I believe it's hacked because of the extremely low probability of having 31 IV in all stats. (The probability is (1/32)^6).

Are you sure? if so i want to release it.

Also can a pokémon have an ID with all 0's ??

no, an all zeros id is definitely a hack and what he says it's true...it's almost impossible to have a legit pokemon with 31 in everything but it's your choice to keep it or release it.

It's impossible for events and wild captures. It's possible in breeding, and some breeders are certainly obsessed enough to get there, but almost no Pokemon would actually need all 31s. I've personally witnessed 5 31 IVs done.

No, it's hacked. Larvitar can only be found on Route 207 at Lv7, not Lv5.

Actually larvitar can be found at lv 6 as well. (just double checked, apparently in plat larvitar swarms, and is lv 5, but at route 206. Won't know till Ig et a larvitar swarm)

And about that palkia. Since it's lv 100, did you remember to remove it's EV's before you checked the IV's? running the calculator without including EV's will give you IV's higher than they are.

About the shiny eevee from the trophy garden. I recall it being that the daily pokemon are lv 18 on day 1, and 16 the next day. no lv 17 daily pokemon. (someone double check? I remember this as it was along the same lines of taking a lv 18 compound eyes poke and SRing till chansey is your daily, for easy lucky eggs, since you'll only find chansey and pikachu with repel)

I said "almost impossible"....i know it can happen but if you compare the odds of getting 6 IVs with 31 against the odds of it being hacked (let's say it's something like 0.001% versus 99.999%....just guessing) it's more logical to say it's hacked, specially if it came from GTS, the only way to be certain that a pokemon with all 31s is real is to actually breed it or catch it yourself or that a very close and trusted friend of you did it...and even then almost nobody would believe it's not hacked, that one would only be for you to use it.

Actually, Nintendo made it impossible to get 6 31 IVs in the stats. The closest I've ever seen it was 31/31/31/29/31/31, but it's impossible to get 31 in all 6.

Read the breeding guide on Smogon. It is possible to get all 31s via breeding. TLDR: Three of the 6 IVs are taken from the parents, and 3 are generated randomly.

Yes, it is not made to be an easy task to get all 31s. The odds are quite literally against you. Even with perfect IVd parents, you still have the 3 random IVs to deal with.

But it is not impossible.

Stuff that is impossible, based on the game coding:

Straight 31 IVs in the wild. Smogon's Shoddy server even has a clause that restricts legends from having all 31 IVs.

Shiny events from 4th gen wonder cards: While the algorithym for nature (assuming it's not pre-set) and IVs are seeminly endless as far as combinations go, 4th gen events can either be ALL shiny (World Milotic) or NO shiny (everything else). The exception to this is the Manaphy egg from Ranger.

EDIT: And a nitpick. Nintendo didn't do anything. The core Pokemon games are made by Gamefreak.

EDIT: Other nitpick. Just because the closest you've seen doesn't mean that's all that's possible. Anecotal experience is nothing in the face of facts such as the game data.

Actually it's quite possible.

It's possible to have all 31 IVs on a wild Pokemon if it has certain natures. For example, It's allowed with Modest and Timid. Shoddy Battle allows those natures and 31 IVs on legendaries, and it uses the same PID codes as the games.

Mega hack, they caught Cynthia's Lucario, or out front. Lucario can only be obtained as riolu eggs or pokemon events (world08 & palcity), either breeding or from Riley.

This is probably a stupid question but can Sceptile learn Outrage? I traded mine a friend so he could defeat someone in Platinum (I can't remember who) and when I got it back he had replaced Dragon Claw with Outrage. Can Sceptile learn that now? Or has he used a moveset modifier code?
