Poke J

Only Pokémon caught, hatched, or from a gen 8 mystery gift event can enter into ranked battles. Therefore, none of those Pokémon in the save can enter. If you want to play in ranked battles you’ll need to obtain the Pokémon in Sword or Shield. You can’t bypass this since it’s a check on the server side.

Funny enough @TotalTSI've been working on this on and off over the day and I've come to the conclusion that it is nearly impossible to get the correct DVs for this Mew with just the picture. There are way too many assumptions that need to be made especially if the picture was only for publication. My first assumption was that it was like every other classic Mew distributed at the time with a DV spread of: HP = 5 Attack = 10 Defense = 1 Speed = 5 Special = 12 However, at level 39 the stats would not match that of an untrained Mew at the level which would mean that the Mew would have to have been in battle meaning that it would have acquired EVs. That said the possible EV spread for a Mew with the normal DVs and to have the listed above stats would be: HP = 961 - > 1848 Attack = 0 -> 8 Defense = 16129 -> 18224 Speed = 0 -> 8 Special = 1849 -> 3024 But, the issue here is the attack and special DVs are 0 -> 8 which is impossible consider the other EVs. The second assumption would be that the person leveled it up using Rare Candies and Vitamins and again that would be impossible since vitamins increase the stats EVs by 2560 points in gen 1 and the lowest possible HP EV is 1848. That would mean that the Mew was in battle and since the attack and speed EVs would be impossible for a Pokemon that saw battle which would mean that this Mew has a different set of DVs then the ordinary Mew given out at the time. So now that it is clear that this Mew has a different set of DVs then the known Mews what are the DVs? Well this is where the largest unknown of the equation comes into picture, how was this Mew trained? Just to get the first major hurdle out of the way the Mew in the picture has been trained. There is no DV combination that will give an untrained Mew at level 39 those stats considering the picture shows a defense stat of 96 when a Mew at the same level with a DV of 15 and EV of 0 will only have a defense stat of 94. Thus, the Mew has been trained. Now the question is how was the Mew trained? For simplicity I've come up with 4 possible scenarios for how the Mew could have been trained. Scenario 1 - Rare Candy and Vitamins: The problem here is we wouldn't be able to determine how many time the Mew was given vitamins. Scenario 2 - A new game file and the Mew was obtained as early as possible: This would be easy to test with putting Mew into every battle until it is at level 39. However, the problem with this scenario is that Nintendo Power needed a trained Mew for the picture and this method would probably take too long to get the desired result and the badge level cap for Pokemon obeying the player would probably be an issue. Therefore, probably unlikely. Scenario 3 - Got the Mew mid-game and trained it to level 39: Again easy to test, but the issue is badge level and slow in actuality; therefore, unlikely. Scenario 4 - Got the Mew at the end of the game and trained it to level 39: This one is the most believable scenario in my opinion since it would be fast due to high level wild Pokemon. However, there is still some unknown factors that would prevent someone from training a Mew to level 39 and then adjusting the DVs to match the stats in the picture. Even with scenario 4 sounding the most promising to find the DVs the next biggest issue would be what level did the Mew start at. Did they get it at level 5? What about level 10 or even level 15? We just don't know which makes the task at determining the DVs at this present moment all that more impossible. As well, non of my outlined scenarios might be right or could be a combination between then. We just don't know what the DVs of the Mew in the picture without more personal information about the player of that save file. Thus, bring me back to my opening statement that it is nearly impossible to find the DVs of the Mew just from the picture alone. Others are still welcome to try and determine the DVs, but this is just my take on the question and I could be missing an obvious piece of information that would make this task trivial.

The journal only comes up if the game detects that the last time you played was over 24 hours ago. I know you are soft resetting, but what was the last day you saved the game on? Was it over 24 hours ago? Try saving the game again and see if that fixes the problem. If it does fix the problem make sure you resave the game at the start of each reset session so the journal will not come up.

To get Lillie's Clefairy you will have to dump the RAM of the game during a battle when Clefairy is on the field. That way you have the chance to preserve data such as ID and SID that a code would discard (also considering the fact you don't battle Clefairy directly). However, you would probably need to run it on an emulator since I don't think there are any tools that can dump a hacked 3DS RAM. The Ribombee and Comfey you can easily extract by doing a multi battle with Lillie as your partner then save the battle video. Then dump the battle video and open it in PKHeX, however; if I remember correctly parts of the data for Pokemon encountered in the Battle Tree changes every time you do a new challenge and that will require you to hack your 3DS if it isn't already hacked. One thing I have learnt from dumping trainers Pokemon from past gens is that every Pokemon on the trainers team usually has a different ID and SID since NPCs don't get assigned a strict ID and SID combo from what I can tell. So using the data from the Lillie's Vulpix event will probably not be the same.

I'm not to familiar with PokeFinder, but does it give you the option to find a Method 1 spread? If you can search PIDs using Method 1 use that since the Lapras that you get in Silph Co. uses Method 1.

I've looked at it and as long as there isn't some factor at play that I am unaware of, I believe that this is an error on PKHeX's part.

In terms of your Safari Ball question only Pokémon that can be caught in a Safari Zone that you had to pay money to get into can be in Safari Balls. Therefore, anyone of those Pokémon can pass the ball down to their offspring. However, ball inheritance will always take the mother’s ball (excluding Cherish Ball and Master Ball) if the father isn’t the same species as the mother. If it is a male and Ditto combo breeding the male’s ball will be passed down. In the case that both Pokémon are the same species both parents can pass down the ball. If you need more information on what Pokémon can be in which ball please look at the provided link. https://www.serebii.net/games/pokeball.shtml

@LoganG I believe I've found the issue. It seems that your file path isn't correct. Every time I made a same file path as you it would corrupt the save so to fix that make another folder inside your Omega Ruby folder and place the main file in there. You can give the folder whatever name you want.

Sorry for the delay. Can you tell me if your file looks just like mine (red rectangle) and if your file path looks similar to mine (green rectangle) ignore the last part of my file path "current" since that is only how I labeled that save.

Try removing the .sav from the file name and leave the file named main.

It doesn’t matter where the files from, I need to know if the folder on your SD card that you put the save in if there are any other files in that folder.

Is there any other files besides the main in the folder that you are importing the save from?

@Helmschrot it seems the legality check didn't work properly since these Pokemon are not legal. Those starters can't be in any ball besides the standard Poke Ball.

@droidpersonif you just want a Pokemon with the hidden ability I could breed you a Litten with Intimidate. However, the Galar starters don't have their hidden abilities released yet so you'll have to wait for those ones to become possible.

@javisoto99it appears to be an error with the current version of PKHeX. I was able to replicate the issue multiple times with Ralts that I hatched in the Battle Frontier. For some reason PKHeX is detecting that the Battle Frontier is a Platinum only location and if the egg met conditions is changed to Link Trade (Egg) it will turn legal.

By chance could you upload the file here? It'll make it easier to determine the issue.

If you can extract them from the save there is a chance that you will not have to guess on any of the data it could all be there. That's if the party is transferred in it's entirety which there is a real possibility that may be the case. EDIT @DaisyWaisyI've done some looking into what data the game stores for the Trainer House and it is a lot less then I was hoping to find. None the less this was what I was able to decipher from my save. Several trainers can be stored in the section, but I don't know how many trainers can be stored. It looks like it is a lot more then the 5 trainers that are in the house. As well, the default trainer Ace Trainer Cal does not appear in this list. -The first part of one trainers block starts with a header that has the trainers name, ID, SID, and what I believe to be the selected trainer class. There seems to be a little more data in the header, but it seems unimportant for the Pokemon information. -Each Pokemon is about 34 bytes in the list with some being less and some being a little more. -The Pokemon data that is stored that I could determine at a first look through is in the following order is the Pokemon index number, held item, moves, ID, SID, PID, temp value (unused), moves PP, IV block, EVs, Ability, and Pokemon name. At the moment I couldn't find, but it has to be there is some value that is either the Pokemon's EXP or level.

You'll run into the same legality issues if you do that and using the AR code to catch that way will discard relevant information. That is why I mapped that RAM to preserve the important information. But, in your case I'd say first try to find the Pokemon in the save file. Even though I don't know how much of the Pokemon data is transferred to the Pokewalker, you can hope that the Pokemon in their entirety transferred during friend interaction. If not the RAM dump will be your best bet then,

You’ll need to dump the complete RAM when the Pokémon is on the field and then open the RAM dump in a hex editor such as HxD. Unfortunately, with that method it’s not really suited for this task since you will be missing vital data for legality. A better method is to find them in the save since I’m going to assume it will contain more complete data. If no one helps you by next Thursday I’d be willing to help you find them in the save since you’ve peaked my curiosity.

As far as I can see Pokémon House editing isn’t apart of PKHeX so you will not be able to use that to dump then. As far as I’m aware no one has done the research to find that in the save. Also if the save is empty you might not have dumped to save properly. If the save is dumped properly and you can load it up in an emulator you might find the attach thread useful to some degree. However, extracting them directly from the save will probably give better results.

You are correct on my inconsistencies. With Darmanitan I added both Zen Mode ones so I wasn’t aware that you didn’t need to deposit one with the ability to get the Zen Form to register. Furfrow I say the 1/10 mark, but didn’t realize I was missing the left and right arrows oops. Lastly, I checked and it turns out I transferred the unbound Hoopa.

@suloku from my experience the battle/item from changes are added once the Pokemon in its base form is deposited, with all other forms needing to be deposited in that form. Keep in mind that this is a list prior to the DLC and for Pokemon that you only have to deposit the base form to get all the forms that if you add a shiny base form you will not unlock the shiny version of all the forms EX) adding shiny Arceus will only add base form shiny Arceus to the dex. HOME does add the not Bankable/HOMEable and obscure forms. So here is my list to get all the forms.

@AliceTheAlice those two patterns are only in the list so if someone transfers those Vivillion to gen 7 they would retain the pattern. There is no location that the 3DS can be set to that will result in those Vivillion patterns.

I didn’t know other iOS users couldn’t see that challenge. Also I only completed the dex this morning since someone traded me a Zacian over the GTS.
