• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.

does it say hatched at lv 5?

No..................

EDIT: However, after I had a test battle with a friend, I was able to save a video of the battle. Normally, when there's a hacked Pokemon among your team, it doesn't allow you to save...

Does that make it legit or hacked? :S

unless it mentions something about an egg than it is a hack

If it did say that it was hatched from an egg, then that would mean it was hacked.
Even though it must have been bred on Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, it was migrated to DPPt and therefore should only say "Hoenn, Arrived at Lv 5".

It looks okay.

So it is legit?

Am skeptical since I got this for a lvl 1 Piplup i had up on the GTS (was breeding for a shiny with no luck so far). guess it's possible it's legit but seems too good to be true so asking the experts!

Looks legit. As long as that's not its name. Japanese names can't have more than 5 characters if I remember correctly.

Looks legit. Kind of rare to catch a shiny at the Safari Zone though.

Its fine. People Like starters A LOT. Many people would trade pokemon like Salamence, Garchomp, Metagross, etc. for one.

It's name is in Japanese, looks like 5 symbols (I just typed what it had listed for Name: instead of the poke's actual name)

Well congrats then. You got yourself a legit shiny dragonair.

No.1 looks legit. The Max Sheen condition is possible but unlikely. It seems to be legit.

No.2 is legit. The Ribbons are from the Ribbon Syndicate located in the Resort Area.

EDIT: my bad. Flygon is hacked.

Lol no, Razor Fire. Flygon is hacked.

Wait - you're confusing me.
When you send it in battle, does it says "Go, DRAGONAIR!" or Go, *something in Japanese*!"

Actually I'd contest about the "link trade" location, as IIRC, that only appears from in game trades, or when an egg is traded. I've traded many pokes between my P and Pt games, and they retain their locations. Though I am not 100% sure

And something that came to mind when the dragonairs name was brought up: remember, if not nicknamed, a pokemons name changes to the language of the cart it's on when it evolves, so it is very well possible to have a dragonair with a JP OT and "DRAGONAIR" for it's name. (I've traded pokes to my JP game just for that :)

I have a legit shiny flygon that has its sheen maxed out.. o_O

She/he said that it says Go *japanese*


EDIT: My bad. I didn't notice the Link Trade location. It's hacked.

Only if the Pokémon evolves in the game.
But that Dragonair didn't evolve in the game.

And anyway, this case is closed, since the person said the nick was in Japanese.
