The "Is my Pokémon legit or not?" Thread
 
This is the official thread for asking if your Pokémon is legitimate or not, cause threads solely asking if something is legit or not gets really annoying. Before posting, you might want to consult this thread. If you still have questions, post here.

Rules
- No going off-topic. Self explanitory.
- Don't post comments like, "OMFG ITZ HACKED U NOOB HOW CAN U NOT TELL". Such comments will result in an infraction for spam.
- Myself and Horizon have lives. We can't watch this thread 24/7. If you see spam, report it. Don't mini-mod. Mini-mod is subject to laughing at.
- You must state the following:

Other information can be provided, such as the EV/IVs, date caught, ribbons, held items, etc. Hopefully this will be of some use to some of you.

Zero Avenged January 8th, 2009 3:12 PM

No I'm pretty sure that the trainer is blue. But as for it being shiny I am not sure....

According to the event list linked in the OP, it can't be shiny.

Zebra Thunderhead January 8th, 2009 7:06 PM

Eigakan Shaymin can be shiny. I need to update the list. Not sure about the OT color though.

Pingouin_7 January 9th, 2009 9:35 AM

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.

It is actually unknown whether or not WC pokemon can or cannot be shiny. There's too little evidence to prove either side since hex and pokesav can't prove either at this point, at least not until some well known trade personally acquires it themselves (say you possibly SRed for it and finally got one as an example). Therefore, at this point, it's really up to the individual themselves to believe which is true. And yes, the OT should be red, which means the shaymin is hacked anyways.

This has been discussed and disputed on this forum before, and I can assure you that Color Me Evil, my mod partner here at D/P/P, has extensive information about said events, and has enough evidence to suggest that they can be. We have had many discussions about whether to allow them to be traded here or not, but we have decided to let them go ahead.

Since she is a keen collector and handles the event Pokemon side of things here, I trust her word.

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.

Black Omega Zero January 12th, 2009 1:36 PM

I think yours isn't hacked... it looks pretty normal to me...

ANARCHit3cht January 12th, 2009 3:30 PM

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.

I have one as well. My question is can it learn seed flare at lv.50? that's the lv I'm assuming that it was caught. The OT is in red. I went to bulbapedia and it said that shaymin learns seed flare in the 90's so I'm a little curious

Zebra Thunderhead January 12th, 2009 3:35 PM

@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.

They did the same with the Manaphy events. Those level 50 Movie Manaphy's (e4all, tru, etc...) all learned Heart Swap, even though it doesn't normally get it until much later.

If they're all at least level 36 (Venasaur must be at least 32) then they should be legit unless they have bizarre stats

Ok, then. They should be alright, they all are level 100.

LethalTexture January 13th, 2009 2:41 PM

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.

Zebra Thunderhead January 13th, 2009 3:04 PM

Unless you trade for them. XD

TwilightBlade January 13th, 2009 3:05 PM

Umm, ever heard of breeding? ._.

Also, make sure the pokemon say "Arrived at Lv. #" so you know they were palparked and not pokesaved.

Blue Tomoshibi January 14th, 2009 2:32 PM

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.

Zebra Thunderhead January 14th, 2009 4:53 PM

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.

Forgot about that, my bad.

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&current=EspeonShinyStats.jpg

s82.photobucket.com/albums/j258/samwighsgamgee/?action=view&current=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 :)
