No, like I said, it's a "Gamestop battle report thread" that said it. It said the hacker who got shafted in that tourney (the former American Idol contestant) had used AR to make his 31 IV Pokemon. It could be that he left out a detail to make his guys "completely legit".
Re: "edited stats": If you don't put the Pokemon inside a box, you can have 999 in any and all stats. It can be modified with AR. I've seen some of those on GameFAQs trading board before.
