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.

@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

It’s about the RNG generation. At any time for raids (I believe SV is included for this?) RNG seed generates calculable PID - IV - Mark - Shininess (fake trainer ID). Thus tempering with shiny/mark generation within the ROM *could* result in invalid values being generated. Since I’ve not tried the scenario for SV, I cannot be sure. You could try and see if (a) it causes illegal correlations or (b) if the correlation the ROM generates is still legal or (c) raid SV data is sufficiently random

Probably could use pkNX (ROM editing). The resulting pokemon would likely be illegal.

You should be able to fix checksums in the tool or in PKHeX. Then export/save that fixed save. Then try again. also make sure the wonder card you’re trying to use matches your game version + game language.

Just add the item using PKHeX, add it directly to your bag.

Event distribution has since ended

You can't extract saves out of ROMs. But if you managed to extract your own demo games and what not, and played it on an emulator, you can extract the save from the RAM. I'm not sure if there's any specific guides online, but you'll need to identify the area of the RAM to extract and it'll *almost* function as a save (If I'm not mistaken, there's one more edit to achieve but I don't remember where to change) In any case, if you were just interested in the Pokemon, can use this:

What could have happened: you’ve had an English pokemon in your viewer, then tried to change the language to Korean. As a result, the existing English name became trash bytes. hold down the control button on your keyboard, then click on the nickname. A window should pop-up, where you can delete trash bytes.

For the most part, same as generating BACD algo, but restricted to certain seeds. You’re gonna need to know what those seeds are. And know how to sacrifice 3 RNG calls to the ravenous RNG beast Also, I would NOT recommend attempting to generate Gen 3 event mons. They might have other RNG corrections outside of the standard PID correlations, that could affect stuff like version/origin game or OT gender, which PKHeX may not check for or maybe not properly documented.
