Shaymin and Chatot are ok. Mew is hacked, the nature is wrong according to Serebii's list.

Just wait 'til Platinum to find out if that Japanese Regigigas is indeed real...if it unlocks the 3 Regi's, it's indeed real...if not, well, looks like you're out of luck.

Hey, you need the US one to make the event work on an US game BTW.

#3 If you can't give a reason why you think it's hacked THEN IT ISN'T HACKED.

You're wrong. A Pokémon can be hacked even if it doesn't looks like it is.

I know you've seen my posts throughout the thread and realize that I know this too. So sorry if I didn't list an asterik and post every possibility of how something can have legal stats and still come from an external device.

My post was specifically directed to someone saying "it's hacked but I'm not sure" and there was nothing indicative of a hack, nor did he give a reason for his judgment.

I'm almost sure they're hacked....movie regigigas should have a japanese OT and for the darkrai, if the first one were an event like the location says it shouldn't have that OT and ID and for the second one i've never seen "Event Site" on a location.

Hi everyone

The GTS is a curious place... I just got this Salamence:

Nickname: ボーマンダ
OT: さいきょう
OT Gender: Blue
ID: 02158
EVs (if known/estimated):
IVs (if known/calculated):
Nature: Naughty
Characteristic: Somewhat vain
Ability: Intimidate
Moves: Hydro Pump, Stone Edge, Fire Blast, Dragon Claw
Current Level: 100
Level Caught at: 50
Location received: Pokemon Event
Current Stats: 310, 176, 233, 162, 212
Pokeball caught in: Cherish

here's a crappy picture, best I could do with a webcam http://img9.imageshack.us/my.php?image=salamencenz7.png

It's exactly the same as my legit Saikyou Salamence (it's even holding a Dragon Fang), except... it's shiny :O
The first page says all D/P events are set to be non-shiny, but I really don't see anything indicating a hack there. What do you think?

If it's a D/P event and it's shiny, then it's hacked. That should be quite the indacation. (Yes, WCS Milotic can be shiny, bla bla)

I'd like to know if my Hadou Mew is hacked or not.

Mew info:
OT: It's in Jap. but I know that it's the right OT.
Id. No. 50716

Good endurance.

HP 299
ATK 267
DEF 219
S.ATK 202
S.DEF 199
SPD 207
I'm not sure about the EVs, because that's not what questions the legitimacy of my Mew.
The Mew has a dot in both Toughness and Beauty, but no points in Sheen. Are all Hadou Mews like this or what? :(

Not all Hadou Mews are like that because yours is trained.

EVs are largely irrelevant as far as hack/not hacked go (unless they're more than 510). I'd suggest using EV reducing berries and then calculate the IVs.

EDIT: Someone more familiar with how sheen/those things work should comment on that.


VV In that case, no. The only beauty/sheen stats, as far as events that I'm aware of, is the recent Milotic event.

When I asked if all Hadou Mews were like this I was talking particularly about the Toughness/Beauty stats.
