-1 is the magic number for "can be random".

If you are too specific with your request, like having 6IV adamant for a gen3 wild encounter, then it will fail to find anything. When it can't find anything to satisfy your specific request, you need to be less specific. Click the Reset button to see what an unspecified criteria is -- IVs are frequently a reason why a criteria is impossible to satisfy.

Use the Criteria tab and ensure it is filled out the way you want. Hardy is the 0th nature, and it is the default nature of the Pokémon when you launch the program. It seems you're not specifying your criteria, thus the program is always trying to match the initial default from tabs since you forgot to specify it.

Please check the status of the event flag I listed at the end of my message. I am still skeptical that you didn't accidentally change the flag's state when trying to activate Mewtwo.

Then restore a backup from before you cheated, and don't modify the event flags. PKHeX mentions this at the bottom of the event flag editor: You probably turned off `FLAG_PHOTOMODE_ENABLE` (032AD99537C6091F). You really shouldn't have contacted Nintendo/Pokémon support for help after cheating.

Did you cheat to unlock Mewtwo, or use any cheats/save edits on the file previously?

Welcome to research. Save files are just bytes of data, nothing is labeled unless a human figures out what a block is for and adds it to the accessor label list. There is no plugin, it is a black box where the onus is on you to figure out new labels. You repeat actions in games to see what changed, then you go look at individual blocks to see if it was storing a value somewhere. Use the Dump tab to inspect individual blocks in the currently loaded save file.

Hover over the Pokemon in your box/party to see the information that PKHeX infers. Not sure which encounter you are referring to, if one isn't displayed. If not displayed, there either isn't a detectable seed/correlation or it isn't computationally feasible to find (milliseconds vs minutes).

Again, PokeFinder assumes you are using Sweet Scent to trigger, and does not check if you can trigger it manually via steps/turns.

It's either not stored in the save file, or not documented (therefore nothing implemented in the program). Features only get added to the program once the game behavior/storage structure is documented.

The internal flag names dump is at least 5MB, which 99.99% of users do not need. The dump is provided in the development discord channel.

This is mentioned in the changelog/release notes circa 11/16: - - Crossovers are not currently handled for detecting location IDs. Generating from encounter template is 100% legal.

I extended the file size to the correct size (4x'd) then ran it through the recovery program which does some filling in of blocks. projectpokemon/RecoverSaveGen3: Try and recover a Gen3 save file via c onsole app! Pokemon Fire red.sav

Gen3 save files are 128KB, not 32KB. If that was the size you configured, then an insufficient amount of save data was retained, hence the error. Since you're missing 75% of the required save data, it's probably better to start over with a fresh save that is configured correctly.

PKHeX is built to support unmodified game save files. PKHeX cannot know what changes you've made to the ROM. Since you are playing a ROM hack, the modifications by the patcher likely changed more than just bypassing trade evolutions. It probably mirrored ability slots (wrong, a single-ability species needs XX-00 not XX-XX). Changing the ability selection will cause the program to recalculate a PID, hence the second image. Copy the PID, then fix the ability index, then paste the original PID back.
