Nope I'll be of no help here since my Switch isn't hacked. Have you tried looking for a Discord server that has a sysbot? If I remember correctly you can offer a Pokémon to the sysbot and it will give you the PK8 file and then you can edit the Pokémon. Afterwards you can get it to trade you the edited Pokémon back. But, from what I've been told there could be a queue that you'll have to wait in before the sysbot can serve you.

Sorry, I missed that point in the OP.

All you need to do is click on the gender symbol next to the PID to change the gender of the Pokémon.

Have you tried playing around with this tool that allows you edit the iso file?

There is no legitimate way to convert pk4 to pk3, but if you can dump both save files you could use PKHeX to remake the Pokémon on the gen 3 save. There is also this tool that can convert pk4 to pk3, but you still need to be able to dump both saves. https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/2240-pk2pk-a-time-capsule-transfer-tool/

@savememan I'm not a mod here, but it is against the rules to upload ROMs on this forum. I suggest you remove the file from your post.

It appears that when Galarian Yamask is changed to Runerigus the drop down to set its form doesn't initially appear. To fix this you need to set Runerigus to a spot on your save then view it again for the form drop down to appear. Then you just need to set the form to 49. Anyway here is the Runerigus. 867 ★ - Darius - 70B400000000.pk8

Just change the species to its evolved form.

If you are referring to Galarian Articuno then the issue is it is shiny locked same with Glastrier. The methods outlined in the OP are only for Pokémon obtained during Dynamax Adventure mode.

Answer to your questions: 1) Yes you can edit that without changing your odds. Just different PIDs now will result in a shiny Pokémon then with a different ID and SID combo. 2) Yes that is legal and can be obtained through normal game play. Though the combo will look suspicious to other people who might look at the data of the Pokémon. 3) Yes you can get shiny Pokémon through normal means and will only effect which PIDs will result in a shiny Pokémon.

You'll need to get it so the XOR = 1.

@NAB the issue is the Pokémon is from the Max Lair and is a square shiny. Pokémon from the Max Lair can only be star shiny with XOR = 1. Easiest way to get a PID where the XOR = 1 hold down the Control key on your keyboard and then click the shiny button on PKHeX. Once you fix that you'll need to zero out the HOME Tracker value.

Volcanion and Genesect can not be caught in the wild in any game and only Genesect has its shiny version available from a gen 5 event from Japan.

Similar to the generation 4, the third generation games does not encrypt Pokémon data in the RAM; therefore, making the process of finding Pokémon data during battles becomes relatively easy. As outlined on Data Crystal’s “Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen:RAM map” enemy Pokémon start at index 0x0202402C and party Pokémon start at 0x02024284 in the RAM with each Pokémon consisting of 100 bytes. However, only the first 80 bytes is important for extracting Pokémon from the RAM with the structure looks like this. Table: Additional Reading and Resources:

When dragging from one game save to another PKHeX basically make a temporary .pk1 file and pk1 files don't store game version metadata. The only reason the Bank does this correctly is because Bank reads what game save it is importing Pokemon from and adds that metadata when it converts the Pokemon to the gen 7 format. Basically the Pokemon is converted to a gen 7 format when the gen 1 save data is still stored in the app. So when you use PKHeX with two windows open the two open windows don't communicate with one another; therefore, when importing a gen 1 Pokemon to gen 7 PKHeX it only reads th
