Dragon Dance + Master Ball = hacked.

Dragon Dance is an egg move, therefore it should be hatched since as far as I know, it's the only way to get DD on Mence, and if it does, its ball would be a normal Pokeball, not a Master Ball.

And if there's any event that gives a DDmence, I doubt it will be in a Master Ball.

Well.. the Salamence from XD Gale of Darkness knows Dragon Dance, and can be snagged from Cipher Admin Eldes using most types of Poké Balls available to the 3rd Generation games (including the Master Ball).

And FlyFishyFish; yours "arrived", but where from?

I agree with halcyonXlll. XD Salamence comes with Dragon Dance and you can catch it with most balls on there. That's how I have my Adamant DDMence in an Ultra Ball.

Seems legit. If the egg was hatched in a location like the Distortion World, it'll show up as "Faraway place" in Diamond/Pearl.
 
Additionally, according to Serebii, Pokémon traded from Heart Gold/Soul Silver also have their location set to "Faraway Place". It is probable that your Chikorita originated from one of these games.

Hacked i'm afraid. That Shaymin has to have a classic ribbon, as its an event Shaymin, and since classic ribbon pokemon cannot be traded over GTS, its hacked.

I forgot to put the pokeball type in, its a pokeball. I just copied the set up from the person above me and forgot to put the ball type so master just stayed. It was caught in a pokeball and arrived from hoenn.

Is this a legit Manaphy?.. I'm a bit worried, since it was put up for a 'level 9 or below Feebas'.. or did I just get lucky to get a legit Manaphy for a simple Feebas?

They're both legit... seeing as the Lugia came from XD and Ho-oh came from Colosseum. Someone may have levelled up the MATTLE Ho-oh from level 70 to 100, but regardless, it is still legit.
