I'd be curious how he RNG'd for that without having any way of advancing the IV RNG, but meh, could have just gone for the PID RNG and the IVs up to dumb luck. Anyways

edit: wait, is the hidden power 70? Urge to get his parameter info to see if someone else can recreate that target frame or not, but i"m lazy.


Unfortuantely idk what damage hidden power has 2 of the ivs are 31 and the rest I believe are 30, as for the name its in english...does that mean its not legit?

The language of the name shouldn't be an issue. I believe Ja-Du-Su was thinking about how the international games weren't out at that time, and the japanese games have a limit of 5 english characters for names (so I've heard). However that really doesn't matter as the date could be set wrong on the ds (and would be for RNGing).

I want to see what you guys think before i trade it. I already showed him to the judge. This one seems legit but what throws me off a bit is the pokeball. I mean, i'd use a masterball to catch a shiny legendary but a shiny gulpin? hmm...

It seems to be alright. It's always possible that the person didn't have any other balls at the time and had no choice but to use their Master Ball. That, or they didn't want to risk fainting the Gulpin. Either way, it's still most likely legit.

Mega Punch and Reflect Type are level up attacks (MP at lvl 10 and RT at Base) so they both check out assuming (s)he used Heart Scales to get those moves. Plus, Mega Punch is a Gen III move tutor move (at least in FR/LG it is).

Hey, remember that Darkrai I asked about a while ago? Well, just out of curiosity, I tried putting it on the GTS, and it wouldn't accept. Does this add to being a hack, or is it an event? It doesn't know the special moves, so that bothers me.

It could've been bred. Nothing about it seems off. There's no glaring flaws that I can see... You didn't give a nature or ability, though I assume it has Sand Stream?
