Slowbro I am not quite sure, but if you saw that it might be allowed already, Gmax Rillaboom isnt. You can give it a max soup and it will be allowed.
Not quite sure then on the slowbro .
Well, then he is lying. Gmax starters are not allowed yet.

Gmax galar starters are not legal yet. Thats the reason for rillaboom. Not sure if galarian slowbro is legal? But I would say it isnt, as it wasnt around when this season of ranked started
Can only question 1:
I personally havent heard of a proven ban from genned mons. Especially not a switch ban. In general the most important things to consider are:
- Use the newest version of PkHex
- Check if PkHex says the mon is legal.
I use a lot of genned mons myself and have no trouble using them .
Most likely the mons will just not be able to enter any online battles or trading and are not able to be transferred onto home (and if they do, they turn into a bad egg).
I have never ever heard of someone getting banned for having hacked mons.
Stupid save editing = Have pokemon with abilities they cant learn, give them attacks they dont learn, have them have more than 508evs etc. as long as pkhex tells you legal, you are good to go.
