I once read about an issue where editing a pokémon's level can cause it to remain at its old level, but then any amount of EXP will cause it to level up constantly until it hits the edited level. It's just happened to me and I don't know why; I've edited levels before with no problems. Does anyone know what this issue is caused by?

Actually, it's the reverse.

Egg Hatched sets:

"(LOCATION)

Egg received."

Met At sets

"(LOCATION)

Egg hatched"

So a pokemon Met At Solaceon Town and Egg Hatched at DayCareCouple would read:

Day-Care Couple

Egg received.

Solaceon Town

Egg (apparently) hatched.

The download link is about halfway down. It was the third result on Google for "HyperGTS".

You could try using HyperGTS instead.

Looks ok to me, passes legality checker. You might want to input your own trainer name, though.

Thanks for the article link and clarification, RyuuShin - that will be useful in the future.

In this case, then, your Roserade is fine in terms of ability, Soldiviner

1.) Are you keeping sendpkm open?

2.) Does the IP address it gives you begin with 192?

It comes with the Legality Checker.

Eep, forgot about that. Natural Cure is Ability 1 according to Smogon (which I believe lists them in the correct order), so while your PID is still valid and legal, anyone poking into the file can see that it's not 100% legit.

Col/XD pokémon have the same odds of being shiny as any pokémon from the handheld games - namely 1/8192. I'm not sure when the shinyness of a Shadow Pokémon is determined, but that's moot in this case.

I had a go at making it shiny. Problem is, getting those exact IVs to be shiny is difficult, and since you've got Hidden Power I assume you picked them out for a specific type and power, and so you don't want to change them. From there it becomes a trial-and-error guessing game - change your ID or SID to something else, run the numbers through PID/IV Checker and hope that one of the results has your specific IVs. And the search process can take upwards of ten minutes to run...

Same deal with fixing the Ability I'm afraid - that particular combination of IVs won't generate a Female Timid Ability 1 Roserade, and it won't generate any of the other natures that you'd find beneficial (namely ones that increase Speed or Sp. Atk) either. Changing the IVs is the only way to get around it, and even that isn't foolproof.

I've only ever heard this called the "Obedience Bit", with "Fateful encounter" meaning that the data sheet just says "Met in a fateful encounter at level...".

Yes you can - you can snag one in Phenac City in . So the location data is fine.

I made a couple of fixes - contest stats, for one thing, because it's implausible to say it's won every contest while having 0 in all stats. But there really wasn't much wrong with it.

Roserade.pkm

Pokésav showed your Trainer ID as "ZA" - I can only assume that it's an issue with Pokémon Generator. I only use Pokésav so I've never encountered this issue.

Might be a stupid question, but are you trying to make this Azelf look hatched? Because that'll instantly mark it out as "hacked" to just about everyone.

The location data problem - once again, try it in Pokésav and not Generator.

AFAIK there isn't anything different about the Box eggs once they're Pal Parked over. The only indicator is before they're hatched on a GBA game, where the egg will read as coming from "the nice place".

Your location issue is easy to fix. Here's how it works:

Egg Hatched sets:

"(LOCATION)

Egg received."

Met At sets

"(LOCATION)

Egg hatched"

So a pokemon "Met at" Solaceon Town and "Egg Hatched" at DayCareCouple would read:

Day-Care Couple

Egg received.

Solaceon Town

Egg (apparently) hatched.

If you hatch them yourself (i.e. check "Is Egg" and walk around with it), the second field should be replaced (by the game) with where you were when it hatched, as normal, but I haven't tested it thoroughly.

Your trainer ID issue, I'm not sure about. Attach your PKM file to your next message and I'll take a look.

And the pokémon with their pokédex ID as ??? are ones that are not in the regional pokédex. The game will accept them (as you can freely trade between D/P/P and HG/SS from the start of the game, it's nothing unusual), but won't assign them a pokédex number until you get the National Dex.

Ah, yes - if I remember correctly, Smogon's pages list the abilities in the correct order - ability 1 first and ability 2 second.

In general, all pokémon except GBA legendaries and event pokémon should use Type 1 - Normal DS/GBA. Pal Parked pokémon can use Type 2 or 3.

I looked over your pokémon and they all seem to be fine.

As long as the legality checker says it's legal, then it'll pass Nintendo's check as well.

2006 10th Anniversary event; Latios and Latias were given out as event pokémon in the US and Europe. My own Lati pair are from this event, and bear the "Fateful encounter" tag.

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_10th_Anniversary_event_Pok%C3%A9mon

Lati@s were given out as event pokémon during Gen III, so they can have Fateful Encounter in the GBA games, but I don't think this is kept when they're Pal Parked over.

But don't get into the habit of making everything an egg. It's going to look fishy

How so? As long as there aren't any obvious mistakes, like a hatched legendary, a team of hatched pokémon would look perfectly legitimate to most people. A lot of people breed extensively to get good IVs and natures, especially for pokémon that are difficult to catch or that you only have one of. Only someone who took the time to look at it with Pokésav would see that the PID doesn't match up.

A team of all shinies, or all 31 IVs, is a lot fishier IMO, as it would require a huge amount of grinding to do.

As Mewtwo is caught in a cave, set 85h to 05.

Usually I don't touch 85h, because most of my hacks are set as hatched rather than caught (it makes it easier to pass Legal) and the code for a hatched pokémon is 00.

Good, I'm glad you got it working.

Don't launch Sendpkm until right before you say "Yes" to connecting to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. This often helps make the process go smoothly.

PID-IV Generator. You can download it from the front page of this site. Enter the IVs and the nature and it'll present you with a list of PIDs matching it.

Pokésav will also do this; click the PID/IV button and hit Generate, and it'll give you a list of natures (and gender, ability and algorithm type) that match the IVs you've entered.

Red = female

Blue = male

Green = genderless

If the colour changed after you altered its PID, you chose a PID that matches up to a different gender than what you started with.

Pokésav doesn't judge legality, only Legal does that.
