I once read Timid means it was caught in another region, so I still don't know if it is hacked.
I might misunderstand you, but "Timid" is just the nature of the pokemon, where its speed stat is increased by 10% at the cost of 10% attack.

Otherwise, to me it seems legit.

This Pokemon is most likely hacked. Event Pokemon are always Shiny locked AFAIK, unless they're guaranteed Shiny ones, but getting one to legitimetly have 6IVs is extremely unlikely even if the Pokemon is guaranteed to have at least 3. I'm not sure if the Birthday Eeveelutions come with 3IVs or not but I'd personally get rid of it for the Shininess alone.

I just wanted to say that it seems like its legit, but then they used powersave to make it 6iv, since you can do it on powersave. I wish that wasn't invented.

Hacked, Dream Radar Pokemon cannot be shiny.

Hi everyone,

I just received a 2013 Movie Genesect, but I can't seem to make it relearn any of its event-exclusive moves on X/Y or OR/AS. Does this mean it is hacked? : o (When I received it it did not have any of its event moves.)

I think only Pokemon obtained in XY/ORAS can relearn event moves. If the Genesect no longer has them then there's no way to get the moves back sadly.

Is there a 100% certainty that Mewtwo from Kalos cannot be shiny? If so, I got a hacked one...

can some one pls check this pkmn?

i just did 3 WTs just now. the first got me a heavy ball choice banded lvl100 shiny Adamant Arbok (with poison fang, aqua tail, iron tail and sucker punch). it looks great but i just found out it has 6IV and caught in mystery zone 1/1/2000 at lvl20. lenty of siestas as the iv noting. all its moves are pp maxed out. intimidate ability.

i like its stats however its IVs and trainer ID are a bit suspect, even its mystery zone capture area makes me suspicious.

These would be a lot easier if you did an IV check in the Pokemon Center, but-

PKMN 1: If this has perfect IVs it is a hack. If not it may pass as a legal and legit Pokemon
PKMN 2: Legal
PKMN 3: This OT & ID No. combination is a known hacker.
PKMN 4: Legal
PKMN 5: Legal

Definitely a hack. ID No. with 12345 are known hackers ID numbers and is just about impossible to catch a shiny that is 6IV in the wild.

ty for confirming it. the OT ID was a big red flag. i'll just use it ingame for fun. correct me if im wrong, the mystery zone is a wild pkmn area. so unless the wild pkmn miraculously bred together before capture then my 6iv one cant have those 4 EM on it legitimately.
