get any legendary pokemon from pokecheck ( make sure its not hack ) and move it black 1-2 , then mpve it to the bank
legal pokemon have released hidden ability - correct catch place and game and level
that mean you can't find a level 10 zygarde


Okay, I'm going to see if I can pick up a White/Black 2 next week for cheap. If not, oh well. Was just trying to help a friend out. Really appreciate the replys back. thanks.

So can I use this to back up saves from one cart and restore them to another? Say I rent a game from GameFly, and want to create a backup of my progress before shipping the game back - if I buy (or trade for) my own copy of that game at a later point in time, can I restore the save backup from the GameFly cart?

No, each gamesave is unique to their own cart. They are not exchangeable.

Well, that's a shame. Nintendo really needs to get on the ball with a proper save backup program for carts, but it seems like asking for standard features is asking too much these days.

My pokemon x cartridge got bricked just yesterday :( I got that webserver error and that's when it stopped working. I tried restoring a previous save but still nothing. The program still reads my cartridge but my 3ds wont read it at all and neither will my friends. Am I pretty much screwed? I updated to 1.18 today since I got the update message and I tried doing a random code to see if it would work but nope I get that webserver error each time I even tried it on a different computer and still does the same thing

Try cleaning the cart contacts in case it picked up some debris or something that is preventing it from making good contact. I say that since Powersaves will still recognize your cart and many bricked carts are not. If that doesn't work, then your cart may indeed be bricked, and unfortunately, there is no fix.

I was thinking of an idea if your cartridge is bricked would transferring with Save Data Transfer Tool the bricked save to a digital copy work? Since Save Data Transfer Tool transfers all of the saved data form the cart to the digital copy so in theory it could remove the brick from the cartridge and transfer the brick to the digital version I haven't tried this since my copies aren't bricked. It's a thought I did come up with to see if it's true or not. It does give you a Caution! "Save data moved to a downloadable version cannot be restored to a Game Card. The Game Card save data will be reset." Here is the thing I've tried Digital Games and transfer the Physical Copy to Digital Copy on Pokemon Y since I do have Digital & Physical of Pokemon Y and I can restore my save with Powersaves also Fire Emblem Awakening since I do have a Physical & Digital Copies of that game too. So there might be a chance you can save a bricked copy of Pokemon X or Y by transfer the data to a digital version. Am I the only one who thought about this theory?

Cart->Digital save transfers with a 'bricked' retail cart does work. You can do it as many times as you'd like.

You can still use PokeBank and Powersaves with the retail card, however it will remain unplayable on the cartridge.

Even if you transfer the save the cartridge remains bricked wow. Datel should take care of this issue this I can see a very bad since it's the servers that screw up the game this is why everything should be done offline since it's safer.

Yeah I tried cleaning it but didn't seem to work. I think I'm pretty much screwed and I might as well purchase a new one. The powersaves reads it and lets me restore a save file but it wont let me apply any new codes it just throws out that web server error each time and I've tried on two different computers. The 3DS doesn't detect the cartridge at all and neither does pokebank so I can't even backup my pokemon

The worst part is even if you did get a new cart you cant restore your old save to it, it sucks and I wish Datel would have a fix for bricked users.
