Nidoking looks legit and I'm pretty sure Espeon can't be in a Masterball.

For the Mudkip to be legit it must have come from an egg, but you did not state if it did or didn't therefore it's legitimacy cannot be concluded, until you can confirm if it is egg hatched or not.

Is it possible to get a shiny dream world poke without hatching/MMing for one?

So you meant by catching them in the Entree Forest? No, it isn't possible.

No, "after a long travel through time" only applies to Pokemon from 3rd Gen, in other words, Kanto (FR/LG) and Hoenn (R/S/E)

If it was from 4th Gen (Sinnoh - D/P/Pt or Johto - HG/SS) it would simply says "arrived at".

On a related note, a Pokemon caught in HG/SS Kanto will says it comes from Johto.

I don't think you can find Groudon in Sinnoh.
Get it off HG/ss to a sinnoh game. I have MY OWN Groudon on SS and it has SolarBeam. Not hacked.

Uhh yeah it's hacked because Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza inHG/SS will say Johto if it's legit, since the Embedded Tower is located there.

You're pretty bad at this.


It would still say Johto, so it's hacked.[/QUOTE

Exactly.

The Pikachu is an event, look it up on Serebii.net's Event dex and yo'll see it's legitimacy.

Nidoking looks hacked.
Care to explain why? I personally don't see anything glaringly wrong with it... (although it still could be hacked, of course). At any rate, Nidorino can be caught in the Safari Zone in FR/LG. Since the person evolved it himself, it's not unusual for it to have evolved into an English name even though it's a Japanese pokemon. ..And other than that, I don't really see much suspicious about it.


Generation 4 ability (Rivalry), yet it's from Generation 3.

Hmm...

Either it's that "ability change" upon transfering, or it's a hack.

True, but abilities actually can change upon evolution after transferring depending on PID, so it's still not definite either way without looking at the pokemon's PID and such.

Meh, I guess I feel that if someone's going to go to the trouble to hack-check something on this thread, they should explain their reasoning better than just saying "it looks like a hack" without even giving a definite reason.

as he was moon stoned in gen4, perhaps the nidoking got the gen 4 ability. if it was still a nidorino it would be easier to tell.
