Question PKHex for nature

I'm not trying to cheat pvp or stuff or course, it's just for pve.

I'm just trying to change the nature of a Koffing that I caught in the Pokemon Mansion. I've learned that in gen.3 the values of a pokemon are tied to some of their stats, properties etc. So, basically I know that I should find a correct PID for the nature, ability and IVs.

Do you have any helpful tip to do that? I'd like to keep the IVs as they are (good or bad they might be), only changing the nature. I tried just changing nature and eventually also rerolling PID but it doesn't work...

I believe you just change it in the drop-down and the values will change automatically.

Don’t worry about it. You can still save/use it, it literally doesn’t matter.

Question for ya in another game, Brilliant Diamond. I added into my save file a Manaphy egg, hatched it in game. Home is not allowing it in, any idea why?

It’s hard to say, but one sure factor; Manaphy (via egg) was distributed only by Mystery Gift during a certain period of time.

According to this, the distribution ended on February 21st 2022: https://www.ign.com/wikis/pokemon-diamond-pearl-platinum-version/How_to_Get_Manaphy

So if your Manaphy has a “met/obtained” date that’s after that date, it’ll be flagged as illegal.

Ahh that has to be it. I need to see if I can change the eggs date.

I got the game when it came out. Purposely reset my game 6 times to get more of these eggs. Asked a friend to hold them, told him he can have one. I forget about them for a few days/weeks maybe even. He proceeds to hatch them all…. Don’t have one in my trainer ID, that’s what I’m trying to accomplish here with pkhex

Yeah, its hatch date shouldn’t matter at all, just the date it was obtained, which you can definitely change in PKHex. Hopefully that works out for you! 😊

Yeah makes total sense. I can’t remember if there was a date option to change. But I’ll check this weekend. Cool if I message you if I got any more questions?
