Legitimate Pokemon Identification
Is the pentagon that determines a Pokemon's legitimacy just that? It may look like a silly question... I've read that it only determines that a Pokemon was caught/bred in Kalos. I ask because I acquired a flawless, shiny Forretress, bearing the star but not the pentagon. And while I'm 99% sure it was generated, I thought I'd see what you guys have to say. Does it just signify that a Pokemon was born in Kalos, or is it a general statement that the Pokemon is legit?

From what I've heard, you can RNG-manipulate eggs to hatch with good/perfect IVs and even become shiny. So there's a chance it's not 'generated' outside the game.
But, if other gen. 'mons have ribbons that they shouldn't be able to have, then it's 'generated', I guess. |
The pentagon only means that a Pokémon is from Kalos. I transferred a lot of legit Pokémon from previous generations, none of them have the pentagon.

another way to confirm that the pokemon is hacked/cloned is by searching the trainer's ID no./OT in the pokecheck website. If the person in question had a long list of entries then it's hacked.

About your shiny Forretress, what level is it at? Check its EVs in the Super Training screen. Was it bred or caught? What's the location? A level 100 with an even EV spread across all stats would be pretty suspicious, but if it appears "normal", then maybe it's legit/cloned. And pokecheck is down, guys :( |

OT: Ash, level 100. The EV's are maxed out, and distributed to each stat, favoring Attack and Speed. Weird, I think. To everyone who's answered my thread, you've been helpful, thanks! |
