So I know that you can create Pokemon with pk hex and through other means I was wondering in terms of code what exactly is a Pokemon what characteristics make it legit or not what is the process of making one ?

I'm reopening the Colosseum discussion about the RNG that never seems to end! In short, PkHex is returning an illegal flag on my Espeon/Umbreon (Unable to match encounter conditions to a possible RNG frame) because I altered the TID/SID on them to match my trainer (I'm one of those who uses the same TID/SID for every game). After a little research, looks like this is because I changed my TID/SID AFTER starting the new game save, which of course would have been inconsistent with the PRNG from when I started the save file and whatever TID/SID and Espeon/Umbreon I generated upon startup. Here is what I care about and don't care about for my Espeon/Umbreon's legality: I DON'T care about: IVs, Nature, Shinyness, Ability, Gender, basically anything that isn't TID/SID. We Gen VIII now, the world of mints and ability capsules and hyper training and all that shtuff. My Espeon and Umbreon can look like literally whatever within the following parameters: I DO care about: TID/SID/PID matching. My TID is 00008 and my SID is 00000, and despite my best efforts I cannot come up with a PID that marks the Esp/Umb as legal. To fix this, I have tried various strategies from this site and others, and seem to always come up short with generating the right PIDs for Esp/Umb. Most tools available are designed to help generate shinies, but as stated above this isn't important to me. I now have two questions. 1. Is it possible that the PRNG doesn't produce all theoretically possible TID/SID combinations? is 00008/00000 unobtainable given Colo's coding? I was able to generate PIDs for both TID00008 and SID00000, so those are both possible, I just haven't been able to get them together 2. Please help??

Can’t have gligar in Pokémon diamond so I want to use PKHeX to get him in the game.Do I need to download PKHeX on 3ds or can I download it on my pc? If it’s possible I want to send a Pokémon file on the root of 3ds and send it to Pokémon diamond.Anyone know how to do this and more info about it?

Hi all! New time user of PKHeX but an average user of PokeGen from back in the day. I have some transparency, ease-of-access suggestions for the PKHeX UI that could help with intuitive navigation. 1) Relocate the Blank Save Version option from Options>Settings to File. 2) Relocate the Shortcuts menu from Options>About PKHeX to Tools 3) When using the "Reset All" button from Option>Settings, it closes the PKHeX as a requirement but doesn't not auto-launch afterward. Enable it to auto-relaunch when using this feature. 4) The Origin Marks of Pokemon aren't interact-able. Apply a feature that clicking on the mark would redirect the user to the Met tab and drop down the Origin Game options automatically. 5) Buttons that are interact-able, but not apparent should have a button outline. This includes Trainer and Pokemon gender, the Legality Checker, the PKM Ouicksave; and any others I could of missed since I didn't know they were a button. Next are legacy features from PokeGen: 6) There was this tooltip feature that detailed what options meant when rolled over. Some examples of these would be Nature, IVs, EVs, ability, etc. This would be great on the Origins Marks. 7) Pokemon Box drop-downs always displayed amount of Pokemon in specific boxes. Thanks and if there's any concerns or elaborations needed to break down the points, please let me know.

Hi guys, I've been having some trouble with saving data on my soulsilver retail cart. After completing the game myself, I decided to save a backup and play in one of the contributed saves in the threads, this was about a year ago and everything seemed to work fine (i could save and open the game without difficulty). Recently I wanted to get into rng and decided to change both the sid and tid of the save through pkhex. Exported it and it restored perfectly. After about an hour of playing I decided to save the game and edit a few Pokemon through pksm (just a bit of fun, added pokerus into a chatot). Booted the game up, played a bit, saved and soft resetted. After the opening cutscenes, I got the blue corruption screen. Now whatever save I use, either a file found in the user contributed saves thread or a backup of the previous saves, the same results after saving the game happens. The main issue now that I think about it would be because I changed the OT/SID/TID of these saves? PS After a while of researching, I've realised that when saving the message reads 'saving a lot of data'. This lead me to the github page about an issue from editing box data in HGSS which caused this bug. Does anyone know any other ways to resolve this (don't really want to save multiple times due to the nature of RNG Heres the page https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/issues/2697 EDIT: Ignore this, ive found solutions

PKHeX only has 59 available DLC1 Raid Dens in the program, when there are 90 total dens in the entirety of the Isle of Armor. Is there something I'm missing? An update that I didn't notice? Because I can't access 1/3 of the new Dens to edit them currently. Info and feedback appreciated!

can`t raids den seed value modify patch is needed.

i wanted to edit my den to get a solar power gmax-charizard but noticed in the new update there are only 93 raid dens. i searched everywhere but couldn't find 94-99 dens, can someone please help me with this issue or just confirm its an issue from the devs like save and cancel swap. Thanks

I've noticed for a while now that in the 'Other Items' pocket of the bag, when giving yourself All Items it gives you a tonne of random items with stars at the beginning. Is this a bug or something I'm missing.

Hi! I am new here in this sort of forum section. I need those 15 Pokemon in my non-hacked Switch Lite's Pokémon Shield to complete the Dex as well as having some G-Max Pokémon that I can't have due to the lack of the Nintendo Online Membership. HOWEVER I could activate my 7-day trial to get these Pokémons into my game along with their items. Otherwise we could do a HOME Transfer with only 10 Mons out of 15 due to the daily limit. Please PM me or reply here if you can fulfill my request. I'll make 15 Alolan Pokémons for you in exchange ( I can transfer Pokemon from USUM, so if you need some Mons in HOME, please tell me! I'll be glad to help Then we could arrange the trade. NOTE : I usually don't go online and I DO NOT battle online. Also, these Pokémons are for MYSELF ONLY. I don't intend to trade them at all to other people. EDIT - Got them, thanks to the dude who sent me them (exept Melmetal)

Can I inject every single key to a fresh and new B2 save file right off the bat (literally haven't chosen a starter yet) and activate them immediately or would that complicate things? P.S. -> I'm using PKHex btw This is my first time learning about these keys! Cheers!

Okay, so I'm having an issue making this rayquaza. When I try to make it in the JPN language to make it more authentic, the game keeps saying there's an issue with the pokemon. Does anyone have one themselves that they genned in and if so can you send me the file that the game recognizes as legal?

As the title says, I am looking for someone who could dump all of Alcremie's forms on their save file, then trade them to me. I know it's one big request, but the café battles never give me any sweets...and that alone feds me up. Or I could use a bot, but the one I used was taken down, so I'm kinda lost here... could anyone help? Thanks in advance. alcremie_forms.zip

So I’ve been playing several older games and accumulated quite a lot of legitimate shiny/high IV stuff by rng abuse, all now stored on a platinum rom. I want to move everything to black 2 version via PKHex without actually modifying anything to keep everything as legit as possible. My issue is that having Pokemon in gen v with all caps names really irritates me, so using PKHex I transferred them and then checked, unchecked and checked the nickname box for each one to so they’re all registered as having nicknames and in the correct case (the idea was that they would look as though I’d used the gen 4 name rater although at this point it wouldn’t be practical since they had come from many different save files and so obviously I couldn’t rename them all in the same game). Afterwards I was told that altering the nicknames as I did can alter your trashbytes, thus making your Pokemon illegal. To rectify this I used PKHex to wipe all the trash bytes as I heard the name rater is able to do this anyway by renaming each one to a 10 character name and then back to the desired name. My question is are my Pokemon now completely legal down to the last byte of data? Also how does the name rater remove trash bytes? Can he be used to remove every single one in all Pokemon or is it just the trash bytes that are associated with the nickname? Any advice appreciated. Thanks in advance. Apologies for the wall of text.

So I recently looked around the web for a decent "Pokemon XY Clothing/accessory injection guide" for PKHeX, but most of them seem outdated (using the A-P table method and not the current "Current Appearance (X/Y)" tab). I was wondering if anyone has an idea how to toggle things like mascara/blush on Serena or facial hair/cheeks for Calem on the newest PKHeX version? I'm having trouble figuring out the values these facial accessories should be, since they show up as a number instead of a text option like "Felt_Hat_Black".

Hello, I have been trying to generate a legit shiny manaphy from pokemon ranger but when i turn it shiny, it says wrong PID. I got my saves from a r4 so i can only mods my save file in these generation. So How do I get a legit PID with shiny

Hi guys! A friend of mine kindly shared this useful document with me (I hope you enjoy) but we're now looking for seeds that aren't all just 6iv. I must point out that I haven't checked each and every seed (this would take years) but so far all the ones we have used from this document have been 6iv. Shiny-Raid-Seeds.rtf In an ideal world we would create our own seed using the "SeedFinder" plugin tool in PKHeX but that often generates a "No seed found" message As you can see below the SeedFinder plugin cannot generate a seed for this Hatterene, sad times... So as an alternative I'm asking for anyone that has working seeds to share on this post for all to enjoy. Specifically seeds that aren't 6iv but can actually be used for competitive Singles/VGC such as this Shiny, 4iv, Hidden Ability, 0 ATK, 0 SPE Hatterene in my example above. Any help would be muchly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!!

I'm having a problem with my Pokémon Crystal save. I loaded it on Project64 to use my Pokémon on Stadium 2. I completed Little Cup with the save and the Crystal .sav file worked fine in PkHex. However, after I completed Poké Cup, I wasn't able to load it on PkHex anymore. The .sav still works on my VBA. I did the same thing with my Pokémon Red save on Stadium 1 and this never happened. I'm using the latest PkHex version and Project64 2.3.2.202. I use the N-Rage 2.5.2.202 plugin to load my GB saves on PJ64.

Hello. I've been having issues with changing my skin tone in Sword and Shield. I have been following this post and it actually has been successful in terms of changing skin tone. My specific problem: I cannot do trainer customization. For both clothing and hair. To list everything I have done: 1) I changed from tan female to white female, so nothing wrong with that in terms of gender specific clothing. 2) I changed my mother's skin tone to match mine in case that had to do with anything. Same problems. 3) I have used the fashion blocks on these forums in case it had anything to do with the clothing, still no luck. So... with all the detail I have provided... is there something I am doing wrong? Thanks!

Hello everyone, saw that we can download .wc8 files nowadays; my question was, how would we inject these into our saves? By dragging the .wc8 files directly into our BOXes? Or is there a different function in PKHeX that allows us to inject .wc8 files in a different (and maybe more legit (?)) way? Thanks in advance EDIT: After checking the injected .wc8 files directly into the BOXes, each event Ponyta has 0 stats, I'm guessing this is not the right way of injecting :0

I've seen a few posts of people requesting hacked Pokemon. I can see that they're not very successful/popular going by the lack of comments. Is it frowned upon here? I also know that paying for hacked Pokemon makes you the biggest sucker, but... Okay hear me out; I have PKHeX and have created 72 dream Pokemon for XY/ORAS and have the files. All the details are filled out and they are all legal (except for two) and I wish to have a copy of each on both my Y game and Alpha Sapphire game. So 144 Individual Pokemon (files) in total. My problem is that I just don't have the skills to hack my own 3DS/games and not risk destroying everything. So I'm kind of stuck. I understand if begging for someone's time to provide all these Pokemon is discouraged. Just let me know and I'll shut up about it. Lest...? If there is someone out there with nothing better to do, or if someone knows of someone who can get me my dream team, I would be incredibly grateful. (Assuming this works and someone willing to help sees this, feel free to pm me. I know I am asking for a lot...) Thanks for reading! Ciao! Edit: Is this how you share the file with all the data? pcdata.bin
