The met date on redeemed events is the date that you set your Switch on, meaning it can legally be any date that the Switch allows. The wondercard is where the real-time date will be since that is set server-side, but theoretically there is no issues to have the date set as today. It will just look suspicious to others. If you somehow have a Galar Shiny Eternatus with a met date of November 22, 2025 and you suddenly start listing that you have the Shiny Eternatus on the real world date of November 22, 2025, and you've had no indication that you've had it before then, people will ask where you got it from. Remember, injecting wondercards is legal at best and shouldn't be claimed as legitimate when talking to others.

Bulbapedia claims that any events that were distributed to Green (JP) are mainly either Mew or Pikachu. There's a Fearow, Rapidash and Magikarp distribution too. As far as we know, there weren't any official distributions for the Kanto starters or any other Pokemon in Green. The OTs don't depict any special or event OTs either. Bulbasaur = キロロ = Kiroro Victreebel = モンキチ (hard to read) = Monkichi Nidoran = キョロ = Kyoro Charmander = ぽよよん = Poyoyon Metapod = キョロ = Kyoro These look to all be traded Pokemon.

It hasn't been made public yet, I'm trying to use it as trade material and an incentive to get information on Slowpoke and Shellder. I would like all 3 to be made public at the same time.

Where do you see this? There's 183 different Mew and the lowest TID is 27869, highest TID is 59094. Are you talking about something else?

From what I've seen, the only Pokepark Jirachi that are authentic is one set obtained by Rabby250 and is the basis on what the Bulbapedia information was updated with. The issue with it, is that he had already Pal Parked both of his Jirachis to gen 4 before sharing them to certain traders online with trade restrictions. So even from the Bulbapedia information, the held item is not known for it. It's known what PID algorithm they have, BACD_R_A, but the only reason it's not in the event galleries is because it hasn't been preserved in gen 3 and no one has shared an authentic one for the public. The Wish Chansey and Lickitung egg have invalid abilities which I have personally noticed for years and have been marked as valid for years by PP and Digiex, but I don't have an idea on where they came from or who obtained them. I remember asking Sabre about it when he made them public but I wasn't given any usernames for who donated them. We know how they're generated and they're easy to generate, Goppier and UndeadxReality have already created custom distributions to generate these eggs. But for public authentic donations, no one has really donated any. The Hadou Registeel is hacked/modified based on current PID algorithms. It came from the same place and same donation as the Regice which is marked as valid, and it's weird since you would expect the donator to either hack both of them or donate 2 authentic Pokemon, not hack one and donate another authentic one. The Hadou Regis are really something we need more donations for so the PID algorithms and data can be compared.

Yep. The article you linked is my research that a friend helped write and host on his site. We believe for both Absol and Pichu, they have the TID of 31031 and OT of カイチョウ. I've contacted all known winners on Twitter but no one is willing to share theirs or they haven't responded. A few people who have shown their's migrated to higher gens, like that Absol, have a weird language tag so it's very important to dump them for research.

Just in case you're still looking for an answer, yes these are all fakes. An authentic Shellder has surfaced about a year or two ago, it's got some proof and history of legitimacy so we're not looking for that anymore, but your Shellder doesn't match the authentic one. Thanks to Undead and Goppier, stats for Sandshrew and Slowpoke are known as well but not IV or PID information, and yours don't match either. The JEREMYs are all random wild catches in FRLG so they will need to match a wild encounter frame. The locations are known too, but because they're so low leveled there's no way to narrow down the possibilities without someone else sharing it to confirm.

Screenshots are just an example. Happens on Crown Tundra update too.

Porygon2 from a CHS language SwSh game is showing the wrong default nickname. I'm testing with VGC20 Porygon2 and the latest release. Pictures are from previous release but it happens in latest release too. My self-redeemed Porygon2 looks like this: And I have video proof redeeming this Porygon2, which also shows the same nickname in the video: When testing the wondercard, it shows a different nickname: Checked the Encounter Database and they all have the same nickname as the second screenshot. The wondercard page for VGC20 Porygon2 says it should have default nickname, so the first screenshot should be the default nickname.

If you are talking about updating the database with the correct ability, then yeah. Personally I don't believe the PID is wrong either. After researching the distribution for both Pikacafe tournaments and the attendees messages in September/October 2008, I believe the ability for Tangrowth was forced to be Leaf Guard. Forced as in regardless of the PID, similar to my conclusions for my research of the GTS 2009 events. Now the PID is something I don't have proof for, I don't have any Tangrowth that come from a reputable source, I only have circumstancial evidence. The Tangrowth I have traded for in 2009 and 2010 have a specific PID that's also shown on the faked PGT file above, the faked Korean wondercards that were recently mentioned on a different thread have the same PID, and I have not seen a different PID for a legal Tangrowth. A lot of the participants for the Tangrowth event come from Korean communities where cloning is very frowned upon, if not banned, so I don't believe they would be willing to share their self-obtained Tangrowths for research. In the tweet I posted, Orochi posted information on the Tangrowth he still has, and Orochi is on the PP Discord server, but he is a well-known uncloned trader who doesn't hack his games.

The PGT you are talking about is faked, it's based on assumed information. The PCD and PGT has never been contributed, I believe it was never even dumped by the receivers. The attendees I linked in the sources above have documented the Tangrowth very well and shown pictures of the Tangrowth's ability while at the event venue. I've contacted both Orochi and Necrophobia and they don't have the wondercard available, so I don't think it will be possible to receive the official PCD or PGT, but there is no need for the PCD or PGT to verify the ability because it was advertised at the event.

Yes, the Tangrowth's ability is correctly Leaf Guard. I have found multiple sources from people who originally went to the event that showed the ability of the Tangrowth. 1. Orochi is confirmed to be a participant in the event. He made it to the semi-finals and lost to the winner. 2. This person goes by Necrophobia, who was a +1 to a participant in the event, her brother named Zero (제로) shown in Group C above. She catalogued the distribution in good detail. https://blog.naver.com/hha512/70035591794 3. Xaewon (재원) in Group A traveled from outside of Busan to Seoul and documented his trip for the tournament well: https://blog.naver.com/xaewon/55995585 https://blog.naver.com/xaewon/56089988 https://blog.naver.com/xaewon/57219017 4. Flowerpot was a +1 to a participant to another semifinalist, Dream (드림) and has also stated the ability was fixed to Leaf Guard. https://bbs.ruliweb.com/family/515/board/300389/read/698622 5. https://m.blog.naver.com/chltjsrb503/150040922827 Back in 2009, I have never heard of a Chlorophyll Tangrowth. Chlorophyll is only assumed because the PID says it should be Chlorophyll. But there are 0 sources that say Chlorophyll. Edited with the sources saved on my computer. If you need more sources let me know, I was the one who updated Bulbapedia's listing of Tangrowth to the information I found.

This blog has been discussed before: We determined that even though there are a few legal-looking wondercards, some of them are definitely fake such as Regigigas' wondercard ID number. The Pikacafe wondercards match all the research I have found for them (Wondercard titles, descriptions, Tangrowth's ability), but the 3 Pikacafe wondercards listed in there are fake as well. Edit: Adding on to this, personally for specifically the Pikacafe wondercards, I would not trust them unless they came from a select group of people. The Electivire, Magmortar and Tangrowth were only given to 32 people at the location (16 tournament entrants plus their +1 they brought along to the event). I have a list of names of most of the people who attended, 17/32 names that attended Electivire/Magmortar, and 20/32 names that attended Tangrowth. Unless a wondercard has been sourced back to one of them, I would consider the Pikacafe wondercards to be faked even if most of its information lines up to my research. I'm unsure how many of those people were deep in trading circles, some may have traded out their Tangrowths back then but Korean wondercards in gen 4 needed to be backed up using a flashcart. Nowadays, it's very likely none of those 32 people kept their wondercards in the 3 viewable cards in the card album, and a lot of the Korean trading scene nowadays doesn't approve of hacking, much less cloning. So you would need to find someone in this group who attended and was deep enough in a trading scene to know how to extract their wondercard back then and hope that they have it kept somewhere. I have asked 2 people about their Tangrowths, and neither of them have kept their wondercard.
