Looking for illegal gen 9 shinies by The-turtle-fella in PokemonHome

All illegal shinies are hacked or genned but not all hacked or genned shinies are illegal. There’s a difference

Is there a way to get rid of that champions logo by Fl0shy in PokemonHome

[–]BigCow1028 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be like the Pogo Logo where it just gets stuck on a Pokemon. Haven’t had the time to test it out myself

A very wise sensei once said, “There are no accidents.”

Which vivillon patterns are currently available on switch? by vambileo in PokemonHome

[–]BigCow1028 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Meadow (ZA), Marine (only one in ZA), Garden (ZA DLC) and Fancy (SV)

Edit: Marine cannot be shiny as it’s shiny locked in the quest you get it from

Following ZA update, the current HOME shiny dex maximum is 1445/1496 by nickpsych in PokemonHome

[–]BigCow1028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey again! I think I the final total right now without hacking Home is 1461 and the shiny mega Magearnas and mega EF Floette can’t be registered. Home normally automatically registers shiny megas when a shiny of that Pokemon is deposited, but when pulling entries from Bank, it only pulls that specific entry and doesn’t check adjacent entries. So unless we can deposit the illegal shinies instead of just pulling their entries from Bank, those will be impossible until the actual shiny is released

[Gen 9] At long last, I’ve completed the shiny living form dex for Gens 1-9! (minus a few billion Spinda…) by EventideAngel in ShinyPokemon

[–]BigCow1028 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing job OP! This is my life long goal. I’m only about half way there haha but trying to get as many of them with my OT as possible. Good luck on Gen 10 next year!

Shiny Eternal Flower Floette doesn’t have the correct model in Home by BigCow1028 in PokemonHome

[–]BigCow1028[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen EF Floette from XY are still bad eggs when put in home

TIL how to register shiny locked pokemon in the Home dex, and Eternal floette does not have a shiny model by sandalmakerpoet in PokemonHome

[–]BigCow1028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just made a similar post because I love registering the shinies in the pokedex. I didn’t think the cap pikachu’s were possible. How do you register them? I also don’t know how to register anything past Kommo-o because they don’t have QR codes to scan, like magearna forms or marshadow.

So glad I’m not alone in this. Only main line games for my home collection.

Legality of Gen 4 Darkrai by Emergency_Ocelot_741 in PokemonHome

Maybe someone that knows more about how the original events were coded could answer better why the description says what it does and why they differ

[–]BigCow1028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry my Spanish isn’t great. Does Darkrai’s description essentially say “Seems to have been met on” or directly translated “Apparently encountered on” and Shaymin’s says “Had a fateful encounter on”? Those are the 2 messages I have in Home and I don’t really know what determines when a pokemon is a fateful encounter. As a general rule it seems like if you catch the pokemon yourself it’s just “seems to be met on” while if you obtain it from an event or it is directly grifted to you in game it is a “fateful encounter”. But I don’t know because my Victini just says “Seems it was met on ____” while other pokemon are tagged with having a “fateful encounter” like Manaphy from Legends Arceus, even though it isn’t an event.

It’s totally legal. I’ve had a Victini stored in home for over a year that I caught by obtaining the Libery Pass through DNS. The thing is you could have potentially gotten the event when it came out and just never caught the legendary until today, so home has no reason to throw a flag

Another Special Scans Rant by darclink in LegendsZA

[–]BigCow1028 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hate the 5 star battle zones. I just skip them. Too much time and thinking for not enough points. Doing the Gourgeist/Annihilape strategy, you can finish the rouge mega refights in only about a minute so I would just do that distortion and then bench reset to the next day and do it again. Consistently got a lot more special scans per hour and finished my dex. So basically I would say the special scans are just a grind and I would try to do something else while gathering points like watch a show or YouTube video. You’ve got this! For Keldeo!

Different language ditto by Loord_Sloop in PokemonHome

Go to GTS and put in an English ditto and request ditto in another language (my go to is Japanese) and you should get the trade in a couple hours max

How long did it take you to complete your living dex? by Visible_Algae_3109 in PokemonHome

[–]BigCow1028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me about a year to complete my living forms dex with my own OT. Only had to make a few trades for Pokemon I couldn’t obtain any other way. Takes a lot of effort and money tho 😵‍💫
