The mon availabilty is crazy too, Larvitar and Gible before Burgh is wild.
One thing I do commonly use PKHeX/codes for is giving myself certain shinies I like, at this point I just view (some of) them as preferable pallete swaps.
And being stuck with Piloswine ain't too bad, you get to abuse Eviolite a bit which is always fun.
