Close, but the bolded part is incorrect. The Japanese version has both versions of the text just like the English ones. And they act the same as in English.(Trading for a Pokemon from a game with hacked Pokemon changes it) Being a Japanese event makes no differance.

EDIT:



I have explained it here.

Do I need to trade a pokemon with the ribbon or only trade with someone who has the pokemon with the ribbin in their PC/Team

The date is whatever the DS clock is set to. I can easily "receive" an egg on March 20, 2008, save, turn on the DS and change the date to August 8, 2009, hatch the egg...and it'd be legit.

Before someone says "Someone typed in the wrong dates while Pokesaving": If it can be done using in-game methods, it can't be considered an indication of hacking.

The Pokemon I need checked is a Tyranitar.
Nickname: TYRANITAR
OT: KIMIKO
OT Gender: Red (I think that means female, right?)
ID: 06284
EVs: 255 Attack/255 Sp. Atk
IVs (if known/calculated): 31/31/31/31/31/31 according to Serebii's IV calculator (holy hell)
Nature: Brave
Characteristic: It's shiny.
Ability: Sand Stream
Moves: Crunch / Stone Edge / Earthquake / Rock Polish
Current Level: 100
Level Caught at: It says it arrived at level 52
Location received: Johto
Current Stats:
HP 341
Attack 403
Defense 256
Sp Atk 289
Sp. Def 236
Speed 142
Pokeball caught in: Ultra Ball

I know the chances of getting a shiny, and perfect Ivs, separately. Get them both together, and I think I know the answer already. I just want to make sure, because I like this TTar and I want to use it if it's not hacked.

For it to change? You just have to have a Pokemon with a Clasic Ribbon in either players party when you trade. You don't even need to trade at all for it to change. You can just go into the menu and then immediately exit.
I'm also pretty sure that battling one would do the same thing, but I'm not sure on that.

If it was bread for then I would be less suspicious. But since it's shiny with all 31s and caught in the wild. Yep, that one's hacked.

Since getting a shiny pokemon with 31 IVs in all stats is almost impossible and, mainly, getting a pokemon which comes from jotho is really impossible, yes, it's hacked.

Hack. Milotic/Feebas can't be caught at route 203. And it's met at level 5, so it can't be hatched from an egg.

It's hacked. There's no event Celebi with this OT and ID and you can't catch it in game.


Celebi can be any OT apparently: http://www.serebii.net/colosseum/celebi.shtml

now the US disk was Jirachi, right? Either way the Promo list doesn't split off any pokemon for the US version...not even Ho-Oh. The promo list shows an OT for Celebi, but some of the data is off slightly on other pokemon so I have to wonder if the OT is locked in stone.

The OT is set in stone. Unless you actually can throw th ball and catch it, the OT/ID of event pokes are always preset. If you noticed, the celebi is given to you, not caught.

I was wondering..
A while ago(before i restarted) I had a Shiny Arceus, so I set a dread plate on him and when I took the plate back, I couldn't put anything else into my inventory.

Was my Arceus Hacked or Glitched? Or maybe it was my items?
