Hacked or not? *A guide to hacks*

Bump-a-lump!

I think it's time for a healthy bump. ;)

I was traded Some pkmn from someone(Won't specify unless they were hacked). Afterwards, they told me they got them using an AR code. Does this mean my game is ruined because I got a hacked pkmn? What should I do with the pkmn themselves? And am I in trouble for my ignorance?

Obvious signs of a hack...

Max Contest Stats without Sheen.
Irregular moves like Hypnois on a Garchomp.
Abilities not availible to that pokemon such as a Spiritomb with Wondergaurd.
A pokemon with Key Items like "Oak's Letter".
A pokemon with every ribbon possible, ribbons like Classic Ribbon and such...
Legendary pokemon that say "Apparently hatched on Route "insert route here"."
Arceus and Shaymin are hacked at the moment.
A Metagross cannot be gained under it's evolution level.
Darkrai are only availible in Cherish Balls now, otherwise they are hacked.

Less than obvious signs of hacking....

Starters and pokemon like Lucario are not availible in Masterballs. *2nd Generation Starters from Colluseum are barred, any other 2nd generation starters not from Colluseum are not excluded*
Currently only Darkrai comes in Cherish Balls, any others are hacked.
A Pokesav pokemon has spaces after it's name though it is easily renamed if the hacker is smarter.
A pokemon with the name "ASH" may be hacked by an unamed pokemon program.

Subtle signs of hacking....

A little trickier way to tell is to know what levels pokemon appear at in the wild since you can't get a level 82 Alakazam in the Wild.
Pokemon like Palkia or Dialga caught anywhere other than their original place are hacked.
Any 4th Generation poke, such as Garchomp that say "Arrived from Hoenn" or any other place different from Sinnoh are hacked.
Pokemon with info like the following are hacked. "Caught at Mystery Zone at Level 0".
Slight differences in OT names or wrong OTs. *Only for set OT pokemon like Poketopia Pikachu*

--------------------------------------------------------------

This is just what I thought off the top of my head. This guide will become better from contributions so feel free to tell me stuff I missed. ;)

about that ash thing i have two pokemon with the name ash cause one is my cusints kyogre that i know is legit cause i caught it and he gave it the nickname ash. the other my friends palkia which i don't have anymore.

The mew seems legit to me and to other people on this thread:
http://www.friendcodes.com/forums/po...-legit-or.html

Electivire seems hacked with all its stats being a few away from max which is imposiible without hacking.

As for Rayquaza are those its lv100 stats that you got from wi-fi or lv 87 coz its hard to tell from looking and without knowing the level of thoses stats.

If that dragonites stats are at lv 100 then it is probably real with maxed hp ev's and i think 7 ivs away from perfect iv's coz if u add 31 ivs to all its stats it has been ev trained with only 480 evs. that means that it has been ev trained and has (max ivs -7) in any of atk/def/sp.a/sp.d/speed.

Just a question: is it possible to get Darkrai / Shaymin without hacks?

[DSEND97]

[IS44C]
