Why should he have done that?

And just because it's shiny, modest and has high ivs in sp.atk does not make it hacked. It could very well be a shouthern island latias but I'm a bit unsure about the level. Isn't the level supposed to be 50 when it is from southern island?

What is the chance of that? The way I see it, if there's only s 1% (which there is a much much less chance) chance it's legit that does not mean it's legit. It means it's very likely hacked.

Care to explain why it is hacked? The player could simply have been really lucky.

There is no way to be 100% sure about something being legit or hacked. An arceus could be caught at route 202 if there is a massive bug that no one know about, does that make every route 202 arceus legit?

That was a really bad example as there is no "massive bug" that makes arceus appear there. It is possible you know. That's why Pingouin7 asked if he could get the IVs so he could check the PID.

I didn't say I knew, I just say there's a possibility someone could accidently trigger a bug on their game but that doesn't mean every arceus that was caught on route 202 is legit. Using the logic you used anything could be legit, defeating the purpose of this thread. We use the chance of things to figure out if they are legit or not.

What? So getting the IVs to figure out the PID is wrong?

Uh... How has nobody noticed that it knows Water Spout?
It could simply be that the user misspelled water sport too. I'm pretty sure latias learns water sport.

You mean Water Sport, right? I'm still surprised that everyone managed to miss that, even if it is a misspelling.

No, not saying there's a 99.9999% chance it's hacked is wrong.

How is that wrong? Asking for more info is not wrong. You can't figure out if it's hacked or not if you don't have enough info.

Uh... I'm no master hack-checker... But the level caught at and the location received look like instant red flags even to me.

You didn't ask for more info, you said:

Looks definitely legit. :]
before you deleted your post. It did not look legit at all.

P.S. Deleting your posts doesn't help, i'm lucky I quoted it.

What are you talking about?....

There is no bug nor will there ever be a bug that makes an Arceus appear on Route 202.

There is no sure way to identify a hack? If you saw a Level 5 Arceus with Leaf Guard caught at the Pokemon League, would you assume it was legit? It would be an obvious hack. Why? Because everything is incorrect. That is how we identify hacks. By using common sense.
