The "Is My Pokémon Hacked?" Thread

Okay, here's one I'm not sure about.

Its a Swoobat I just got off the GTS. Everything seems fine...except for one little detail. >_>

Nickname: ココロモリ lv. 48
Gender: Male
Ability: Klutz
Caught in an Ultra Ball
Bashful nature.
1/15/2018
Victory Road
Apparently met at lv. 37
Likes to run.

Moveset
Shadow Ball
Fly
Psychic
Future Sight

Stats
HP 134
Attack 73
Defense 65
Sp. Atk 91
Sp. Def 68
Speed 127

Is it hacked, or is it just possible the OT had their DS set to a wonky date?
 
I have a Dialga that appears to be legit, but I'm not sure.
Name: Japanese letters, I'm pretty sure it's simply "Dialga."
Level: 100.
Caught in a Master Ball.
Nature: Jolly.
Hates to lose.
Met at Spear Pillar on August 14, 2008 at level 47.
OT: Japanese name, apparently a boy.
ID: 43595.
Ability: Pressure.
Moves: Roar of Time, Aura Sphere, Flash Cannon, Earth Power, which all have max PP.
Stats:
HP: 331.
Atk: 275.
Df: 277.
Sp. Atk: 290.
Sp. Def: 244.
Speed: 236.
 
I want to check If a flawless ditto I made using PokeGen is legit.

Here is the info:
Quirky
5/3/2011
Giant Chasm
Met at Lv. 60.
Capable of taking hits.
ability: Imposter (aka it's dream world ability)
hp 258
and all of it's other stats are 153.
I made all of it's ivs 31 and all of its evs 85 (so it doesn't exceed 510)
OT: My trainer name, Male
and I made it's id and secret id match my id, so the game thinks i am the original trainer.
(I did this because i don't know how to use the legitimacy checker.)

Not legit.
Evidence: "I want to check If a flawless ditto I made using PokeGen is legit"
 
That's not really the point of this thread. And legitimacy tests don't usually go on the obvious information you've listed.
 
Pokemon Species: Sandile (Shiny, Japanese)
Nickname: メグロコ
Ball: Master Ball
Area encountered: Route 4
Level encountered: 15
OT: 03226
Moves: Bite, Sand-Attack, Torment, Sand Tomb
Stats: Withing legit range, and less than stellar.

Yeah... a friend got this one from GTS for either a Zekrom or Reshiram for me. The thing that throws me off is the use of the Master Ball. I see nothing wrong in it, but I thouht you'd check it.
Thanks.

Uhh level encountered 151... are you sure? Seems legit besides that except for the masterball which is probably hacked.
 
/facepalm: Typo. Level 15. :p Yeah, I thought it might be like that. Well, who knows, maybe it was a legit one. Ohwell. Thanks ^_^
 
I just got a shiny palkia off the gts, and am wondering if it's legit. Here's the info:

Level 100
Species: palkia
Nickname: none
Nature: mild
Sep. 17,2010 met at spear pillar at lv. 70.
Somewhat vain.
Ot: Cruz
Moves: spacial rend, ice beam, aura sphere, surf
Ability: pressure
Stats: 321 hp
276 attack
211 defense
437 special attack
277 special defense
299 speed
No ribbons.

The main thing I want checked is the stats, just to see if they work or not.

The stats are within their possible ranges, given 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe for EVs. To find out if it's legal or not, you need to figure out its IVs, though. From here it looks like the IVs could be 31/31/30/30/31/31 with the EVs I mentioned, however those IVs are illegal with a Mild nature so it would be worth sending it to RoC to check.
 
Pokemon Species: Eevee (shiny)
Nickname: No nickname
Ribbons: None
Ball: Master Ball
Area encountered: Sinnoh
Level encountered: "Arrived at level 18"
OT: BLADE
Moves: Tackle / Helping Hand / Sand Attack / Growl
Stats: 50 / 25 / 22 / 26 / 29 / 28
Ability: Adaptability
 
So, I bought an used HG. It had a shiny Rattata (And 50 other ones, which were all caught in Pokemon League) and I wanted to know if it's a legit one, since the others definately weren't.

Pokemon Species: Rattata (Shiny)
Nickname: Rattata
Ball: Master Ball
Area encountered: Route 38
Level encountered: 16
OT: 29857
Moves: Focus Attack, Bite, Pursuit, Hyper Fang
Stats: Level 16, HP 38, Attack 24, Defense 16, Sp. Atk 16, Sp. Def 18, Speed 32, Nature is Calm.

I'm more than sure the Master Ball is hacked though.

Looks like this Eevee could have come from the Trophy Garden. I would check the stats to make sure they are in the legal range (I can't do that without the nature, but you could use an IV calculator if the Eevee is still UT at L18). I can't say it's legit without a hack check since someone could have used an auto-shiny code or something similar.

Looks legal. You can catch Rattata at that Route at L16 in HG, and the stats check out OK. Can't say it is legitimate without a proper hack check, though. The person could have used a code to make all wild Pokemon shiny, or something.
 
Yeah, it seems legit. I doubt they used an "All Shiny" code, as it is the only shiny caught outside the Pokemon League. Thanks! :)
 
Species: Zapdos
Nickname: ZAPDOS

Current level: 50
Ability: Pressure

Hardy nature.

Johto
Apparently arrived at Lv. 50.

Stats:

HP: 162
Attack: 109
Defense: 90
Sp. Atk: 133
Sp. Def: 97
Speed: 114

I got this from GTS Negotiations. It seems like it was Poketransferred from HG/SS. But wouldn't say Kanto instead of Johto? Or do all Pokemon from HG/SS just say Johto?

Edit: Derp here's another one. This one is probably obvious, but nevertheless I jumped at it, since they only wanted a lv. 60 Dragonair for it.

Species: Snorunt (Shiny)
Name: SNORUNT
Ball: Quick Ball
Current level: 13
Ability: Inner Focus

Modest nature.

Well, i caught an Oddish on Route 5 I think of HGSS, and I sent it to White, yet it says it came from Johto. It looks legit, andit seems normal.

Looks normal, but you might want to get it hack checked, because it may either be bred, but it could be hacked as Snorunt cannot be caught wild at that level.
