Assuming the OT/ID No is not a known hacker's combination, it looks legal.

Wrong, Frogadier is catchable at Friend Safari (mine has them if you want to check) so you can catch a female there with Premier Ball and hatch it into that one, Toxic Spikes and Camoufalge are both egg moves, the flawless IVs are also possible and not that hard to get with how breeding works nowadays so unless that player is a known hacker I say that Froakie is legit.

2 Pokemon I got last night while wonder trading I think are hacked, they're just suspicious to me.

The Zapdos is catch-able at Pokémon Platinum so it can be shiny and from the Sinnoh region so that Zapdos is legal.

I disagree about giving away full EV trained pokémon, they are very easy to get nowadays, with pokérus and all you can get 50 EV per horde, also good IV offsprings are easy to breed.
You can also catch Buneary with Love Ball at Heart Gold and Soul Silver so it's possible to have an offspring with that ball. Everything seems okay to me.

The ID number seems a bit odd, but you can catch a Wartortle with Dive Ball at a Friend Safari so you are able to have egg moves, such as Yawn, with a Dive Ball Squirtle.

The chance of this Zapdos being legitimate is miniscule, it would require a stupid amount of waiting for the delay to RNG a seemingly random TID just to make a terrible spread shiny.
Plus it's WT...

Someone traded me this thing on wonder trade, thought I'd post it here. Obviously I'm pretty certain it's hack, but is there a definitive reason anyone can see why? Other than that it's unlikely.

This is a hack. The chances that you can get this through SRing is way less than 0.000001%

I agree with Naemeria here, you would have a better chance finding 50000 shinies in the wild than soft resetting for this. Even after 1500+ soft resets and finally finding the shiny ho-oh, you still have to chance for IVs in specific categories and nature grind too. Another 1500 SRs later you find another one except its perfect if is now in special attack instead of defense, ext. People need to think about these kind of things and it all adds up to chance and mathematics.


EDIT: I have been building a list with a ton of known hacker names and ID numbers. With a moderators permission I'll see if we could get the first post updated with the long list.

That is a great idea, will help a lot knowing if we are dealing with hacks or not.
