If we're going by written by me, only the 3DS ones (as per what I recommended earlier). The NDS ones are "visual only", and won't carry into future titles or unmodded games (pretty sure I have that specified in the guide too). The other trainer's name. It literally just stores the name. Not trade. Transfer. You cannot trade directly from 3DS into Switch. PKHeX allows conversion of pk7 into pk8 by dragging the mons from a gen 7 save (or any other generation, really) into a SWSH save.

Either works. Even if your mon was illegal, unless it is super illegal, you won't get obliterated by HOME or Bank. They got terrible hackchecks. However, for the sake of discussion, I'll be continuing with a 'strictly completely legal and correct' mindset. For the record, for most mons, the met date of a mon don't truly matter; they could be met at any date due to the fact you can change your NDS/3DS to a large date range. So they just need to caught within the date range. Going by your example. Suicune received on 31/01/2022 Gen 4. Suicune -> Gen 5 (via Relocator) -> Met date changes to 02/01/2022 [Met Date changes with Relocator/Poke Transfer] I will recommend against using cheats. A lot of games have PID correlations for the mons. While Gen 5 isn't one of them, there's a weird quirk with the PID having to end with odd/even due to OT Gender or something, and the cheats tend to ignore that. The 'shiny rate 100%' for 3DS games we have is probably a better option, just don't use it with wonder cards. As long as your trainer name and nickname don't have weird characters, that would be a purely optimal option. Tools > Data > Dump Boxes in the Gen 4 save, then Tools > Data > Load Boxes in the Gen 5 save. If I'm not mistaken PKHeX should do it for you. If it doesn't, then yeah remove those items with batch editor. Do note that some forms are dependent on items, so check through all your mons after that. Same thing, just trade the mon into another save, and change the Species. The key difference in Gen 6 and up is you need to fill in the field Latest (Not OT) Handling Trainer. If this field is empty, this mon hasn't been traded. Also, I don't think I've answered anything pertaining to Gen 8?

If anyone has an idea, and wanted to reply, they would have replied. Stop bumping the thread if you're not getting a reply

Please be patient, I had other things to do that took priority. Anyway, looking at the save, it doesn't look like you saved into it. Please save using the game's menu, instead of state saving using the emulator.

upload the save here.

upload said save.

Assuming the EC of the original you uploaded was unmodified, I restored the original stats. Anyway, it appears that the Carkol encounter has no guaranteed stats. The way the RNG in SWSH works, is that if there's no guaranteed stats, you cannot have flawless IVs. It was a simple fix. Just give it the original stats, then hyper train all that aren't 31. Functionally they are the same in battle. 839 - Coalossal - 4B28249A5FD3.pk8

I can’t remember if the Carkoal static has guaranteed IVs. I’m assuming not. Stuff without guaranteed IVs can’t roll for flawless. Anyway good luck. It’s not rocket science, but you definitely need to have patience and some reading ability to tackle it.

There’s no need to fear the worst as long as you edit it correctly. just have whatever random IVs the encounter can have, then hyper train the rest. In this day and age, there’s no real reason for flawless IVs.

I was editing the post to include the link. It’s up now XD

Check our tutorials on PID mismatch. Note that not every encounter scenario can yield 6 perfect IVs.

Maybe fix the PID issue.

I can’t be sure, but seems reasonable. Remove the caught/seen in Pokédex, then load that save, and send a Spinda out in battle. Win the battle, check the Pokédex, then check if it only shows the one you sent out to battle.

I guess the question is if that is intended behaviour for the Pokédex. You’ve got a save that hasn’t been hacked before?

Pre Gen 6, it’s appearance is based on PID. Gen 6 and above, it’s appearance is based on EC. It’ll only “change every time” if you changed those every time.

Well, if you're not playing on your Emunand, restoring to your Sysnand is enough. Glad it all worked out.

Well in the context of Pokemon, I recommend not doing anything that the server may notice. They log saves from time to time, so don't change anything that is not meant to be mutable. Like your OT, or your SID, or your trainer model/skin, that kind of things. This also extends beyond the context of Pokemon. Don't pirate games, don't install impossible themes, stuff like that.

From my experience, yes. I'm purely CFW on Sysnand. I go online and do some online competitions and stuff. Just don't do super illegal stuff in more ways than one. Still, my experience may differ from others. It is all at your own risk.

Atmosphere FSS0 SYS refers to launching CFW (Atmosphere) in Sysnand (SYS)

Is something like this not there?

Have a new current backup before reformatting the SD card before copying the current Sysnand into a new Emunand. Both the contents and the existing Emunand. You wouldn't want to lose anything.

You won't have to recreate Sysnand. You just need to recreate Emunand based on current Sysnand. I'll advise backing up the SD first. As for launching CFW in Sysnand, I *think* Hekate has the option in the boot menu. If it doesn't, another way is to completely remove Emunand. A rather nuclear options in my opinion.

Well, normally if you use CFW in Emunand, you only make changes to Emunand. I'm guessing you were used to making changes in Emunand and seeing them actually change stuff in Sysnand. That observation is a bug, not a feature. The way I described in the past is something like 'think of your Emunand and Sysnand as separate profiles. They were meant to be separate. However, both your Emunand and Sysnand profiles were sync'd, so the changes carried over. Somehow or rather, maybe a game update or FW update, caused the Emunand and Sysnand profile to now desync, hence the changes no longer carrying over'. So either launch CFW in Sysnand, or recreate your Emunand based on current Sysnand. All at your own risk, of course :3

If I were to take a guess, you're trying to restore the save into your Sysnand, using Emunand CFW, is that correct? If so, can you launch the game in Emunand CFW and check if the changes are there?

Do you happen to use Emunand on your Switch?
