ignoring how your triggered the even for now, but if you really had a Gen 4 Arceus, it could very well be stuck in your Gen 4 or Gen 5 games; not every Arceus could go into Bank, if I’m not mistaken.

done done

@Veganator I don’t want to be a broken record, but Dream Ball and Switch's HOME reporting first met as Unova? Sounds like the Arceus distributed via the Dream world. What you should do, is use the mobile version of HOME, and view the summary of said Arceus, then scroll all the way down, then check the "First Met" (Met location) of the Arceus, then report back to us. Example: Human memory isn’t infallible. Maybe you’ve watched a YouTube video of someone with an injected fake wonder card, and thought to yourself “oh yeah, this sounds familiar”. And the nostalgia would have been partly true too: you probably did redeem other gifts from the delivery guy, just not the Azure flute, as that wasn’t distributed. Or maybe you have a friend which modified a distribution ROM, and distributed the fake event to you, which was why you remembered the steps taken. You’ve just forgotten how you’ve obtained the event. [tho that wouldn’t really explain that it seems to have Gen 5 origin for everything] (Also for the record, the delivery man isn’t next to Nurse Joy in Gen 4, they’re next to the poke mart counter) OR maybe your cart is fake and you’ve ended up playing a ROM hack. Try transferring something up legitimately.. There’s many possible explanations here. Whichever the case is, your story doesn’t match the Arceus you’ve shown us..

It’s like how you can’t trade Giratina’s origin form into Diamond and Pearl.. When we say “it doesn’t exist”, it means the species isn’t even programmed into the game. No picture. No stats. no index number (for that). you could hack in the index number, but you’ll get a corrupted mess that isn’t Zeraora. Kinda like how Deoxys doesn’t exist in Crystal.. Or Arceus doesn’t exist in Emerald

Yeah those species were introduced in USUM, and weren’t patched into SM. It’s like how Giratina’s origin forme doesn’t exist in Diamond and Pearl.

If you're like to see the evolution animation, you need to receive it by trade. It only happens right after the trade. Will not be possible by save editing. The alternative would be the perform a ROM hack and change the evolution requirements.

Report the download pages and our staff will take a look

Use at your own risk

The game or the pk file or the editor exe ?

If you’re trying to use the ticket normally in-game, I think you’ll need to have the National Dex and access to the ferry. Requirements to access Birth island as per Bulbapedia And to keep legal, depends on what origin game: Emerald -> ENG FRE GER ITA SPA FRLG -> ENG FRE GER ITA SPA JPN I advise you to read this page: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/AuroraTicket

You can ignore it for those particular events.

You brought a more than dead thread back to life (necroposting, search it up) Anyhow, if you’ve read what was said in the entire thread, any traded pokemon need to have Not OT Trainer details. This is true even if it went back to the original trainer. Look at the screenshots. Format of PKHeX changed but it should still be relevant.

Very detailed findings, great work as usual! I’ll look into the saves from the second hand Japanese cartridges I’ve bought, to see if I could find anything
