How to get Magearna in Pokémon Sun & Moon

These steps aren't needed on the Japanese 3DS.
It doesn't work on the O3DS in Hans, because it runs in extended memory mode, so it reboots, it works with Luma, though.
If you get "You can't use this until you become the champion.", then wait until you beated the Elite 4, and finished the main game, then do the steps again.

Added my Magearna pk7 in a .zip for the people who don't get it working by this tutorial, please set OT + ID to your own, it still has the bottlecap.

Here is a tutorial how to get Magearna legitly, through Hans, or Luma locales spoofer, or PkHeX

Method 1:
1. Open up Homebrew launcher loader on your CFW on your New 3DS/New 3DS XL
2. Open up Hans, select Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon.
3. Select Japan, and 804 MHz
4. Launch the game.
5. Open the menu by X, and select this option:

6. Scan this QR:

7. Pick it up, at the mall in Hau'oli city, at the antic shop there.
8. Profit

Method 2:
1. Launch Luma settings by pressing start at boot (A9LH).
2. Enable the region/language emulation and external .code
3. Create a folder named locales inside SDRoot\luma where SDRoot the location of your SD is.
4. Create a .txt file with game's title id as the name, for Sun use: 0004000000164800
For moon use: 0004000000175E00

So for moon it's: 0004000000175E00.txt
And for sun it is: 0004000000164800.txt
5. Edit the file, and enter JPN for the region, an space, after that enter 2 characters for the language ("JP", "EN", "FR", "DE", "IT", "ES", "ZH", "KO") (without the quotation marks).
6. Save by selecting start.
7. Launch the game.
8. Open the menu by X, and select this option:
KfXzgZ9h.jpg

9. Scan this QR:
FKVPh9K.jpg

10. Pick it up, at the mall in Hau'oli city, at the antic shop there.
11. Profit
12. After using this, change region back to your own by editing JPN, in the text file to USA, EUR, CHN, AUS, KOR, or TWN.

Don't use method 3, unless you finished the game!!!
Method 3:
1. Extract your save using JKSM or any other savegame extractor
2. Use FTP or put your SD out of your 3DS, and copy the SDROOT\JKSM\Saves\Pokemon_moon\save_dir_name or SDROOT\JKSM\Saves\Pokemon_sun\save_dir_name to your PC, where SDROOT the letter of your SD is, and save_dir_name the name of the save directory is.
For Save data filer copy the folder with the title id of the game in the directory of Save data Filer, to your PC.
3. Make a backup of the directory.
4. Open PkHeX sun & moon, goto the Event flag editor, and enable the flag "Magearna event active". See the picture here (pic by: @tomx86)

5. Export to main
6. Copy the folder back to your SD. (Back to the save game extractor folder, posted earlier).
7. Re-import the save.
8. Open the game, and go to the antiques store in Hau'oli city, in the mall.
9. Get Magearna.
10. Profit

if you use the code.bin patch which both hans and luma can use you can use a qr code to inject a cosmog and more once pkhex is updated

What's the Point of playing the game if you can do this? Cheater piss me so much off lately... i have nothing against pirates but this is ridiculous

dumbest post i have ever read on gbatemp bravo

this method is not really cheating unless you do it from pkhex but even that still gives you magearna through the legit method.
OP just shows you how to scan the qr code from japan(which is the same for everyone) and be able to use it regardless of what region you are in.

blame nintendo from not making events readily available, i wanted magearna on launch. but no such thing has been announced for NA region.

now kindly BTFO

I read somewhere that the qr code will be released on pokemon.com, I believe it was, on December 5 2016 iirc.

Don't know how legit that is but I'll see.

use luma instead if hans isn't working using it with lumas better since if you leave the code bin patching on you can always scan qr codes on boot

true and I use it but I wanted to use HANS to use multiple code.bins with different patches, like with lines, without, 100%catchrate... ;P with xml shortcuts to choose which to load

Can anyone explain the PKHex method more? The flag is by default ticked for me but I cannot seem to get the pokemon at the shop. Might it because I imported the pk7? But then again the received flag is still not checked so maby I am doing something wrong?

Has anyone tried using the Luma Locale Switcher app and see if that works like the manual Luma locale method?

Not sure if this has been answered, but it works perfectly.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I don't play Pokémon but this sounds for me like cheating

It's not. It's just tricking the game into thinking you are japanese / running a japanese 3ds so you can get the event like a Japanese person normally could. There isn't anything "cheating" about it, unless those folks who live in Japan who got the event are "cheating" too (they are not.)

Basically, all this does is allow you to pick up the legit event as without this you wouldn't be able to pick it up as the event is region locked. This just gets around the region lock, is all.

If you don't play pokemon, then you shouldn't really be commenting on something like this, as you will have no knowledge about how these things work.

Event working, thanks.
I am unchecked and checked again "Magearna Event Active" (not check Magearna Gift Received!) in Pkhex and works perfectly.

why doing this if you don't have a jpn console???
the pm you get won't be "legit". 3ds region and country won't match....

btw, it's not a wonder card gift.


region spoof only make things worse....

I've tried to scan - without this method - the Magearna US QR with my EUR New 3DS XL and it says "This code can't be scanned with this console", but if I scan the JP QR it shows Meganium... It seems that was added to the QR a "region-locking" code or a similar thing

It's just a fact, on European consoles:
- the Japanese QR shown Meganium
- the North American QR says "This QR can't be used with this console"
So... it seems there is a "region-locking" code

spoof to US and try again.
European code will be shown this evening, I can wait

    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
