hey i have a shiny movie shaymin everything is okay except that the ot is in blue instead of red , is it legit cause i heard all movie shaymins have a red ot
|
No I'm pretty sure that the trainer is blue. But as for it being shiny I am not sure....

Quote:
|
Eigakan Shaymin can be shiny. I need to update the list. Not sure about the OT color though.
|
Not at all. No 4th gen shinies can be shiny except WCS Milotic and the ticket events. And it's OT is supposed to be red, by the way.

Pokemon - Mewtwo
Level caught - Arrived at Lv. 100 Ball caught - Ultra Ball.. I think xD Location caught - Well.. Kanto Trainer caught - It doesn't have any english characters in it, all Japanese. Moveset- Ice Beam/Psychic/Shadow Ball/Aura Sphere I got it from the GTS, which makes me uneasy about this. My Ruby game got screwed up permanently from a Mewtwo and I'm scared to save my game with a random Mewtwo in my game xD. |
I think yours isn't hacked... it looks pretty normal to me...
|
I got three Pokémon for breeding from a "friend" over the GTS. I am, done with them and want to trade them, but I don't want to trade hacked pokemon.

@ÄgàmêñÐmØÑ - You might want to post the EV/IVs since nothing seems wrong with what you provided.
@Kavin - Seed Flare is more than likely the event move so I wouldn't be overly concerned about it. |

Make sure you check though; if all three have the same OT and ID, then they are hacked, as it is only possible to obtain one starter without resetting the game.
|
Unless you trade for them. XD
|
Umm, ever heard of breeding? ._.
Also, make sure the pokemon say "Arrived at Lv. #" so you know they were palparked and not pokesaved. |
I remember reading somewhere that WC Event Pokemon cannot be shiny unless they are meant to be shiny.
I can't remember where the site was, let me go look for it. |
It's not true and we are not going to have this argument again.
Next time somebody brings it up, they are getting an infraction for spamming. Last warning. |

Question on my Shiny Espeon i just got today...
I got this shiny Espeon over the GTC.. and I think it may be haxor'd...
I'd like to put up some screen shots of the stats and such and see what you guys all think. Although I haven't made 15 posts yet and cant, so just open the links in a secure browser. s82.photobucket.com/albums/j258/samwighsgamgee/?action=view¤t=EspeonShinyStats.jpg s82.photobucket.com/albums/j258/samwighsgamgee/?action=view¤t=EspeonShinyNoRibbons.jpg s82.photobucket.com/albums/j258/samwighsgamgee/?action=view¤t=EspeonShiny.jpg Nothing too out of the norm besides its a green espeon and that they used a ??Master Ball?? to catch it.. but just wondering if there were any other taletell signs. Thnx :) |
It's impossible to tell if it's hacked without seeing its IV's; have you reduced its EV's to zero so that the stats in the picture reveal its IV's directly, or not?
I'd tend to be suspicious due to the master ball. You didn't provide us with the second info page, which is usually useful in determining hacks--if the eevee was not caught in the trophy garden, then it is absolutely a hack. |
You know I think it might be hacked because it was caught by a master ball. But you know some people catch regular pokemon with a master ball so. *shrugs*
|
i dont think its hacked just cause its caught by a master ball doesnt mean its hacked
|
The person might have just hacked a master ball or cloned it.
However why would a person trade their shines on the GTS when its full of hacks unless their own pokemon is a hack itself. |
^^^This is horrible logic. Why would someone use the GTS? Because it's a provided service.
Master Ball is not an indication of a hack, except in cases such as event Pokemon and most starters. In every gen besides I, there is a way to obtain more than one Master Balls. In D/P, it's the grand prize at the Lottery. There's also cloning. |

BTW the face/smiley means its been infected with pkrs.
|
aha okay yeah dunno what that is xD :) but the date is the part i worry about cause thats mainly what show if its a hacked ornot
|
Is my Garchomp hacked?
I got this off Serebii (Below) Garchomp, Sand veil, Brave LvL100 - HP: 357 (31/0) | Atk: 325 (31/0) | Def: 223 (28/0) | Sp.Atk: 165 (0/0) | Sp.Def: 204 (29/0) | Spd: 216 (31/0) | Hidden Power: 36, GRASS | Format: stat (IV/EP) Moves: Dragon Claw Dig Crunch Dragon Rush It was hatched from an egg Also I dunno why its hiddenpower is grass... still dont understand it... Edit: Forgot form Pokemon: Garchomp Level caught: Hatched from egg Ball caught: pokeball Location caught: sinnoh Trainer caught: FlamezX Moveset: (Above) |
bjorn, the date in Pokemons' summary is the date of the internal DS clock. If the DS clock can be set to it, it can be part of a legit Pokemon.

Well it can only be caught at lv70 on Platinum.
|
We've already had a whole thread about this god forsaken topic. Would you people just drop it already? Keep it out of this thread. Any more talking about this will result in an infraction.
|
Ok, this is a big one:
Hitmochan Arrived at Lv. 26 Pokeball Hoenn Caught trainer Japense Moveset: Mach punch/Thunder Punch/Ice Punch/Fire Punch This is an event? |
There's been no Hitmonchan event. The SPORT event is a fan made.

Pokemon: celebi Level caught:70 Ball caught: pokeball Location caught:hoenn Trainer caught:10 aniv Moveset:shadow ball psychic perish song shock wave Possibly legit also, if you give me more information, I can see if it's on the hack list for you. |
I think celebi may be hacked, it has flawless IVs... im trying to trade back with the guy but if its not ill keep it.
|
If you guys can post EXACT IVs for caught Pokemon, their nature, and the region they're from, I can check if it's hacked. I can't tell for sure if it's legit, but if its hacked, I can tell you. :)
(IV-PID combination will be invalid if it's hacked.) |

So is the azelf and celebi hacked or legit?^^
also Pokemon suicane Level caught arrived at lvl 100 Ball caught master ball Location caught hoenn Trainer caughtdrea Moveset ice beam aurora beam hydro pump surf Pokemon metagross Level caught arrived at at lvl 5 Ball caught pokeball Location caught hoenn Trainer caught pwnstar Moveset hammer arm psychic iron defence bullet punch |
Pokemon: Staravia
Level caught: 7 (Current level also 7) Ball caught: Pokeball Location caught: Lake valor I think Trainer caught: Bob Id: 09372 Moveset: Tackle, growl. I've seen pokemon who are to low a level to be evolved in the wild, but this one has been offered to me in a trade over e-mail and it's stats are those of a level 20-or so staravia. Is this one of the weird glitched pokemon, or hacked? |
Quote:
|
The guy said that at the event all of the pokes were flawless and he got of a chord traing or something
"its not a hack the event pokemon from back in the day are all the same because they have to be traded by cord" |
Quote:
Suicune is only caught in Kanto or Far away place and Metagross is evolved too soon with impossible moves(at that level) |
Are you sure about gross coz it learns all those moves by lvl 45 (when it evolves)
|
If your Metagross is above level 45, then its fine. I'm assuming that it was transferred over freshly hatched at level 5 and then leveled up. I think he just thought that the arrived at level meant that it was a level 5 Metagross, which would be a hack.
|
OFC it would its lvl 50 but it probaby is hacked as i got it from the same guy...
Here are its stats timid nature 145/144/141/108/110/84. its shinyn with pokerus lvl 50 needs 9563 more xp till next lvl |
It looks legit from the data you provided, so unless it has odd stats, I wouldn't be too worried about it. Just because one thing is a hack doesn't mean everything from that person is hacked too. The OTs are different, so even though the Suicune is hacked, it didn't come from the same game.
|
true, but OT can be hacked. Im'm kinda getting paranoid coz since i joined most pokes ive got were hacked.which is why everytime i trade i ask lol
|
Like I said, if the stats aren't odd, then you shouldn't worry too much. I'm not sure why anyone would go to the trouble to hack a regular Metagross into a game where you get one as an egg. The Suicune I can believe because it can't be found in R/S/E, but its unlikely that Metagross is a hack.
|
You can always throw the EVs into an IV calculator and post them here so people can check to see if they're suspicious or not.
|
And if you're not sure, use berries. :p
Quote:
|
So my metagross is legit as is the azelf suicune is hacked (its stats are below what they should be) and celebi is a maybe? sum1 check celebi?
|
OK, I'm wanting to ask about the Deoxys I got from GTS (hehe, my WiFi only works with GTS ATM so that was the only way). Anyways, I'll try to get IV's but it's not UT so I can't be sure and I ran out of the IV reducing berries so I have to wait a couple of days before they've all grown again.
Deoxys (Lv. 45 - Attack) OT:STEPHEN ID:40239 XP:114800 Next Lv: 6870 Nature: Hardy Date: Dec. 23, 2008 Region: Kanto Arrived: Lv. 44 HP: 106 Attack: 178 Defense: 29 Sp. Atk: 176 Sp. Def: 36 Speed: 148 Ability: Pressure Night Shade Zap Cannon Psychic Superpower Sheen: 0 Ribbon: 0 I think it's legit but I was just wanting to know what you guys thought. |

I don't think its spam. Many people might not be aware about the PID/IV correlation and how it can be used to show a pokemon is hacked. Again, this method is effective for pokemon with high IVs. Maybe Color Me Evil can put something about it in the first post. |
And what exactly do you want me to say?
|
Are either of these legit?
Heracross Pokemon Number 214 Name HERACROSS Type BUG FIGHT OT Tom ID Number 24974 Impish Nature. August 17, 2007. Day Care Couple Egg Recieved August 21, 2007. Solaceon Town. Egg Apparently Hatched. Highly curious. Likes SOUR food. Moveset. Tackle Leer Horn Attack Endure Darkrai ( In Japanese lettering I think? ) Pokedex Number 491 ( In red lettering. ) Name DARKRAI Type DARK OT Josh ID. No. 33959 Darkrai ( Has japanese lettering o.O ) Level 50 Modest Nature. December 4th, 2008. Nemoon Island. Apparently met at. Lv. 50 Likes to run. Likes DRY food. Moveset. Hypnosis Faint Attack Nightmare Double Team. |
The Heracross is hacked.
|
I have two I received from the GTS I've been wondering if there legit or not. I believe there fake but meh... you never know.
Ho-Oh Hoenn - Arrived at lv. 70. Pokeball Trainers name - MATTLE Moveset - Fire Blast Recover Sunny Day Swift Jirachi Hoenn - Arrived at lv. 7. Masterball Trainers name - AAAAAAA Moveset - Thunder Shadow Ball Psychic Hyper Beam |
I may be wrong
But, Jirachi just screams Hacked to me >.> |
Jirachi is hacked. There's no Jirachi out there that could be caught in the wild; all Jirachi are events.
|
Quote:
|
Hatched in the wrong location for NOA Heracross.
Also, the master ball should've been a dead giveaway for Jirachi... Jirachi either comes in Pokeball or Cherish Ball. |
Whats a NOA Hera? Im sorry I just dont see the hackyness of it.
|
Tom Heracross (ID 24974) = NOA Heracross. The hatched location for Martin's NOA Heracross is Solaceon town, which is the improper hatch location for the NOA Heracross. Thus, it is hacked.

This will allow ~Twister to do that kind of checking. You can also do it. If you want a link to the relevant applet, PM me (if you don't know what it is already). |
I don't check IVs because I don't care about them so there is no link I trust. Just spell out what you want me to post for crying out loud. I'm not in the mood for "Figure out the IVs!" games.
|
So if a pokemon has IVs of 31/31/31/31/31/31 you will automatically assume its hacked? thats hardly fair. I have bred some like this.
|
Quote:
|
But it can be done. Its still not fair to assume that.

This is why it is generally a good idea to include IVs when asking if a Pokemon is a hack. Quote:

Hi, I know that they can be, but i want to see what the mods think. I have every shiny 10 aniv pokemon us tour across the world except for surfing pikachu (pretty sure those dont exist). Can they be shiny? Because some people have theyre doubts.
|
All shiny 10 ANNIV events are hacked. It's in the rules.
|
Also, ANY shiny Celebi, Jirachi, or Manaphy is hacked.
All English Hoenn Mews at Level 30 (Faraway Island) are hacked. This goes along with what CME said about 10th Anniversary Shinies. Many are programmed to NOT be shiny. |
Quote:
Metal Mario posted a guide on how to soft-reset for a shiny manaphy. Its very tedious but maybe there are some out there that would go through the trouble: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showpost.php?p=4200602&postcount=16441 |
Pokemon: celebi
Level caught:70 Ball caught: pokeball Location caught:hoenn Trainer caught:10 aniv Moveset:shadow ball psychic perish song shock wave I never got a definite answer... just a maybe. |
^^It's hacked. The OT should be 10 ANIV, not 10 aniv.
Quote:
So yes, a Pokemon with only 31, only 0, or a mix of 31 and 0 for IVs are probably hacked. And the IVs do matter in determining a hack, in some cases: The roaming dog trio in Kanto are programmed to have ridiculously low IVs. Also, it's impossible to catch a wild Pokemon that has 6 31 IVs, and this is reflected on Smogon's Shoddy server where any legendary Pokemon has a limit on how many 31 IVs it can have. |
Lol fine its 10 ANIV i just didnt put the capitals in...

uh hasty nature and its like 12 july 2008 or sumthing

Is my mewtwo legit?
Lv. 70 Impish nature Atk 180 Def 145 Sp. Atk 214 Sp. Def 146 Speed 191 Ability Pressure Move set: Swift Recover Safeguard Psychic |
Quote:
|
Yes. It was. So it's good possibility that its completely legit?
|
But 10 ANIV pokemon were proved 100% to be shiny events. Not starting an argument or anything, but can you tell me why you think 10 ANIV pokemon cant be shiny Color Me Evil?
|
Are you talking about 10ANIVSH?
|
Quote:
The only shiny gba events to my knowledge are these: Wishmkr Jirachi, Agate Celebi, Berry Fix Zigzagoon, and some pichu event that I forgot. |
