It's even easier to pass Surface Checking than passing Pokecheck's...

...Yes, certainly...since you don't even need to know what PID and that kind of stuff is to get pass surface check. All you need is a good old Pokesav and know what legit pokemons look like to create a pokemon to make it pass surface checking...-_-"

I was wondering if Satoshi's Scraggy or the PokeSmash Cubchoo comes with 2 ribbons because both of mine has a Classic and Souvenier Ribbon

Nope, only one ribbon...the Premier Ribbon... .-.

Ju da su....caught in masterball? isnt it hack?
 

manniezmoll

I'm a girl, dangit!
I ran the stats through serebii's iv calculator and those values came out

you need to strip the EVs off to find the correct IVs, since its gained 21 levels since it's arrived.

masterball doesn't mean auto-hack. some people (like myself) hack the masterballs just for the legitimate shiny finds. or they just keep the one or trade for it just for the shiny find.

...Yeah, it's in Masterball...so what? You can get at least 1 Masterball per game anyway, and as many as you want in trades, as long as you persist in looking for more. Plus, this is Beldum, one of the hardest non-legendary pokemon to catch, and shiny as well...I don't see why would every pokemon caught in Masterball be considered as hack automatically though...Not when I don't even consider the hack checking here to be "hack checking" at all anyway (that's why this forums are actually full of hacks, but no one knows about it...-.-")

Is that in 4th Gen?
Because "Route 211" as location can only appear in 4th Gen games.

Seems fine, but I don't know much about MYSTRY Mew, so I'll let the others decide.

...What is with the IVs and EVs?? -.-"

Um, that's not legit.

That Metagross is from Sinnoh. The Metagross was caught in a Master Ball, and the only way to catch wild Beldums in Sinnoh is via the swarm on Route 228, which produces them at Lv. 53 (or Lv. 51 and 52, in Platinum). Since it was Transferred at Lv. 47, it's hacked.

Now it looks fine to me, but I guess that's cause I have always wanted a Shiny Ponyta. So maybe that's why I think it looks fine. Anyway, I just want someone else to take a look at it for me.

looks fine ... a lot of traders doubt master balls, but if you're hunting Shinies you save your masterballs for them and SR for the Legendaries ... and shiny ponyta are awesome ... looks fine, the moves are the ones that the game would assign to a Lv. 40 ponyta (most likely), and all Ponyta caught on Rte. 28 in HGSS are Lv. 40 ... so I'd bet you dollars to donuts (hehe) that she's legit (odd I guess it might be a he ... why doesn't the form ask the pokemon's gender?) ... unfortunately you'll have a hard time trading it here ... but as a keeper she's the bee's knees (hehe ... I did it again)
