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

Yes, it works without Hans on Japan, I also think it works on Luma locals, if anyone can post whether it works or not, then it would help.

Any particular reason on why it doesn't work on o3ds?

Well, it runs in extended memory mode.
So Hans can't use that.

Oh PKhex can also do this in the trainer info. Luma apparently changed my game's region to JPN. Make sure to revert region to your default one afterwards via PKHex or Luma.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
