If you suspect a Pokemon you got in a trade of being hacked (ie Shiny triple flawless Suicune), how do you go about testing it to find out if it's legitimate?
 
Well, people like Mr. Goodbar are nice enough to offer their hack checking services. You can ask him here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31114. I'm not completely sure how he checks, as his topic doesn't specify, but I'm sure if you ask him he'll gladly tell you.


As for PBR, from what I understand, it only checks for >31 IVs and >252 EVs, and more than the max of 510 EVs total on a pokemon. So not completely foolproof, for there are some hackers who will stay within the "game limits" but still use AR and Pokesav to hack (like Omega).

I suggest you don't post about hack checking on the link provided by Proto. There is another thread titled "Hack Checking Thread" post there.

The method used to check however will not be disclosed don't even bother asking.
 
What are standard moves on an Anti-Lead pokemon?

Fighting (Weavile, Abomasnow, Tyranitar, Ambipom)
Ice (Salamence, Hippowdon, Yanmega, Breloom, Ninjask, Roserade, Crobat)
Electric (Gyarados, Yanmega, Ninjask, Crobat)
Ghost/Dark (Gengar, Azelf, Alakazam)
Fire (Weavile, Abomasnow, Bronzong, Yanmega, Forretress, Breloom, Ninjask, Roserade)


Fire and Ice covers most and I think Rock covers half of them too.
 
Please confirm this breeding chain

Ledian(lv24-Baton Pass)----Gligar(female)=Gligar(with Baton Pass)
then
Gliscor(lv 31-Night Slash, Baton Pass)-----Scyther-Scyther(with Baton Pass and Night Slash)

Is this chain correct?
 
Thanks, Junior.

Something else:

Someone sent out Tyranitar.
Tyranitar's Sandstream summons a sandstorm.
Someone Else sent out Moltres (for example).
Moltres uses a move (60% damage)
Tyranitar uses Stone Edge (99% damage)
Moltres hangs on with Focus Sash!

Does Sandstorm faint Moltres now?

yes SS does faint Moltres after the turn is over
 
Ah, I was just confused because Adaptability gives a STAB attack a 2 stage increase instead of a 1 stage increase twice(1.5*1.5=2.25). So I was confused as to which type of raise Rain gave. Thanks.

if i have a choice specs mence, i use draco meteor then switch out and switch back in, is my special attack back to normal or is it still reduced??
