[READ ME] Tips for Simple Hack Checks

I think I will keep it, but if someone clone some legit one, could you kindly talk to me in mp, to replace this one. Thanks :)
 
Hi there. I'm trying to check the legitimacy of this one:

Language: ENG
Species: Umbreon
OT: Jim
ID No.: 43355
IVs: 31/31/31/31/31/31
EVs (optional):
Ability: Synchronize
Pokemon's name: Umbreon
Gender: Male
Level: 100
Pokeball: Dusk Ball
Shiny?: Yes
Pentagon?: Yes
Moves: Foul Play/Toxic/Wish/Double Team
Nature: Calm
Region of origin: Hoenn (Battle Resort)
Characteristic: Takes plenty of siestas
Ribbons: N/A
Other comments (optional): Egg Received 4/8/15. From Day Care helpers. Egg Hatched Apparently 4/8/15
Memory: The Pokemon seems to have a good memory, but it doesn't seem to be able to remember.. And... Umbreon became (my) friend when it came through Link Trade at... a battling spot. The Pokemon remembers that it felt nostalgic.


That lack of memory seems suspicious to me. What do you guys think?

It's hacked. No memory is a dead giveaway.

If that Xerneas lacks a Pentagon (which appears in XY and ORAS so I'm a little confused by your comment "Not on ORAS, sorry :("), then it's 100% hacked. Outside of that, it looks awfully suspicious, but legal none the less.
 
Where is this pentagon?
EDIT:He have a pentagon.
EDIT: Well forget this, I traded it for a egg with a random passerby. Yeah I took a luck, but eh, maybe I will found something I don't have.

What kind of trick? If the redeemer is using (for example) a NA 3DS and uses some kind of program to trick the game into thinking it is a Korean system so they can redeem the event, then it is not considered legit. If the redeemer is using a Korean 3DS with the game's language set to English, then it is fine.

he's using NA 3ds and uses some kind of program i think. probably it won't be considered as legit one.

As far as I can tell from the information provided, it's legal. As for tradeable, there are no obvious signs of hacking, so trade at your own risk.
 
Quick question: is it not possible to trade Dream World Arceus even though it has no ribbon through Wonder Trade and GTS? Because I've seen many people have done it before. Thank you. I hope this is the correct place to ask this

I tried to trade Mew over the GTS and it wouldn't let me even though it has no ribbon (3rd gen Mew). I am not exactly 100% sure about whether Dream World Arceus can be traded or not, but I do know that the ribbon is not the only factor that goes into deciding whether a Pokemon can be traded on the GTS.

"The Pokemon seems to have a good memory, but it doesn't seem to be able to remember..." - Although iirc all transferred Pokemon have this as their memory.
I can't remember where I obtained this from (wasn't on here), so I just thought I'd get it checked. If anyone can be bothered to check if it's possible, hopefully I've provided enough information :D

Thanks in advance :)

Well, as far as where you got it from. Probably not here? I don't recall having seen one in a ultra ball, they are all pretty much dive/great ball.

IIRC these users have RNG'd Faraway Island Mew:
Eppie, Thomaz, Skymin_Flower, Lockie Gengar, Drake & Dragon, Hozu, and -Blu-

If everything you typed is correct, then unfortunately it is hacked.

I would like to add Buckert to this list, I received a Japanese shiny one in a Dive Ball from his collection recently.
But other than that the list looks pretty complete to me.

Good day! Terribly sorry for asking, but I got a Darkrai Recently, and I was wondering if it really is an event pokemon from 2015 or not. Here are the details of it below.


It is in the red event ball.

The OT is FEB2015.

Timid nature, all iv's except for physical attack.

The ID No. is 02135.

It was met at, "a lovely place".

Date met was 2/17/2015.

Level met was level 50.

Note: Apparently a fateful encounter.

Characteristic: Somewhat Vain.

It has the Classic Ribbon with it, and has a Hoenn Champion Ribbon, which I can deduce that the last person got for the Darkrai from their playthrough.


Thank you very much for helping me out with this! I hope this thing is legit, but if not, I appreciate the help anyway!

Looks legal from the info posted, but there's no way to tell if "it really is an event from 2015 or not." If you can't verify the source (i.e. if you got it from a random passerby), be skeptical of it. If it was a random trade, I'd err on the side of caution and assume it was edited.

edit: I'm assuming it has the pentagon and has a legal moveset.
