Is there any way to tell if it's hacked or not?
Like when you shinify a pokemon, it changes the ID but not the trainer name, so at least we can avoid that by asking the person to show a pokemon he's caught before.
I'm not sure I have yet to test it I will use some fooder and see
Just tested it and No it does not change your OT or ID I got a Bunnelby in a prem ball it is now in a heavy ball =P

So youre detecting no difference? Have you tried checking memory?
If this will not have any way of telling when it is powersaved edited or legitly done, it will be a harder time to avoid hacks, as I assume editing the ball (despite it being legitly obtainable) is considered hacking.
So to confirm, I have a shiny 6iv timid darkrai and modest manaphy from OT mat, both shiny.
Neither have premier ribbons. Should I assume hack or not?

Good point Just woke up il have a look to see if it has Memory
*yes thay have memory
Hm, so no way of detecting if it was edited then it seems.. This may mean were closing in on those good hacks from 5th gen and below, which is kinda sad.
Yes thay have Mem
*I also think tho the Code for the pokeballs has only been out 1-3 days now*
Yep but Lets hope the Codes for the IV changer do not ever see the Light of Day
*I also think tho the Code for the pokeballs has only been out 1-3 days now*
Lets hope so, changing the ball is almost purely aesthetically (exception of Lux/Friend) so it isnt a gamebreaking edit thankfully.
If it counts there is also Codes to change the region of were your pokemon comes from also
The only use I see for that is for MM breeding, but other than that with the SV hatching I dont find it causing any effect on the game
It's only reliable in checking if a Pokemon is legal, not legit, because it's fairly easy to make a hack that is essentially equivalent to a real Pokemon. Also, I don't think it's very good with 3rd gen event moves.
The only way for Kalos-native legendaries to be shiny is if a Powersave device modified the Pokemon's shininess, right? I ask because I received this Articuno over the GTS, which, shininess aside, checks out.

Yes, or it could have the pentagon hacked onto it, one of the two. If it got memory, its hacked shiny, if not, its pentagon is hacked.
Edit: Missed the catch location, it is guranteed to have its shininess altered through powersaves
What, that too? Let me guess, is that also untracable? (the gender stuff) If so, I fear for all those "rare" gendered pokes being altered and traded..
Legendaries with the region set to XY are unable to pass through Pokebank, even version 1.
Good to know, atleast the pokemon itself cant be hacked then (yet).

Wondering if this Mew checks out to anyone. Let me know if it is hacked.

Looks legal. I don't suppose there's any way you can post the PID?Pokemon: Mew w/ Synchronize

No clue how to do that.
Using KeyBV or KeySAV mass dumper to export the .pk6 file and then viewing it in PKHeX, or using the Mew in a battle with someone that has KeyBV set up to view opponent Pokemon and have them view the .pk6
Absol was obtainable in gen 5 through the Dream World (Rugged Mountain, to be exact). So, yes. It is (well, was) 100% possible to obtain an Absol in a Dream Ball.
As for legality, so far it is legal. Other information such as OT and IVs might help.
