or it could have been bred, raised to lv.16 and transfered up, unless it has no evs (u need an AR to check most likely)

It's in a Luxury Ball.

I can't say I'm a pro, but it seems fine. But it IS suspicious. Who is able to do that WITHOUT cheating?

It's fine. Just the one at Gamestop or wherever.

Indeed. Even still, I have no way of proving it is or isn't hacked. In any case, I guess I'll just take it with a grain of salt until I can.

You can get it pokechecked to see if there is something wrong with its coding.

It is not that hard to soft reset for a shiny roamer, the cut scene isn't even that long. Based on the info provided it seems fine.

there was no AURA Riolu, so it is hacked. The only event Riolu I'm aware of was the "Kyle" Riolu with various OTs depending on the localization.

As far as I'm concerned, it's a hack. There has been no event with that ID number. I just checked the event database. I think it's made to look legit though.

It's hacked. There has never been an Wi-fi event for Riolu (except for the Ranger 2 one).

[QuoteMaster]

there was no AURA Riolu, so it is hacked. The only event Riolu I'm aware of was the "Kyle" Riolu with various OTs depending on the localization.

Also, the Shadows of Almnia "Kyle" Riolu is only in a regular pokeball, always serious-natured, and never shiny I believe.

[Shadow Wolf Claw]

Well thanks guys. I appreciate it.

Well, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks everyone who helped. ^_^

There has only been 1 event Chandelure, and it has a ribbon and did not come from an egg, that is a hack. The Totodile seems like a random shiny, nothing jumps out as hacked to me.

I got a couple that I want to be 100 percent sure and both are Suicunes but owned by different trainers:

Pokemon Species: Suicune

And here is the other:

Pokemon Species: スイクン

Pokeball Caught In: Dusk Ball
Other notes: It was caught on 6/12/2012

The top one concerns me the most since that Suicune was caught in Sinnoh and since I have not played HeartGold or SoulSilver I do not know if you can capture any of the legendary beasts outside of Johto. I was about to post one about this shiny level 100 Entei I got from the GTS which it looked fine and all until I saw its experience points which was totally off by about a million. XD

[Pingouin7]

Yeah, the first Suicune is a hack.
