[READ ME] Tips for Simple Hack Checks

Thanks for the info.

Regarding region locks, are you sure it is necessary to have a Japanese Console and Game since it was a serial code event?

I don't see the difference between this and the recent Mewtwo event for which codes have been traded on Smogon.

Any further views/guidance?
Those serial codes were only usable on Japanese games and thus consoles.
 
As long as you mention that you injected the WC, you can trade it (though some people will refuse you because it was an injection).
Edit: I believe you also need to inject it on a Japanese cartridge on a Japanese 3DS since the event was only available in Japan


Unless your OT matches the event's OT, there must have been some form of hacking involved.[/quote

At the time my cousin used hacks, before it corrupted his heartgold cartridge and his pearl was eaten by a dog, I grabbed the jirachi and he attempted to hack in a darkrai but ended up picking up lots of jirachis, i reset them all but one but the original OT one must have been lost.
 
Most PC Tohoku events are local wireless only, right? So it's impossible for them to be claimed on non-Japanese 3DS and cartridges, or am I wrong?
Actually most in life events aren't region locked, but it would require attending the event..I'm not sure in this specific case, but I don't see a reason it would've been region locked when things like the movie giveaways and tohoku jirachi were not

It's legal as far as I'm concerned, but I can't say 100% for sure that it's not hacked.

Potentially legal, but without the exact IVs the verdict doesn't mean too much (even less than normal). If you can't verify the source (i.e. it's from a passerby), I'd be very skeptical.

Hacked, lvl 50 is too low for Sinnoh Zapdos. But in the future post the exact IVs, there are plenty of IV calculators on the internet, there's no excuse for not being able to figure out the IVs of a Pokemon that's already lvl 50.

Illegal because date
Just thought I'd point out that the obtained date means almost nothing, because it is very easy to change the date on the 3DS. I myself have a bunch of stuff that says it was obtained in 2031 as a result of me forgetting to change the date back after using my 3DS for RNG abuse

I know this, but normally people don't change it. In this case the problem is that the receiving date is very near us, and, as I think, maybe that the person who hacked that didn't care that was a local event and also thought that receiving an In-game event sets the date to the current 3ds date so he tried to let people think it is legit. So I think it is legal, but not legit and created with Pkhex.

Legal, but probably edited. There's no way to say for certain (unless you can trace its origins), but it being from a Wonder Trade makes it highly suspicious; I'd assume it's hacked.

There was a deleted Reddit account with OT Beto offering a Dive Ball, HA Froakie; it could be a coincidence, but kinda makes you wonder if someone edited that one.
 
I have a question about legit checks.

can gen 6 pokemon have perfect IVs no matter the nature? Doesn't say anything about that so I'm assuming.
