^Pretty much.

Eevee can only have the Anticipation ability in the 5th gen, so if your Eevee was 4th gen or under, and had this ability, then it's a hack.

Other programs would spot hacks, but since this thread is counting on Surface Check, then just by knowing how to create valid PID, they'll pass these Surface Checks. Unless they bother using Pokecheck instead of coming here...

Except for the fact that all you have to do to get pass PokeCheck is to catch a Patrat then Pokesav it to something non-DW or catch a DW pokemon from the Entree Forest and Pokesav it to something DW without ever touching the pokemon's PID? Just need to take note of the ability (Ability 0, 1 or 2) Not to mention, I think that's even easier to do than creating pokemon from nothing. -.-"

It's even easier to pass Surface Checking than passing Pokecheck's...

Can you at least tell us why it's suspicous to you? Because there's nothing wrong with it... unless you forgot "after a long travel through time"
 
Because 1) I know a lot of people unfortunately cheat and hack like crazy these days, 2) I don't want some hack messing up my game that I've put a lot of honest clean work into, 3) I'm not some expert on being able to tell complete legitamacy of a pokemon and 4) this thread is to serve the purpose of helping players like myself at least see if others believe it is a hack or not.

And thank you, for telling me there is nothing wrong with it.

Ok but none of that answers to why its suspicious to you. No person can completely tell the legitimacy of a Pokemon just by looking at it... I can go catch a Bidoof right now and you won't be able to tell if its hacked or not just by reading its description, you see?

All you need basic knowledge to know where to obtain this Kyogre. In this case either HG (location will be Johto) or Sapphire or Emerald (location will be Hoenn)
 
Alright then. My suspicion was the fact it is contained in a normal pokeball. I know it is possible to capture a legendary with that kind of ball but I've always heard it is extremely hard. I've tried myself and it was a joke at how quickly the legendary broke out so quickly. So seeing this Kyorge in a normal pokeball made me wary about it.
