Look towards the bottom part of the events list stickied at the top, it has a list that'll help you. I'd link to it in this post but the forum said I'm not allowed to post links to other sites (even though it's a link to THIS SITE) until my post count is 15 :\

if someone hacks a pokemon they usually give it moves that are really good or it can't learn

BakingBluePotatoe May 27th, 2008 1:11 AM

compare it to a LEGIT form of the Poke?

Gold Tom May 27th, 2008 1:27 AM

Yeh, the above, the secret ID? What else... Oh, the balls?

akatsuki35 May 27th, 2008 1:34 AM

The ability might be different, it might be caught in a master ball, it might have moves it can't learn

well with the masterballs kinda wrong. I use 2 masterballs trying to catch shiny skomory because of the move it knows. People always thinks its hack which it isnt because i had to chain it, took be about 3 days just to get a shiny patch. is thats not always the case

PokeMaster1 May 27th, 2008 6:57 AM

All of these are good information. If it is a pokemon such as Darkrai, Shaymin, or Arceus.. bets are its hacked.

World King May 27th, 2008 10:25 AM

Well, the Master Ball shouldn't mean it's hacked (specially Shiny Pokémon in Masters...) But for example, certain Pokémon that can only be in Master Balls (All starters except the Johto ones, Fossil Pokémon, Eevee except from D/P), so if they're in other balls, they're Hacked.

Peanutassailant May 27th, 2008 10:35 AM

wait... lol.

wasnt the starters from previous gens in pokeballs? i always thought this but i never really looked lol =/

World King May 27th, 2008 10:39 AM

The Johto Starters are the only Starter Set that can appear in Master Balls, because you can catch these in Pokémon Colosseum as Shadow Pokémon.

Reniko_Seika May 27th, 2008 6:53 PM

I don't know if 'fake' is the right word, but Hacked would be. And you can tell by the possilbe odd distribution of stats, the 'Ball it's contained in, it's move set or ability, or the fact that it appears as Bad Egg in PBR. That's all I know of how to tell the difference.

location & apperance counts.

djvolcom May 27th, 2008 9:10 PM

It's a faked if it's hacked! Or by moves, like Pikachu cannot have Hyper Beam, well I'm not totattly sure. Or that it doesn't even look like a pokemon that would be created, it was one that some hacker made.
