This is my List of Legendaries I have received via the GTS, PSS Trade, or friends. If anyone could tell me which of these are legit and which are hacked with 100 % confirmation of either or, that would be awesome. These are the only ones I cant figure out myself.

Thanks!

These are the only pokemon I have not been able to confirm myself as Legit or Not

I have proven the following Legit

Heatran
Tornadus
Thundurus
Lugia
Articuno * Shiny
Ho-oh
Entei
Raikou
terrakion
cobalion
mewtwo
phione
Groudon
Darkrai

Sorry, but how the fuck am I supposed to tell if something is legal when you provide almost no useful informtion. Only one I can even say for sure is hacked is Genesect.
 
Just got this in a trade, probably a dumb question, but any idea if it's hacked?

Latios (shiny)
Nature - Modest
31/31/31/31/31/31
OT: Ash
ID No. 01337
No ribbons, and it is from the Hoenn region, and is in a regular pokeball.

With an ID that almost looks like LEET, I'm going to assume it's hacked, but I just wanted to clarify here first.
 
Some people are offering me Yveltal and Xerneas shiny for trade, i know they are hacked, but its okay if i get then ? I mean this can cause any trouble to my Pokemon Version ? Pokebank or something like that ?



Scruffy All pokemons with this OT: Ash and this ID No. 01337 are Hacked pokemons, they are very commun indeed.

Its impossible to trade Shiny-locked Pokémon (Xerneas, Zygarde, Arceus, etc.) in 6th Gen IIRC.

Gonna go out on a limb, and say it belongs to a hacker, considering how many hacks show up with its ID combo.
 
I traded with eievuimonster and his thread has been closed down by Agonist because it has too many hacks (thread: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/ft-shiny-legendaries-and-hp-legends.3501142/).

I was hoping someone could clarify whether these Pokemon he traded me are hacked. They are:

Shiny Thundurus (Ultra Ball)
OT: Yuko
ID: 19358
Timid
Prankster
30/31/30/31/31/31 (HP Ice)
From the Unova region

Shiny Heatran (Master Ball)
OT: Luke
ID: 25897
Timid
Flash Fire
30/31/30/31/31/31 (HP Ice)
From the Unova region

I checked Pokecheck and didn't find these Pokemon on there or their particular OT/IDs but maybe there are better ways of searching for them on Pokecheck rather than just using the search bar on the main page.

Anyway, I'd be grateful if anyone can clarify whether these are hacked or not (if more information is needed, let me know).

Thanks.

It's probably safe to assume that since the majority of his other stuff was clearly hacked, that those are too.
 
I'm about to recieve a latias through a trade. It has 6IVs non-shiny. Trainer ID-James ID no:12623 and the nature is timid. Is this pokemon hacked?

It's not really possible to check based on so little info unless it's something obvious like a Moon Ball Litwick (which actually passes Bank...) or the OT appears on Pokecheck (this OT does not).

There's a lot of visible info that can impact legality: moves, level, region, ball, characteristic, fateful encounter or not, ribbons, nickname, language, nature, OT name, Trainer ID, and the somewhat hidden IVs and EVs.

If it has the Premier Ribbon, yes. He should have said it was from Pokecheck to begin with, but if it has the Premier Ribbon, he essentially traded you a hack.

OK, time to work this out *peacefully*
 
Pretty sure I just got a hacked Zapdos from SharkReno. OT is 01337 and the Trainer name is Ash inside a regular pokeball, from Sinnoh...

I also got a Keldeo from him under the OT SMR2012 and ID No. 08272

Keldeo - #647 (Timid) : 28 - 31 / 18 - 22 / 30 - 31 / 27, 29, 31 / 30 / 31

Level 21 in a Cherish Ball with a "Wishing Ribbon"

I have no idea what to make of this one, but I think the first is pretty clearly a hack.
 
That Zapdos is clearly 100% hack xD

The Keldeo... I'm not sure, but if I had to be safe I'd say that it's the HP Ghost one that is on a bunch of trade threads.
Is the HP Ghost one a hack (the one I got is HP Ghost)?

And yeah I figured that much about the Zapdos... I think I'm going to make a post in the WiFi blacklist tomorrow.

The HP Ghost one is everywhere, but it could just as easily be a hack... if I were you, I'd wait for a professhunahl opinion.

(Edit) To clarify, there is a legit HP Ghost one everywhere but he could have just as easily pokegenned it.
