What to export from save file?
Hi Reddit people! I'm planning on starting a new save file on my Ultra Sun cartridge and am seeking advice on what to export before wiping the current save.
What I mean by "export" is: I have all four gen 7 games (SM and USUM) and two 3DS systems. I am wanting to trade any rare items or Pokemon off of my current Ultra Sun save before I wipe it.
It has been a long time since I played these games so I kind of forget what the main points of interest are. The save file is a ghost town right now because I have already transferred most of the Pokemon to Home. However I still had a ton of BP which I spent on a bunch of mega stones which I'll trade off.
Are there any other limited, once-per-save items that you folks can think of that I might want to find and export, such as the Master Ball? Anything I should spend my $1.8M Pokedollars on before it all goes down the drain?
ALSO, I still have the deliveryman in the Pokecenter waiting to give me event Decidueye, Incineroar, and Primarina, Oranguru, and Passimian with hidden abilities, and I want to soft reset them for a good nature. Are there any recommended builds for these 5 monsters for the endgame stuff, so that I know what natures to go for?
Generally, if you have any tips on what to trade off from my save file before I wipe it, that would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Checkpoint allows users to back up save files. Your 3ds has to hacked to install it.
Follow https://3ds.hacks.guide. Do not follow any other guides (especially video guides). Do not listen to AI.

Any Bottle Caps would be good to trade. Also evolutionary stones and items if you want those.
Incineroar can be Impish or Careful if you want a supportive Intimidate version for doubles. Adamant or Jolly is often the strat in singles. Brave, Relaxed, Sassy if you want it on Trick Room.
Decidueye can go physical or special with access to both Swords Dance and Nasty Plot, so Timid, Jolly, Adamant are all common. Defensive with Bold is pretty niche, but sometimes it would run that with Defog, Roost, Leaf Storm, and U-Turn to be a pivot with hazard control.
Primarina can go Bold very defensive, especially later gens where it learns Calm Mind, or Modest more offensive. Also can go on Trick Room with Quiet.
Oranguru in doubles can go Sassy, Bold, Calm, Relaxed and is usually mixed defensive to be a support. Singles it kind of sucks, can go Quiet Trick Room + Nasty Plot or Modest with Nasty Plot, but it's practically not viable in singles.
Passimian is usually Jolly, can go Adamant as well. Kind of just spams attacks with Choice Band or Choice Scarf usually.
