Ghetsis' Hydreigon was definitely hacked. It's an evolution of Zweilous at Lv. 64, but its level was in the 50s.

Nobody cares.
It -could- be legit, but given that it's from the GTS, I wouldn't count on it. Use Metalkid's IV calculator to determine the IVs. If they're something ridiculous, it's probably a hack.

I recieved a few trades on Negotiations last night, and I just want to check if they're legit.

There could be other factors, but just having Pokerus doesn't make a pokemon hacked.

I checked. It's near flawless, except for HP, which is "impossible". Hacked.

How can you check someone else's Pokemon?

I'm assuming they just put the stats in the calculator. If they did that, there's no way to tell what the IVs are at that low of a level. And, since it's characteristic is Somewhat stubborn, it can't even have a 31 IV.

I put all that in. Given that I haven't seen it, yeah, I'm probably a little off, but if the HP's 7, you don't even have to have the calculator to know it's a hack.

Are you sure the HP is 7? I can't understand why someone would hack the HP to be lower than it's supposed to be. That doesn't make sense.

No it's not. The HP should be 13.

I don't really know of anywhere else to ask this, so sorry if it is the wrong place.
I have a question about a pokemon, if anyone knows. Someone used EV Wings from an AR on their pokemon, which by itself, is not hacked. The EV's are not over 510. So, is the pokemon still okay, or is it screwed up because the EV wings were from an action replay? I'm a bit confused about this.
