Thanks for the update, how can I check if these are legit and non hacked? Pokecheck is down for maintenance. These guys are on my tournament team so Ill prolly have to replan the whole setup if I cant replace these two
Use.the.form.on.first.page.

Look at the summary screen on your DS and fill out all the stuff in the form.
 
I made a post before but I didn't get a response so I'm going to try again.

Any idea if this is hacked?

If your looking to trade, then your in the wrong thread Bud. You should go Here (this is a link to the SRSQ thread btw). You'd have much better luck there, as this is a thread to check for hacks, not for trades :P
 
A friend gave this to me on my Pearl game, then I transferred this pokemon a while ago and forgot about it XD never really cared for it anyways ~
I'm pretty sure it's hacked, but just a precaution;

Level: 32
Pokeball: Cherish Ball

I don't think it can be generated from an English cart with a Japanese OT. I assume you quoted English being the language due to the language tag in game.

Hack of that?
To mimic this

EDIT: Does the OT match the one from the second link?
EDIT 2: Made explanation more elaborate.

Checked the OP, I found out my 6IV Bold Cresselia is hacked. Wonderful. (Didn't get it from here, so it's all good! ^_^)
But onto other potential hacks!

Species: Suicune
OT: Wynter
ID No.: 32760
IVs: 31/31/31/31/31/31

Ability: Pressure
Pokemon's name: Arendelle (I dont even)
Gender: Unknown/None
Level: 100
Pokeball: Master Ball
Shiny?: Yes
Moves: Scald, Rest, Sleep Talk, Calm Mind (Taught these myself. I forgot what it's original ones were)
Nature: Timid
Region of origin: Kanto
Characteristic: Alert To Sounds
Ribbons:None
Other comments (optional): I'm just suspicious after found out the Cresselia was hacked. Both came from the same person. If you want me to fill a form for Cresselia too i'd be glad to!
 
That Suicune is hacked with 100% certainty.
I concur. Impossible gen 3 IV spread, and the 85 EV's indicates a hack, as it's an option in most programs which is selected when the hacker is an idiot has no knowledge of competitive Pokemon.

Edit: strictly speaking Timid 6IV is legal from gen 3, however due to a glitch with the roamers, they are forced to have 0 IV's in everything minus HP after the game has been saved and reloaded.

Also Suicune is a roamer incase you didn't know in Gen 3 FRLG, and no, even though suicune can be captured in HGSS in the Kanto region, it is still tagged with Johto, not Kanto.

I got this from a trade, is it possible for it not to say JPN but have a Japanese name?

While the Japanese name is possible off an English regioned cart (Via TID renaming abuse) It is impossible for the victini to have a Japanese OT and the Japanese characters aren't available to English players. I'd go with hacked.

The Roamer IV glitch is gen 3, not gen 4 and it only affects RS and FRLG

Here's the thing though, Suicune can be caught at Route 25 in HG/SS. Which is in Kanto, so wouldn't that mean it could be from HG/SS too? (I'm not saying its legit, just pointing something out)
OFC I could be completely off the mark here

I never said you were an idiot, I was just pointing out that they way you phrased it made it seem like the roamer IV glitch was present in Gen 4, when it wasn't

Nope, it arrives from the Johto region even if caught in Kanto on HGSS.

Alright. I fixed it.
 
Just wondering if I could get a quick review of a Pokemon to see if it was hacked. I recently traded for it and would like to make sure, if possible. Thanks!

Good, that's what I was hoping for. Thanks!

I was a bit worried about both Def/SpAtk being identical, and SpDef/Spd being identical, but OT could've been EV training it. If anyone else sees something out of the ordinary, definitely let me know.

Thanks again.

I'm building a team for a match with a friend of mine where the rules are all pokémon must have 440 or less BST, no mega evolutions, no huge power, no wobbuffet and no NFE pokémon unless they play differently to their evolutions. I was originally intending to use a prankster copycat Riolu for my team, but it turns out that doesn't work in gen 6 (wish I'd found out BEFORE I spent a week breeding one). Anyway, I still need some items for the match, and also a replacement pokémon.

Could anyone trade me the following stuff?

1. Assault Vest
2. Volt Absorb (Hidden ability) Pachirisu (yes, really) - or a friend safari containing one!
3. Leftovers

Can offer spitbacks of the following pokemon - modest rotom, impish riolu, adamant kecleon, adamant mawile.

Thanks
I think you'll want to ask in this thread instead.

It is legally possible from BW2. I can't check it against Pokecheck's database, however, since it's down for maintenance.
