To let you know what it says on the status screen on a event Pokemon, using my Pichu from Gamestop for an example:

Jolly nature.
3/9/2011
Sinnoh
Appearently arrived at Lv. 30.
Fateful encounter.
Somewhat of a clown.

This is the same for almost everything that I have that came from an event, however the beasts has something different. "Had a fateful encounter at a special place."

But thats a special Pokemon. At the end, it should say "Sinnoh/Johto" when sent from Gen4 to Gen5.

Yeah, that's what I was suspicious about because on bulbapedia it said Pokemon Event for where it was caught
So, you guys think it's legit or not?

I have never heard of this before , I will begin researching to find out , but if I recall , the program the hackers use to make these pokemon can have a blank met at , this will make it met at --------------- , sorry to say I think you 2 got hacked pokemon , I'll check into it more before giving a definite answer.

the abilities CAN be obtained through breeding , odds are the parents were from the dreamworld , I will need the other stats to tell for sure but it looks legit

Unfourtantly, the "-----------------" means hacked. I know because I got a hacked shiny Dialga on GTS, and when I sent it to B&W it said for Location Caught At: ----------------
However, I don't think you should get rid of them, that would be a waste, like I did not release or send the Dialga back to GTS. I worked hard to get him.

As of now, the only gender for DW Pokemon is male, and abilities and moves can only be obtained from the female when breeding.

They used the "catch other trainer's Pokemon" cheat code on an AR or something like that. I can tell because I used to be an avid cheat code user (now I only use the AR as an absolute last resort). So, yes, it is hacked because it has legit stats but was not caught by legit means.

Releasing it should not harm your game. I recieved a hacked shiny Misdreavus in a trade once (over the GTS, I had put up a Murkrow asking
for Misdreavus) and I released it without any trouble (It was an obvious hack, first of all it was caught where Misdreavus could not appear, and it was caught at level 100).

If I find a pokemon that has a bad word as a name on the GTS. Is it hacked?


And also: is any shiny Zekrom and Reshiram I find hacked?

So just to make sure E4All manaphy when transferred to Gen 5 should be from Sinnoh and not -----------. It also has EVs but hasn't gained Exp so I assuming hacked.
