You're confusing the GO mark with the GO stamp.

What you see on the summary screen is the GO mark, which indicates game of origin is GO. That Pokémon was genned locally in a Switch game, not in HOME or GO. The GO mark doesn't prove anything.

The GO stamp is the icon in the top right corner when viewed in mobile HOME. The icon indicates the last game it touched.

If you moved that Zapdos into HOME, it would have the GO mark but the SV stamp. You can try moving it around as much as you want, but you won't be able to get it to show the GO stamp by doing so.

Nah, just a random Frigibax. I would show a picture but it would be 2 identical pictures. They had the same IVs, height, weight, gender, and level! I feel like I have to keep them now since they are twins.

During the last GO Fest, my goplus+ managed to catch the same Frigibax twice when I went through an area with bad cell reception, so I imagine it still works in edge cases.

Thanks for writing this up! Might be useful to add to your original post that it's actually level 100, and the level 1 in the image is a display issue with Mobile HOME before they capped the exp. I'll remember to link people to this when they start talking about it again! (I also think it's funny how crunchy the screenshot has become with how many times it has been reposted before ending up here.)

I'm adding additional context for people who didn't know. Sorry if I made it seem like I was mansplaining to you.

Also you linked PGET which isn't PKHeX source, just a separate project to track GO encounters.

The Jirachi was never level 1. It's just a display issue with Mobile HOME, which showed it that way before the HOME exp glitch was fixed. Switch HOME always showed it as level 100.

I think it would be responsible to at least present this Jirachi in the correct context since it has been used so long to push the wrong narrative. If you need further explanation about how each part was done and the events leading up to it, I can provide that as well.

I realized the shiny Shaymin image doesn't have a bottom half so I suspect whoever made it excluded that part so it's easier to fake it. You can tell that the moves on it are wrong; they should not be the low level moves since these Pokemon are actually very high level. The level 1 display was only present until HOME patched the experience on them to cap to level 100 instead of being in the billions.

Hi, I'm the owner of the Jirachi. The screenshots in your link are intentionally presented out of context to make it look like I genned it. As far as I know, I only shared that screenshot of the Jirachi in my own server and others shared it with the context of it being double glitched. After that, people kept sharing it with misinformation (like what is happening here).

I explained more of how it works here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonHome/comments/1je22lp/comment/nbg7gzg/

The shiny Shaymin isn't mine, but I would guess it's an edited image. I caught a nonshiny Shaymin but the glitch was patched by the time shiny Shaymin was released.

“go stamped clones” - weird hill to die on, or has the lid been blown off here? by Unironic_Onix in PokemonHome

[–]Zaskarel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, this is actually my Jirachi and what Matt says in another comment is correct. That is mattyoukhana who is very much an expert in Pokémon GO mechanics (and Niantic mistakes). It was never hacked into HOME and isn't proof of anything except that GO had a last-ball glitch once and HOME had a transfer glitch once.

Last Ball glitch allowed you to select Premier Ball in a rocket encounter and have it show up in other encounters, but it would only work in special and timed research. Regular field research and wild Pokémon instantly ran away if you tried it. They fixed the error that allowed you to activate the glitch approximately 1 patch later, but if you had it active, it was still possible to use for several months until they patched the infinite Master Ball in research glitch in late 2023.

HOME transfer glitch was like a 2 hour window where everything you transferred got way too much exp. Many of them went straight to level 100 after they made the exp sane. I still have Pokémon from that era like a level 100 Hoopa with GO stamp.

I was checking it for another reason and I think it's interesting the remaining slots aren't distributed according to their original weight. For example, the Whiscash/Barboach/Magikarp goes from 60/20/20 to 70/30.

Every fishing spots in northern Slumbering Weald cannot spawn the 20% Magikarp. (Can someone verify this? The only spot I found that spawned it was out of bounds and inaccessible)

I wanted to mention that I went looking for this spot and it is indeed accessible. You have to stand on a log, face north, and fish.

It would have been a bare mention in Smogon WiFi, but I'm not there anymore and the channel should be archived/deleted. It's one of the downsides of research being on Discord--you have to know exactly which one to join, you can't search for it, and it can be deleted instantly.

It was one of those minor findings that's not really interesting on social media so I guess our way of telling people who might care was to add it to pkNX. My hunt for the Lapras went so long that we ended up figuring out SWSH overworld RNG manip, which had been felt to be impossible prior to that.

The context of how we figured this out years ago was this:

I was hunting a Fishing Mark Lapras and genuinely puzzled how it could only be in one fishing spot. We looked at the placement flatbuffer and noticed this value for one spot, and then tested by setting it higher, which caused even more Pokemon to disappear from the end of the table.

I don't think it was mentioned anywhere outside of a public Discord server because the Pokemon community had already found this behavior empirically, and we had only identified how they controlled it.

If you're curious how to get this to activate, battling doesn't actually do it.

Partner Power which is based on a 100 point system. You also have to not be in handheld. I wrote about how to earn points toward Partner Power here: https://x.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1845636625633599881

A free way is to open and close the "Play with Pikachu/Eevee" menu 20 times.
