I realized that my Dream Ball Tauros has the ID 00000. Could Pokemon with this ID cause trouble to your save file? (i.e possible corrupt)? Thanks!

Nope, having that TID won't cause your game any harm.

Thanks! I just need that Tauros cause it helps me with leveling up stuff!
A while ago I got a shiny flawless Jolly Carnivine. I was told it was hacked(on here, for clarity), but it was hatched from an egg, and the OT doesn't belong to a known hacker, which makes me think it's probably legit. Is it bad to keep hacked Pokemon in the box? Do they hurt your game in some way, so you should release them? Assuming the Carnivine is hacked, I still don't want to release it if there's no reason for the purpose of the Lotto ID.
They don't hurt your file in any way. So you can keep it if you wish. Although, i've read somewhere that if you use a hacked mon in battle over battle spot, your file may get restricted in battling over battle spot (not sure if this is true though)
Btw, it's hacked for 99,9999999...%. You got it over wondertrade if i remember correct. That + the shininess and the IVs and nature make it look like it's bred then edited to be shiny and all (and a mon can still be hacked even if the OT isn't a known hacker)

Again, I told you, I got the code from a friend, idk where he got the code from though, maybe from a pre-release somewhere in Japan? I was just given the code and starting SRing. I can trade your stuff back if you feel unsafe. He had a bunch of codes which he gave to the PS wifi room.
I don't see anything suspicious and if you know where you got it from, it's probably legit.
My doubt was only about the date of the Event. Ok thanks :)
You can change the date on your 3DS at will..
That event was farmed to hell and back, the chances of it being illegal is extremely slim considering the IV's arent even perfect.
Clearly says "HK". HK stands for Hong Kong and is no where near Japan. There was no pre-release for this event at all.

"Hack" related PSA courtesy of Esmeya (re-posting so you don't have to follow a link / expand a quote box).
TL;DR version: Don't use Maxsoft Shiny Rayquaza (OT: SG Summer'15) in competition, it will [even if incorrectly] be flagged as hacked.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Was talking with some others and on the subject of VGC I'd like to address something here in wifi (because I noticed a slightly increased interest in VGC here for 2016) as well as on the proper forum and then it will be in the hack check thread's OP. This may not apply to any of the frequenters or a good majority of them, please do not reply to this post with questions if you have any PM me.
Maxsoft Shiny Rayquaza's (aka Singapore Summer 2015 Rayquaza) OT name is one character too long for any of the games to register correctly - OT: SG Summer'15 . It is flagged as a hack because of this reason, Maxsoft - the distributors and makers of this event coupled with Nintendo of SEA region have been contacted numerous times by many people to fix this. They deemed "nothing was wrong" with the event or that people were in the wrong for this to occur.
This one character too long issue has also happened with two Nintendo of Korea events, most notably Jirachi for their release of the Wishmaker movie (after almost a decade of NA, JPN and EU/PAL) receiving the event. The difference is NoK actually paid attention to the response of customers and fixed it within the week of its release, but they too kept sending messages back to complainers that there was nothing wrong with the event and that it was made untradeable on purpose. Maxsoft still doesn't care at all about the fallacy.
You cannot trade Maxsoft Rayquaza in any other way other than local trade - it's flagged as a hack at tournaments for this reason - the games programming registers it as an invalid combination because the number of characters is "impossible" through normal means. This is very much like having a Japanese OT/Nickname on an English language save, but less dubious. Don't use the event Rayquaza with the OT: SG Summer'15 if you do you risk being DQ'd. All other Gen 6 Rayquaza are valid, however until TPCi, Maxsoft or Nintendo "SEA" address the issue with their Rayquaza, which is looking like never, Maxsoft Rayquaza will always be ineligible. All of these Rayquaza are shiny.

Well I did get this Xerneas from participating in this week's SmogonVGC tournament. I was questioning the legitimacy only because of the 0 Attack IV. I'll have the donor where he/she got it from.
EDIT: mkay so after being an idiot it was brought to my attention that i should have filled this form thing out. thats my bad, i'm an idiot, so go ahead and take a few seconds to judge me. alright then, now that that's out of the way heres the info (note: there are 2 mon. im startig with this one because i already have all the info for him, the 2nd mon i havent gotten arround to IV calculating or anything like that)

There's a form to fill in.
my bad, again i saw the massive wall of text and kinda spaced out. tats what happens when you log on to a thread half asleep i suppose. anyways ill edit the above post in a little while with the form filled out. thx
Go with your assumption. There's no way to tell if it's hacked or not (unless you find the same pokemon from a credible source, and even then it could still be a hack). Better safe than sorry.
i appreciate the info
Hello,
It is said in the 1st page that "Pikachu can have Endeavour via a Generation 6 event".
Pikachu can also have Endeavor as an evolved form of the GameStop/Spring 2010/Shokotan/Mikena Shiny Pichu event from Generation IV. It must be shiny and at least Level 31, if it is not pentagon. (The Pichu events were all Level 30)
I hope this is a good place to post this.

A legit pokemon caught in a hacked master ball is considered a hack or is it still a legit pokemon for battles?
Also, is there any trouble with a pokemon holding a hacked item like a scarf or a life orb?

Most people won't have a problem with either, but don't be opaque with your opponent about it.
Got this as an offer for my Gligar off the GTS and highly doubtful, could someone take a look?
