Do you think Battle Spot is a good hack checker?

[Firebolt]

Just like the title says, do you think Pokemon that pass the Battle Spot hack check are at least legal? (Would you trade one of your own Pokemon for another one if you know it is usable in Battle Spot?) The reason I ask is because sometimes I manage to get quite a few competitive/shiny (/both) Pokemon (not for nothing of course) when trading with Passerbys.

I honestly think that Battle Spot is pretty good at checking hacks. No means the best, but pretty good.

I've fought against things that were literally impossible and illegal, so no I don't think it's a good checker. It only catches the most obvious of the obvious.

I agree. I don't use Battle Spot that much, I like to do link trades for fun battles and less random battles.

NOOOO! I saw A Shiny Ultra ball Rayquaza with Dragon ascent! I saw an Cherish ball Shiny Sky Shaymin! Ive seen so many hackers that i had to make a strategy against them! I even have a battle video to prove it! Genesect with Blaze kick? ya right!

I'm actually interested in getting an answer to this. Though a lot of hacks seem obvious, a lot also are somewhat convincing (to the system, at least). How good of a checker is the pokemon bank?

As for battle spot? Not so much, as has been said.
