Apparently PK8 and 7B don't HAVE region info. So any Pokémon made prior to this change has region data in their info which makes them invalid/illegal.

You can use the Batch Editor to erase the console region data. Open the Batch editor, set your type to PK8 and use this script:
Code:
.ConsoleRegion=0
.Country=0
.Region=0

That'll fix all the Pokémon in the box to the proper info.

Disabling auto cheats via system_settings.ini works perfectly fine for me on Atmosphere 0.10.0. Double-check that you:
  1. Moved the system_settings.ini template file from the config_templates folder to the config folder
  2. Removed the semicolon from the start of the dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default line to activate it
  3. Changed it's value from u8!0x1 to u8!0x0

Yes we know. Unfortunately there's little we can do about it. While there are tools to extract this save data, it turns out that the game doesn't initialize the save data until you've gone online and updated your wild area data at least once. Meaning even if someone donated their wild area save data you wouldn't be able to import it as the save archive doesn't yet exist on your Switch to import it into.

So basically they figured out how to update games and block CFW users? That's scary, they can just start making "day 1 updates" in this way and prevent us from playing any game. Isn't there a way to host the "update" in a private server available to everyone on CFW online, kind of like how SXOS updates online?

Well to be blunt cfw users shouldn't be online anyway thats why its important to have emunand setup so that you can go online in sysnand "ofw" with pkhex pkmn.
But ofc you'll have some ppl that will say they always go online in cfw playing pkmn

Oh my god, thank you! I can now use these cheats in peace without the danger of crashing the damned game now. :D

But even if you stayed offline and had emunand setup, with CFW you couldn't get the update on the CFW save, only OFW with a reatail game and save file, so that brings us to where we are now, I don't get this particular post.

Thats why we dump/inject the same save file used in both emunand to cfw sysnand vice/versa.
I use EmuMMC with incongnito for extra protection using Edizon-cheats and other homebrew apps such as ftp and jksv
then I go into cfw-sysnand "only" to inject my save file. Then go into OFW stock sysnand to play the game online getting all the gigamax updates. If i want to use the save file in emunand again
I just dump the save in cfw-sysnand rinse&repeat

Well yeah using pkhex pkmn isn't going to get you banned, its going online with cfw than can. Some ppl have told me they do it all the time which is fine for them just don't go around the forum telling everyone its ok. We value safety precautions over full blown risks.

Two quick questions, once the switch is modded and you didn’t do emunand, is there any way to clean it up and do a reset to properly install emunand? Second question is on the dynamax crystals accesible on PKHEx, any way to actually use the clothing ones? If so, how?

Does anyone have a code for x999 Eviolite? I can't find the one I got from the game and the "Other Items" code doesn't have it in the bag.

Does that mean, i need 1 step for every Egg?

It is not exaxtly one step, for me it defers between one and about 30 steps.
In principal run a second steps left or right and back and all eggs start hatching.
When the first one is hatching the others will follow each after one step.

PS: Why Hatching all Eggs?
I do it like this:
  1. Use Instant Egg Code und fill 3 Boxes with Eggs
  2. Use PKHex at PC to look if one Egg is Shiny
  3. If Yes breed it.
  4. Then Delete the Others (There is a Bulk Action at PKHex for it)
  5. If No Egg is Shiny repeat from Step 1
There is no need to breed all ;)

Do we know if shiny swap is possible? Like if save my game and I breed magicarp and get 20 eggs and my 4th egg is shiny, can i switch my game off and not save, restart and breed rillaboom and my 4th egg will be shiny?

For those of you that'd like to use Eternamax Eternatus, you can modify wild encounter tables via pkNX and encounter it in the wild. It will stay in Eternamax form until the game is turned off. Turning the game off reverts the Eternmax Eternatus back into regular Eternatus. I have attached a mod below for Pokemon Shield that will allow you to encounter such an Eternatus at Route 1. No pokemon appear, except for exclamation points. Those exclamation points will have an Eternamax Eternatus spawn from them. It should be captured 100% of the time by any Pokeball. It may work with Pokemon Sword and it may not (Just rename the folder from Shield's TitleID to Sword's TitleID).

So how do you use this? Do you just put it in the title file of your SD card or is there more to it?

AFAIK, no. If you save, breed a pokemon, jot down its stats, reset, and breed the same pokemon again, it will have different stats.

Getting shiny pokemon by trading an egg to someone with the right trainer shiny value doesn't seem to work anymore.

Thank you! That's what I thought. I bred like 600 pokemon 30 at a time, saved and on the last batch of 30 I found a shiny on egg 17 and when i reset and collected 17 eggs it wasn't shiny then i did one more thinking i miscounted but 18, 19 and 20 didn't have a shiny. Then i did 30 more and nothing, so I stopped at 90 and said "this might not work anymore". Also, once the switch is modded and you didn’t do emunand, is there any way to clean it up and do a reset to properly install emunand, notsure if you would know? Second question is on the dynamax crystals accesible on PKHEx like And15 and such, any way to actually use the clothing ones? If so, how? Professor keeps telling me "it's not the time for this".
