Other comments (optional): Received by cloning this for a person, who said he got it in a poketuber giveaway, oh and it says the date met is 12/1/14

This is rather silly that you have to ask if THIS is hacked, the only 6th gen origin Shaymin around is the PokeScrap Shaymin this is hideously hacked.

Language: English
Species: Landorus
OT: Kraven
ID No.: 11608
IVs: 31/31/31/31/31/31
EVs (optional): 4 HP, 252 Attack, 252 Speed

Moves: Knock Off, U-Turn, Earthquake, Stone Edge

Region of origin: Hoenn (Caught Soaring in the Skies)
Characteristic: Mischievous
Ribbons:
Other comments (optional): Received in a giveaway on showdown

Also, I wouldn't trust any flawless legendaries on the showdown wi-fi room especially since this is hex-flawless (it looks like it was edited with a PowerSave or whatnot), I couldn't find any information on the OT/ID of this Landorus but I definitely wouldn't trade it here.

I wouldn't trade the Landorus. But that Shaymin is hilarious. And obviously a hack
 
Hey, I'm wondering if this ditto I got from the GTS is hacked...it probably is :( just making sure, though.

Language: Japanese

Species: Ditto

OT: (Japanese letters) 3 characters

ID no. : 32320

Iv's: 31/31/31/31/31/31

Ability: Imposter

Pokemon's name: (Japanese letters) 4 characters

Gender: N/A

Level: 100

Pokeball: premier ball

Shiny?: yes

Moves: transform

Nature: naive

Characteristic: alert to sounds

Region of origin: unova

Ribbons: hoenn champ ribbon (beat E4 with it); skillful battler ribbon

Thanks for your time! (Hope it's legit...)

Edit: I forgot to mention, it has the pokerus indicator (pink smile), and has EVs only maxed in HP; the other stats have random evs.

Pretty sure that's hacked, HA Ditto from Unova can only come from a Hidden Grotto, but then it can't be shiny. If you need a 6IV ditto mostthe3rd gives them away, so you could talk to him.

Shiny Ditto + HA + Comes from Unova = Hacked
 
I'd like to get a pokemon checked.
Language: English
Species: Rayquaza
OT: Wesley
ID no. : 34155
Iv's: 31/31/31/31/31/31
Ability: Air Lock
Pokemon's name: Rayquaza

Level: 100
Pokeball: Luxury Ball
Shiny?: yes
Moves: Dragon Dance, Overheat, Earthquake, Outrage
Nature: Jolly
Characteristic: Alert to sounds
Region of origin: Johto
Ribbons: None
Additional Comments: Infected with Pokerus, and the guy who gave me this says he RNG'ed it. I got it for helping someone transfer Pokemon, and it seems kind of suspicious that he'd give the Pokemon away this easily.

At the main part of the thread, you can see that only calm, docile, timid and modest natures can only be flawless for stationary pokemon from 4th gen.
 
Quick question: are there any restrictions on the specific IVs/Natures of 6th Gen Event Pokes via Wonder Cards? If so I've have a questionable Jirachi and the full details are as followed:

Language: Japanese
Species: Jirachi
OT: たなばた
ID No.: 08014
IVs: EVs (optional): 31/31/31/31/31/31 (HP Dark) (No EVs)
Ability: Serene Grace
Pokemon's Name: ジラーチ (Japanese for Jirachi)
Gender: Genderless
Level: 10
Pokeball: Cherish Ball
Shiny?: Yes
Moves: Wish, Swift, Healing Wish, Moonblast
Nature: Timid
Region of origin: Kalos - Presumably from a Japanese X/Y game from the Event PC Tohoku with the Note: Apparently a fateful encounter.
Characteristic: Capable of taking hits
Ribbons: Classic Ribbon
Other comments (optional): I've obtained this Jirachi from a trade done on Pokemon Showdown. The Date Met/or when this was obtained is 8/1/2014, which happens match the start date of the event. In any case, this looks almost too good to be true... o_0

If you don't have any proof from the person you obtained it from . It is safe to say it's injected wonder card from a power save.
 
But if its injected, it wouldn't have a Japanese name to convey its originality. Wouldn't certain injected wonder cards be more obvious depending on the claimed dates, and that the Poke's name would have a English text or any other foreign names...? Then again I wouldn't know since I don't even have Powersaves, and I doubt it would help even if I do :x

As you said, it's too good to be true. Keep in check until you contact the original owner and get an answer or something
 
But if its injected, it wouldn't have a Japanese name to convey its originality. Wouldn't certain injected wonder cards be more obvious depending on the claimed dates, and that the Poke's name would have a English text or any other foreign names...?

Going on to what TyVip has said, it's most likely edited. IVs too good to be true. I wouldn't count on it unless the person you got it from has proof.
 
So going back to my first question, does this mean that there are certain restrictions on the specific IVs/Natures of 6th Gen Event Pokes from Wonder Cards?

Edit: I suppose that also means it's not a good idea to trade that Jirachi on Wifi if that's the case. :/ Oh well, I got the answers I need. Thanks! ^_^

I don't believe so. This is because we haven't really discovered and learn a whole lot regarding about that information of 6th Gen mons'.

No there are no iv restrictions..however to your point about the Japanese name, any region's game can be played in any language.

People have reset for 6iv events, but for the most part ,if it seems too good to be true it usually is.

Also there's 6th gen pokegen now....so there's that.

Tl;Dr unless you know and trust the person who reset it, it's better to operate under the assumption that it's hacked in some way

Also it came from showdown so there's that...

A friend of mine was racing against me to get a respectable shiny version of the unova legends with decent ivs (25+ in all relevant stats.)

He found this yesterday:

Language: English
Species: Reshiram
OT: Alex (Male)
ID/SID No.: 9257/14980
IVs: EVs (optional): 31/13/31/31/31/31 (No EVs)
Ability: Turboblaze (ability 2)
Pokemon's Name: Reshiram (not NNd)
Gender: Genderless
Level: 50
Pokeball: Premier Ball
Shiny?: Yes
Moves: Dragonbreath, Slash, extrasensory, Fusion Flare
Nature: Modest
Region of origin: Hoenn
Characteristic: Capable of taking hits
Ribbons: N/A
Other comments (optional): Used pkhex to view the additional data:

PSV and TSV match (0490)
PID is 04D81A74
Country is UK, 3DS Region is Europe
Met at Fabled Cave, in Omega Ruby, level 50, premier ball
No relearned moves
encryption constant is 719805A5
Memories: valid (I checked with the Anistar girl), the Pokemon participated in contest with OT, the Pokemon had fun

Can someone please check this? thanks!

quick edit: we've both SRd for a month and a half straight
 
A whole month and a half?!? Wow.

Let me consider something though:
Shiny (w/ charm): 3/4096
Nature: 13/25
3 IVs lining up: 1/2
Other 2 IVs are 31: 1/32/32

Combined odds: 39/209715200, or 1 in 5.3 million.

I'm going to be getting a little less precise from here, to allow for slip ups, human error, slowing down, etc.

You know how many seconds there are in a month and a half?
60*60*24*45 = 3,888,000.

Now there's two of you doing this, so we can double this up:
7,776,000. Now I've reset for these Pokés as shinies. It took 28 seconds per reset.

So that's (between the two of you) ~277,714 resets.

And that's assuming neither of you stop to eat, sleep, do other things in that month and a half.

That would be a ~5% chance of having gotten it in that number of resets.

But let's now assume you did sleep, eat, etc. in that time. I'd say ~5 hours a day would be a generous amount of time per day to be doing this (at least up to the 28 second speed).

So that brings you to ~57,900 resets between you.
Your odds would then be just over 1% of having gotten it.

Combine that with the fact that you're asking us to check something you should know is not hacked if what you say is true. Then there's the fact that you and your friend supposedly did this many resets and neither of you collected any evidence (knowing that it would be questioned later, since you're now asking for it to be confirmed).

There's also the fact that you've mentioned that you've been RNGing in FRLG and Emerald last month, which gives you even less time to have been soft-resetting.

Finally there's the fact that this happened just days after a program came out allowing anyone to inject things to their game. Especially those who know how to use PKHeX.
Verdict: Probably a hack.

Sorry, but if you know it's legit, you don't need to ask... If you do ask, it implies you're checking if your hack is good enough to fool people.

pretty sure it doesnt get water sport and it doesnt have memories. really bad hack

Actually it does learn Water Sport (no idea why), and transferred Pokemon don't have memories. Granted, it probably is hacked just because it came from WT, but if you're going to comment in this thread, please at least have a basic understanding of legality before just saying it is or isn't hacked while giving incorrect information.

If you get flawless legends from wonder trade or the GTS, they're almost assuredly hacks. There's no obvious giveaway trait on either of these, but that doesn't mean that they weren't hacked by someone who knows what they're doing.

I'd toss them, but if you're going to keep them then definitely don't trade them here.
