That's certainly possible, in Platinum it is obtainable at level 49 on route 228. So it's probably just a ditto caught there at night.

Guess who!?
There is a hack check thread. http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=358447

I'll be moving this very shortly..

Yeah sorry about that. I looked and couldn't find it, "if it was a snake it would have bit me!" (old southern saying).

@ DannyBoi, (love the name, fan of Danny Kaye?)

Thanks for your response but we do understand it was DIGLETT and not ditto. I haven't played thru Platinum that's why and thought the level was set kinda high but guess I was wrong. I've always wanted a blueish Diglett and can now MM for one. Traded a freshly caught Kadabra in SS's route east of Saffron & west of Lavender town. Thought it was a fair trade and it was without an everstone! I'm nice.

Thanks HackCheck!

Hey guys. Here to check a shiny Skorupi I just traded for. The location where it hatched has been bothering me so maybe the experts can help someone as ignorant as me.

Nickname: SKORUPI (no nickname)
OT: Mat
OT Gender: Male (Blue)
ID: 48509
EVs (if known/estimated): unknown. It appears to have been randomly ev trained.
IVs (if known/calculated): unknown due to not knowing the evs and not having enough berries to fully scrub it.
Nature: Jolly
Characteristic: Likes to thrash about
Ability: Sniper
Moves: Bug Bite, Toxic Spikes, Pursuit, Night Slash
Current Level: 36
Level Caught at: hatched at level 1
Location received: Faraway Place (August 13, 2010)
Current Stats: 87/55/83/36/56/70
Pokeball caught in: Generic Pokeball

Extremely sorry for not having the evs/ivs. I poked around with the iv calculator and it seems that it probably doesn't have perfect ivs, but since I don't know for sure...Anywho, I've seen pokemon with "Faraway Place" as their location before but I've never figured out what place(s) in the game register that location so that's why I'm here to check on this guy.

Fortunately, the pokemon I traded for it can easily be rechained so I'm not too concerned about getting ripped-off.

Does it say "Pokemon Ranger" right before "Egg Arrived"? If so, then it looks legit to me.

That's one of mine, actually. Its IVs are 31/31/31/31/31/31, and "Faraway Place" happens when trading from HGSS to DPPt. I bred it in HG.

Mat 48509, 62971, and 19849 are all me.

Bond, you should've precised it was RNG'd.
(hai, btw)

Faraway place is the catching place for pokemon traded to diamond/pearl/platinum from HG/SS
And for any Pokémon from Platinum that was caught in a Platinum-specific location and then traded to D/P.

I'm worried about my Toterra's information. It says a date at the start "December 21 2010". Then it says Day Care Couple. Egg Recieved. Dec. 22, 2010.

It was a Turtwig, then trained to evolve.

Unfortunately I cannot provide a picture as I have no photography technology other than my PSP camera which I can't find, but here are the stats:

Nickname: Anguirus
Lv. 32
It was at Level 1 when it arrived as a Turtwig as the trader claims he bred it.
Anyway, onto the Stats.

Top Screen:Serious nature.

That means the egg was received from the Day Care Couple on Dec 21 and it was hatched on Dec 22.

Even if it said hatched on February 1, 1999, it wouldn't matter. The date reflects the date of the internal DS calendar and clock not the actual time and date.

Amongst the Woopers?
Are my pokemon hacked?

Okay, I went through my list and confirmed most of them. This Jirachi LOOKS legit, except for its OT. On Serebii, it says Wishmaker Jirachi should have 00001-01000. Does that mean between (and including) those numbers? If so, this was a pretty good hack :p

Ketsushi: That Celebi from ADAM is hacked. The only English Celebi given away in 3rd gen was 10th anniversary and the OT does not say ADAM and it was at lv 70. The Celebi and Jirachi are both obviously hacked cause you can't catch them through normal gameplay (i.e. using a master ball).
The others I am not sure about.

its a hack, no jirachi can have a trainers OT as all have been event giveaways. also the master ball it is caught in is also a giveaway that it has been hacked

I'm wondering about a shiny Lv.100 Gardevoir I might be getting in a trade.

Nature: Mild
Moves:
pshychic
magical leaf
shock wave
shadow ball
hp:277
att:126
speca:287
Speed:241
Speed:171

So what do you think?

that doesn't really give us anything to go on, add caught/hatch locations, pokeball it's in
