okay, i went ahead and transferred the data over. i didnt change the receive dates of the few gifts i have obtained but from what im observing thats not much of a big deal? unsure if you or many others have attempted this transfer but i'll keep the forum updated if i experience anything unusual (ban) lol ;D

No one has ever had an issue for that either.

hey all, been looking into this forum and just recently injected the platinum clothes, shaymin event and darkrai event into brilliant diamond on my modded switch. i was curious to know if anyone has transferred any of the save data of a modded switch (including a slightly modified one like this) to a switch 2, thanks

Yeah, save file transfers from switch 1 to switch 2 works with no issues, even after redeeming wondercard gifts.

Q) Can I follow this tutorial while being offline or with my EmuNand/Emulator?
A) No, this requires you to be online and connected to Nintendo official servers.
 

If I can connect to the servers on my emumcc on hacked switch to get mystery gifts will it still work? Is there any other problem with emulated cfw besides being able to connect to nintendo?

Connecting online on emunand will likely get you banned. Use a clean SysNand CFW. Emunand only purpose is to do bannable things, it isn't required in most of the scenarios.

No. Read the FAQs.

How do I create the rest of the files for the BTAC archive if the console can't access Nintendo servers to enter Mystery Gift or News?

Thank you so much for the reply! I guess I'll have to try that. Ok. Yes, they're version exclusive but Is there any reason why in the video on the first post it was possible to redeem both Shiny Zamazenta and Shiny in the same game? It also made me curious 

Korean codes would have allowed to redeem them in both the game versions, they were not version exclusives. Their wondercards were shared for both the games in the servers. In the Koraidon and Miraidon case, the wondercard for Koraidon is not available on Scarlet servers, and the wondercard for Miraidon is not available on Violet servers.

I'd like to ask something about this tool. I'm very new to all of this, I just recently modded my switch. As of right now in Pokémon Scarlet/Violet the Shiny Miraidon & Koraidon is happening through mystery gift codes. Is it possible to redeem both Miraidon and Koraidon without any codes by using this Gift Data Manager?

Yes, but they're still version exclusives. You'd likely have to redeem the Koraidon in Violet, and Miraidon in Scarlet.

1. I create a new save

2. Back it up 

3. Use switch-time and edit to the corresponding wonder card date 

4. Connect to the internet and redeem the gift 

5. Close the game and edit the time back to the normal time or to the next gift time? 

6. Repeat right? 

You can redeem all the gifts in the very same save file, no need to create new saves unless that's specifically one of your goals.

You can also change the internal time with switch-time while the game is running, between gift redemptions.

Just make sure to use consistent date / times, see FAQ 8.

regarding switch-time would it still be the tool to use or was it replaced through the Wonder Records Tool? 

Afaik the wonder record tool only works for a few titles, and unsure it let you edit wonder record dates, if that's the goal. Switch time would be the only solution to have correct dates in both the redeemed pokemon and the wonder records. SwSh and BDSP take the local date/time for received pokemon (though not for the wonder records).

Without any of that, is there no way to get HOME trackers at all?

Unfortunately, no. That's the whole point of Home trackers. You need to transfer the Pokemon you need from the correct games. Grab a 3DS with Bank and Transporter installed, and a 3DS game like USUM. They should be cheap these days. It's a better investment than paying someone to do the work for you. 

Miraidon and Koraidon are coded in the wondercards to have the same PID. The bulk analysis is meant to be a general analysis tool, doesn't take in consideration a bunch of things.

Your mons are good as-is

New about this. Can bots trade this to you?

Depends on the bot settings. If they force the Home tracker legality, then no, unless you have a valid PKM file with a valid tracker.

Edit: I guess you refer to the glitched variant with ribbons. No, it was unintended and any legality checker would say it's illegal. Bots won't trade illegal stuff.

PKHeX is a save editor for core-series Pokémon games. With it, users can manipulate various save files including: .sav, .dsv, .dat, .gci, .raw, and .bin types. PKHeX can also read and write: .pk files, which are individual Pokémon files, and .pgt, .pcd, .pgf, .wc, wcfull, which are Mystery Gift files.

Version 25.09.25 of PKHeX has been released, adding support for loading zip save files/folders and compatibility with new Mystery Gifts such as Shiny Miraidon/Koraidon and the Treasures of Ruin.

PKHeX now requires the .NET Desktop Runtime 9.0 to run. If you receive an error when trying to run, ensure you have it installed.

Please note that other related applications will still require time to update, and updated versions of plugins or SysBot may not be available immediately.

I'm afraid nothing can be done, RecoverSaveGen3 reports "MissingCriticalBlocks":

is there anyway to do this with a rom on pc using emulator like yuzu?

No, see the FAQs

SysNAND CFW is completely safe, there’s no need to boot into OFW (or to use EmuNand, unless the user is a pirate).

Nintendo generally only gives bans for piracy (or major offenses like cheating in online competitive play).

Use JKSV to transfer your save files from EmuNAND to SysNAND, and use SysNAND to redeem gifts.

Never connect to EmuNAND online, or you’ll get banned. EmuNAND is just an additional risk factor for bans, since users might confuse EmuNAND with SysNAND and try to go online from there. Don’t do it.

If you don't do piracy you don't need EmuNand. If you do, you'll likely get banned from here as well.

Hi I was trying to get to initialize the passphrase.bin on BDSP and followed all your steps but it is still showing up on my BCAT file. I can still connect to the internet but the "check for mystery gift" option is still greyed out. Do you have any advice on what I can do? 

The passphrase.bin file must be present in the BCAT.  
The option you see grayed out is most likely the one that displays the wonder records of your redeemed gifts.  

If you want to initialize the BCAT, you’ll need to try to redeem gifts from the official servers (without code/password). After that, dump the BCAT again.

Multigames carts/consoles are illegal. I'm locking the thread. 

Fire Red and Leaf Green do not have batteries. Only Ruby / Sapphire / Emerald have. 

You can either restore your save file in an original Diamond cart, and transfer up legitimately to a Gen 5 game, then to a Gen 6/7 game; or use PKHeX to transfer your mons into any gen 6/7 game, and transfer them to Bank directly.

Feel free to ask if you have questions on the process.

Which game/generation are we talking about?

Okay, I have already received the wondercard, can switch-time edit previously obtained wondercards?

You can hex-edit the Wonder Record block if you have the technical know-how. Everything known about it should be documented in this thread:

Also, is there a limit to how many wondercards the game stores? I am looking through my old wondercards, and I am noticing that the earliest wondercards I received before are not there anymore.

The record limit is determined by the size of the Mystery Gift record block. I'm not sure of the exact number, but yes, there is a limit.

Is there a way I can edit the received date of the WR (I cannot influence the received date by changing my switch's date) using the software?

You can use switch-time when you receive the wondercards, see the FAQs

These save files should be ready to catch the shadow e-reader pokémon, just import your mons and your items with PKHeX:
