Both are legal, afaik, but legitimacy is never 100% sure. Cannot really say whether they are hacked, but them coming from WT with these IVs/shinyness is really iffy.

thank you for the reply, the sawsbuck is a cool pkmn to keep to begin with. i'll see what the eevee turns up to evolve to regardless of hack possibility, its a hard choice atm.

The Sawsbuck can't be legit. You can't get sawsbuck Winter, Autumn and summer with HA + any other ball than a normal pokémon.

thanks Maverick hunter, too bad its not legit. its still is rather a cool combo for sawsbuck. i do hope i can get a winter deerling from it for my pokedex, im still missing a autumn deerling atm for the dex. from what i understand the parent will determine the form. lol i just figured out how to make a quasi legit from the hacked one: get a HA male winter and pair it with ditto.

i just got a shiny modest female cyndaquil with 6IVs. it has flash fire and its also in a luxury ball, i suspect its a hacked one due to the luck and the luxury+HA combo. am i correct?

It's hacked, and that's exactly why.

thanks, just as i suspected it was. transfer only pkmn with HA and gen 6 balls are too suspicious.

It's from the Hiroshima Pokemon Center event. I'm pretty sure it's fine, since this event didn't have a ribbon in the first place and it also doesn't match the Powersaves date.

I get the feeling that this following Pokemon is hacked:

Feebas can't be in a Moon Ball, so it's hacked.

I got something else on wonder trade this morning which looks interesting:

Pokemon Species: hitmonchan
Nickname: none
OT: AuSLove.TV
IDno: 54321
Shiny?: yes
EV's: definitely EV trained it has max atk & speed with a little in def & sp.def
IV's: 6 IVs
Nature: adamant
Characteristic: mischievous
Ability: iron fist
Moves: fire punch, drain punch, ice punch, rapid spin
Level Caught at: egg received 6/16/2014 from day care helpers
Current Level: 100
Stats: HP 241, Atk 339, Def 194, Sp.Atk 95, Sp.Def 257, Speed 251
Location Caught/bred: egg hatched 6/16/2014
Date Met: (if known) As above
Egg?: yes
Pokeball Caught In: pink one with heart shape
Ribbons: Too many to list!
item: life orb

It also has pokerus & has maxed out in all contest areas. I'm pretty sure Aus Love is a Pokemon stream on twitch which puts special Pokemon on wonder trade so I'm hoping I got very lucky, but are the Pokemon they put up on the wonder trade hacked?

I'm going to say definitely hacked, for starters, Love Ball Tyrogue is illegal as it cannot be caught in HGSS, the only way to get it in HGSS is via in-game event. Which that one is in a PokeBall and not Love Ball. Therefore making Love Ball Hitmonchan a massive red flag.

EDIT: Also, the ID is the PKHeX default ID, iirc.

You forget one thing: Males cannot pass on their pokeball.

Ok more luck (unluck!) on wonder trade, kinda losing faith in the Pokemon trading community...anyway here we go:

Pokemon Species: giratina

Espurr in love ball
Kangaskhan in safari ball
Shroomish in a dream ball
Eevee in a dream ball

Giratina is highly unlikely to be legit.

For the bank ball mons:
yes, yes, yes, no, yes, yes, yes. So only Espurr is 100% not legit.

Giratina is almost certainly hacked; it's almost impossible to get a 6IV shiny on a random encounter with no RNG.
Also, and this goes for everybody, PLEASE check Serebii's Poke Ball list in the OP (and also read the entire OP) to see if a Pokemon-Ball combination is legal before posting, just to avoid clutter.

how would a pokemon with 6 0IVs give such a statement in Kiloude city? i got a 30 IV in HP KOR panpour recently. the guy says all 6ivs are decent the he goes on to say that all 6 IVS are at 0. this panpour originated from Unova and it has 12 ribbons on its name.

Decent is actually not "decent", but more "complete ****". He says that when the total IVs are 90 or less. I'm pretty sure that the 30IV in HP isn't correct, trust the in game judge.

thank you very much. i figured that the judge was correct. im guessing the 30IV is there so the game can sho some sort of IV statement. would this panpour be hacked/RNG'd or a lucky 6 0IV pkmn? i tried to get a ledian to have 6 0 IVs already but only got around to 5 0IVs on it. had a pairing that was a potential 6 0IV but its either not possible or i didnt have sufficient patience.
