Game Freak thus solves the annoying bug by which illegitimate creatures came through the Magic Exchange to legal players.
The Pokémon Company has released version 1.1.1 of Pokémon Sword and Shield. Nintendo Switch players who have the console connected to the Internet will automatically update these new adventures in the saga, a patch that comes to solve an annoying problem that affected the Magic Exchange: the hacked Pokémon.
Since Pokémon HOME came to iOS, Android and Nintendo Switch last February, previously impossible ways have appeared to transfer Pokémon created by external programs (hacked, in many cases) to these new editions located in the Galar region.
This caused that with functions such as the Magic Exchange or GTS – in the case of Pokémon HOME – species created with programs outside the video game came easily and, consequently, legal players received Pokémon hacked without knowing it. Now with version 1.1.1 of Pokémon Sword and Shield, we will no longer receive malicious Pokémon.
A new algorithm will identify the adulterated Pokémon, either by their internal code or by a different parameter identification system, so there will be nothing to worry about: you can reuse the Magic Exchange without fear of receiving hacked species.
