Nature: Quirky
Characteristic: Proud of its power
Ability: Sniper

Current Level: 2

It's odd that it's Level 2, though. Seems like the original owner wanted to train it at first but then decided against it for whatever reason.

Looks perfectly fine probably the user gave up on it after noticing it's nature :D

Jolteon's video proved an ID of 00000 was possible, but is anyone else getting suspicious of so many in close succession? Any way, it looks perfectly fine and there is nothing about it that stands out as hacked, but a legitimacy check never hurts

BTW, the exact IV spread is 31/30/30/31/31/31 just in case you were wondering :p

Same I actually checked most of hte gts trades to see if i could find a shiny for a possible trade...
The only shinies were either for lv 9 reshirams and zekroms or for somehting like a level 9 Pignite or a Lv 9 Garbordor

Pro-tip: I've never found an available shiny on the GTS while looking for one, but I've found four while looking for something else.

I am suspicious of the charmander's legitness, but it's not an obvious hack, so I'll just keep it for myself.

Run it through Pokecheck, just in case.

...Pardon my ignorance, but what's Pokecheck?

You can send a Pokemon's data to the Pokecheck website, and it dissects the data, looking for any abnormalities.

You can also select and download other people's Pokemon, but that's not recommended. The server places a ribbon on the Pokemon, so it can't be counted as legit. (even if it was classified as legit, it's still cheap.)

Sometimes people just download those to breed in which case I think the offspring is considered legitimate.

what is chance of breeding modest nature and telepathy onto munna at same time? any suggestions on egg moves?

50% chance for nature if parents have it, 40% chance for ability, anyone else wanna do the math? :)

i never thought about musharna's usefulness, so i have no clue about moves...

yep

I found six already, all while looking for the DW ability one.
Two of them (Sableye & Corsola) actually comes with DW ability :D

Almost seven actually, found someone offering a Level 5 shiny Absol for any Palkia (and I do have a spare Palkia) but decided not to take it since.....I already have a shiny Absol lol. Mine is already Level 95 too.

Basically, it's just like when you're playing the game, you just need to be lucky and don't search for it :p


you are right. any ways, what is chance of breeding modest nature and telepathy onto munna at same time? any suggestions on egg movess?

Try asking that in the Help thread instead of in this thread ;)

Technically it is legit, but I still don't support it (I never supported DNS codes.)

I guess it makes a decent replacement for RNG abuse.

Is it possible for 10 ANIV pokemon to be shiny?
