Someone can tell me if it's possible to trade hide pokemon (not in pokedex) like solgaleo ?

You can legitimately trade Mew via online as it's the only one legitimately available to get in the game at the moment. The others you can transfer via local trade from hacked game to legit game, but they won't be able to be used online once they arrive in the legit game.

I can confirm that on 2 Switch lites we don’t have SD cards inserted and the wild area is updated. So that update had to go to the system memory.
If you don't have an SD card anything that would usually go into the SD card, such as screenshoots and extra game data, goes into the system memory instead. It still shouldn't be in the game save, though, and thus you shouldn't be able to export wild area updates using the current versions of Edizon or Checkpoint.
The only time I seem to be able to connect is whenever I either go into internet settings, which disconnects the game, or whenever I turn the Switch into sleep mode and turn it back on. This would work if it wasn't for the fact that after a while the game reconnects. Also, anytime an L is right next to the WiFi symbol (for LAN), Noexs will not connect. Any idea how to fix the issue so Noexs connects no matter what?
You literally quoted the answer you are asking for: switch your game to Lan mode (Press L+R+L-stick in the options menu). If it works, the game will notify you that it's switching to Lan mode until you restart it.
BTW, the L next to the WiFi symbol is for Local, which is a kind of ad-hoc connection that takes over your Switch's wireless network adapter and disconnects it from any regular wireless networks. When in Lan mode there is no L close to the WiFi symbol.

AFAIK not possible with the current versions of either Edizon or Checkpoint. That info seems to be saved to the SD card as extra game data (so as to be available for every profile in the same Switch), and neither of those homebrew support backing up the extra data together with the saves.
Close. Games can have both a profile save and common save. The Wild Area data is stored in the Common Save for Pokémon (meaning only one profile needs to update the Wild Area and all profiles will get the update). Currently Checkpoint and Edizon only export common saves if there is no profile save (which is for certain games). They don’t currently support exporting the common save if a profile save also exists.

@WerWolv Made a special build of his Edizon re-write for SciresM to use in order to export this common save data so he could data mine it. This is why SciresM keeps posting updates about it on his Twitter.

While it would be nice for Edizon or Checkpoint to add this in you’ll likely need to wait for the Edizon re-write to be completed before we get this functionality.

Sounds like progress is being made, nothing to do but be patient now.

Thanks for the comment. That got things working for me. Now I'll attempt making cheats. Also, I've seen a lot of codes that utilize ARM here. Is that the only method of writing to some values in this game or is it just convenient?
A bit of both. Some are just easier: such as the Shiny Cheat. You COULD try and locate the temporary value that gets rolled when the shiny function runs and try to freeze it on whatever value it needs to be shiny (which, since it's based on the Pokémon's PID and your trainer SID and TID it'd be a different value for everyone) OR you could just change one line of the function to branch straight to the "it's a shiny" section of the function every time.

Others like disabling the EXP share involves changing a static value hard coded into the function, it's not going to be anywhere in memory for you to alter. So you need to change the ARM instruction to change the functions behavior.

Another example is Infinite HP. A lot of cheats would take the route of finding the current HP value and constantly writing something like '999' to it. But a more efficient and elegant way would be to find the instruction that deducts the damage and change it to deduct '0' instead of whatever the damage value was.

Plus, we have tools right now to examine the main executable of the game (where these ARM instructions are stored) but lack the tools for finding the hard to locate memory addresses, so until those tools come out ARM instructions are easier and faster to find for most things.

Cheat File Guide:

SXOS: Download the attached file and extract it. Open your SD card and navigate to sxos and then titles. Place the extracted folder here. Eject your SD card and insert it back in your Switch and boot your CFW. Launch Pokemon Sword/Shield. Once you're in-game, press the home button and select the album. Navigate to the cheats section and your codes should be there waiting for you.

Atmosphere: Download the attached file and extract it. Open your SD card and navigate to Atmosphere and then titles. Place the extracted folder here. Next, you'll need to download a homebrew app called Edizon . (Note: If you cannot see any codes, remove some codes from the txt file that you won't be using. It won't see any codes if the txt file is over 32kb) Extract the file "EdiZon.nro" to the switch folder on your SD card. Eject your SD card and insert it back into your Switch and boot into your CFW. Launch Pokemon Sword/Shield. Once you're in-game, press the home button and select album. (Depending on how you have it configured, you may need to hold R while opening the album to get into homebrew) Select EdiZon and click the blue C. Your cheats should be there ready to use.

Tips:
Airplane Mode has been shown to cause lag issues for several users, please make sure that if you are facing lag, that you have Airplane Mode turned OFF before asking for help. Also, if you have sys-ftpd enabled and you want to use cheats, then your system WILL crash and disable sys-ftpd, so please disable sys-ftpd before using cheats with the game (or, install the patch for disabling local communication from the game. Look in the thread for said patch).

BACKUP/RESTORE and SAVE EDITING Guide-PKHEX GUIDE:
STEP BY STEP GUIDE FOR BACKUP/RESTORE AND SAVE EDITING

Step 1.Have either SXOS/Atmosphere installed to allow for homebrew
Step 2.Have a app like Checkpoint that allows for backup/restore of saves
Step 3.Open up Pokemon Sword/Shield in Checkpoint and make two backups via pressing L and naming them,one as a main backup of your current playthrough and the other for editing,basically keep the first incase your game breaks from editing
Step 4.Open up your SD card on your computer either via FTP server or via a SD card reader and locate your two backup folders and open up PKHex
Step 5.Once PKHex is open locate the file button on the top left
Step 5.1. Press Open and now locate the folder your two backups are store in on your program(checkpoint,etc)
Step 5.2. Locate the folder which you will be using for editing and open it and a main/backup file should appear,click it, this should have your entire stored box ingame
Step 5.3. Now on the left side is all the pokemon stats where you can choose a pokemon,its moves etc,make sure its legal(location met,moves are in its move lists,etc)once done click set on a empty box tile
Step5.4.If a pokemon isn't legal it will come up with a warning tile which is a red triangle,go to each tab(Met,Stats,Attacks) and click somewhere in between the data a prompt should come up saying do you want the recommended whatever,click yes.
Step 6.Once your done editing your .pkm file go back and click file export PKM and put the new main/backup into the backup folder you were using for editing originally
Step 6.1 MAKE SURE BOTH MAIN AND BACKUP FILES ARE EDITED TO BE THE EXACT SAME, I HIGHLY SUGGEST IF YOU ADD ANY POKEMON TO SAVE THEIR .PK8 files to a safe location so you can just open them up in main/backup file
Step 7.Insert the SD back into your switch or use FTP to then put the SXOS/Atmosphere back onto your switch
Step 8.Open up the game and open up your app(Checkpoint,etc that allows for backups/restoration of saves) and then go to the folder you used for editing and restore it to your switch,if you get an error you will need to close the game and then use your backup/restoration app :)
Step 9.If all is well your new save should be added to your switch and the edits should of gone through.

IF YOUR STRUGGLING WITH PKHEX JUST WATCH A GUIDE ON YOUTUBE IF YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW ABOVE

Shiny unlock code for starters and legendaries please, we ask for this code for a very long time now

And stop saying that we can use the All shiny code to get the starters and legendaries immediately.

We want to SHINY HUNT. HUNT. With hard resets, not eggs.
Can you explain the difference between hard resetting your game 2000 time to get a shiny and breeding 2000 eggs is? I'm sure there's a difference, i'm not implying that what you're asking for is dumb, I just can't figure out the difference. There is no "instant shiny egg" code so you would still be hunting for the shiny starter just the same as hard resetting.

You can't use the cheat codes or pkhex without modding your switch.

The always shiny code should work on eggs too. But I don't get his whole point. If he wants to reset multiple times, why he would even need a code? It would be instant shiny and there wouldn't be the need of hard reset anything. The whole argument that he needs a code for resetting, is nonesence, except he's streaming or making YouTube Videos and don't want to waste so much time on hard resetting on a Pokemon and can say "it doesn't take so long for him, ez".
And because he doesn't understand the process and time behind any code he's now blaming others for not giving free codes for cheating. He has the chance to fast hatch an shiny starter instead of using a code to get it at the beginning, instantly.

He just wants to remove the shiny lock to make shiny hunting possible for the starters and legendaries.
Ah, okay. Got it. Thanks!

A code can't do this. Shiny lock is built into the encounter data for the game. If you want to remove the shiny lock on starters and legendaries you'd need to use game mods, not a cheat code. So if that's your goal you can stop asking for a code here.
