I heard checking IVs was easy but I never knew how.
So he only tells you one IV? I'm so lost.
but thanks for answering.
There's so many punching Pokemon I want to breed. lol

If there's a tie for highest IV the guy will tell you one of them randomly. If you talk to him a few times, he'll most likely tell you more than one if there is more than one.

Unfortunately, Emerald has that crappy RNG that I'm sure many people here know and hate.
 
Just since some may not have noticed how do people such as Mr.Goodbar do hackchecks for people? Also what is this RNG Megamewtwo has just mentaioned? as in what does it mean..? (taking any bets itll be super obvious, I also offer video Poker)

I think I'll give it a shot.

Does Emerald also have Alert to Sounds, etc and stuff?
That would make it easier at least. haha

So I've noticed when checking out piplup's level 100 quiet stats that the range of it's speed is from 76-104 (76 being 0 and 104 being 31) while being monotonous I typed each stat into it by hand 76,77,78,79 e.t.c

I found that there is no stat for 6,16 or 26...

So Any1 help me suggest how I can find the actual speed stat of my Piplups so i can find it's true hidden power?

RNG = Random Number Generator. There's something weird with how Emerald randomly generates stuff. For example, there's a few people here who have a Pokemon identical to someone else's because of this, I think we see this the most with Regis, there's a couple of Regisomethings that have "twins" from someone else. I'm not the best at explaining this, but I found this thread which explains it well.

As for hack-checking, from what I've gathered it's better left secret, so hackers can't figure it out and work around it.

That's a bit naive, don't you think?

People who know how to "hack" (set the memory addresses to values that in turn are represented by a pokemon with a name, 4 moves, gender, nature, etc) often know what is impossible to obtain in a cartridge.

And more often than not, hacking a pokemon directly will never be checked. If you're worried about tourney-worthy pokemon, hack two 31/31/31/31/31/31 parents and 1-step egghatch and just brute-force a seemingly legit pokemon.


Hopefully this answered the "hack-checker" question. Just make sure all the constituents of a pokemon are legit and the pokemon is in turn legit. No 999 stats, no impossible movesets, a sensible catch or hatch location, all the things we assume.

IIRC Hackcheckers can tell if a pokemon has been hatched using Hacked Parents, So the Brute force hatch pokemon may seem legit but Goodbar will figure it out (Same if you hack a pokemon within game limitiations)
 
Can there be a "misprint" in the date the egg was received?
Because I just traded a poke that was hatched the 8th of Februari this year.
And to hack a poke on a date that havn't even been yet is strange.
If there isn't any "misprints" in the game, this poke is hacked, an I am sad again. :/
Please, I need a quick answer.

The date of a pokemon was hatched or caught is dependant on the DS system's Time Settings, So if you were to set it to the year 2099 and the date 21st June, then a Pokemon you catch will be caught on that day

Maybe the person you got it from had messed around with the time/date on their DS. I got a Mime Jr from the GTS that was apparantly caught in 2000.

OK, If I really need to see if the poke is hacked. I should see with Goodbar and the others, right?
 
so where someone to make a pokemon in pokesav or whatever it is, is it true that I hear if everything is set right and the stats and movesets are within bounds that they will be said to be legit?
 
so cloned pokemon through pokesav will come out to be hacked through a hackcheck? thats good to know helps keep pokemon clean etc.

If IV is between 0 and 5 - Stat will be 76 + IV.
If IV is between 7 and 15 - Stat will be 75 + IV.
If IV is between 17 and 25 - Stat will be 74 + IV.
If IV is between 27 and 31 - Stat will be 73 + IV.
If IV is 6 - Stat will be 81 (same as for IV 5).
If IV is 16 - Stat will be 90 (same as for IV 15).
If IV is 26 - Stat will be 99 (same as for IV 25).

Was this what you were asking for?

fair enough, the way I see it if everything were set to the right settings I can see no way that it would be noticeable, if a pokmemon is made to have everything legal through it compared next to another pokemon with the exact same stats etc. how would it be a visable difference? even looking at it in hexidecimal shouldnt show differences (I know alot about hexidecimal...complicated codeing stuff etc.)

Well the IVs is pretty good. So I say that you should check here and see if you can find yourself a good moveset. http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/flareon
