Both are probably legit but the Shaymin's stats seem too high..
 
Re: The "Is My Pokemon Hacked?" Thread

Rebby, I think those Pokémon aren't hacked. EDIT: For the Jirachi, is the OT ネカイボシ, タナバタ, or ポケパーク? Those are the only legit Japanese Jirachi.

Yay! My jirachi's legit! BTW, how did you type the japanese characters?
 
Re: The "Is My Pokemon Hacked?" Thread

Charmap. And legit Jirachis are REALLY hard to find these days. I got one on the GTS that was hacked. Then I put the hacked one up and got another hacked one. This happened 13 times until I got a legit one.
 
Re: The "Is My Pokemon Hacked?" Thread

The jirachi is a Negaiboshi Jirachi. I was really lucky to get a legit one on my first try :)

Here's another pokemon I just got off the GTS:

Pokemon Species: Salamence

I got it for almost nothing, so I wanted to make sure its legit.
 
Re: The "Is My Pokemon Hacked?" Thread

Well, my brother got a Japanese Jirachi from his friend, and it seems to be legit, but I'm not completely sure so I want to double check, or else I might just release it.

That's not true, there were tons of different jirachis.

Regarding my Shaymin (Movie 11), it did transform at midnight.
So did my Oak Shaymin.
I guess my time was flipped over, as Venom predicted.
So, just wanted to let you know.

Thanks for the help Kaguya, Venom, and IslandWalker.

I guess he meant that they were the only legit OTs for migrated Jirachi from GBA games AND without the Classic Ribbon, which otherwise would prevent from uploading them to the GTS and would indicate that are hacked.

For charmap (Character Map), you can open the application pressing [Windows Flag Key] + [R] to bring up the Run window, then type charmap and finally press [ENTER]. Note as if you don't have the Asian language pack(s) installed, Asian fonts like MS Mincho could not show up and you won't be able to choose Japanese characters.

It seems legit to me and I think the 10th anniversary events can be shiny.
 
Re: The "Is My Pokemon Hacked?" Thread

Latias Shiny

I made it hold soul dew.
No ribbons
masterball
Route 209 (red flag)
level 19 apparently (red flag)
Red Cat: OT
Psywave
Heal block
Helping hand
Safeguard

The minimum level for Latias is Lv35 (HGSS event), Lv40 (regular RSE) or Lv50 (Soul Dew Event in RSE). No events give it out on such low levels.

Also, with the route data, it's clearly a hack. I think you figured that out without posting that NO event Pokémon say they're caught in a random Route or in a Master Ball. I don't even bother to check the moves' or stats' legitimacy because the other stats tell already enough.

Doesn't Nintendo make sure that event pokemons aren't shiny, unless they're meant to be always shiny (e.g. PCP)?

On a side note, I may have done something completely stupid.
I found this lv. 100 Darkrai on GTS.
Apparently met at lv40, NewMoonIsland
I checked its moves, and they were Cut/Strength/Rock Smash/Rock climb.
At first I thought that Darkrai couldn't possibly learn a move like rock climb, so I tried to trade it off jokingly.
Unfortunately, the trade worked, and I was left with a lv25 Porygon. (I'm collecting these)
So the question is, are Platinum NewMoonIsland Darkrais always fateful encounters?
That one wasn't, and the one I tweaked out of Diamond wasn't either.

Nope, the ones coming from Gen III special discs (WISHMKR Jirachi, CHANNEL Jirachi and Ageto/アゲト Celebi) as well as certain Pokémon obtained via Mystery Gift can be obtained shiny (at least I remember so). However, granted getting a shiny one is rather time-consuming, chances are that the Pokémon is legit but it has been manually given the shiny flag with AR.

Don't see anything wrong with that Darkrai, aside from the crappy HM slave moveset. Shaymin was the first, and currently the only, event Pokémon in Platinum that triggers the fateful encounter flag. (Additionally, it is met on Lv.40, so it originates from DP and is most probably tweaked. Darkrai starts at Lv.50 in Platinum.)

Seems legit.. The owner could took the berry out before putting it on wifi.. So it won't affect whether it's legit or not.. Just be sure of the OT and the pokeball it's caught with..
