so instead you're risking someone else's switch. Nice. If someone wants to help you, they'll PM you. :3

Thank you for your honesty. To an extent I feel the same way as well >< Even though I don't know how to debug XD, nor could I launch PKHeX on VS for some weird reason, I followed a hunch I had and found out what was wrong: The indexes for the data are off by 1. When I purified (81) Togepi in-game, (82) Poochyena appears purified in PKHeX. I purified (72) Lapras in-game, and (73) Lugia appears purified in PKHeX. So the issue with (1) Teddiursa probably means it's reading data from slot (0), or something akin to that.

In any case. your tool worked well with Ruby @I_inject_crayons you can use pokecal's tool for Ruby. (Usable data exist, but somehow the header is somehow corrupted, hence not readable by VBA or PKHeX) We cannot extract usable data, if usable data doesn't exist (and that's similar to the response to 'can't we just edit the numbers' I gave you in the other thread). Programs don't just perform magic, ya know As for FireRed and Emerald, it looks like junk data. Take photographs of your carts (and put the photographs in a spoiler), and we can confirm if they are real or fake carts. It's possible that only Sapphire is a legitimate cart. (It's backed up properly and immediately works with PKHeX) If all your carts were determined to be real, re-download gba backup tool, try a few different versions. Sometimes using the corrupted backup tool would lead to corrupted saves.

Hey, any idea why GBA backup tool would do this? I've never seen anything like this before. @I_inject_crayons also it appears that your FireRed save and Emerald (from previous thread) aren't saves. Are you playing on fake carts? The dumping seems rather inconsistent.. In the mean time, I've changed your thread title.

The numbers are garbage data. They make no sense. Can’t edit what doesn’t make sense.

Presently, I'm under the assumption that the shadow data isn't actually stored on the XK3, but rather PKHeX refers to the "Shadow Monitor" in the save. Presently, the issue lies with a Shadow Teddiursa (ID 1), that isn't being recognized as a Shadow Pokémon on PKHeX. This save was taken at a point before I've unlocked the Purification Chamber.

If you want a save with all the Pokémon already redeemed, well we don't have such a save, but you can use PKHeX to inject them. If you want a save with all the events as Mystery Gift (before redemption), not possible, as there are not enough redemption slots. In case no one else replies to you, you can get USUM saves here, here, and here. What you requested, is something you can do for yourself. :3

Your title. No. Save file and and any new captures are not rendered illegal by TID modification. (Also, if you edit existing mons in PC/Party, isn't illegal as long as they don't have event OT/TID/SID)

Not for Gen 6 :3
