Poke J

Gen 5 met data is still present in gen 8.

All of the met data is discarded and replaced during transfer to gen 5 so no it isn't stored anywhere in the Pokémon data. The only met data that doesn't get overwritten from gen 4 to 5 is when and how the egg was obtained if the Pokémon hatched from an egg.

Since the save is from an emulator it will be larger then the Virtual Console save; therefore, you'll need to open the save in a hex editor and trim the end of the save to be the same length as the Virtual Console save.

No, because it can't learn old moves anymore and can only learn moves that it would learn in Sword and Shield.

Because giving a Pokémon the battle ready symbol in game wipes all moves the Pokémon knew prior and replaces them with the moves it would learn by leveling up in Sword and Shield. That way legacy moves can't be used in competitive play.

@Atmosphaera yes battle version would be what you need to set. Since the only way to get that ribbon is to get to Master Ball rank in ranked battles and to only way Pokémon from past gens can go into rank battles is by having the battle ready symbol and a battle version set.

Did you give then the battle ready symbol first?

I know it works I’ve done it myself as well. I was wanting to know if the poster was trying to do that since that could be the source of thief issue and was trying to rule out scenarios to give them the best advice possible.

Are you attempting to inject a save from an emulator or cartridge into your Virtual Console?

I need a little more information, what part didn’t work?

@Radament 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.

My suggestions to you for the future is to edit an existing Pokémon and make sure you're paying attention to what moves that Pokémon can learn. Anyways the issues that you had with this Pokémon are 1) ability appears invalid, 2) move issues, and 3) you didn't add an encryption value to the Pokémon. So for future reference this is how you fix these issues: 1) Toggle the ability to either ability 1 or 2 then back to your desired ability should clear up that problem. 2) First make sure you're adding legal moves to the Pokémon. Second eggs, event (Pokémon from Mystery Gift), and some special encounter Pokémon have "Relearn Moves" which is the box under the "Current Moves" box in the Attacks tab. PKHeX can auto file this be holding shift + left click in the Relearn Moves box. 3) This is a personal pet peeve of mine when people don't do this, but very bottom of the OT/Misc tab is where you can set the "Encryption Constant" for the Pokémon. Initially for a Pokémon made from scratch this field is all 0s which yes is a valid encryption, but it's very suspicion if it remains all 0s. Here is the fixed Pokémon and I hope these pointers will help you in the future. 199-01 ★ - Ibn Sina - 1EB52B4B5EEA.pk8

You can make the Pokémon and add it to your party, but it will retain the stats calculated by PKHeX so at some point you'll need to deposit it into the PC since when the Pokémon is in the PC the game does not store its stats and will calculate the stats when viewed or withdrawn. This is different when the Pokémon is in your party since then the game will keep the calculated stats in memory. So ultimately you just need the game to recalculate the stats of the Pokémon and the easiest way is to put them into the PC.

@Delta Blast Burn, @Pokemaster9999999 DMed me earlier and it sounds like they’re trying to make Pokémon using an iPad. I’ve informed them that PKHeX does not your on iPad/iPhone.

I suck at the pronoun game so can you provide a little more information about your issue.

@Thother ball data is not recorded in gens 1 and 2 therefore the Poke Transporter assigns a regular Poke Ball as the ball it was caught in. With that said gen 1 and 2 Pokémon from the VC games can only be in a Poke Ball.

The script is translated because localization teams where probably given all of the game text and some context of what is happening (gen 1 context wasn't provided so there are translation issues) to translate into the other language. As far as anyone in the community is aware there aren't any developers of the games apart of the community here, so all we can do is speculate why it was never released outside of Japan. My guess that is that the Old Sea Chart was planned to be distributed for other languages, but the plan got axed by someone higher up in the company.

If you are trying to open the save to edit it, PKHeX will decrypt the save for you to edit and then encrypt in order to save the edits. But, if you're wanting a decrypted save for research purposes here is the save decrypted. PbrSaveData Decrypt

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/

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
