This may be going against the forums rules about cheating devices. But its not official about them. My question is how can you tell if you Pokemon is a legit Pokemon and not a one gained thru cheating devices?

I'm asking this cause I'm looking to trade with a friend, but I don't trust him to use legit devices.

I'm not completely sure as I've never personally encountered a hacked Pokemon...but I think you can tell by looking at the place where it was caught. For example, if you see a Ho-Oh that was supposedly caught in the Power Plant, you know it's hacked.

And I'm not even sure if hacked Pokemon can be traded in the first place. I think the trade fails if you attempt to trade one.

Its ok, I dont think its aginst the rules unless you say something like "0mg I
le1k L0000v3 th3 -insert cheating device-!?!?!?!?"
I have no idea, I dont usually trade with anyone I dont know, so its not really a problem with me...
