If you're seeing this, you probably received a Wonder Trade Pokémon from me on the Nintendo 3DS. I hope you enjoy the Pokémon that I sent you!
It's most likely a competitive ready Pokémon preloaded with a Smogon set. These Pokémon are all game-legal and you should be able to transfer them to Pokémon Home.
In some cases, the Pokémon may not be Shiny or may come with a Master Ball/Gold Bottle Cap instead of its intended held item for battle due to legality or trade restrictions.
The 3DS lost access to online services on April 8th, 2024. It's a sad time to be a fan of handheld gaming and game preservation in general.
I am planning to migrate over to the Pretendo network, a homebrew replacement for online services on the Nintendo 3DS. I hope that you'll consider joining me there!
In order to access Pretendo, you need to install custom firmware on your 3DS. I highly recommend visiting this website if you wish to hack your 3DS, it's a safe and relatively headache-free process if you're familiar with basic file operations on the computer.
Installing custom firmware on your device brings about numerous other benefits including save editing, access to lost content from the old eShop and installation of homebrew games/emulators that aren't normally accessible on a stock 3DS.
Feel free to get in touch with me if you want to reminisce about the final days of 3DS online services. You can find me as rootcompute on Discord, I am also pretty active on the social media site Mastodon.
Check out the rest of my website if you'd like to learn more about me or to take a look at stuff that I've put out on the internet.
