This is incorrect. The ribbon does not appear to be obtainable, despite being described as being granted randomly via Surprise Trade. PKHeX flagging it as illegal is accurate, because it IS illegal until proven otherwise. Similarly to the Item Finder mark, the developers appear to have forgotten to code any way for it to be granted ingame.

As I said, it seems unlikely to be enabled at all, even if the logic was intended to be server-side. If the official guidebook claims the chance for it to be granted is 1/100 was accurate, we should have seen thousands upon thousands of people reporting having obtained it. To date, no one has come forward with a legitimately obtained one, including several youtubers and streamers who personally performed thousands of Surprise Trades (a statistically significant amount, the chances of them not having obtained it at least once is astronomically low if it was actually enabled) without seeing it granted even once. We've seen very, very few people claim to have found one, and all of the Pokémon that it has been seen on so far were very obviously hacked, so the ribbon was likely assigned by cheating before it was traded, not by the server during the trade.

No. While the official guidebook claims the chance for it to be obtained is 1/100 from Surprise Trade, no logic appears in the game to grant it, and players with tens of thousands of Surprise Trades performed haven't reported seeing it, ever. It appears that GameFreak forgot to program a way for it to actually be obtained, along with the Item Finder Mark, which is similarly unobtainable.

Use the encounter database under Tools > Data if you're unsure of what is legal. Alternatively, obtain a legitimate egg ingame, and look at it in PKHeX to see what values exist there.

FAQ Do I need EmuNAND for my Switch? EmuNAND is only if you want to do potentially bannable things offline. You do not need one if you are not doing bannable things. None of the projects here need to be run on EmuNAND, particularly if you want to go online, and we generally will not provide support for whatever you are doing on one. Can I go online on EmuNAND? This is not recommended even if you haven't done bannable things on it, especially if you've been online on SysNAND. Uploading mismatched system logs to Nintendo, or clearing your system logs, is bannable. Is it safer for me to edit in SysCFW and then boot in OFW? These are the same partition. Editing in SysCFW writes to the same place that OFW boots from. Bannable things are still bannable in OFW. It can be slightly less safe to boot into OFW after SysCFW due to telemetry reasons, but bans have not been connected to this. What if I already created an EmuNAND? You can reformat to erase it and reclaim space, or simply ignore it and stick to using SysNAND.

I can't replicate "nothing showing up" in the latest version of PKHeX. Here's the results for filtering for Ditto, Violet as the OT Version, and Static only. These 4 ditto are all 4 raid encounters "in a crystal cavern". Make sure you're selecting your filters properly, and you're using the Encounter or Mystery Gift Databases. The "PKM database" is a separate feature.

The encounter database is already there. Set your filters and hit "Search" to have results appear.

This Primeape appears legal in the latest version of PKHeX. Please don't report issues with outdated versions of PKHeX. Edit: I misread. I'm not sure whether this is an issue with PKHeX flagging it as legal when it's actually illegal, or if GameFreak has an issue with their whitelist.

Use the encounter database until Tools > Data instead of trying to make stuff from scratch. Additionally, Tera Raid pokemon have a PID that is correlated to their IV, HT/WT, EC, Nature, etc, which means their stats cannot be altered without recalculating the others via an RNG calculator such as Tera Finder: https://github.com/Manu098vm/Tera-Finder/

The encounter you selected is a fixed symbol encounter, not a wild symbol encounter or Mass Outbreak encounter. Fixed symbol encounters cannot obtain marks, excluding size marks and marks that can be earned post-capture like Parnter or Gourmand. Select a different encounter from the encounter database, it has to be a standard symbol or Outbreak encounter to be permitted to have marks.

Yes. Eggs are already fully determined when obtained, so PKHeX can see if it contains a shiny. Also instead of asking this you could have just, opened your save in PKHeX and looked.

We are not currently permitting SV savefiles to be shared, because we are unsure if it's safe. Past games like Legends Arceus have had savefile verification for publicly uploaded saves and it may pose a ban risk.

A valid PID can be found by using Pokefinder. Gen 3 > Static > Searcher, set the filters for HP of 19 to 19, Atk of 4 to 4, leave the rest of the IV filters unchanged, Ability to 0, and Nature to Brave. Any PID from the list that appears when you hit "Search" should be valid.

How do I generate an evolved Maushold (Family of Three) or Dudunsparce (Three-Segment)? Both of these Pokémon forms have specific Encryption Constant requirements (modulo 100). You can target them in the batch editor with: Maushold (Family of Three) =Species=946 .EncryptionConstant=$rand0 Dudunsparce (Three-Segment) =Species=917 .EncryptionConstant=$rand0

Use the encounter database under Tools > Data to search for an Antique Form encounter. You cannot just change the form of a Phony Form one you've caught, they have different encounter conditions.

If you're doing RNG abuse in Gen 3, or manually calculating the PID, PKHeX isn't going to have any options to automatically set the correct PID for you. In newer games that don't have PIDIV, you can use the batch editor command ".EncryptionConstant=$rand0" to set an EC with the correct value, but with Gen 3 and 4 that would violate PIDIV and cause PID mismatch

No. For Three-Segment Dudunsparce from a Gen 3 Dunsparce, you need: If PID is in decimal format: PID mod 100 == 0 If PID is in hexidecimal format: PID mod 64 == 0 The symbol % refers to a Modulo operation, not division.

They are unused, but Tera Raid Pokémon have a PIDIV relationship and therefore Height/Weight are factored into legality checks.

The Obedience Bit is labelled in PKHeX as "Fateful encounter" under the Met tab. If you're unsure of how to generate a pokemon, use the encounter database under Tools > Data, set your filters, and hit search.

In Scarlet and Violet, if a Pokémon doesn't match your trainer data exactly (Trainer ID, Secret ID, Game Version, Trainer Name, Trainer Gender, etc.), it will display the language tag even if it matches your language. All "traded" or otherwise Outsider Pokémon do this.

The data that determines whether they would appear Star or Square in SWSH exists regardless, but all shinies in SV have the same animation.
