[READ ME] Tips for Simple Hack Checks

[Rex The Eater Of Worlds]

The best we can say is that the mon is legal (has traits that are naturally obtainable). It's never possible to say with 100% certainty if it's legitimate or not unless you have proof of the Pokémon being obtained (in this case, a video/etc. of the mon being downloaded). And many communities have different definitions of what legitimate means anyways.

All that being said, error code 10015 displays when you're trying to deposit a Pokémon that should have a HOME tracker but doesn't, or had some of its values edited (hacked) after a HOME tracker was assigned. If this is the only Pokémon you were trying to deposit into HOME when you got that error code, it sounds like whoever traded this to you hacked it into SV directly rather than transferred it up from Gen 7 through official means, so it's likely a hack.

Yes the kyogre was the only mon I was trying to transfer. It would make sense if it was hacked, since they traded it so readily. Also, I forgot to add it does say that it was from a fateful encounter so idk if that changes things. Kind of a bummer that it's most likely hacked. Appreciate it tho.

Yeah sorry to be the bearer of bad news. FYI fateful encounter applies to most modern event Pokémon, it's a flag that prevents it from being nicknamed (not suspicious here).

In the future, as an extra layer of protection you can ask them to trade it to you in HOME rather than in game (which will catch lazy hacks like this), but it wouldn't catch someone who went the extra mile to hack it in Gen 7 then transfer it up the official way.

Aight thanks for the tip, I think for the meantime I will just try to catch my own mons (untill I find someone who is reliable). Thanks again.
