    Everything checks out OK. The IV's don't exceed 31 and everything that should be with it is. You don't mention if it comes in a Cherish Ball or not. If not, it is hacked.

    Here's the IV spread if you're interested
    HP: 0
    Attack: 2
    Def: 4
    SAttack: 16
    SDef: 14
    Spd: 30

    yeah it's in a Cherish Ball. But the Classic Ribbon discription seems a tad suspicious. (I've seen it on hacks before.) Are u sure it's legit?

    Yeah i'm sure. The message on the Classic Ribbon changes every few days. From "Obtained in an Unknown Location" to "Proclaims Love for a Pokemon".

    I have a question: Is it true that if you insert a GBA Pokemon game into your DS with your D/P game, that it will unlock new pokemon to catch that were otherwise impossible to? Does each of the 3 GBA games unlock different Pokemons or it doesn't matter which one?

    What's the difference of Focus Band and Focus Sash?
    Click to expand...

    Focus Sash - a one time use item that is guaranteed to work so long as your pokemon started at full HP and the move would otherwise KO you

    Focus Band - only has a 20% chance of activating, however it is not a one time use item and can be activated at any time a move hits (even if it's not going to KO)

    All 5 Games (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Leaf Green, Fire Red) add new pokemon, and the pokemon vary based on which game you have inserted

    Here is a list of the pokemon that appear with each game

    Thanks, so which of the item is most used. I can decide which one is better, while the Sash is one time use, the Band can be use many times but only 20% activation...

    The problem Sashers have (that is pokemon with Focus Sash attached) is that Sandstorm etc basically neutralize it. Hippowdon and Tyranitar leads are rather common so Focus Sash is pretty screwed in the standard metagame, however that doesn't mean its completely unusable

    Sceptile usually has better things to do, but it can work for Infernape Leads. Also, If you do have an opposing TTar lead, then it will most likely give you a turn to set up anyway, as it will switch out, predicting a CC.

    To be honest, it is more useful on Rock/Steel/Ground Pokemon that is immune to the ever-present Sandstorm. Hail is less of an issue. It is also smashed by Stealth Rock and Spikes, so keep a spinner if that pokemon is not a lead.

    REALLY ARE YOU 100% SURE:\...... COZ MY FRIEND'S GAME HAS BEEN DELETED COS OF THAT GTS CLONE THING....

    GTS cloning is not dangerous at all, it cannot delete save files. Your friend probably saw the "Save file corruped" sign (Which is meant to appear) and panicked.
