Can you transfer pokemon from Switch/GBA ROMS to Pokemon Home (Blessed shield/sigma platinum/Unbound)

Corveone, Jun 25: Rom hacks usually modify Pokémon stats, movesets and/or Abilities. So safe answer is no, those Pokémon would be technically "illegal" unless you make sure you're transfering from a rom hack that doesn't change anything.
