Not quit sure if I understood that, but the chance of getting a hexaflawless shiny legendary where sync pulls through, is according to my rough calculations smaller than 1/50 000 000.How so? (Sorry for the possible stupid question.)

Alright thanks for the info. It's not impossible though. Just extremely unlikely.Not quit sure if I understood that, but the chance of getting a hexaflawless shiny legendary where sync pulls through, is according to my rough calculations smaller than 1/50 000 000.
That's true. But there are actually people who do that. I just wanted to know if it's a guaranteed hack or not. Turns out it it's not always a guaranteed hack, since it is possible.Yeah, but you'd probably have to soft-reset 50 million times to get a legit one. Who would have the patience to do that?
Only in that the possibility is so low that it's almost certainly a hack. Not to mention IF someone were to be that incredibly lucky as to genuinely get a 6IV shiny Entei with the exact nature they desired on it... why would they Wonder Trade it? If it seems too good to be true, it most likely is.That's true. But there are actually people who do that. I just wanted to know if it's a guaranteed hack or not.

Idk. There are people who clone and stuff. But I agree with you all, it's so unlikely that's it's probably a hack.Only in that the possibility is so low that it's almost certainly a hack.

Probably unnecessary, but I have to chime in when I see huge numbers tossed around casually. Just to give some actual details here...Idk. There are people who clone and stuff. But I agree with you all, it's so unlikely that's it's probably a hack.
"Occam" :).Arckam's Razor?
Or he could have simply hacked it in.Ok I know this hasn't been posted in forever, but hear me out. So I was trading Speed Boost carvanha spitbacks when I got a shiny Magikarp, OT Jack. I was over the moon! And then...
Nickname: TROLLED
Holding: Master Ball
Lv. 100
Adamant Nature
Ability: Rattled=could've been Moxie Gyarados
But what stood out to me was that this guy caught it in Ever Grande City at lv. 10 and trained it all the way up to a 100 so he could troll. That is dedication.

You didn't even get trolled, you got a Master Ball out of it. A lot better than another zubat at least.Ok I know this hasn't been posted in forever, but hear me out. So I was trading Speed Boost carvanha spitbacks when I got a shiny Magikarp, OT Jack. I was over the moon! And then...

Is it possible to hack the blue pentagon Mark that declares the Pokemom native to the game?You didn't even get trolled, you got a Master Ball out of it. A lot better than another zubat at least.
But yeah, it's probably hacked. A shiny, Adamant, HA Magikarp is realllly unlikely to be used for that purpose. I'd suggest checking its IVs.
Yes. It's also possible to hack what the memory checker in Lilycove says, but would take more effort to make her read its memories as more than just nonsensical gibberish. It's possible to hack nearly anything and everything, it's just a matter of if the hacker wants to put in the effort to do it. (they usually don't)Is it possible to hack the blue pentagon Mark that declares the Pokemom native to the game?
Well two free Choice Scarves are two free Choice Scarves, at least.I got a 6IV Bunnelby off WonderTrade while trading off some 5IV HA Totodile from my Shiny Hunts. It was holding a Choice Scarf, but I was willing to accept that it wasn't hacked or anything. I myself had sent off hexaflawless Pokémon before, so this was somewhat acceptable to me, even if the Choice Scarf was a little iffy. Except that the next guy who I got on WT was the same person as last time. He sent me an exact copy of the Bunnelby I got before, Choice Scarf and all.
Let's just say that's I'm a bit more doubtful now.
And I also have another beauty.
A 6IV Shiny Timburr. BUT WAIT, the twist?
It was in a Level Ball.
But you see, the hacked pokemon will start to become more common than lvl. 2 Caterpie, at that point you WILL PRAY for lvl. 2 Caterpie.Conclusion: too many people have learnt how to hack this generation, and it's starting to affect Wonder Trade noticeably.
Still better than receiving lvl. 2 Caterpie, though.
I wouldn't be too concerned about the Gastly. (unless its like 5-6 IV) It's ones like Shell Armor Torkoal in a Heavy Ball that you obviously need to be wary of. Pretty sure Hoopa shouldn't be able to go through WT if it's legit.I don't really mind getting the hacked legendaries because they're effectively worthless for anything other than to look pretty. Sure you could take them to the Battle Spot unranked matches but that's just asking for trouble to start with.
Got a Hoopa and Shiny Zekrom, Dialga, Raichu, and Meowstic-M. And I suspect all are hacked except the Meowstic-M (which just makes me ponder why they would release that. Glad I gave them at least a thick-fat Tepig in return).
Another thing to watch out for I've noticed is pentagon-pokemon in Johto ball's (like I got a Gastly in a Moon Ball that said it was native and had a ton of egg moves. Haven't checked the IV's yet. It could be hatched from a HG/SS parent, but...)
