In light of the Shiny Shaymin thing, what AR codes will cause a pokemon to turn up hacked? Things like Rebattle, Cloning, IV Check, Faster Egg Hatch?

Supposedly none of those make a pokemon hacked so it must be something else that made that shaymin hacked, probably the all shiny code or something.
 
Is it impossible to get random 31's in speed if the parents dont? Ive hatched like 300-400 aerodactyles without a perfect speed iv but a few in other stats
it is possible but you have a few things to go through. Since your breeding there is a 1 in 3 chance the speed IV from one of your parents will pass and screw it up, then if that doesnt happen, 1 in 32 chance of having 31speed.
phoenix,try this for smogon anaylsis.

Sunny Day

Heat Rock Modest MovesetEVs~ Sunny Day
~ Protect / GrassWhistle
~ Energy Ball / SolarBeam
~ Hidden Power Fire
6 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpD
Of all the Pokémon that can set up Sunny Day (barring Groudon), this is probably one of the best. The Special Defense boost works in Cherrim's favor, and it's not like Cherrim's movepool is really begging for slots. Protect is great for 2v2 use, but for 1v1 you might like GrassWhistle

Ooh, I remember breeding for Aerodactyl. It was quite a bitch since they take so long to hatch, but if you do what I recommended in the PM I sent you it should be easier.

It's not impossible, but it's about as likely as randomly encountering a 31 speed IV in the wild.

It's probably the shiny code since shiny is based on pid and trainer id, I guess if you force the shiny it'll come out weird, much like using any of the other AR force codes (IV, nature etc).

exactly, anything that messes with the way a pokemon is generated will result in a hacked pokemon. The thing is that lovell claims that he didn't use anything but the IV checking code so that could let one to believe that maybe a combination of multiple codes could cause extrange behaviour that would make a pokemon hacked, that is if you believe him.
I avoid having more than one code activated at a time if possible just in case, and definitely not using codes that overlap in the buttons that activate them.
 
Is there any AR code for an instant egg at the daycare that doesn't make every egg turn up naughty? (preferably one that doesn't affect the eggs nature/gender/ability at all)
 
I looked around the forums and found mixed answers for this question, so I'm not sure its a simple question:
-Does using Pokesav to create the parents (with 31 IVs in three stats) legit/legal?
I call them parents, because I would use them to breed for the pokemon I'm looking for. The results of their breeding would be seen as legit/legal.

What's your opinion? Is there a simple answer to this question?

i guess it depends......personally if you hacked say a male, all legit stuff with one 31, passed it to a kid and released the male parent, i couldnt care less.

Offspring of hacked parents are considered hacked by the general smogon public.


Personally, I see it as the same as the fast hatch code. Meaning you're still hacking, but putting in some modicum of effort through playing with the RNG to make your hacking undetectable by hack checks.

So it's basically considered hacking here, but if you didn't tell anyone, it's unlikely they'd be able to tell, unless of course they read this post.

Not simple because different people think differently about that topic, but it doesn't needs its own topic either because it has been discussed several times before.
Most people here see it as hacked parents equals hacked babies, even if they are not detectable and since most breeders take a lot of our time to breed we don't appreciate people that go for the easier route.
If you have a flascart then you already have access to the IV checking code and that is as far as most people allow and it can't be any easier than that.

Ironically most breeders on smogon use fast hatch which is still hacking, but I'm not really in the mood to argue that point right now.

I don't like that either so I try to use it as little as I can, mostly when I want to start to soft reset for the egg to quickly dismiss the ones that don't have desired nature and ability.
I hate when one that I check this way turns out to be awesome :S but it happens sometimes.
I hatch normally every egg when mass hatching tough but I don't ming much if other people do since I can't know it anyway unless they say it themselves.

While I applaud your adherence to your standards, you must admit that the average smogonite breeder's double standard on undetectable hacking (hacked 'rents vs fast hatch) is rather silly.

In the end is all up to the RNG but you gotta admit that this site is much better than marriland, gamefaqs and serebii, mostly because of those double standards.
The moment people start accepting more ways of hacking the more we may end up being like gamefaqs with their stupid "looking for a friendly hacker" threads. And why the hell do we call people hackers anyway? if you are a hacker go program a virus, violate the security of a bank, sabotage the FBI web page, do something a real hacker does, not something as silly as using pokesav to make a pokemon shiny :S
 
I have a couple of querstions regarding the AR.

Is there a rebattle code for Heatran?

When you use the IV Check Code and you save and the IVs are left on the TM TMs such as 31/31/27/31/14/31 or anything, can you use the first 6 TMs still or do you have to use the Unlimited TMs Code?

THere is a rebattle code for heatran, look for goodbar's legendary race thread I think it was posted there along with all the others. I read that you need to edit with pokesav the magma stone in your key items pocket for it to work tough.
You can use the TMs the code modifies your number of TMs but it is not linked in anyway to the IVs of the pokemon (as in it won't make your poke "lose" IVs because you used a TM). If one IV is 0 use check the IVs of another pokemon that doesn't have an IV equal to 0 so that you can recover your TMs back.
 
Thanks I was kinda scared on using the TMs.

Also this is kinda weird I never activated Cresselia/Giratina Rebattle Code and I went to hatch my Pokemon there and I saw Cresselia on Fullmoon Island.

Also another weird thing is that you said I must edit the Magma Stone into my inventory to reset for Heatran but I decided to the room where its in because Cresselia was there and Buck was there with the Magma Stone.
