4th Gen The "Is my Pokémon legit or not?" Thread

Thanks all for your input, I have released the wifi one so hopefully it'll never end up in circulation again :D

I do have another one

Celebi
Pokeball
ID - 00010
OT - 10 Aniv
Sassy
Hoenn
Arrived at lv 70
hp - 257
atk 181
def 179
sp atk 172
sp def 200
spd 136
No ribbons
and the ultimate giveaway..... it's shiny
That is what's making me ask

Regice (english)
Ultraball?? ( black with orangey shape on top)
Modest
Hoenn
Arrived at lv 40 (still 40)
HP 114
atk 51
def 96
sp atk 102
sp def 173
spd 47

Regice (Japanese)
Masterball (questionable, did they waste it on a regice?)
Modest
Hoenn
Arrived at lv 40 (still 40)
HP 126
atk 40

I was curious as to the stat changes between the two being that are the same nature and level.

(thanks for moving my thread, I didn't realise there was a hacked thread)

Thanks again all :D

Celebi is hacked, I don't think they set events to be shiny. Both Regi's appear to be legit, the different stats could be from the different Ivs. Can you pick the pokeball out on this site ?

Yep it is an Ultra ball :)

Well, I'm going to release celebi too then, I don't want to keep unlegit ones :/

And my last one I need checked is:

Deoxys
Cherish ball
OT Gamestp
ID 06218
Lv 50
Hasty
Pokemon Event
Apparently had a fateful encounter at lv 50
Nevermeltice
hp 112
atk 169
def 49
sp atk 156
sp def 67
spd 173
Classic Ribbon

Thank you, muchly appreciated :)

As long as those are its stats in its Normal form, and you of course did not receive it over the GTS, then yes, it is legitimate.
 
What does it mean if a pokemon is hacked can someone please explain thanks.
 
When someone says that a Pokémon is "hacked", it means it was either created using illegal devices or programs (Action Replay, PokéSAV), or was modified in an illegal way with said devices (such as having an impossible ability, moves from a game it can't be found in [like Lucario and the Emerald punches, but now it can have them because of Platinum], reaching impossible stats, like 999), or similar stuff. But that's not always the case. There are some hacked Pokémon that look perfectly legit to the naked eye, of course, that are also hacked.

Hope this helps.
 
Shaymin Legit?

Hi everyone

I have been given a Shaymin from a friend and I wonderd if it was real or not, Details below

Name: Shaymin
Pokdex: ???
Type: Grass
OT: TRU
ID NO: 02089
Lv: 50
Nature: Sassy
Feb 8 2008
Pokemon Event
Apparently had a fateful encounter
Level 50


Is this a real Shaymin?
It also holding a Micle Berry
 
Yes, that is the Toys-R-Us Shaymin that was given out during a week in February.
 
To expand, the reason it's Dex number is ??? is because you don't have the National Dex. Once you get the National Dex, it'll change to 492.
 
Hi there, just wondering for those of you who have Platinum what Dialga should say if caught on that game? I got a Shiny one off the GTS the other day that said it was caught at Lv. 70 at Spear Pilar. Is this right?
 
I do not have platinum yet but i researched a little and dialga is caught in level 70 at the spear pillar in the game....
 
Name: Shaymin
Level caught: Lvl 50
Ball caught: Cherish Ball (its that red event one)
Location: Pokemon Event
OT: TRU
Moveset
Seed Flare
Aromatherpy
Subsitute
Energy Ball

holds a Micle Berry
it looks 100% legit, i just wanted to make sure. i bought it off ebay, so you know. just wanted to check :)

Looks completely legit. The only thing that could make it a hack if it doesn't have the Classic Ribbon on it though.
 
What color is the OT? Also, what is the ID no.? and what nature does it have?
It seems legit so far, these are just to make sure it is.

BTW, why buy it off ebay? I'm sure someone here would be more than happy to trade you one.
 
What color is the OT? Also, what is the ID no.? and what nature does it have?
OT: Blue ID: 02089 Nature: Serious
 
By the way, most people selling Pokémon on eBay actually hack the Pokémon in the first place. Just warning you; I wouldn't trust it if I were you.

What are its stats?
