It's pretty much identical in function to your regular Trainer ID, only it's totally hidden from sight and can't be found out using most normal means. It's used in the shiny calculations.

Its like the Trainer ID, but it can be used to determine whether Pokemon originated from the game that it's currently on or not..

Yes and no,

Yes it can prevent hacked event legends (only from the D/P Era) being transferred to PBR, if they aren't legit,

This is because the legends given out for D and P, all have their own secret ID, whereas all the event pokemon given out before that, don't have a secret ID (They do, but it is just 00000)

Basically, hacked D/P events can't be transferred to PBR, whereas hacked GBA Legends can be transferred.
