BEWARE! Avoid THESE New Scams on Pokémon HOME! 

Stay safe doing trades you guys. Massive thank you to everyone who showed support on the recent community post btw All socials: linktr.ee/kevdogyt

I think a simple solution for number 2 is for Game Freak to maybe… NOT SHINY LOCK SHIT? THERES LITERALLY NO POINT IN SHINY LOCKING THINGS AS IT ONLY CREATES PROBLEMS LIKE THIS BUT THEY STILL INSIST ON DOING THIS FOR SOMEONE REASON.

itd be neat if Nintendo added a “report past trade option” it could not only get victims’ mons back, but would also help them catch people hacking though of course it’d have the side effect of hurting giveaway creators

Thanks for the warning, but it seems hacked Pokemon aren't the only ones being blocked from Home. I had a legitimate shiny Azumarill from Gen 3 borrowed to me that got blocked out with the same error code. It was able to be transferred to Home before it got in to Scarlet and Violet. so how come it's being blocked now?

So all that time getting those legendaries was for nothing. I don't mean to sound rude I was really hoping I can save them

I’ve also been getting a lot of shiny pokemon through trades on home that I’m 99% sure were gened. They usually have the OT of HOME and have best IVs. Also usually in a pokeball. I got a shiny tinkatink and a shiny mienfoo the other day that both had this issue

Thanks for warning me! I actually had a Shiny Mew of my own that said it was from Pokemon GO, I put it into Pokemon Home and it worked, thanks for the information!

I literally commented on your shiny Mew giveaway video about how I couldn't transfer it to HOME, weeks ago...

Would I be able to transfer shiny Volcanion, Magearna (regular and Poké Ball), Kubfu, Urshifu, Zarude, Glastrier, Spectrier, and Calyrex from Pokémon Sword to Scarlet, or is that too risky since they’re all hacked?

Well, if the pokemon breedable, it will be close to impossible to differentiate those Generated or not (especially if they made it realistic statwise and they can bred it and change shinyness and reroll PIDs). But for those that need to be transfered to HOME, you can easily check.

I'm always skeptical of Pokemon that I get from people and the OT name is 'HOME' because they say they got it from a giveaway but I still think it could be a scam

Thanks for the warning, my dude!

Hey dude just wanna say that low views does not equal bad content, and vise versa with high views not equaling good content. Sniperwolf is the prime example of the latter. Keep doing what you're doing and the views will come, good content comes from authenticity. The viewers can tell that you legitimately enjoy what you're discussing. Don't let the numbers stress you out, and take breaks from YT when you need to. I know it sounds cheesy but investing in your mental health will in turn make your videos all the better. Thank you for the content, and remember to have fun with it! 🙂

The indigo disk is going to make this really difficult to tell because there’s a bunch of legendary Pokémon available in game now

Out of curiosity, how do you apply a pokehex or a generated pokemon to S/V? I play primarily offline and really just like to do challenge runs so it would be helpful.

Get well very soon ❤ we love you and health is more important than anything else. Greetings from Germany ❤️

Thanks So much for the information 💜

I have a question. I got an Ogerpon from one of your giveaways and I want to trade it in Scarlet and Violet. Is that ok or not?

I never knew this was a thing,but then again,I only have the free version of pokemon home since my family won't let me buy the full version,so I guess I'll never experience this scam,also I hate trading anyway (long story short people in past shiny giveaways on facebook have tricked and lied to me about the rules of winning their giveaway so it made me dispise trading forever and I've not entered a giveaway since 2012 after that incident) it's sad that I've won twice back then but never gotten the shinies due to being lied to about the rules

Most of all giveaways Pokemon prior to the update are *HOME* *LOCK* I've been releasing those and been trading them away via surprise trade and other trade for random regular mons. It can still be used in game for all purposes. So its not completely useless.

Dude got one of your pokemon in a trade back in the beginning and now I'm finding you. Full circle! Pleasure to meet you mate

This why I don't trade. You generally cant tell if a pokemon is legit now a days.

3:56 this actually happened to me but it's fine. I gave an Alolan Vulpix for that fake legendary and I had plenty of Vulpixes left in my boxes... too bad I can't complete my Sword & Shield pokedex now though :((

But like, if you can gen Pokemon, can't you just gen all the Pokemon yourself instead of robbing people of their rare Pokemon??

May i ask, are the Pokemon from giveaways safe for trasnfer to home? Most of them are for collection and will be stored in a separate box , while Pokemon i actually do shiny hunt or collect myself will be sperate. I dont want the pokemon i actually grind for getting screwed and i get locked out.

I simply remove the items off of hacked mons, released them, and sell the items. I'm referring to surprise trades. For items that can't be sold in scarlet and violet, i just trash/delete. And for pokemon home trades, i simply trade my 40+ magikarps I've breed in an attempt for a shiny away so kinda hard for me to get scammed there

hi I see some of the lock shiny in pokemon home I did not know it was scams I did not trade for then so that you I just see this video it it help me out keep up your hard work

The mouth in picture is from battle for dream island which has 2 completed seasons. And I felt sad when bfb ended because it was so nostalgic. I hope all the bfb contestants are doing fine. 😊

I've got all the event distributions for sun & moon gen and cloned them, thought i could wonder trade em but they're locked from that and idk about how to trade them out really guess they still can be given one to one. They're all legit but it's really hard to give people Pokémon, they all want to encounter or soft reset them for themselves. I went through allot of trouble to reset them all myself for the best possible stats.

Oh wow, I just do trades in Home since I don't have an internet subscription with Nintendo online. But thank you for the heads up.

I keep getting a “Can’t trade special Pokémon” when I’m tryna deposit a shiny Terrakian & Virizion both in Chinese names I don’t want, and it won’t let me trade them for regular Darkrai and Latias as I’m tryna finish my dex :(

"Why do you always get both versions and trade/transfer among yourself?" *Points to things like this being why* While there was no Box/Ranch/Bank/Home in Gen 1 and 2, but still...

A question? There will be a problem if I use another method (for example, bots) to evolve a trading pokemon, more than anything to be able to evolve them, no shiny or 6 IVs. They are only generated by breeding.

I got a shiny Jirachi from this giveaway and when i tried putting into Pokemon Home i got the return to title screen error so it turns out the reason was it was scam 😩😭

I got Shiny Zacian, Zamazenta and Galarian birds from a youtuber, but they already were in home before. So now they stuck in Violet, or they still can be moved?

This did worry me a bit since I have a shiny Mew I am pretty sure is hacked, however I transferred it from 3DS. I did put it back into Home after using it in SV and thankfully it still works fine.

I wish they would validate the Home tracker on anything that says it had been transferred through Home when processing online trades in-game. Maybe have an exception if both players have each other registered as friends -- if a group of friends wants to play with hacked Pokemon, let them. But I wish they'd do more to protect trades with strangers, especially as they make it easier to interact with them.

Thanks for the info 😊

Do the sysbots still work or are they gonna need to be tweaked

Seems like shiny eggs are the only safe way to move things to home.

I never do trades for this reason as you can't trust any trades Pokémon anymore.. I just make sure each one I have I obtained myself.

This is the kind of sht why I stopped trading for pokemons and chose to catch every single shiny myself; I much preffer not having a shiny 3 segment dudunsparce (for instance) than having one which might (and, in this case, totally would) be hexed... and, if I don't trade for such a hard to obtain shiny, what would be the point on trading for somethig so much easier to get? Lol

u can also gen Pokemon caught location like to Pokemon Go Stamped now which is highly in demand, also the step to bypass the 10015 is to go from Pokemon SWSH to Home than to SV , because the Pokemon only patch for Pokemon SV but not Pokemon SWSH, so u can still actually put into Pokemon Home, I already tested it lol...

So if I traded for a shiny-locked pokémon in the GTS but then moved it right away into a game, would that be fine, or would I still run the risk of getting banned?

got a shiny legendary with the OT kevdog, smh, I should've known

I remembered seeing a RU-vidr named ShinyDen live doing shiny legendary trades and I was gonna do it, but since I’ve seen this, it’s not work getting them just for SV 😅

Great and useful information

Trading with people and Trading in Home is just Pain and this is our problem. I think the safest thing i just dont using them. Thats sad true

blegh i feel so bad. i willfully traded like 2 giveaway pokémon in the gts before later realizing it was honestly a pretty scummy thing to do. I wish I could send them back but that's obv not really in the cards. I just got tunnel vision trying to complete my dex and didn't really think about it. I hope those two people like the koraidon and miraidon at least lol

God, do they have no bigger problems? Why do they care about generated legal Pokémon with legal stats moves etc.

Oh crap...need to check those traded shiny Pokémon one by one through Pokémon Home. 😅

I’ve gotten mythic Pokémon during the twilight days of the latest DS consoles, some shiny and was able to go into home.

Nintendo always took their L in whole new level 😂

I wonder if "cleaning" the genned mon with Berichan bot would "fix" these with a legit Home tracker???

Well now I better check on that zapdos I got in a wonder trade. I hate how we can't have nice things. Cheers for this video!

Oh.Thanks for telling me this cause I actually just discovered this.

I got one of your gholdengo’s from GTS, now i found your channel

Apparently the shiny zeraora from the special raid event from sword/shield can also get beamed since I assume HOME doesn’t have a event ID check

Would a Pokémon I Gen in SwSh and then transfer to Home directly then Scarlet work? Ex) Eternatus from a sysbot transferred to scarlet

Fortunately, I only use home to transfer Pokémon!

I mainly do Wonder Trade, unless there's someone I specifically want, so I can only get Shiny Pokémon at random. Guess that means I'm safe, huh?

i have a couple of enamourus that i got from trading on HOME while searching for a 0IV speed and stopped once i saw one with an alpha mark, i cannot trade some of them now

Wait is blood moon ursaluna actually shiny locked? I've seen some as raid partners. I wouldn't know since i don't have any of the DLCs.

When I see a bunch of shiny pokemon on the GTS that want some stupid requirements i assume they are genner or hacked.

I keep getting that error when I’m trying to transfer Pokémon. When is Nintendo going to fix this problem?

Bro, do you know how many shiny legendaries I have that has OT: Kevdog ? In Sw/Sh AND S/V lol

basically you can get rid of them in surprise trades hahaha when I get traded with a bot or generated Pokémon it usually contains ability patch/capsule/master ball/great items I just take that item and double it and give it to the next person :)

Is this why i can no longer battle online with any of my shiny giveaway pokemon?? I literally cant use any one of the pokmon ive gotten from gengar bots or giveaways and ive been hella confused. Keeps saying problem with one or more pokemon in party😢

I’m just sad that this happens. I probably won’t be a victim of this since one, I only use the free version of Pokemon HOME and two, I don’t really dabble in legendaries there. All I do is hatch Pokemon I like like Alolan Vulpix which I pass three egg moves to, breed a good nature, and infect it with Pokerus then send it out for trades for common Pokemon that I also want to have. The only time I ever traded one for a legendary was for a Suicune and miraculously, someone gave me one for one of my Alolan Vulpix. At first, I was also scared because I never really thought someone would give me a Suicune for a Vulpix. But I checked and it seems the Suicune is legit. It came from the good old days of Johto with a GBA marker on its summary page, level 40, JP language, but only has Roar in its movepool. Pokemon HOME didn’t flag it and I was able to transfer it to my Pokemon Shield. Anyway, I just hope there’s a resolution for the scams you described that will work for the welfare of everyone.

Yea I get that error a lot

You cant accidentally scam people. Scamming by definition is something you do intentionally. Great video though

I've had this error with legit pokemon yesterday but i was able to move them between my scarlet and violet games

if you cannot send genned pkmn in pkmn home then how did that shiny ursaluna get on gts?

If they're in home before the update some can be traded

ive been dropping the ball on actually interacting T-T I'm sorry! I love your videos ❤

its just a game have fun and catch them all

Ok now im confused,for the past 9 month's since Pokémon home became compatible with Pokémon go i transferred over the following to my Pokémon shinning pearl via the Pokémon home/go link feature: 1. Shiny Scyther 2. Tauros 3. Swellow Im still able to transfer them back into Pokémon home with no issues and all 3 of them say the following in the description: It seems to have traveled all the way across space and time itself to join me from Pokémon go. All 3 Pokémon i have caught myself in Pokémon go and all 3 have the little G icon on them as well.

How do I check if a pokemon is hacked?

Well there goes my shiny deoxys 💀

So i been surprise trading and i got one that was obviously gennes cus it was by berichen and another website but can I still use them in solo raids without getting banned?

If you gen a pokemon in the 3ds games and transfer it to home will it be able to? If so is there a bot I can use?

That's funny I have some shiny locked pokemon in my home and had them them for a year and a half almost 2 year and I still didn't get banned

I had someone transfer me a shiny eevee in Arceus that they hatched and transferred it into my sword, now it won’t transfer to home anymore with that exact error code :|

Stuff like this is why I don't trade with anyone I don't know in real life.

this is all stuff thats been happening since pokemon first got wifi

I flat out deleted My Digital Violet because of the controler malware

Would copying and pasting the Home code from a legit mon to the hacked mon fix it?

Out of curiosity with PKHex or whatever it’s called…are you able to make a Typhlosion and Hisuian-Typhlosion with every legit ribbon it can have from Gen3 and all the way to SV ribbons?!! I’m only wondering lol

You made me realize I got scammed on eBay lol

Something happened to me, I traded 2 Giratina's I tried to transfer both to HOME and the same error, then I transferred 1 to HOME and, no error! I transferred the other one and, no error! I don't know what happened...

Why would pokemon home take my Yvetel and hold it hostage? It never let me move it it just dissapeared

Until they got rid of bank services i used an ar with ultra moon and transfered to home for my Pokémon needs

People talking about pokemon but im talking about the bfdi mouth in the thumbnail.

Omg this happens to me I wanted Thunderous it won’t let be transfer it on Scarlet and Violet

I got one of your kubfu, and now I can't put it back in home. Thanks for screwing me over.

It's no point using GTS with all of these people asking for raging bolts, gouging fires n iron crowns

Wait are those Pikachu stuffed animals by chance squishmallows? Just curious cause I have one that looks just like it😅

hello would you help me pls i would like to get Darkrai but i don't have the game pokemon Shining pearl or brilliant diamond i need to play that game just a little bit so i can have/unlock the mission on Arceus to get Darkrai would you help me?

3:42 I’m not a fan of Hacked Pokémon but I do get rid of ones that are CLEARLY hackedn

I got a shiny mew from osirus stream but it wasn’t from him. It was from this guy named strings ytube and the mew came from the hoenn games but I don’t know if it’s legit or not
