That's probably it then. I guess they changed the rules for how it works between Gen 7 and Gen 8

Gotcha, thanks for the info! I was a bit worried for a moment.

Well, I'm not sure what the issue is at all now. I'm able to trade the non-shiny legendaries (caught in USUM) even though they appear to have the same markers in pkhex, I can also trade other event pokemon like Zeraora, Celebi, etc. Is it possible that shiny event Pokemon can't be traded in SwSh?

So I transferred some legitimate event Pokemon (Shiny Sogaleo, Lunala, & Necrozma) via Home to Shield with the intention to clone them and share them with my friends. However, when attempting to trade, I get the "There is a problem with this Pokemon, it can't be traded etc etc" message. I'm unsure as to why this is happening, as I've used these same Pokemon on every online feature in Gen 7 without an issue, they're 100% legit as far as I'm concerned, but I can't trade the Originals or Clones. I'm unsure as to how I was able to move them through Bank and Home if there's an issue with them, I haven't had this issue with other transferred Pokemon. I'm getting these 3 invalid messages in pkhex when I check to see why I might be having problems, and I'm unsure about how to fix it. I'm assuming these are the root of the problem. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
