legit does not equal legal, unless you know where it was obtained from and have proof of that to 100% percent know, and to check if it actually coudvle been an event check serebiis event dex
I checked Serebii Eventdex, it wasn't there and neither is the Nintendo of Korea Event Mew, Serebii isn't 100% accurate.
Hi, I just got a Mew with lots of ribbons via Wonder Trade in Ultra Sun which I always assume to be hacked, but turns out the event for that Mew does exist. I think it's 99% hacked but I figure I'd ask just in case. Thank you in advance!

I can say with 1000% certainty that the Mew is hacked.
The Ducklett is also most likely hacked, though there's a slim chance it could be fine. Don't go trading it here, though.
In general - don't trust anything (especially if it's mythical, or shiny (and IVs like that are an even bigger red flag)) from Wonder Trade or the GTS, period. It won't break your game or anything to hang on to it, but it's disallowed from being traded in pretty much every community out there (including ours).
This is hacked, too.
Thank you for your response! For the Ducklett though, is it suspicious because it's shiny? Or from the Love ball? I breed Pokemon myself and when I've got the Pokemon I want I often trade the rest of my 5IVs in Wonder Trade. If it's legendary/mythical (esp. when shiny) I know it's most likely hacked but I have a hard time detecting non-legendary ones...
If it's shiny, then you should treat it with suspicion, but if it's shiny plus five perfect IVs, then it's highly likely to be a hack. Most people would not give away a legit flawless shiny over Wonder Trade. It's possible someone RNG'd that Ducklett and decided to clone a bunch to send out via WT, but the number of people who have that knowledge is far fewer than the number of people who know how to get hacks.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If you value legitimacy in your Pokémon, I wouldn't go looking in the GTS or WT, I'd find a trading community such as here or elsewhere that values legitimacy.
Thanks for your replies! What's your opinion on this one please?

The information matches a VC event in the japanese version where a level 5 mew could be obtained. Everything listed here lines up, so this would classify as legal.
The only concern would be where exactly you got this mew.
I traded using an online forum. Thanks for you reply!
If the hacked parents were legal (i.e. they have traits that were obtainable through normal gameplay), their offspring will be indiscernible from Pokémon bred from legit parents. The only way to tell would be if the offspring had an illegal trait like a Charmander from Gen 6 bred in a Safari Ball. In this case it's important to know the difference between legal and legitimate.
I have a ENG Mew with OT: 20TH and ID: 980718, is it possible for it to be ENG and not JPN?
it is possible for a Foreign EVENT pokemon to have an English name and JPN OT
but again it doesn't mean anything~
The rest of it looks okay, that was the only detail that looked off, I'm forming a Mew collection and wanted to keep it as legal as possible. Thanks for replying!
Which games is it possible for region exclusive events to be in a different region language?
What could you tell about this one please?

Seems to match UK Mew VC event at first glance, the real question is how do you have so many mews lol
What's the etiquette for something caught in a raid that was likely RNG or possibly hacked?
Just jumped into a raid for a HA Ditto, it came up shiny. After catching it, it's Timid nature with perfect IVs (0 attack). I think it's possible to RNG raids, but since I have no way of knowing if it was some kind of hack is it best to just let it live in storage?

As a rule of thumb, if you want to ensure that a Pokémon from a raid is 100% legit, it is advisable to stick to raids that are being hosted by people you know and/or by members of trusted communities. Telling apart hacked raids from RNG abused ones can indeed be tricky, hence why the advice above will be your safest play to stay out of trouble. You may keep it if you want, but I would advise against trading these Pokémon that are "too good to be true" that you got from sources you don't know. In my opinion, it's not worth risking it.
What's your analysis of this Mew please? It came from Hoenn and has no Cross/Pentagon or symbol. It loves to eat! is it's characteristic.

This is not a thread to rate (or should I say berate?) the Pokémon of other users.
They asked a legit question and your tone was completely unnecessary.
Please stick to answering the actual question(s) in the future and keep your comments to yourself.
There is indeed a difference between "legal" and "legit".
"Legal" means that a Pokémon's attributes are within the limits that the game allows, meaning that it is technically possible to exist.
"Legit" means that a Pokémon is 100% authentic: No manipulations or cheats were used while acquiring the Pokémon in question.
The Mew appears to be "legal" at first sight, but it's unfortunately impossible to tell if it's "legit".
You're free to treasure it for personal use, if you like, but we always advise newer users to not trade any Pokémon with unknown origins.
That being said, welcome to Smogon!
