If you use a hacked parent, any of its offspring are considered hacks. Resist the temptation :)

But I'm not using the hacked parent's offspring. I'm merely using it to check the spread for the Time Machine method. I'm personally hoping a mod can determine whether it's ok to use hacked parents but ONLY to check the Time Machine spread.
Yeah he's right if your parents are hacked in any way shape or form the offspring is hacked
(Giveaway will be first thing tomorrow)
I've begun breeding to narrow down a flawless spread to ESV reset for. If I save after putting my good parents in the day care, but before they create an egg, will the Spread be affected?
Hello! Looking for females of the following
Level Ball Growlithe
Heavy Ball Machop
Moon Ball Houndour
If you have these, (Egg moves are a plus) please CMT or PM me for trade details!

Set in stone :/
Even if the pokemon has a 12.5% Gender ratio?
Why would that make a difference?
Because you could get a confirmed female with 50/50 scouts with the random stat being something like Atk, then breed a female Froakie really easy.
You can save, change your parents, go trade online, change your parents again and the spread should still be the same. In fact you could even request the pokemon you need here as long as another egg isn't generated.
Look at it this way: what the game does is roll the RNG for gender when determining the spread. If said number falls at 10% (inside the 12.5% range) when calling for female then every gender ratio will yield a female offspring. However if said number falls on 13% (just outside 12.5%) then all 12.5% offsprings will be male, however all 33%, 50% and 75% female spreads will yield a female offspring. Of course none of this applies to ungendered or 100% gender ratio Pokemon.
PS: And yes, said random number is also set in the spread along with nature (unless everstone) and IVs. So a 50% female from the scouts would easily be a male when using 12.5% species.
Just FYI, once the ESV has been generated for a spread, it can't be SR for, just like Gender and IVs.
I'll check that out tomorrow, thanks!
Ah, that makes sense, thanks.
Is it detectable if you take the offspring of a hacked pokemon into a wifi battle or something? Oh man, now I'm going to be super-paranoid about all the pokemon I got from other people to breed. Pokemon they traded me could have been offspring of hacked pokemon.
Like, I recently got a luxury ball cyndaquil. That is pretty hard to get if you don't have the games and link cables to transfer it through games. What if that person just hacked a luxury ball onto a cyndaquil, bred it, and then traded one to me? How can I tell? I want to breed these cyndaquil, but I don't want hack-babies. :(
Edit: I just realized hack-babies sounds like crack-babies. Haha. (Not that there is anything funny about crack-babies.)
offering shiny kb nidoran male, modest, lvl 1 in safri ball. 31/31/31/31/31/30. Need KB 5ivs shiny pkm.
i have escavalier with pursuit / knock off / drill run / megahorn (also with overcoat)
You have to be faithful. I detest hacks, but there's no way to tell when it's got legit details. You have no way to tell with Cyndaquil whether someone went through that process or just hacked it, so I advise you just forgot about it and trust the person.
Sooo if I bred a flawless one from the parent and used it in battles, would it get detected if it is indeed the great-great-grand-baby of a hack? That's what I'm worried about.
No, it wouldn't, as if the Pokemon passed the oh-almighty-unpassable-wall that is Pokebank, the game treats it as legit, including it's offspring.
Think of it like this way; Luxury Ball Cyndaquil is possible. Game knows it's possible. Game treats it as legit.
(even them contrary friend ball snivy)
There are other ball choices, but they don't stand out as much as this one, imo.
