As long as the Deoxys is in its speed form it's ok, otherwise the stats are off. Though I should point out that event is quite rare. The Mewtwo is fine. Looks like it's from HGSS and no one would hack an adamant natured Mewtwo (unless you're looking to confuse/surprise your opponent with a Physical Mewtwo).

Yeah it's in it's speed forme... I thought that it might be suss because of being caught in a masterball but I think the event is the sort where you can catch it and therefore it might make sense that someone did that... and also suss because it arrived at level 100 from kanto... but I guess it's possible... just really don't trust deoxys from GTS XD I tried looking through the even database but couldn't find one listed there with the same ID no...

I thought it would be strange that someone gave their shiny mewtwo away on GTS o - 0 If it was SRd for it would have taken ages, surely you wouldn't want to do it without negotiating for something specific with someone first...

lol I didn't even notice that it was shiny. Its still fine, that Mewtwo can be shiny.
The Deoxys is from the Birth Island event in FrLg. You got a special ticket from an event and use it to go to Birth Island to catch the Deoxys. That's why you didn't find the ID on the database, because it has the ID of the player.

While both of these Pokémon are suspicious, they're not blatant hacks (which is the only thing we can say in this thread).

Any good "checkers" out there? More than one opinion is welcome. Thanks in advance.
Ohh and I'm playing Diamond....

Nature: Timid

Level Caught at: Apparently met at Lv. 50
Current Level: Lv. 50
Stats: HP 143; Atk 97; Def 100; Sp Atk 147; Sp Def 110; Spd 154
Location Caught: Newmoon Island
Egg?: No
Pokeball Caught In: Poke Ball
Game used to get info: Diamond
Any other notes?: It should have some EVs since it has about 4000 Exp. as seen in its Exp gauge. Current Exp: 161459
and I got it off the GTS trying to find a legit looking Darkrai. This one seemed ok, but still....

Some say that a Members Card Darkrai it's supposed to say "Had a fateful encounter" or something like that,
but what if the Darkrai was reached via tweaking?

newmoon darkrais do not say fateful encounter. they are only legal if they are from the member card in platinum. the darkrai from diamond and pearl are not legal. doesn't matter what people say about the tweaking glitch.

ShaggySmurf
Actually I think you helped me figure out something. Since it was met at Lv. 50 is must be from platinum. Or it's hacked.
As for the D/P Darkrai, I'm ok with it. I caught one myself through tweaking but lost it at the GTS for a japanese hack.
Unfortunately I don't remember what info it had, so that's why I'm asking.

Both pokemons looks fine, I have no reason to believe they are hacked pokemons.

I have received numerous Event Pokemon over trades in the years I've been playing Pokemon, and I'm just getting back into the Game now. I'm aware of all the physical and obvious signs a Pokemon is hacked, but I have trouble with the Stat calculator. So I'll post up one of the Pokemon events I have currently, and I need to know how to figure out myself for future reference if the STATS in particular are hacked, maxed out, cheated etc. I've entered some Pokemon of mine into the calculator and received messages like this:

Deoxys .ATK Lv.75 does not compute!
Speed (254) should be 230 to 253.
The Effort Points or Nature may be inaccurate. ---

Does this kind of a message mean it was hacked or is it just some sort of error? I need to know what kind of message the calculator would display to clue me in on the hacked nature of a pokemon or not. As the stats seem to be the only concern of mine since all the other info on these events is clearly legit, and all of them have been UT. (Un-Touched)

So I'll post up one random one for now. Thank you and I appreciate the help.

Pokemon Species: SHAYMIN
Nickname: None
OT: Move11
OT Gender: None
IDno: 04019

EV's: (if known)

Nature: Relaxed
Characteristic: Good perserverance
Ability: Natural Cure
Moves: Seed Flare, Aromatherapy, Substitute, Energy Ball
Level Caught at: Lv. 50
Current Level: Lv. 50
Stats: HP - 161, Attack - 116, Defense - 128, Sp. Atk - 106, Sp. Def - 113, Speed - 100
Location Caught: Apparently had a fateful encounter at Lv. 50
Egg?: No
Pokeball Caught In: Cherish Ball
Any other notes?: It has a "Classic Ribbon".

Try a few different stat calculators, make sure you're putting the nature/stats/EVs in correctly. It's probably best if you wiped your EVs with berries too.

No gen 4 or 5
Are they considered hacked if somebody used hacked rare candies on it? My friend traded me a bunch of legit event pokemon (and a clearly hacked celebi with pokerus) that he got on the GTS, such as the negaiboshi jirachi, Shiny Mewtwo (with horrid nature), a bunch of foreign pokemon, and Haley's mew. But, he was a big time hacker, so they are all level 100 do to rare candy. Does that make them or their offspring (I'm trying to mm a clamperl) hacked?

Nope! Actually if the pokemon is legitimate why use a hacked item would make your pokemon suddenly become a hack?

But their stats are crap, so oh well... I know the mewtwo is real because nobody would hack a careful shiny mewtwo.

everything looks legal to me i can't find nothing wrong with it since cyndaquil can be breed and the moves check out and i can't find any data on check for 4th gen pokemon of that name or id# so legal..
