GF = GameFreak = the developers of the games. TPC = The Pokémon Company. If the game lets you use some Pokémon online, doesn't mean they're legal. The official legality checks are crap at best. Home won't flag illegal stuff with a visible "!" or with red flags. If it get very illegal Pokemons, it turns them into Bad Eggs. A warning mark in Home usually means that the Pokémon has moves that are not compatible with the game you're trying to transfer that pokémon into. A red mark appear if the Pokémon is not compatible with that game. Neither of those marks indicates that a pokémon is illegal. Whoever menages the Home server never bothered turning into bad eggs pokemon without a legal Home tracker, neither they banned accounts holding such mons. This does not mean they can't, if they want. A faked Home Tracker would be caught very quickly, if only they decide to pursue that. I doubt they will ever ban users for having invalid Home Trackers, but those mons are illegal nonetheless.

You don't. Even if you'd gen one randomly it would still be illegal since the Home data tied to that tracker would not exist in the servers. Even if so far it seems that GF/TPCi didn't bother to check the tracker for legality, they could while the Pokemon is in home, if they want to.

Mythical Pokemon are not allowed anymore in the official ranked matches on Sword and Shield. The rules changed the 1st November. Anyhow, that Pokemon actually is illegal. It does not have an Home tracker. Every Pokemon coming from X and Y should have one. Sword and Shield won't check that, but still.

If the save file is unencrypted (eg. it loads fine on PKHeX), then I think you can just rename the file by removing the .sav extension and by naming it "main", or whatever your emulator uses as nomenclature.

If you're trying to make a Channel Jirachi, then I don't know any public program that allows you to gen a proper SID. If such calculator do exists, then I'm not aware of it. You might want to look at the generation algorithm implemented in PKHeX and build your own program to calculate a proper SID: https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/blob/master/PKHeX.Core/Legality/RNG/PIDGenerator.cs#L117

To make it easier, either pick the Careful one from our gallery, or use the Encounter Databse (Tools -> Data -> Encounter Database) within PKHeX.

F.A.Q. Q) Is this legit? A) Legit means no external tools, hacking and/or glitch abusing are used. At best, Pokémon obtained in this way can be legal. Do note that trading Pokémon obtained this way without proper disclosure might be considered scam. Q) Can I follow this tutorial with a clean, non-hacked Switch unit? A) No, Atmosphere CFW is required. 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. Q) Can I follow this tutorial without an NSO (Nintendo Switch Online) paid subscription? A) Yes, Mystery Gift features don't require NSO. Q) Do I risk a ban by using faked BCATs? A) Who knows. As of now we don't have any ban reports but, as always, we don't take any responsability in case your console, game or savefile gets banned. The method is similar to save file backup / restoration, and as of now we don't have ban reports for that either. If anyhow you're too worried to proceed, just avoid following this tutorial. Q) Why can't I add more than one (1) wondercard per time to Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee BCAT? A) The game would only see the first card on the BCAT list. There would be no point in allowing users to add more cards. Q) Why does the tool flags some of my wondercards with a yellow warning mark or with a red esclamation mark? A) The tool marks wondercards as invalid in these cases: Q) Can I edit the wonder records receiving date? A) Technically, yes. Suggested? No. There have been ban reports for tempering with the Internal/Network Time Clock. Q) Can I edit the Met Date for received Pokémon in Pokémon Legends Arceus and Pokémon Scarlet/Violet? A) Same answer as point 8. .....

GitHub Source Code Download Latest Release About This tool aims to make past Mystery Gift event contents back again in all the Pokémon games for Nintendo Switch. Since those games won't allow event injection in the SAV file, this tool creates a forged BCAT package, injectable with homebrews like JKSV. This allows wondercards to be redeemed through the In-Game Mystery Gift Menu. The use of this tool does not involve hacking the game ROM nor hacking the game SAV. Video example: Compatible files Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee wondercard full files (.wb7full) Sword and Shield wondercard files (.wc8) Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl wondercard files (.wb8) Legends Arceus wondercard files (.wa8) Scarlet & Violet wondercard files (.wc9) BCAT wondercard files, either with mutiple or single wondercards (no file format extension) Compatible games Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee Pokémon Sword and Shield Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Pokémon Legends Arceus Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Disclosure Neither I nor the Project Pokémon staff takes any responsibility for possible adverse outcomes or bans due to the use of this tool. Use at your own discretion. N.B: Some BCAT files contain sensible console-specific informations, which you should keep safe. Don't share your BCAT to others! Usage Tutorial The following tutorial refers to the Windows Form app. The .CommandLine app is currently just a simple script that calls the .Core functions and can run on any popular OS. Its usage is similar to the Windows Form app and should be fairly intuitive. Ensure you have the required .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.x correctly installed Download the latest tool release from GitHub Dump your game's BCAT with JKSV and keep some copies somewhere safe Open the Switch Gift Data Manager tool and select your game of choice Import wondercard files of your choice (by drag & drop or by clicking the `Open Files` button) Eventually edit the wondercard id (WCID) if you have invalid WCs and click `Apply` Click the `Save as BCAT Package` button and select your dumped BCAT folder in the "Source BCAT Path" section. The path must lead to the folder containing the files "directories.meta", "etag.bin", "list.msgpack", "na_required", "passphrase.bin" [N.B: if your dumped BCAT only has the "passphrase.bin" file, it means it was not initialized properly. Connect in-game and use any Mystery Gift feature at least once to initialize the BCAT. Downloading Wild Area News or Poké Portal News works too] Click the "Save" button A folder called "Forged_BCAT_{Game}" should appear next to your dumped BCAT (or in whatever path you selected in "Destination BCAT Path") Restore the forged BCAT with JKSV To redeem the old fashion events, open your game -> Menu -> Mystery Gift -> redeem via Internet When you're done, restore your original BCAT package with JKSV (not doing so may cause sync issues) N.B: BCAT Sync usually occurs between 12:00 AM (UTC) and 01:00 AM (UTC) if there is new BCAT content in the servers. I suggest to not follow this procedure during that timeframe to avoid a desync. If you experience a desync, follow one of these methods to resync: Open JKSV, select BCAT, hover over your game and press X to open the menu, then click `Reset Save Data`. Download the latest BCAT for your game from citrusbolt's website and add the missing files to your dumped BCAT, then restore it with JKSV.

Either use the Dolphin Memory Card Manager (emulator) or GCMM (hacked GC/Wii) to extract your individual .gci save files, then load them in PKHeX

Try this guide if you didn't already: If you or your brother formatted the console before/after the hacking process (or if you're trying to restore it in an unlinked emulated/redirected nand) then you're kinda out of luck.

The first point to patch in the PAL version should be at 0x21B244. NTSC: PAL: The difference between PAL and NTSC is 0x1D34. By adding that difference to the second offset we'd get to offset 0x2198C4, which is the same you found. For the second patch it would probably be a good idea to load the iso in some decompiler (or decompile instructions at runtime, I think Dolphin can do that?) and check what the original instructions do compared between two versions. There's a chance the NTSC patch in the PAL offset could work as is, but I woudln't bet on it. EDIT: You can also try the GoD Tool:

As far as I can tell, rental team species are determined based on that seed, and there's no public calculator to tell which species you'll encounter given a determined seed. You can't do much, except saving the seed value whenever you encounter a Pokémon you want in the rental choice, then inject that seed again before the next Dynamax Adventure.

As stated in the rngreporter guide, Mew (as every other Gen 3 stationary) is Method 1

Just take some time to explore the program. Should be fairly intuitive. You really shouldn't pay someone to do such an easy task.

Follow this guide to properly create a Gen 3 Pokémon with correct PID-IV:

If your Pokemon comes from SM/USUM then it should be legal. Just try it and see, no reason to ask when you can check it from yourself with PKHeX.

Given that you could legitimately obtain a Solosis via trading, there's no reason to worry about that. You can safely use PKHeX to gen a Solosis.

They uses Xorshift as RNG algorithm (as well as any other encounter in the games, except for Roamers which uses Xoroshiro). It's possible to reverse a Pokémon into its RNG seed to check legality.

Follow this guide to fix the PID Mismatch errors: Here's your fixed Regigigas. Next time use a template from the encounter database to compare your data and check what could be the issue 486 - Regigigas - E400E6C13AA5.pk8

Since those hacked mons could demage save files, crash applications and in the past it encouraged unauthorized mons/services selling we don't provide supports for it. Use an hacked switch to clone your stuff, or search for a sysbot if you don't own an hacked switch.
