[randomspot555]

Spiritomb IS found on route 209 from the hallowed tower! It's completly legit.

Crap. My bad. I made the mistake in thinking the Tower is a building.

Seems legit.

I went to that particular event my self.
It is a toys r us event throughout the UK that was given out at level 10. The ability and moves seem okay too.

i dont know much about telling if it is a hack because of the stats as i dont know much about them

It's hacked, or at least the moveset is.

A surfing pikachu did exist, but surf cannot be migrated.

I have an american Darkrai caught at level 40, and a japanese one caught at lvl 50
So, is one of them a hack? or can they be caught at those levels in those games?

The japanese one is probably a Platinum Darkrai which is lvl 50 so only knowing that it seems ok, but the English one is probably from Diamond or Pearl and the item wasn't released to get it so it may not be a hack but the item could have been -__-

the info looks allright except that it has been caught in a masterball,
i think that the original owner used an action replay to spawn lots of masterballs for easy catching, personally i'd get a new one since it's a sign of hacking.

 

[randomspot555]

Which means absolutely nothing.

Spiritomb is a one-off Pokemon as far as encountering it in-game, so I can see why someone with only one master ball would use theirs on it.

In every game since Gen II, there's been ways to obtain multiple copies of Master Balls. In-game, trading, and in-game cloning. None of these require a hacking device.

Outside of events and starters, Masterball capture is not a sign of a hack.

Just like Pokerus. In-game, the NPC consider Pokerus and Masterball rare. But we know that due to GTS trading and various other factors, they're actually quite easy to obtain.

Is this darkrai legit?

Hello! I would ask you if this darkrai that I got online is legit:

Name: DARKRAI
Level: 50
OT: Monkeyx
OT gender: male
ID number: 26367
Nature: timid
Place in which it was caught: Newmoon island
Stats: 144/99/106/151/101/149
Ability: bad dreams
Moves: hypnosis, faint, nightmare, double team

The person that gave me this darkrai said that it is the darkrai from pokemon platinum, but, as platinum is only japanese, it should have its name written in japanese characters, while it's written in latin characters. Oh, and it is also shiny. In your mind, is this pokemon hacked?

 

[Saberu]

It is definitely not from Platinum.

It's not from Platinum, that's for definate as it would be in Japanese text characters, if the name of the OT has wide text letters compared to the font in your Diamond/Pearl game, then it could be from a Japanese copy of Diamond/Pearl.

 

[Arceus - The Original One]

It's hacked, or at least the moveset is.

A surfing pikachu did exist, but surf cannot be migrated.

Raichu can learn Surf, as you can obtain a Pikachu with it in Pokemon Battle Revolution, but the Pikachu from Battle Revolution has the OT Trainer's name as: PKTOPIA, in Blue.

Also Raichu, cannot learn Flamethrower or Earthquake naturally, so it's hacked.

This Entei legit?

It's hacked as the only Entei that can come from Hoenn is the 10th anniversary Entei (and ROLAND is not a 10th anniversary OT).

 

[Saberu]

It's not from Platinum, that's for definate as it would be in Japanese text characters, if the name of the OT has wide text letters compared to the font in your Diamond/Pearl game, then it could be from a Japanese copy of Diamond/Pearl.

Japanese games can have Pokémon with English characters.
They have a five-character limit.
Therefore, the darkrai is from an English game.

By the way, I know some noob that used her masterball on a pikachu in LeafGreen.

Who? You're looking at 'er. ^^;

 

[Arande]

Spiritomb is a one-off Pokemon as far as encountering it in-game, so I can see why someone with only one master ball would use theirs on it.

Actually you can get more than 1 spiritomb. it's just that you need a keystone and talk to 32 people underground each time. So most just breed it instead of dealing with all that again.
