As a rule of thumb: if a Pokémon has "YTUBE", ".TV" or any link/URL in its OT, you can be sure that it's a hacked Pokémon.
Not to mention it apparently has "every shape", which is impossible: a Pokemon cannot have the kalos-native diamond and the alola-native clover at the same time. Unless you confused the user-applied markings (circle, heart, diamond, star, triangle, square) with the automatically applied ones (Game Boy, pentagon, clover).
Hey there fren, since you don't seem to know who originally caught those I'd say it's safe to assume them as hacked, the Zekrom is 6IV with max speed and attack EVs, with a good nature, pokerus and shiny on top of that (which might've been RNG'ed but again you don't seem to know who caught it). As for Kyurem the IVs and EVs don't seem much, the defense and special attack IVs aren't perfect, it's level 85, with a non optimal nature and messy EVs, might be legit but I wouldn't trust it be. I could take a look at them if you want more info on them.
Although I do remember that Zekrom was a link trade, and Kyurem may have been from the GTS, I thought I posted the OTs... (unless you are actually referring to my ability of identifying the real people that got them). Thank you so much.
It's hacked. Shiny Lunala is only available in a Cherish Ball.
Hey, although the Reshiram witht these characteristics is possible you better assuming it's not a legit pokemon, RoC is a contributor to ProjectPokemon so it's very common to have his OT tied to a pokemon on GTS and WT/ST, RoC's database has a ultra ball pentagon Reshiram with this TID, but the nature is Rash, it's not shiny and its IVs aren't perfect, so it's most likely that someone edited the one from RoC's collection and traded it to you.
Thanks for the insight! Unforunately I am new to this whole trading while being wary of genned/hacked pokemon so I wasn't careful enough to be skeptical upon the time of trading, only carrying the info that people are willing to trade leggies for shiny gmaxs especially with HAs. The good part is that I don't feel scammed as I traded an extra GMAX away, and have another single extra of the Charizard on hand. Just a little disappointed. aha.
If you're that worried, then don't use anything you can't verify or didn't catch yourself. If it's hacked (or suspect it is) and you're never going to use it because of that, might as well release it to save box space. Your best option is to only trade in reputable communities like this one, which prohibits the trading of hacks. Welcome to Smogon btw!
If something becomes very prevalent it'll be added to the OP (for example, AusLove) under the common hacked OTs section. Trying to list every (or many) OT that we come across that's hacked is a bit too big of a undertaking, as I'm sure you'll find the GTS is riddled with them and it's a very common outlet for streamers who gen their Pokemon. That said, I've added PokeFlash to the OP, thanks. Assuming it's the same PokeFlash I'm thinking of, those are definitely genned.
Info given matches up with an B2W2 event perfectly, and given it was a Wi-Fi event, could be RNG’d for perfect IVs. Seems legit to me.
Seems legal (no way of knowing if it's actually legit), but if you're 99% sure it's hacked it's a moot point anyway. Best play it safe and assume it is hacked if you're that uncertain.
I was just saying 99% because I thought that it couldn’t have perfect ivs. But if it could now I don’t want to part with it.
Those lists are only for gen 6, as indicated in the paragraph above it. For Gen 7 we link to TM's table, which admittedly hasn't been updated for gen 8 (yet), tho the mechanics still apply.
Legit. 6IV Cosmog can be RNG’d.
Not really, no. Don't mix up the terms "legit" and "legal".
Right. Will keep this in mind for the future.
Not all. There's a Pikachu that has that OT. The OT itself isn't proof that it's hacked, but it adds to suspicion in this case.
