I suppose you can't ever use a dumped file that has as dry battery or else it will corrupt the save file on an emulator and physical cartridge, unless you replace the battery. Very disappointing PKHeX doesn't work right for that sort of thing, I guess I can't use that game and just have to use something with a fresh battery or no battery and hope no corruption happens to the physical cart from editing. I don't know hex editing or coding, so I have no way to edit the file to prevent it from adding an extra 1kb.

So there's no way to disable this in mGBA? And why is the save still getting corrupted after switching to another emulator that keeps the save file at 128kb and doesn't add an extra line?

I made a dump of my Sapphire's save file with a Joey Jr. I loaded it up in mGBA to make sure everything is ok, and I opened the .sav in PKHeX to add 2 pokemon to my PC (10 Anniversary Celebi and Wishmaker Jirachi.) But when I open the game in mGBA, it says my file was corrupted and loads the previous save file which is... not exact? Like my save position is in the same area but off by a few steps away, and my party that originally had 5 pokemon in it was moved to the PC and exchanged with the last 6 pokemon in the box, making it look like they switched places. The pokemon I added in PKHeX don't show up at all in the PC, but still show up in PKHeX just fine. But if I save the game in mGBA and attempt to open it in PKHeX again I get the following error: Attempted to load an unsupported file type/size. File Size: 131088 bytes (0x20010) I've noticed that untouched or edited in PKHeX first, my Sapphire files appear as: Sapphire.gba (16,384 kb) Sapphire.sav (128 kb) But if I save in mGBA, they look like this: Sapphire.gba (16,384 kb) Sapphire.sav (129 kb) mGBA makes the .sav 129kb instead of 128kb for some reason? Which confuses PKHeX? But not saving in the emulator is fine, but corrupts the player position/what's in the party and PC gets swapped if I edit the save in PKHeX? I've never seen this before. I'm not sure if this has to do with the RTC, as my copy of the game has a dry battery and mGBA seems to fix it because I don't see the dry battery message when I boot up. There's no issues with the pokemon in PKHeX either, they're just event pokemon and pass legality. Is there a way to fix this or am I doing something wrong? I just wanted to backup my save file and add event pokemon with PKHeX and save it to my physical game with the Joey Jr afterwards. EDIT: I tried using a different emulator, Visual Boy Advance, and it still corrupts/bugs out after editing the save in the exact same way with PKHeX, despite the .sav file being the same 128kb.

What I mean is this box outlined in red here: If they're correct, then I should be able to find them here and when they generated. I don't know the natures of Rayquaza, Altaria, or Flygon, but I know Swampert, Kyogre, and Delcatty's are Brave, Mild, and Relaxed respectively. They're not showing up.

You sure those are the correct PIDs? I'm not able to find their IVs using them on RNGReporter; no results are coming up, even when I input the nature.

Some do appear in this Ruby's hall of fame actually: Swampert, Delcatty, and Kyogre (and out of those 3, Delcatty is the only one I physically have because it was transferred to Gale of Darkness before I lost the game itself: The data is slightly different though. Other than level, I don't know what else is different between the hall of fame mon and secret base mon. I know from memory that Swampert in particular has all the beauty contest ribbons and the artist ribbon and might've maxed its contest condition stat. But I can't read pokemon data very well, nor do I know how to find it within a rom or emulator exactly

Glad to know I'm not alone :'D that's the reason why I started this thread, I'm trying to get a mon or 2 back from KIMMY's base as I no longer have the original cartridge; this Ruby file has the last remaining records of them. I've tried the Roamer Glitch to try and catch them back, but they just turn into bad eggs, even when I set my name/ID/SID to the same data. There's a video that had someone getting a mon's data through the Hall of Fame, and was wondering if something similar could be done for secret bases. I remember some stuff such as nature, but if I just had the PID at least I think I could find the IVs in RING Reporter/PokeFinder and recreate them from scratch. The only loss would be the ribbons and contest stats.

I don't know what information your tool is actually reading from because a lot of this is incorrect. In particular, all the SIDs are wrong, and a lot of pokemon (and held items) are ones that don't appear in their teams at all. Example: KIMMY's ID/SID combo is 50587 / 08473, not 50587 / 00197. That trainer's party consists of (in order): There is no Absol, Gulpin, or Shroomish in that trainer's party. I can even battle them and see that in-game, so I don't know how you got your info with your tool.

I know, but the issue is that I don't have nor know where to find the PID. I have the trainer's ID and SID, but no PID of the pokemon.

Damn, really? I was hoping for both PID and IVs since there was one pokemon's data I was trying to get ahold of, that being a Swampert.

So... is there really no way to read this data at all? There was another thread posted here that asked the same question and someone said that some of the data could be there, and I know someone else managed to get the data of a pokemon through hall of fame records so it must be possible. Unless secret bases are just that one thing that hold basically nothing of the originals aside from the basics for battling the secret base trainer...

I'm dumb and forgot to do this, but here's my Ruby save file, saved right next to a base whose party data I wanna know in particular. Is there anyone or any tools that can help me out? Pokemon - Ruby OldSave.sav

I'm trying to read the party data of some secret base trainers to see information such as their pokemon's IVs, EVs, nature, PID, Contest stats, Ribbons, etc. I don't know if the game holds all of that when you mix records, but is there someone or a program out there that can find and show all this information? I can't read code in an emulator to know what I'm looking for.

Thank you! I couldn't get PKHeX to run so this really helps

Didn't want to necro an existing thread on this topic, but I have 2 MYSTRY Mews and wanted to check their legality and PIDs. I can't figure out how to look for them in the provided file, so I was wondering if someone could help me out. I figured out their stats+other info if it helps identify them: Mew (1): OTG: Male Nature: Sassy Hidden Power: Fighting HP: 30 Atk: 20 Def: 14 Sp.Atk: 4 Sp. Def: 6 Spe: 30 Mew (2): OTG: Female Nature: Jolly Hidden Power: Rock HP: 9 Atk: 18 Def: 14 Sp.Atk: 13 Sp. Def: 10 Spe: 6 Any help is appreciated
