Any other notes?: Thought it might be a hack since it's level 5 and not level 1, like a hatched Pokémon from Unova is. But it could have also been traded to Unova from a game that had eggs that hatched at level 5. I've run a Pokécheck and it seems to have come up clean.

Edit: Just did a run up on the name though, and that did not come up clean. So it looks as if it might be a hack. Not entirely sure though, since the user number itself didn't show up. So maybe the trainer had the same name. And none of the IV's showed up as 31.

Here are the Iv's it came up with (max/min): 18 7 6 16 9 14

It seems pretty close and not out of wack.

Just wanted to double check on this.

It looks legal to me. If it was hacked, they would probably have 31 ivs and have either a modest or timid nature. They might have levelled it up or used rare candies to get it up to level 5.

Called it right Shine, the ID No. Is a notorious hacker and their ID on their hacks also differs a few higher and lower than 01337 mainly with a different OT but on Pokecheck I found the above link of their hacked Arceus, sorry the link is posted above the quote my phone is really bad with copy and paste

I just wanted to mention that this OT is a default OT in an App similar to Pokegen. :3

It's definitely hacked, as Zapdos caught in Platinum is supposed to be at level 60.
Secondly, I calculated the IVs and all of its IVs are 0 (the way you described the judge saying that all stats were bad indicates it so), which makes it all the more suspicious.
I'd suggest to release it, honestly.

Allright, I'll release it then. The judge fist gave decent for all stats and then bad, so that pretty much sealed the deal for me.

Thanks for your reply!

Here's the short-and-sweet version of what I PM'd you.

-The only way to get legal flawless Ditto in Sinnoh is PokeRadar RNG manipulation.
-This Ditto has been leveled up in the DayCare, but has 36 really weirdly random HP EVs.
-OT/ID did not come up on Pokecheck on public or not public.
- If you know what IVs are, why bother hacking a useless nature?

The HP EVs are really strange. But I don't think this Ditto is hacked.

The Meloetta is hacked. It should have a Japanese name if its OT is also Japanese.

The Ho-oh looks like the one you can obtain using the Pokemon Dream Radar. Since it has a not so good nature and no 31 IVs I'm going to say its legit.

The Meloetta is hacked. It should have a Japanese name if its OT is also Japanese.

GreedyChibby, Legal is the word not Legit. I guess you should know this by now that there are hacker who can create just perfect looking hacks.

Eitherway, Japanese origin Pokemon can have an English name as far as I know, Japanese Pokemon can have English names.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

the problem is that i wish i known the true origin before transfer that would of helped alot more but im not sure but I think it may be the movie 12 but the owner doesn't seem right if it white but i can't read japanese but if it matches this event base then its legal but as of know i have no clue about this one but i feel its a hack for some reason just a huntch I can't firgure out how but i have a feeling i rather have another persons opnion on this as well.

looks legal to me

@greedy just cuaz it has poor ivs doesn't mean its legal btw people do hack bad ivs as well and dream radar can be rng abused so a legal dr ho-oh can have decent ivs as well...

It's a mystery.
Just a quick question. It's not possible to get a lv. 1 Ditto is it? I'm pretty sure you can't breed two dittos to get a ditto. I saw a few lv. 1 dittos on the GTS but they're likely hacked.
It's impossible to get that kind of Ditto, as Ditto can't breed with itself.



And meanwhile, I have a quick question that I've been very curious about. Directed to those knowledgeable with RNG abuse, is RNG abuse possible in Gen III?

Yes, there is a guide for it on Smogon I believe, and Hozu has written a guide as well (they may be the same guide, I don't recall). Though, the spreads in gen 3 are limited and with each new game that comes out there is less and less reason to go back to gen 3 aside from prestige, favor, or some obscure move tutor move (Seismic Toss Registeel is probably the most useful, though I've seen Dynamic Punch Metagross around, too).

Ahhh, I see. So in this case, while I know it's possible to obtain this one, I'm unsure if getting this IV spread is possible.
I got this particular Mew in a trade recently (it was likely cloned), and it seems to check out. Though I'd like to get a second opinion on it.
