BUT, can anyone tell or is it strictly a moral issue?1) If you breed a Pokemon with that Ditto, it is illegitimate. This is because it will have good IVs only because of that hacked parent.
2) No. Poliwhirl's stats will change to match Politoed's base stats once it evolves.
Also thanks for the quick response ive been waiting all day to level these up with the fear of them not being competitive later on lol!
