Seems legal enough, as you can catch Budew in the wild (and outside Safari Zone) in HGSS, and evolve it to make it a breeding parent to pass down Level Ball (if its female obviously)

Might be hacked though, especially the 31/31/31/31/31/31 IVs part & the generic Trainer Name...

More likely hacked, as I'm familiar with the hacker using the OT STEFANO or STEF from way back Pokecheck was still up & running. I could be wrong though, as all other aspects seems legal.

EDIT: What game are you using again? XY or ORAS? If it's ORAS & from breeding, it won't show up as "Faraway Place" unless it's hacked, or you're using XY.

I'm using Pokemon Y and he said that all his Pokemon came from ORAS.

It's outwardly legal, but yeah, 12345 is the default TID of PkHex so it's most likely hacked.

If the summary says the egg was obtained in a link trade, then it's probably a TSV hatched shiny

I looked at the summary page of the Pokemon and it says:

Egg received: 3/30/2014
From: A Day-Care couple
Egg hatched: Apparently 3/30/2014
Where: Lumiose City
Characteristic: Capable of taking hits.

Does that mean the guy who traded it to me can make shiny eggs? Is this Talonflame a hack?

Just as a point of reference for all these hack checks...are they all from the same person you mentioned the first time you asked? (Met in a GAME store and whatnot?) There really isn't a definitive way to check if pentagon pokemon are hacked without some kind of error in the editing process, and tbh, most of these look fine...if it is from the same person, and you're that worried about it...I would just stop trading them

Yes it's from the same guy. I only traded for those 3 Pokemon that I've mentioned here already. It was a moment of weakness where I thought I could be getting something amazing without thinking of consequences. When I read about hack checks, I got worried. I wanted to put my mind at ease by asking here. I won't be trading with them in the future. I think it's a lot safer to build my own Pokemon. At least I know where they came from etc. After all it can't be that hard to create a decent team. That's one of the main reasons why I joined this site in order to learn how to do that.

I'm (and anyone would be) 99.9% sure that Terrakion is hacked. Never trust anything like that coming from WT or random passerbys.

A flawless shiny Gen VI legend that came from wonder trade...

Gonna take a shot in the dark and say it's probably (aka: almost positively) hacked.

Any proof its hacked though?
"Proof" doesn't work like that this generation. I'm not going to get into specifics, but unless the hacker is an idiot, there's seldom evidence of hacking.

That said, you should consider the source of the Pokémon above whether it has a large "I am a hack" sticker on it.
This used to be somewhere in the rules (although it's since been deleted), but there is a common sense clause in hack checks.

If a Pokémon is most likely hacked, then the requirement of proof falls to the person trying to convince others that it is not hacked; not to those trying to prove that it is.

Before any further needless conversation about this goes on, the Pokémon is most likely hacked. If you wish to trade it here, then please provide evidence (videos of the trader soft-resetting, etc.) that it is not hacked.
 
I got this off of the Wonder Trade recently. That's enough to make me suspicious enough to throw it into a "Suspect" box until we get something like Poke Check, but I figured I might as well post it here just in case anyone has seen this specific Pokemon or, at the very least, the OT/ID combo before. Or if there's something obvious I'm missing.


Language: Japanese
Species: Umbreon
OT: Wolfie
ID 09366
No.: 197
IVs: 31/31/31/31/31/31
EVs (optional): Appears to be max HP, max SpecialDefense, and the rest in Defense, according to Super Training
Ability: Synchronize
Pokemon's name: Umbreon
Gender: Male
Level: 55
Pokeball: Luxury
Shiny?: Yes
Pentagon?: Yes
Moves: Wish / Protect / Heal Bell / Foul Play, in that order
Nature: Calm
Region of origin: Kalos
Characteristic: Likes to thrash about
Ribbons: none
Other comments (optional): This would be easier if ORAS wasn't released, because then Foul Play + pentagon would be the obvious issue. But, someone could have bred it and changed the moveset later, especially at that level.

-Egg hatched Lumiose City, 5/13/2014. Egg received the same day from a Day-Care Couple.


If nobody pops in to say it's legit, it's really no skin off my teeth since I already have an Umbreon I use with the same moveset, just not shiny. Mainly, I'd like to know just in-case I ever decide to give it to a friend or something since I'd rather not distribute hacks at all anywhere.

EVs (optional): Most likely max. HP and Attack
Ability: Pressure
Pokemon's name: Spiritomb
Gender: Female
Level: 100
Pokeball: Dark Ball
Shiny?: Yes
Pentagon?: I guess yes
Moves: Shadow Sneak. Sucker Punch, Trick, Will-O-Wisp
Nature: Adamant
Region of origin: Hoenn, Sea Mauville
Characteristic: Takes plenty of siestas
Ribbons: None
Other comments (optional): It could be possible, I guess but the fact that it is shiny, holding a Choice Band, having max. PP, perfect IV's questions that it's real.
 
It's really easy to just breed your own and get it SV hatched, less risk and same reward (smart economics).
Yeah, but I don't care about the shininess in this case, especially since I like regular Umbreon more. I'm just posting it here just in case if anyone knows either way for certain on it in case I decide to give it to a friend or something.

If it's the one caught at Sea Mauville (not hatched there), then it's probably a hack

Suicune is most likely hacked. Celebi is hacked for sure

Not necessarily; from a glance, it looks like one of those Jungle Tour celebis from Japan back from 2006 (iirc, it was 06?)

Judging from the derpy IVs/Nature, it's not out of the realm of possibility to obtain one from the Gen IV/V GTS back when it was still active.

Suicune I wouldn't trust unless it came from someone who's known to RNG abuse.
