This guide to resolve any issues users get when they try to change their stats of Pokémon from Gen 9 Raids. We are against the use of cheating at the expenses of unaware players. Do not use any edited Pokémon online! Foreword The reason why people get various unable to match an encounter messages, is because they did not modify the Pokémon correctly. In Generation 9, due to an in-depth understanding of how the pseudo-random number generator (RNG) works, the Personality Value (PID - which among other things determines a Pokémon Shinyness) for Raid Pokémon is tied to various others values related to the Pokémon generation procedure in-game, such as Individual Values (IVs), Gender, Ability slot, Nature etc. Legality checkers can tell whether the stat correlations are valid. Requirements: Windows PC The .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0 installed in your computer Latest version of Tera Finder Steps: Launch Tera Finder, either as a PKHeX plugin or as a standalone app. Click on the Raid Calculator button (if using Tera Finder as PKHeX plugin, it's located under Tools -> Tera Finder Plugin -> Tera Raid Viewer/Editor -> Raid Calculator). Fields Explanation: Seed - Raids in Scarlet & Violet are determined by a 32bit RNG seed, which the game uses to generate Pokémon details/stats and Raid Rewards based on its internal Encounter/Reward tables. Encounter Species, Raid Stars, Rewards, IVs, Nature etc are all tied to the Seed. Content - The Raid Content Type. Different Content Types have different encounter tables. Standard is for 1-5 Stars raids from the base Game. Black is for 6 Stars raids from the base game. Event is for 1-5 Stars raids from Raid Events/Poké Portal News. Event-Mighty is for Unrivaled 7 Stars Raids from Raid Events/Poké Portal News. Show All Results - If disabled, stop the search after the first result that matches the filters. Ignored if no filter is set. Game Info - Save File infos. The encounters can be different based on those infos. Particularly, the Game Version and the Game Progress differentiate the species available. TID and SID will determine PID mutations for Shinyness. If a Save File is loaded into the program, those fields are filled with data from the Save File itself and can not be modified. If no Save File is loaded, users can edit the Game Info fields at their will. Event Index - This field is used only by Event and Event-Mighty Raids. Each Poké Portal News has up to 10 different Delivery Group IDs. These IDs are known as Event Index, and they're responsible, among other things, to the Species determination. When a Save File is loaded or a Remote Device is connected, Tera Finder does its best to determine a proper Event Index based on the currently selected Raid in the Viewer/Editor window. Users can eventually manually input a different Index for the calculations, if they desire so, but please do note that this modification will not take any effect to the Raid Editor. If using the Raid Calculator without a Save File loaded / Remote Device connected, users have to input the correct Event Index by themselves. This is usually either 0, 1 or 2. Filters - Pretty self explainatory. Users must set filters based on the wanted Result they want. EC serves for Tandemouse and Dunsparce form determination upon their evolution. The EC % 100 = 0 option will make them to evolve into Maushold Family-Of-Three and Dudunsparce Three-Segment. Set Content, Filters and the Game Info based on the result you want. Notes: The Game Progress determines the Stars tiers available as follows: Unlocked Tera Raids: Stars tiers available: 1-2. Unlocked 3 Stars: Stars tiers available: 1-2-3. Unlocked 4 Stars: Stars tiers available: 1-2-3-4. Unlocked 5 Stars: Stars tiers available: 3-4-5. Unlocked 6 Stars: Stars tiers available: 3-4-5-6. Event Data is loaded from a loaded Save file. If no valid event data is detected, the tool can not generate Event or Event-Mighty raids. Users can eventually import Event Raids (known as Poké Portal News) with the Poké Portal News Importer. Check this page to see the available encounters in the base rom for each Stars tier, or this page for the event encounters. If you're searching for Shinies and you want to keep your TID and SID, set your Trainer details properly in the Game Info section. Set a Max Calc amount (waiting times for the calculations will be higher depending on that amount; an higher amount will increase the chance to find the wanted results) and click Search. Wait for the calculations to finish. If there are no results, either the encounter you're requesting is not possible at all, or you'll have to increase the Max Calcs amount. There are scenarios where the stats you want would be impossible. Learn to adapt to such scenarios. Once you found a viable result, select (left click) the seed you want, right click over it to open the option menu, and select one of the following option: Send Selected Result to PKM Editor (option available only if using the PKHeX plugin) to have a legal PK9 sent to the PKHeX window: Save Selected Result as PK9 to export a legal PK9 file, then import it to the PKHeX window by Drag & Drop: You should now have a legal Pokémon with the wanted stats. Enjoy!!

N.B: This tutorial will focus on Tera Finder. Experienced users can also consider using RaidCalc (a fast C++ multiplatform seed calculator) and/or the PKHeX built-in raid parameter editor. Requirements: Windows PC An hacked Switch with Atmosphere CFW running on the system Latest version of Tera Finder Steps: Load your game on your Switch, save in-game and export your save file (guides here). N.B.: It is important you do save in-game during the same day you want to do the editings. Not doing so may result in seeds re-rolls when opening the game. N.B. (2): Starting from Tera Finder v1.1.0 users can also do Live RAM edits the seeds while the game is running (this uses a sys-botbase or usb-botbase connection - instructions here). Make a backup of your save file before doing any editings to it. This is important for safety purposes, in the case you want to roll back at the original state. Launch Tera Finder and load your save file in, either by clicking Load Save File, or by drag & drop the file itself into the application. The file you have to load is named main. - This step can be omitted if Tera Finder is connected to a Remote Device for RAM Editing. Click on the Raid Viewer/Editor button (if using Tera Finder as PKHeX plugin, it's located under Tools -> Tera Finder Plugin -> Tera Raid Viewer/Editor).

Event-Mighty is for Unrivaled 7 Stars Raids from Raid Events/Poké Portal News. Den Active - Determines if the Raid is enabled or disabled. LP Harvested - Determines if the League Points have already been harvested from the Raid. Pokémon Info - The Pokémon infos are not directly editable. All the stats/rewards are tied to the Seed and Content Type. If your goal is to encounter Pokémon with specific details/stats, click on Raid Calculator. If your goal is to encounter raids with specific rewards, click on Reward Calculator. Set Content and Filters based on the result you want. If you need better explanations for all the available filters/options, please check the wiki pages for the Raid Calculator and the Reward Calculator. Notes: The tool generates Raid data based on the Game Progress set in the save file. The Game Progress determines the Stars tiers available as follows: Unlocked Tera Raids: Unlocked when the player obtains the Tera Orb (Stars tiers available: 1-2). Unlocked 3 Stars: Unlocked when the player conquers the 5th gym (Stars tiers available: 1-2-3). Unlocked 4 Stars: Unlocked when the player conquers the 8th gym (Stars tiers available: 1-2-3-4). Unlocked 5 Stars: Unlocked when the player conquers the Pokémon League (Stars tiers available: 3-4-5; this locks out from the Tiers 1-2!). Unlocked 6 Stars: Unlocked after the player conquers the Accademy Tournament in the post game, and succeds on defeating at least 10 Raid bosses from Stars tiers 4 and 5 (Stars tiers available: 3-4-5-6; this locks out from the Tiers 1-2!). Users can eventually manually edit the SAV Progress Flags with the built-in Game Flags Editor. Event Data is loaded from the Save file. If no valid event data is detected, the tool can not generate Event or Event-Mighty raids. Users can eventually import Event Raids (known as Poké Portal News) with the News Importer. Check this page to see the available encounters in the base rom for each Stars tier, or this page for the event encounters. Set a Max Calc amount (waiting times for the calculations will be higher depending on that amount; an higher amount will increase the chance to find the wanted results) and click Search. Wait for the calculations to finish. If there are no results, either the encounter you're requesting is not possible at all, or you'll have to increase the Max Calcs amount. Once you found a viable result, select (left click) the seed you want, right click over it to open the option menu, and select Send Selected Result to Raid Editor. if all went well, the Raid Editor window should now show your wanted Pokémon. Close the Raid Calculator (or Reward Calculator) window and the Tera Raid Editor window, then Export your save file. You can now restore the save with JKSV or any other save manager. Open the game and find the Raid den. The Raid Viewer built in Tera Finder can help you locate raids. F.A.Q / Troubleshooting: Q) The Tera Finder program/plugin does not start. A) The .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0 freamwork is required for the program to work. Make also sure to properly extract the program and place all the dlls in the same folder as the exe. Don't run the program from inside the Zip. Q) I followed the tutorial, but my raids are different than the ones shown in Tera Finder. A) Date advances will make the raids to be rerolled. Make sure to save in game at least once during the same day you want to edit the seeds. Connecting online may also cause raid rerolls (particularly, if there are different event raids than the ones in your save file). If you want to share raid online I suggest to save the game after connecting. Q) I want to host edited raids online. Is it safe? A) Injected seeds will only produce legal raids. Meaning, these raids could be achieved legitimately within the game. So far seed injection haven't been a cause of bans in any Pokémon game. As always, though, we don't take any responsability. Things may change anytime if Ninty/GF wants to. Q) All cool, but how do I host a Shiny Koraidon (and other illegal raids)? A) You don't. Those illegal raids are rom or ram hacks (with high ban risks), not related to seed editing. Cheers!
