Pokemon Species: Haxorus
Nickname: Maxax

Shiny?: No
EV's: not sure

Nature: Relaxed

Stats: Hp: 174 Atk: 195 Def: 136 Sp. A: 98 Sp. D: 104 Spd: 112
Location Caught: Mistralton Cave
Egg?: No
Pokeball Caught In: Master Ball (this is what made me suspicious - WHY would anyone catch an ordinary axew in a master ball?)
Any other notes?: The date of capture is 11/11/2013 (...? What's with the strange date?)

It seems to me that the Pokemon themselves have legitimate stats and values. As for Celebi it might have been generated by PokeGen because the day Celebi is met is the day the trainer picks it up at the Pokemart rather than the day it's wondercard is recieved on mystery gift.

As for Axew the stats are legitimate for a Pokemon that was caught on B2/W2 but the fact it was captured in a Master Ball tells me they used an AR to create 999 Master Ball's in the Item Pocket.

As for Mesprit if it's from D/P/Pt I could imagine that someone would use a master ball on it as it's a roaming pokemon and it's stats are legit and it can learn thunder by TM so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

As for Dialga if I remember rightly the level of all Pokemon on the dream radar start at 5 and increase by 5 for every badge obtained in the game which means there would need to be 7 or 8 (I'm not sure if you need to already have the first badge before you can use it).

Basically I think you're fine buddy.

If this Ho-Oh has the same OT as that Hacked Bulbasaur you mentioned, I'd say it's hacked. But if they are different, I'd say it looks fine with the information provided.

This is a tricky one because that Ho-oh was migrated from FireRed or LeafGreen and the only way to catch it in those games is with the Navel Ticket (which was only released in JPN) and the fact it's also shiny seems a little iffy too. If I remember right the only way you could get Ho-oh in Europe in Gen III was by clearing Mt Battle in Pokemon Colosseum and transferring it to the Gen III games. It seems very unlikely but it is possible to capture Ho-oh with those stats.

Just to let you know this Celebi is fine but it's a clone, there are a few of them with identical stats and information on the website which I don't think we can mention...

>Implying players are not allowed to change the date on their DS.

The Ho-Oh is in fact Japanese. Had a Japanese owner and everything.

Gen 3 Ho-Oh can be English, it doesn't matter.

...oh, it's a clone? That's disappointing, I don't clone my pokemon and always trade away the original

Just about every old event has been cloned dozens of times, so it's nearly impossible to get an uncloned version.

[Lorenzo The Comic]

I don't see what's wrong with clones. Some people would be happy to receive one of a clone if they request one.

[gamer_legend]

Or...Implying they picked it up at absolutely any point after received the Mystery Gift because it's not going anywhere.

[Thowra]

I don't see what's wrong with clones. Some people would be happy to receive one of a clone if they request one.

Well, there's nothing wrong with a clone, only that I never clone so I don't consider those kind of trades equal - I mean, I'm giving up an original for a pokemon that the other player has unlimited copies of? I may as well give away my pokemon in that case; I'll never see it again anyway.

[Agonist]

Except the dates on Pokémon recieved from wondercards are the date you recieved the Wondercard, not when you picked it up at the Pokémon Center/Pokémart.

Can you tell me if these pokemon are hacked?

All are hacked; those are blacklisted OT's, so don't trust anything from them.

Where exactly is the blacklist of those OT's? I didn't see them on the list for this site.

err I think you did a mistake with the "arrived at lv 40" thing



anyway, it looks fine. If it's just something like a Hasty non-shiny Squirtle, you don't have to worry about it and post it here. I don't think anyone would be that stupid to hack something like that.
I would worry only if it's a flawless shiny with Modest Nature, because while that is possible to obtain through RNG, the chance of it being hacked is much higher than a Hasty non-Shiny Squirtle that doesn't even seems to be flawless

[Douchemon]

Porygon Z shiny's seem to be a common Hacked poke on GTS, also non legendary shiny's in a Master ball are suspicious aswell. Aka a Zubat shiny lvl 5 in a masterball.

In GTS ussually it's if the trade is to good to be true, it is.
