Gen 2 to Gen 3 transfers are now possible. And yes, this includes carts as long as you have some way of backing up your Gen 3 cart saves and importing/exporting them to/from your PC (same for Gen 2).

 

Quick overview of the technical stuff:

 

 


Nickname - Some symbols such as PK and MN do not appear in Gen 3, so are converted to ? signs. These can be corrected manually if desired.

Held item - Berries such as PRZCureBerry are converted to their analogous Gen 3 Berry, e.g. Cheri Berry. Other non-existing items are deleted.

Effort Values - Range from 0-65535 in Gen 2 and 0-255 in Gen 3. The value is squared or square-rooted to match the way the in-game stat formula handles the values. Due to the EV cap of 510 in Gen 3, sometimes effort values will be lost to avoid surpassing the limit.

Individual Values - When converting from Gen 3 to Gen 2, the value is halved and rounded down. This maps the range 0-31 to 0-15 for almost identical stats. Hidden power is lost in favour of preserving stats. When converting from Gen 2 to Gen 3, there are two possibilities for each stat, for example 8 could map to 16 or 17. These are chosen using a lookup table so that the hidden power type is preserved. This means all 15s are mapped to all 31s.

Moves - PP is handled slightly differently for some moves, e.g. Growl's maximum PP changes. Moves that do not exist in a generation are deleted, as are glitch moves and Struggle.

PID - When converting Gen 2 to Gen 3, gender and shiny status is preserved by calculating an appropriate PID. A neutral nature is selected so stats match as close as possible. Unown receive their matching form.

Shiny - When converting a shiny Gen 3 Pokemon to Gen 2, IV data is replaced by an IV spread that will make the pokemon shiny.

Gender - The attack IV is preserved in favour of gender when converting Gen 3 to Gen 2, so some Pokemon may change gender. This can be rectified using the menu Edit option if desired. Due to the way Gen 2 handles IVs, some combinations such as shiny female Charizard are impossible.

Unown Forme - Shininess is lost for Unown formes other than I and V, since only Unown I and V can be shiny in Gen 2. Unown ? and ! become Unown F, the canonical Unown forme used in artwork.

Pokerus - Is always cleared. If desired, it can be introduced by manually editing the bytes.

Origin Data - When a match is found, caught location will be preserved, but this is not always possible since locations like Slowpoke Well have no Gen 3 counterpart. The poke ball caught is the default Pokeball icon. Language is set to English as only English Gen 2 saves are supported. Origin game is set to the non-GBA escape byte used by Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness. Gen 2 Caught Time is always set to day.

 

Known Issues

Japanese symbols are not supported. Metropolis will replace the symbols with ? and display error messages in a log. When illegal bytes are found that cannot be mapped, the default values will be set and the problematic code displayed in the log. Since Gen 3 does not have a null value for caught location, Pokemon from Gen 2 without full and mappable caught data cannot be assigned a correct location. These pokemon are marked as from-trade and their caught level set to their current level. You may wish to change this to a more appropriate value such as a Gen 3 Location where the pokemon can be obtained or Fateful encounter.

Just a fair warning, Mawile's Mega Evolution was recently banned from OU matches, so its now classed as an Uber, so if people are expecting you to play OU rules, dont be surprised if they dont take your MegaMawile's presence too kindly...

That being said,

move 1: Iron Head

move 2: Play Rough

move 3: Sucker Punch

move 4: Pain Split / Swords Dance

ability: Intimidate

item: Mawilite

evs: 248 HP / 16 Atk / 244 SpD

nature: Adamant

Thats the standard MegaMawile set for ubers matches
