Lucario looks fine

but the Darkrai is kinda hacked - it's obtained on D/P via tweaking. The item for the in-game event is released only for Platinum, and in Plat the Darkrai is lv 50.

Yours is fine. It matches a commonly found Legal one.

looks fine. ETA you can see if it's been cured of PKRS by looking for a purple smiley face on the status screen

[johnyboy169]

Thanks for your reply

ohh okay yeah it has the purple smiley face, so its legit?

[1quacka1]

Probably legit. It could be a good hack but I doubt it.

[johnyboy169]

ahh okay... is there any other information i can give you about my Venusaur?

[1quacka1]

ahh okay... is there any other information i can give you about my Venusaur?

no, I'm 99.9% sure it's legit. More information won't get rid of that 0.1% doubt. From the OP: "Disclaimer: Remember, it is impossible for anyone to truly say a Pokemon is legit unless you caught it yourself. This thread can serve as a guide to tell you if a Pokemon is definitely hacked, or tell you if it looks legit, but hackers can make any Pokemon look legit with enough effort."

[johnyboy169]

ahh okay didn't know that, thanks for your help

I'm thinking of opening a trade shop and I want to avoid the hacked pokemon

Cloned pokemon are exactly the same as the non-cloned ones and does not affect your game in any way. There is really no way to tell if a pokemon is cloned unless you have seen another one exactly like the one you have.
