don't limit your search to gen 8 only

OT gender. It’s determined when the mon is generated, and we know how it matches up. Since PKHeX doesn’t check for it, you may end up with a illegal mon if the OT Gender is incorrect, even if all other details looks correct.

You mind sending me a screenshot of the insides of the folder you're trying to import from? The screenshot needs to have the save inside it.

Which system, 3DS or Switch? If it's the Switch, am I right to guess that your Pokemon received by trade is done on OFW, and checkpoint dumping is done via CFW? If your situation is indeed as I described, your OFW and CFW profiles have unlinked. It is not known how they unlinked, but I can only imagine you've done some kind of update (maybe game, firmware etc) that caused them to unlink. Thus, your CFW and OFW saves are different now. If the above isn't your described issue, ignore the paragraph, and report to us all the details. (Device? using CFW? Using emunand? etc)

I know, but that's the most risk-free method. Else, learn how to handle risk.

Provide a before save, an after save, and the pkm file, thanks.

@Paradoxian13 kindly do not multi-post. If you have any new information, and the latest post is yours and unanswered, just edit the info in. I've taken the liberty to merge your posts together. Carry on.

don't really know how to explain this. So far, people who were banned were the devs (dumping their certs for PC tools), or users that have had piracy or impossible themes at some point. As far as we can tell the bans for the latter isn't immediate. Supposedly, as long as you're on CFW, and you go online, there's always a risk that they'll detect something. then get a second switch, use only that for online. This way, your hacking switch and online switch are two separate units.

No. Extract the mons as pk4 files. Then save twice in-game. (it's okay if they aren't there) Now use PKHeX to open the save and import the pk4. Then save in PKHeX. Then load the save.

okay, I don't see them too. Here's what you can do. Extract them to your PC, then save in game platinum twice, then try to import into the save. Then load the save and see if it works.

okay, send me your save, tell me what mons were the new mons

now, do the same to your own save file, the one with the changes. Remove ANY OTHER platinum save from the SD card, then rename your save place that you wanted, and place it on the SD card

Emrn, you have 2 platinum saves there I see? rename my save to match your game name, then place all other platinum saves somewhere on your computer.

First: Then: Yup to both.

try this: remove ALL Platinum saves from your SD card (like, physically check for it). You can have those saves backed up on your desktop. THEN, place the intended save into the SD card. Now, take the Platinum save from here, and place it in your SD card. Now load the game, did the user change?

hacking your Switch.

For every location of the species ID, minus 0x0B. Location of the various species can be found in previous posts from me. (here) If you don't understand that, you probably should do the edits.. Even tho every event up to now appears to be random, I've had this row for Abilities, as these were the only changes I've noticed previously. However, now that some raids were reported to be HA only, those raids coincidentally show what I've had as abilities (tentative) this whole time: Thus, I believe the ability values are the same as wonder cards in previous generation. (Also, Dai_encount seems to use this too): 0 - Ability 1 1 - Ability 2 2 - Ability HA 3 - Random (1 & 2) 4 - Random (1, 2 & HA) Now looking back to previous stuff that I saw the "2" on: If this difference is indeed what trigger the ability, it appears that because forced HA was only 1 and 2 star, people didn't report it cause they already completed the game ><

Well, the fact is you’re transferring impossible stuff from bank -> HOME. If they log the transfers, and log the device ID which your HOME uses to receive the transfer, they could easily ban your device. That’s provided they log that stuff, of course. Yeah you could Always strip it and test part by part. See if it even works at bare minimum. For all we know, the recent HOME update blocks it, or maybe they updated Bank server side to make it freeze..

There’s a glitch presently, where as long as the ID is correct, even if they don’t exist, they’ll transfer via bank into HOME, and show up correctly. @chropic I’ve experienced something like @Asia81 mentioned previously. I think I had to remove any IV modification code for batch editor to work correctly, but that isn’t the issue you’re having. Consider only transferring one hacked in gen 8 at a time, and narrow down which batch editor code works (perhaps try by testing which line works, and which doesn’t). But still, I wouldn’t recommend even trying this, they may be logging data and users may get banned in the future..

@Kaphotics even tho the WC for LGPE indicated Ability 1 only, I believe LGPE WC redemptions ignored the items and abilities fields (probably was preset to 1 & 2), hence this Mewtwo having Ability 2. (some other events, like Secret Club Krabby and Poké Ball Mew, had all abilities, including HA, but I don't think any of thoses ended up with HA)

won't recommend it.
