Oh and by the way, is there a reason I can't use PkHex to give a Pokemon an ability they're not supposed to have?
If I put these glitch Pokemon in my game, is there a possibility of it ruining my save file?

hi, lurker for a long time and I just registered to mention something about this:
Glitch move 0x2000 appears as nothing, freezes the game when Fight is selected, and appears as a slash/backslash in the move deleter
And for the save file thing, I've experienced something that may have been caused by having the presence of a glitchmon in my party.
I had Primal Groudon/Rainy Castform/3 glitches in the party for contests (having the glitches in the box seems safe) and when I reset after the save, Alpha Sapphire wouldn't load.
tl;dr I bricked my game due to a glitch/some other thing in the party.
Don't worry, though - the save is perfectly safe and can be loaded with Pokemon Bank. Pokemon CAN be banked out of the bricked save so basically you just have a cartridge that can do nothing if this happens to you.
I already transferred all my important Pokemon (event Pokemon, main party) to X using Pokemon Bank just in case. I never even beat the game, mostly due to sort of getting a bit bored with it (as well as beating Norman + all the trainers in the gym, then my 3DS was very low on power, but when I plugged it in, I accidentally removed the cartridge, leading to a bit of a lack of motivation to do the whole thing over again).
Anyway, I think I'll try this. And probably also get a shiny Jirachi while I'm at it since Jirachi is my favorite legendary.

Do any of you know if it would be possible to transfer any of the glitch Pokemon to Pokemon Bank, or does it have some sort of filter that blocks them? I know it would require saving with a glitch Pokemon, but to be honest, I don't really care if I have to start a new game.

Model.
Unlike Transporter, Pokébank itself has no sort of hack check, people have even deposited pokémon with level above 100 before. But I don't know how it would handle a glitchmon, if any differently. Beware that they can cancel your subscription if they decide to actually care about this, as transferring/depositing hacks is against their terms.

I have a couple questions: I can't seem to get a Pokemon above level 100, even when I change the name to PKHaX. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I also can't make the stats higher than would be possible with the selected EVs and IVs.
Also, if my subscription is canceled, am I allowed to just buy a new one? Though, how would they find out unless someone told them? Do they have people constantly watching which Pokemon are uploaded? That would seem pretty extreme.
It was done by SciresM himself, so it's probably only possible with hex editing. Torchickens might know how to do it since he's hex edited a while ago.
I don't now. But probably yes. Still, I don't think they do any checking, it's just to discourage transferring genned stuff.
That's not very surprising, most of those glitchmons lock up the game or the whole 3DS while they try to retrieve some info. However, I think your save could be restored if you're able to make a backup with ram2sav. Try to make a backup (not sure if it's possible when the graphics don't load), then check if it has content on PKHeX. If yes, delete your savefile (there's a key combination for that), then start a new game using the same gender and same skin color, then try restoring your backup. If successful, reset and do it when you receive your starter. Reason for only restoring permanently after getting your starter is that you'd have no pokémon in your party after restoring, due to ram2sav being unable to inject to the party.
Sadly the game is bricked in a way that when after the Nintendo 3DS logo part, it just cuts to a black screen. Nothing can be done at all except either turn off the power/take out the game card.
