Super bad hack.
1. Smogon is a common hackers OT
2. The dream radar mons can't be shiny
3. And a perfect shiny HP spread itself (if you get it through WT/GTS) is 99,999999999% of times hacked

 

[yesonions]

Just curious how you know it's a dream radar mon?

HA dream ball thundurus can only be obtained through the dream radar. And those can't be shiny

Alright, thank you Reisuke!

Do you know where you got this? If it's from GTS/Wonder Trade/Passerby, it's most likely hacked, but it's legal. I googled the OT and TID, but didn't find anything.

Can someone please tell me if this Pokebank Celebi is legit or not?

Celebi - Timid - Natural Cure - Luxury Ball - 26/17/31/31/31/31 - OT: BigHaller (33871)

I got it by trade from some guy on the marriland forum

I still wouldn't trust it, unless they guy TSV'd it himself or something. It's legal to use, but I would avoid trading it here.

It might be:

I haven't checked if it is his or if he got it from someone else.

I'm pretty sure the pokebank celebi couldn't be SR'ed. (Do not ask where i got that from)

ss1234 i'm pretty sure nicknames can't be blank. I'd say hack

Where you got that? It's a hack none the less. The OT's pretty strange + shiny masterball azelf.

I'd say hack but it can be legit

It's only got the 3 default IVs and a lame nature so it looks like somebody just SRed it for the shininess. I couldn't find anything on the OT and ID so it's hard to say for sure (meaning you probably shouldn't trade it here), but it doesn't look suspicious at all.

 

[ss1234]

Thanks guys

 

[keroblade]

Could someone please tell me the origin of the following (and if it is redistributable):

Raikou -Timid - Pressure - Ultra Ball - Roar, Signal Beam, Magnet Rise, Reflect - 31.02.31.30.31.31- (HP: Grass) - [OT: GHIX, ID: 13104, TSV: 3061]

It's not KB/HB.

I can't remember where I got it from / if it is tradeable.

Thanks in advance!

edit: Nevermind, I'm an idiot and found it as soon as I searched the OT. >_<

I know you said you found the answer, but is the OT actually Ｇｈｉｘ or "Ghix" or "GHIX" because that's an old smogon user (Bitterlemon) and that Raikou comes from his ENG Soul Silver emu non-redistributable, but it was uploaded to Pokecheck.

Ah okay, glad you responded. It is "GHIX", I got it from the user BarrelRoll's shop last year.. not sure where they got it from.

Guys, I have a problem. From a while I'm looking for HP Ice thundurus (I play VGC and BS single, without a Thundurus in these metagames I am no one). I found 2 guys that can trade me Thundurus (It's not free obviously) but they tell me even that their thundurus are shiny. I have many doubt about someone can obtain a blue pentagon shiny thundurus hp ice flawless in a legally way. You should soft reset it for years lol.
A my friend said that he knows 2 guys that have normal thundurus, but in truth they have hacked their own 'mons. I'm scared from this, I don't want have a hacked pokemon since if there are problems I'm in trouble. I'm talking about this: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/important-notice-re-hacking.3546559/

Can somebody give me an advice for avoid these mons? They have the same data that they have when are captured, but their ivs are hacked. I don't want problems with the GL.

The rules seem pretty unambiguous on the topic so 'do so at your own risk, knowing that they have every right to disqualify you and permanently ban you from competing'.

There are a few threads here that have HP Ice Thundurus for trade, but the Simple Questions thread, or browsing trade threads would be a better place to ask about those.

 

[Melon Vodka]

Well, I hope these thundurus are legit, I don't want be disqualified because of a cheater.
I'll ask in simple request. Thanks

They're not legitimate. They were edited, they're (at best) legal to battle and like .com already said it's your own risk to use them. Not much else for you to ask/question about it though. Either keep them use them and risk it or trade for other ones then toss out the ones you have now.

Hey, so I just got this Mew from a Passerby and I was wondering if you guys could help tell me if it's legit or not.

Language: JPN

OT: Japanese characters (4 of them)
ID No.: 03420
IVs: 10/8/2/26/11/24
EVs (optional):
Ability: Synchronize
Pokemon's name: Mew
Gender: N/A
Level: 30
Pokeball: Pokeball

Nature: Sassy
Region of origin: "A fateful encounter seems to have led it across space and time to reach Kalos from Hoenn"
Characteristic: Mischievous

Other comments (optional): My only guess if it's legit is if it came from 2005's Mew event with the Old Sea Map, but that wouldn't explain why it has an English name.
