Seems perfectly legit to me. Nothing suspicious such as shinyness and such. :)

...as for me, when I was online on Wi-Fi in Pokémon Shield, I saw not once, but TWICE the infamous "Machamps.com" hacker in my stamps trading hacked mons via Wonder Trade... I was also unlucky to get this hacker as my trading partner, got a HACKED G-Max Urshifu... However since it was the Urshifu I did not choose, I G-Maxed it in battle to get Pokédex information... then released it. Good riddance!

Got a handful of new ones to add...

Donatello - Blastoise (gmax) - originally hatched from an egg.

6 iv

Figured the guy bred it that way.

It's shiny and has Pokerus.

Thinking the guy gave it soup, so it would be a gmax Blastoise.

It had a Master Ball attached to it.

That along with the 6 ivs, Pokerus and shininess stood out.

Any other notes?: Came from the GTS. Just confused about it being Japanese and a Sandstorm. Does Friend Safari Viv pattern depend on the friend's pattern?
May not be hacked...
Pattern depends on your games region not friend's.
But I think gen 6 was the first gen you could chose almost any language to play in. So a person living in say Saudi Arabia could play in Japanese.
Japanese name and trainer. Sandstorm pattern.
How likely is this ? No clue.

Could be hand bred. And it seems legit.

I read on the main serebii.net site that there's an ongoing crackdown on Sword and Shield and HOME. I didn't pay it much attention but now that I look at the GTS to my happy surprise I'm not seeing all those Machamps.com and Discord.gg Pokémon being offered and cluttering the trade market.

Is Gamefreak actually actively enforcing their own rules now, or are these sites just lying low?

There's a ban wave going on now affecting them.

Thank goodness those were really annoying. I do hope that there's some human oversight on it and not just a purely automatic algorithm. Otherwise somebody might inadvertently be affected.
Yea. But the items were ok. Just tossed the Pokemon. I hope so too. It would suck, if someone innocent got affected.

I agree with you. It would be BAD if someone who DID NOT altered their save file via "who knows what things" got banned because of cheaters... anyways my Nintendo Switch Membership has expired, meaning no more random Internet trades and encounters, so no more hackmons. Well, I can now finish my PokéDex by breeding all the already evolved Pokémon I got :)
