Obtaining Secret Base Pokémon?

Hello….

I have a… question or request or something. I looked around, and from what I could see theres no method for this. So, basically: is there a way to use the Pomeg Glitch to obtain Pokémon from another players record-mixed Secret Base?

Specifics on my situation:
I had a save file of Emerald that was accidentally deleted, but before that happened, it mixed records with my Sapphire. That Sapphire then mixed records with my new Emerald file, so the old Emeralds Secret Basewith 6 party Pokémonis sitting untouched in the new Emerald.

So… yeah. Is there any way I could get any of those Pokémon back? From what I know of the Pomeg Glitch this seems plausible, but I dont have any experience with Gen 3 glitches.

(Thanks for reading!)

Technically you wouldn't be able to get them "directly" because they have an invalid checksum, so the moment  you manage to catch or "get them through other means" you'd end up with a Bad egg. (only Mons that don't do that are the ones you meet or get in Battle Frontier)

If you can backup your Emerald save, however (if you have a DS flashcart you can do that very easily) you can open the save on an emulator and copy the data or, in the "worst case scenario", use a "steal Pokémon cheat" and grab them this way

Id never heard of flashcarts before… Ive figured a little out with quick googling, but would you mind explaining how it works and how Id use it? (Im pretty clueless when it comes to 3rd party stuff.)

Flashcarts (ex. R4) are basically carts which will let you load ROMs directly from your console (in this case, the DS), however, you can also run homebrew programs in them, such as a save file manager for GBA or DS games. So, what you basically do is put your Emerald in the dual-slot, a flashcart with the homebrew program in it and you make a backup of your Emerald save file. Then from there you can load the save file to an emulator and use the cheats or do RAM watch to get the Pokémon datas from the secret base trainer.

Some glitch moves can change the battle into a wild battle. Maybe that could be used to catch Secret Base Pokémon?

Metakrai wrote examples for every version of Emerald except JP in a document.
