    Thanks all for your input, I have released the wifi one so hopefully it'll never end up in circulation again :D

    I do have another one

    Celebi
    Pokeball
    ID - 00010
    OT - 10 Aniv
    Sassy
    Hoenn
    Arrived at lv 70
    hp - 257
    atk 181
    def 179
    sp atk 172
    sp def 200
    spd 136
    No ribbons
    and the ultimate giveaway..... it's shiny
    That is what's making me ask

    Regice (english)
    Ultraball?? ( black with orangey shape on top)
    Modest
    Hoenn
    Arrived at lv 40 (still 40)
    HP 114
    atk 51
    def 96
    sp atk 102
    sp def 173
    spd 47

    Regice (Japanese)
    Masterball (questionable, did they waste it on a regice?)
    Modest
    Hoenn
    Arrived at lv 40 (still 40)
    HP 126
    atk 40
    def 96
    sp atk 102
    sp def 168
    spd 52

    I was curious as to the stat changes between the two being that are the same nature and level.

    (thanks for moving my thread, I didn't realise there was a hacked thread)

    Thanks again all :D

    Celebi is hacked, I don't think they set events to be shiny. Both Regi's appear to be legit, the different stats could be from the different Ivs. Can you pick the pokeball out on this site ?

    As long as those are its stats in its Normal form, and you of course did not receive it over the GTS, then yes, it is legitimate.

    When someone says that a Pokémon is "hacked", it means it was either created using illegal devices or programs (Action Replay, PokéSAV), or was modified in an illegal way with said devices (such as having an impossible ability, moves from a game it can't be found in [like Lucario and the Emerald punches, but now it can have them because of Platinum], reaching impossible stats, like 999), or similar stuff. But that's not always the case. There are some hacked Pokémon that look perfectly legit to the naked eye, of course, that are also hacked.

    Hope this helps.

    To expand, the reason it's Dex number is ??? is because you don't have the National Dex. Once you get the National Dex, it'll change to 492.

    Hi there, just wondering for those of you who have Platinum what Dialga should say if caught on that game? I got a Shiny one off the GTS the other day that said it was caught at Lv. 70 at Spear Pilar. Is this right?

    Looks completely legit. The only thing that could make it a hack if it doesn't have the Classic Ribbon on it though.

    What color is the OT? Also, what is the ID no.? and what nature does it have?
    It seems legit so far, these are just to make sure it is.

    BTW, why buy it off ebay? I'm sure someone here would be more than happy to trade you one.

    By the way, most people selling Pokémon on eBay actually hack the Pokémon in the first place. Just warning you; I wouldn't trust it if I were you.

    What are its stats?
