If i remember correctly that Ash name seems familar i think that is a hack combo number so im thinking the salamence is hacked, for the next one I can't remember the name for the a hack site that has the same name for all there hacks but for now it looks fine, the pupitar looks legal to my knowledge but i never seen that OT and id so im not sure,the scizor looks fine as of right now the ivs don't look so great though when i plug them in a iv calculator which is a good sign being legal i did to check because certian spreads in heartgold and soulsilver don't exist in that game. I also plugged in for the latias the ivs are not so great as well so as of right now it is legal. The greninja looks legal to me. If anyone else disagrees just go on and double check a bit tired today so if i missed something go ahead and correct me.

snip

Dialga and Palkia #1 are hacked; Sayuri 11536 and Ash 01337 are both hacked OTs. I believe the Palkia is legal, but I don't remember if the Dialga/Palkia from Spear Pillar could be shiny or not.

Due to being given this pokemon in school. I want to know if this pokemon is legit or not. I received it awhile ago and ran it through the pokebank. But I still wish to make sure. Thank you in advance.
snip

Ninetales looks fine; couldn't find anything on the OT.

I have 2 pokemon I would like checked.
snip

Shaymin looks fine. However, it is basically impossible for 6th gen. events to have 6IVs, so the Diancie is probably Cyber Genned/Power Saved.

Got allot of Shiny Pokemon from the GTS I would like checked.
snip

01337 is a known hack ID, so the Salamence is hacked. The rest look fine, although a Latios in a Poke Ball is a bit odd.

 

[Zena]

Ninetales looks fine; couldn't find anything on the OT.

Thank you very much for the help!

 

[dewey911p]

I believe the Palkia is legal, but I don't remember if the Dialga/Palkia from Spear Pillar could be shiny or not.

They could be. The nonsensical decision to shiny lock certain in-game pokemon didn't come about until generation 5 where it was introduced on a rampant scale for I don't know what reason. Aside from in-game trades and maybe a gift pokemon or two (I can't recall off the top of my head) there were no shiny locked pokemon in gen 3 or 4

Thank you, shocked that the Shaymin looks ok, stinks about Diancie but oh well.

So I'm putting it here to find out if this pokemon is a fake, or is there a way to get an event legitimately in a different language. Here's hoping for the latter.

I am pretty sure this event should not have an english nickname at all, so, sadly this pokemon is hacked. :/

It may not be a powersave. if it was shiny I'd say heck ya, but perhaps the person who got it was an RNG'er and got a bad nature and so dumped it? It could be real, and yet it may not be, its hard to say.

So Diancie is back, this time with a different spread. I initially thought it had 6ivs but its not the case.

Any other notes?: I'm playing it safe. I think its possible for the ot to be Japanese and the name be in English. It's tag says its French, and it does have the wishing Ribbon. It has hp fire, and I know it has perfect defenses but I forget the last perfect iv.

There is no way to RNG in gen 6 as of yet, so I'm going to venture a guess that the Groudon is hacked. It's possible to SR for legends, but it's far more likely someone just hacked for it.

Yeah, I thought RNGing in 6th Gen was not possible yet. Thanks.

It looks fine now. It's possible to have a different languages for OT (which is usually the same no matter what) and name/tag. In this case, Diancie's French name is the same as the English name, so it checks out.

[DX 2401PT]

Quick question: I know that glitched things are considered to be hacks (despite not using ANY external programs or whatnot, unlike RNG), but I want to see if this Cleffa/Clefairy is re-create-able through "traditional" means of pure RNG.

Cleffa/Clefairy/Clefable
Shiny
Any nature
IV 31 all
Ability: Magic Guard
Notable moves: Softboiled

So basically... is it possible to breed-RNG a shiny IV 31 all Pokemon of any nature in Generation III? Since the Ability can be swapped with Ability Capsule.

Also a quick contribution, in case this wasn't brought up before:
An event Pokemon in Generation V or before can be nicknamed, if the user RNGs a game file to have the same ID as the event Pokemon.

Wrong place to ask (pretty sure you gotta use the help forum thingy), but it is possible. From what I recall, with most pokemon in 3rd/4th gen with one ability who then got another, their old ability would count as "ability1" or "ability2", with it being switched over if they had the one that paired with the new one (like if that clefairy had cute charm1, it'd remain cute charm, but if it had cute charm2, it'd become magic guard).

Not exactly true. It has to evolve for the Ability swap. So a Guts Machop brought over from RSE would get No Guard upon evolution half the time, but the Ability 0/1 doesn't matter. I duplicated a Machop 6 times and evolved them in DP. Half got No Guard despite being the same Machop.

And I realized that you CAN breed RNG in Emerald to get IV 31 all. Just takes a few steps. So never mind!

So, i got some shiny legendaries off of some trades here, which i'd like to get checked, as i do suspect (some of) them to be potientially hacked.

Spoiler: Shiny Movie 14 Darkrai

Pokemon Species: Darkrai
Nickname: Darkrai
OT: ふしぎのくに
OT Gender: White
IDno: 45093
Shiny?: Yes
EV's: Some in everything, but not fully trained (has been used ingame, judging from the ribbons)
IV's: 31 in Def/SDef/Speed, relatively superior

Location Caught: Pokémon Movie 14. on 21st April 2014
Egg?: No
Pokeball Caught In: Cherish Ball
Any other notes?: First thing that bugs me is the ID which is not the same as listed on the Event Database. However, i've seen some other Event Pokémon having other IDs as listed, depending on the location of origin, which is why i want it to be checked. Another thing to note, is that it seems to be of German origin, as it does not have a nation tag beneath it's name on my German cartridge, which makes me whonder if that Darkrai got hacked by some German dude who wanted a Movie 14 Darkrai or if it indeed is a legit one, of someone who happened to acquire it with a German cartridge of himself (which might be possible).
The Ribbons on it are the obligatory Wishing Ribbon and the Kalos Champ Ribbon

That's it for today, hope you guys can help me out yet again

It looks fine; most of the legendaries in ORAS can be shiny. But I'd still be suspicious, especially since they are still somewhat rare and that you got it from a Wonder Trade.

Darkrai is hacked - while the Wonderland/Movie 14 Darkrai can be German legitimately, the TID does not match any event (it must be 04194). Also, the event is shiny locked, so it can't be shiny.
Jirachi is hacked - as stated above, CHANNEL Jirachi can not be shiny; only the WISHMKR and 2014 Tanabata Jirachi (and the recently released one too) can be shiny so far.
Heatran looks fine - I couldn't find anything on the OT/TID, and it's quite common for TIDs to start with 0.
Cresselia looks fine - same reason as Heatran
