How to tell REAL vs FAKE vs LEGAL HACKED Pokemon - Pokémon Sword and Shield: The Crown Tundra Guide

- WE ARE BACK. To hacked Pokemon of course in Pokemon Sword and Shield the Crown Tundra dlc. After seeing the wildly positive reception to the original hacked Pokemon Video I was inspired to make this video. The main thing that inspired me was the comments left on that video. I had comments ranging from, "Is this Pokemon Hacked" to "Can I get banned for having fake Pokemon" to finally "Who cares if the Pokemon are hacked". So with that, I felt inspired to come foreward and answer those questions with a brand new set of fake, or genned, Pokemon used exclusively to illustrate some of my points.
*NOTE: As a clarification. Legal in this video is defined as 'Tournament Legal'. While you can not legally acquire a Shiny Galarian Zapdos without hacking, you CAN use one in a Tournament*

• How to check FAKE and ...
I also wanted to quickly talk about the Galarian Moltres and the joke I was making there. Basically, there is some drama in the Pokemon community right now because a prominent Pokemon CZcamsr, Verlisify, called out a very popular, former World Champion, Pokemon player named WolfeyVGC or just Wolfey for short. After watching both the accusation and the rebuttal from Wolfey I can fairly confidently say that neither was right, at least completely. This comes from a slight lack of understanding on both players parts (which is fine, as I dont expect either to be complete experts in hacked Pokemon). Nonetheless, I thought the drama was funny so I had the hacker recreate Wolfey's Moltres to show how easily it could be done. Now in my opinion, knowing what I know, I don't believe any of the Pokemon that Wolfey used in the Players Cup tournament, except potentially Moltres was hacked. If Wolfey could give me access to the Moltres I could say with more certaininty but the main thing that I don't know is whether the Moltres was 6 iv or Hypertrained. Best case scenario the Moltres is Hypertrained and the person who caught it was hunting for no specific mark gives the Moltres a (1/2)*(4/32)*(3/100)= 3/1600 of being real which ISNT UNREASONABLE. For the record the 1/2 is the chance the attack IV wont be one of the 3 perfect IVs, the 4/32 is the chance the attack IV is 0-3 and the 3/100 is the chance to get any "personality mark with the mark charm". Now in the worst case the math is (1/2)*(1/32)*(1/950)*(1/32)*(1/32) = 1/62259200 chance of being real... but this is the absolute worst case in which the trainer was hunting ONLY the angry mark and the Moltres has 6 IVS (5 best and No Good Attack). Likely the real number answer lies somewhere in the middle. But ya if it's worst case it's safe to assume its hacked but if it's best case, it's worth giving benefit of the doubt (past history not considered). FINALLY, and this is important, no matter if it was hacked or not in this particular tournament it is not the reason Wolfey won. He is a very talented player and he won through good team design and careful play. Also, please do not harass either of these CZcamsrs. What they are both doing at the end of the day is GOOD for Pokemon. Verlisify's goal is to keep competitive Pokemon honest and Wolfey's goal is too help make competitive Pokemon more mainstream and both are important.
tl;dr I need more evidence to say for certain whether Wolfey's Moltres was hacked :) (Also I don't beleive any of his other Pokemon were hacked, having 508 IVs is not enough of an indicator for me).
Also, I stream on CZcams MWF and Sunday from 8:00 PM - 11:00 PM PT, so feel free to stop by when I’m live. Hope to see you there!

Oh, and Pokegen and PKHex mean fake Pokemon. Forgot to mention that! - Hry
I think shiny zapdos passes the hack check because you can have a normal zapdos shiny, it does the same thing with other regional forms where they are considered the same species.
Ya true! That could be why Nintendo missed it.
@@LetsNot who r u to say it cant be shiny?
Shiny Galarian Zapdos has been released as an event Pokémon lately. It wasn't at the time of the upload of this video, but it is now. I think that makes it even more difficult to put a ban on it.
@@dellrae9169 it's can only be caught from an in-game event where it's Shiny Locked (datamined from the code I believe) and since it's a legendary you can't breed it to get shiny and it's not available anywhere else in the game unlike normal Zapdos that can be shiny hunted in Max Lair
You are loved and things will be ok give up don’t lose hope keep going in life you are loved ❤️
I've barely just begun playing Pokémon, Sword and Shield is my first Pokémon game. I've been receiving all kinds of obviously hacked Pokémon through surprise trades because of the website names, but I have trouble checking any other way, so this video and the explanation from friends have been helping me.
I'm glad I could help invader and sorry to hear you've been getting lots of hacked Pokémon :(
@@LetsNot hey I have a question
@@Goku-tv7wf what's the question bruh
@@davidebellinvia711 don't matter now
Why does it matter if it’s hacked, I’ve gotten so many hacked shiny lvl 100 mons such as blastoise, Lapras and regileki. I actually love it because I shredded Leon with blastoise and lapras
I personally think making hacked pokemon that are legal, legal moves, abilities, is fine. I hacked the zeraora event, because I missed my chance to get it from pokemon home
Yeah I used shiny hub for my zeraora
@@dacheezgamer7663 do you have to pay for this service?
@@gamerking4651 no it doesn’t at all
Yeah that's called genning Pokemon
@@cinnamonstick5040 I’m not proud of it, but I genned in a Shiny Regieleki for the time being, until I have luck getting mine to shine back in Shield Crown Tundra. Gave it a non-beneficial nature (Careful), only 3 perfect IVs, and the 4 moves it would have if you caught it in CT, and in an Ultra Ball. I just can’t stand that the Regis’ shiny rates are full odds. I’m nearly at 1700SRs, and the fact that I’ve seen some people go up to nearly 20k with no luck is just stupid. Hell, none of this would’ve been an issue if the Regis weren’t coded to be static encounters, or if PoGO didn’t lock Eleki & Drago’s shinies the one time they were in those broken Elite Raids. It’s just insufferable. All I want is some white cables on my bouncy yellow boi 😩
Legal doesn’t mean it can just be traded
Legal means it could theoretically exist exactly like this without hacking/glitching.
And illegal is just that it couldn’t exist exactly like this without hacking/glitching
There are also some Grey Zone-Pokemon that are/were available without specific glitchabuse that are always on an "eh, idk if this is safe to run"-basis.
For example, some international Pokemon games from Gen 1 and 2, and all from Gen 3 can trade with each other without issues, but interregional trading is only supposed to be done from Gen 4 onwards. In Gen 4, Manaphy Eggs are shiny locked except if they are traded to someone else before hatching(Which can easily be mistaken for an intentional secret if one does not know that it is a glitch). And in earlier versions of Pokemon Transporter, Shinies were calculated incorrectly, so there are some mons running around that aren't shiny when they really should be and the reverse.
SO can you really tell if a poke is hacked if its been hacked in with normal moves non shiny and proper levels met dates and areas?
@@TheCrispyChip if it’s hacked properly there’s no way to distinguish it from fully legit mons no
@@Kronos327 Oki I missed out on volcanion and hoopa and I'm running out of patience trying to find a fair trade. I don't have lots of extra legendary or cool shines so it'd hatd to find some mythics
If you get a hacked pokémon make sure they have a masterball if they do take it because it can help catch legs pretty sure I got a shiny sandshrew threw surprise trade and it is pretty legit no issues so far this video helped thank you!
For sure!!!! Happy to help :) and congrats!!!
How to take it back bro? I really need your help 😭
@@kureshu1327 you need to press a on the hacked pokemon and press held item
I was doing the shiny egg method and doing surprise trades and getting suspiciously good shinies- anyway- I was minding my business watching when my egg hatches and it’s a shiny riolu catching me way off gaurd... so I’m going to keep watching and see if it happens again...
NICE!!!!
You are loved and things will be ok give up don’t lose hope keep going in life you are loved ❤️
So basically, if you want to make a legal pokemon: If it's a legendary don't make it shiny and use a mid nature, make it 4x31 or 5x31, pp up just some moves, increase evs, dont put all the ribbons and marks, modify the way that was caugth
@@soggyandroid Pretty difficult given that a lot of mons from veterans are actually obtained from the gameboy games themselves. A lot of those gameboys are long gone.
What about shiny 6iv pokemon from max raid? As far as I can tell, it is still a legal pokemon. Also, will pokemon home stop hacked transfers? Third question, can you get Pokemon with TM, TR from raids?
Home won't care as long as it is Legal so that means No Shiny Victini, Shiny Eternatus snd Shiny Keldeo for example. Or Pokemon like a Metapod that somehow knows Flamethrower and Thunderbolt.
You are loved and things will be ok give up don’t lose hope keep going in life you are loved ❤️
Well shiny 6iv pokemon from max raid is rng manipulation so not hacking, but defo sketchy. You're welcome for the quick reply.
@@veevendetta3448 Eternatus is actually legal as a Shiny now but it has to match up with the event details
That’s so unfortunate. I have quite a few from surprise trades. I just started playing Pokémon games and I thought I was getting super lucky. I was so stoked. Well man… I didn’t even know hacked mons existed 😱
Ya :/
In my 3DS games, I get hacked Pokémon like this all the time but I keep them just to look at them. They stay in my boxes to collect digital dust because I'd rather shiny hunt them myself or build them myself.
i got three shiny's through surprise trade with link names, and i don't intend on using them in tournaments or ranked battles. but i was wondering, can you get your account banned by just having them in your boxes / non league battle teams even if your not the one that hacked them?
In my opinion the only way a pokemon is legit is if you yourself know you caught it on your own, with no cheats, bots, etc. This is because I could make a level 5 route 1 rookidee, make it normal to the point to where there's nothing fishy and it still be hacked. But that's what I think, I only care if they are legal and keep them offline if they are hacked or released if illegal
Thanks for the info! I have a question...i got a lv 100 shiny zapdos from gts and its from lets go, it has 6 iv and there’s no pp up...so its hacked? Because i understand that when you hyper train in lets go the stats appeared at “best” and not “hyper training”...is that right? And in SwSh it appears “best” to all stats...so im confuse..could you help me?
Hmmmm I would have to test this and see
Thank you! I got that same message when someone tried to trade me a shiny Kyogre!
Glad I could help :)
Imagine getting a hacked Pokémon with pokerus
is and infecting your real Pokémon and then releasing it, free pokerus
Yea or getting a hacked Pokémon with a free master ball lol
i got a hacked pokemon with ACTIVE pokerus
Im not kiding
Loads of my pokemon have pokerus
@@kaedynkaedyn.7515 I did too but I'm scared to infect my legit Pokemon can you give me advice?
@@goosey9222 nah sorry I don’t know much about pokerus but maybe a CZcams video about it will help
I have a question. My only concern is whether or not I can put a hacked Pokémon in Home and take it back out. Do you know if I can do that? I’m trying to find out before I make any purchases.
They told me to just catch them all.. but instead I wasted my life learning every aspect of almost 1000 different fake creatures…. Lol
Yeah, its easier just to generate one
Shiny hunting is fun at least.
I had 1 of each cloned Alolan Ninetails and Vaperion, who I got properly through the games, either caught in right location, or bred properly, and no suspicious moves, and yet I couldn't enter a battle with my cousin, and one of them couldn't get through. But my cousin could
I'm sorry I really don't get the shiny locked thing, could you explain to me or point me somewhere to read about it?
Specifically I'm confused when you say Zapdos for example is shiny locked, but can't you soft reset for a shiny zapdos in firered? If you transferred it through the games to HOME, are you saying it wouldn't be allowed into sword / shield? thanks for clearing this up
no, he's referring to Galarian Zapdos not the regular Zapdos.
You can soft reset for regular Zapdos in FireRed/LeafGreen and some other games but that's shiny locked in X and Y so no amount of resetting will regenerate a Shiny for you there because it's coded in a way to prevent that.
Galarian Zapdos isn't the same as the Zapdos you would've seen in Red, Blue or FireRed.
Just curious, if someone has a hacked 3DS and uses cheats or uses a R4 flash cart to cheat and trigger a pokemon spawn that normally is in the game but is unable to get it anymore such as event pokemon (latios and latias from soulsilver and hesrtgold) or growthlith in soulsilver if one dosent have heartgold would that Pokemon be classed as a hacked pokemon if one tries to upload it to pokemon home (for pokedex completion purposes)?
Yeah, I actually got quite a few hacked pokes from surprise trade the other day grinding out my pokedex (and they were super obviously hacked lol)-- I had to release so many shiny legendaries lmao.
Oof ya haha i feel you
some hold items like ability patches or master balls are these items usable or not haha
@@TheHonoredOne999 useable
Pat on the back to myself for providing them :) love the vids man keep it up!
Definitely! Thank you for providing the hacked Pokémon for these videos!
@@LetsNot my pleasure
One of the way I tell if pokemon are fake, especially event pokemon, is to look at the dates. It might not be a instant giveaway for regular pokemon but for event mons its a dead give away. Serebii has a long detailed list of all event pokemon released with the correct dates listed. I once got a TRU Arceus from a trade with the date of 2022 when that even took place in diamond and pearl in 2009.
I've spent a hell of a lot of time breeding for IVs, using items for natures and shiny hunting via hatching, using max lair for bottle caps etc. to make my team appear as close to perfect as possible (OCD problems) and only playing casual to get better at the game before playing ranked, sucks to think that people will just assume my team's hacked. My first hatch was a 6IV shiny Adament Mimikyu after hours and hours of trying, I was lucky enough to get another shiny hatch with 5IVs and 'decent' defence within the next 5 eggs (insane I know) and now I just feel like using the imperfect one so people don't get upset :c
And that happens because of people like this guy who look down on people hacking Pokémon and gatekeeping the freakin game. All pros use them, so like it’s the stupidest thing to think it’s superior to use non hacked Pokémon. If you enjoy that grind, all power to you man, I don’t have time for that and want to be able to enjoy competitive play as well.
Just record your pokemon hatching and make sure your video shows all the info for the hatched pokemon like the stats, nature, ability etc and then you have proof your mon is legit.
@AlexeiX1 if you are talking competitive play as in competition arranged by Nintendo/Game Freak then what you are doing is cheating and most of the pros are cheating and they shouldn't. Also your reasoning is ridiculous. Try applying it for arm wrestling i.e. you want to do competitive arm wrestling but you don't have time to do the work out grind to build the muscles needed for arm wrestling so you take the easy way and use steroid...does that make it ok? If you want to enter a competition then you needed to respect the rules of that competition, if you don't like the rules then create your own or enter a different competition.
I mean it doesn't really matter if the pokemon is hack, as long as the pokemon doesn't have any illegal moveset like having a magikarp with a draco meteor and a wonder guard ability like bro wtf.
I got a hacked mon in wondertrade but it had pokerus so I'm like that's cool.
I’ve had two different interactions with hacked Pokémon.
The first was when I was 10 or 11, and I met a kid on a plane who was using a GameShark with one of the Gen3 games. With it, he caught me a mew by manipulating the spawn rates of everything in the game. He also maxed out all my items so I was throwing master balls for the rest of my time playing Leaf Green. I was able to transfer that mew all the way to Pokémon White, when I was attempting to migrate everything from then to Omega Ruby. But trying to transfer it to Gen VI is where the games finally noticed, and blocked it from migrating any further.
The second case, and I never pinged that it was hacked until this video, was a Shiny Rayquaza holding a Master Ball I received in Wonder Trade. I still have that one, as the IVs were perfect, but it hadn’t been leveled. And that year there were a boatload of events commemorating the 20th anniversary, some of which gave that Shiny Rayquaza. So I never thought anything of it.
Also for anyone newer to the franchise that want to poke a hole saying that you can’t Wonder Trade mythical or special Pokémon, that wasn’t the case then. At that point in the online, I was sending hundreds of Phione through Wonder Trade, just because they were so easy to hatch at that point.
Some events can be wonder traded. Wonder Trades only block certain things and that includes a Ribbon that is common on event pokemon but not universal.
Are transferable Gen 4 Johto Pokemons & Gen 5 Pokemons from a modded 3DS allowed to be used in Pokemon Online Battles?
I have a Mew that I got from someone's old cart and it doesn't have max IVs, maxed moves, it has a few ribbons and says it's from the hoenn region across space and time. The only reason I think it's hacked is cause it's mew really lol
While yes it could be hacked, in Japan there was a event for shiny Mew during ORAS
@@dannymunoz7842 that was for emerald
My old account has shiny jirachi which from mystery gift, yes u could said it was hacked but still has the legal one
You can get a shiny mew from the pomeg glitch in emerald which isn't really hacking.
Or that old one mew event back in the original gen 3 games but its EXTREMELY unlikely that someone got a mew from that event, traded it up to gen 8 AND THEN GAVE IT AWAY
I'm very late but I just came across your channel! Just glad to know that if I ever receive a hacked Pokémon somehow and I somehow don't notice I won't just get yeeted from Pokémon online
Thank you so much for the video!
Really appreciate your content! I found your channel by accident by watching Wolf and glad I did. I just have one weird question. Someone traded me a shiny giratina for a scorbunny and even tho the trade seems obviously bad, I don’t know exactly what to think about it. It was caught in Sinnoh using a master ball, so no memories, it’s lvl 100 and although this made me have suspicions about it, it has no max pps, no ribbons, hasty nature, not ev trained. One weird thing for me tho is that it doesn’t have a single perfect iv, none of them are 31. I thought all legendaries were set to have 31 Ivs in at least 3 stats so I’m uneasy about it.
In the old days legendary Pokemon didn't have guaranteed perfect IVs. :) I just double checked with my Giratinas in home and they don't have any
@@LetsNot Oh alright. Now i dont have to release it. Thanks for the help.
Can you transfer illegal hacked Pokémon’s to other games just for the play trough or do you get banned for it?
tfw I'm in the middle of a trade with Normie Girl while watching this video lol
LOL!

I really appreciate your content, very detailed and researched! Subscribe :)
In fact, I just received a tapu fini from a trade (with a scorbunny!), not really sure about how legit it is...it's level 60, caught in Alolan region with a beast ball, so no memories, timid nature, 4 perfect IV, not shinny or max PPs. Do you think that's a hacked pokemon? thanks!
It seems fine. As long as it doesn't have a weird OT or nickname or exactly 508 evs haha
Oh check ribbons too :)
@@LetsNot this is not a related question...but are we able to transfer eevee from lets go to sword? I tried to use Home, but it won't let me for some reason :(
@@nataleys1647 Are you talking about any eevee or specifically the special eevee? From Lets Go Eevee?
@@LetsNot the special eevee
So if someone was able to trade me a most likely hacked pokemon is it still safe to have or should I get rid of it?
Hi this Vid really helped me during my sword and shield trading days, now I wanna know if you have a guide for Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl?
Would you consider a pokemon that has received hacked rare candies to level them up and hacked in
stat boosters like calcium but caught normaly an illegal hacked pokemon?
Great question! The items are hacked but since the Pokemon itself is untouched by hacking software 8d say that Pokémon is fine. Keep in mind too, with the release of sword and shield these hacks are becoming less of an issue because XP candy is so easy to get and max Pokemon with. Same with EV training items now that you can buy them with any mini game currency! Or Pokémon jobs
@@LetsNot I Have alot of illegal but I can't use them online if I go camp with them ppl can see my shiny Zacian
1 have 2 illegal Pokémon at least and I need to know if I got any others, this video really helped me find out which are suspicious
Glad I could help! :)
Hey, I did a surprise trade and got a level 1 Aerodactyl and a Shiny dragonite, and I went to Wild Area and various players started to spawn on wild area, and giving me items, is that normal? If not what I do?
I guess my question would be, do people usually hack random non-legendary Pkmn and trade them away? Like, if I get a Squirtle or a Steelix via Wonder Box or GTS, are they ever going to be hacked? Or are those usually legit? 🤔 I just started trading using Pkmn Home (it’s insanely easy to do on my phone) and I’m worried I might get a hacked mon that’s so unimpressive I don’t even stop to check, yknow?
Nice tips! Hopefully this will help some people out.
Although I wouldn’t personally consider being hatched in a non-daycare route location as any kind of flag. Why would they do it? To get a cool location in the summary screen. Plenty of people purposely go to an interesting or fitting location to hatch eggs because it looks cooler than ‘route 5’ in the summary screen. They could have been collecting eggs in the pc and then hatching them all at once rather than right as they bred them. Makes even more sense to do it that way in the current generation where you can access the pc from anywhere. Received from a link trade rather than the nursery is definitely a flag, but imo simply being hatched on a non-daycare route is not.
Also, pokemon from earlier games seem to almost always have the ‘fond memory but can’t remember the details’ memory even if they are completely legitimate, so that’s also something to keep in mind.
Everything else was good advice on what to look for, though.
Almost none of what this guy adds in for real. The answer is simple. Its not hacked if you made it, it is hacked if its traded. This is why you can't be proud of having shiny pokemon with marks because videos like this will label it hacked for that alone.
@@stephanreiken9912 No, everything I said was for real. Not sure what you’re disagreeing with here. Traded does not equal hacked, that’s just incorrect. The answer is simple: it’s not hacked if it’s not hacked, and the only way to know that for sure is to obtain it yourself. But that doesn’t mean that everything else is actually hacked. LOL
@@bluecannibaleyes The only way to know for sure, is true and its also to say that anything you don't know for sure you have to assume is hacked.
@@stephanreiken9912 You don’t have to assume that. You can use common sense to make educated judgement calls, like this guy is trying to teach people. Just because you don’t know for sure doesn’t make it automatically hacked, and it’s silly to say a sweeping blanket statement that everything is hacked except for your stuff. Sure, if it’s too good to be true, it probably is, but you don’t really need to be quite so paranoid. If it’s not something crazy, then it’s most likely fine. Chances are, that random non-shiny spitback you got on wondertrade is just as legitimate as the one you traded for it. LOL
@@stephanreiken9912 And you can be proud of whatever game achievement you want, no one is stopping you.
Heyo my guy, quick question.
I have a Shiny Metalgross from the ORAS Preorder with the OT of Steven. I Tried lending it to a friend and got the error message, so are specific event mons not tradable? I transferred it up through Bank and then Home not sure if that matters.
Yes! Specific event mons are untradeable!
@@LetsNot This is not correct. Certain event Pokemon cannot be traded over Surprise/Wonder Trade or GTS, but nothing prevents them from being traded with a friend via Link Trade, over local or internet, unless the Pokemon has set off the hack check.
I have a question, i played competitively some years ago and if I'm not mistaken, just by breeding with a destiny knot, the egg would inherit 4 ivs from parents, so having a 4,5,6 IV perfect pokémon ain't that suspicious innit?
If its from an egg.
Hi letsnot! I got traded a chinese jangmo-o (not shiny, lvl 1) and the name of the OG trainer is CHN(star symbol) and some hanja. It was caught in a beast ball which I assumed it was maybe bred or smth. Do you think it's hacked? I'm terrified I already had to release a shiny drapion
Hey SVT! Can you check how many perfect ivs it has?

My gf got a shiny Thunderus and soon after a shiny altaria from wonder trade. Both lvl 100. Thunderus had competitive moveset+nature and said it came from max raid den (with a masterball). Altaria wasn't competitive and said it came from Sinnoh. Don't know if they're fake or not and idk if there would be consequences if she played them online
Ok so when I was doing surprise trades for the first time I got a hacked shiny but it was my first time with trades like this so I didn't know these were actually hacked so after I learnt it I just released it since it wouldnt listen anyway.
i think i got wonder traded 2 hacked pokemon. They both had all 6 best stats, were both holding masterballs, and one of their nicknames was a discord server, and one was a website. They were also both shiny .

Is there a way to tell if a max raid den you joined is hacked? I've encountered and caught a few shiny Pokémon from there, but they were also during events. I have the event kanto rapidash and event kanto meowth. People have told me to just release them to be safe, however I can't yet because I still want to believe they might be legit. Any advice?
Hey, I recommend you check out my seed checker video or my raids speedrun video. Most truly hacked raids have been stopped by Nintendo. Meaning that it's more likely it's just someone manipulating their date after finding out when something will be shiny. The Pokemon from these are typically safe to keep VS the old truly hacked raids from when the game released
The only time I get legal hacked pokemon is when I can customize everything, I just go on the pokemon database and make their IV's EV's and more correct, I do not do tournaments so I should be ok, am I right?
I got a spectrier from the gts. Traded for a rypherior that I put in the gts thinking that it would never happen. It doesn't have a good nature (the nature it has is careful), it's level 75 and it doesn't have any ribbons.
Is there a way to check the Evs without passing it from home to my game? I don't want to pass it there if there's a chance of it being a "legal hacked pokemon".
if it is a legal hacked pokemon nintendo won't know its hacked and you can't be banned
Hey! It could very well be real. I played both Sword and shield and also replayed Shield to get extra legendaries to trade for Pokémon I needed for the dex or shinies I wanted. If you have multiple profiles on your switch and have Pokémon Home, you can easily access the Pokémon from the other profiles to send to your main profile as well. It is a pain to replay the games all over again but, the Pokémon are at least legit.

Can you still use the hacked pokemon in non online battles like in story? Bc I have a few ant I really like them and there my first shinies (sadley) but I still like them so could I still use them offline?
I know I'm late but. I got a shiny lvl 100 eternatus and it's
OT is Galar with a classic ribbon. Is it hacked or from the event?
The real Shiny Eternatus would match up with those 2 things so it's probable that it's either real or hacked, the ID would have to match with 221118 and it would always need the fateful encounter flag in its acquired summary
Thank you so much for this video!!
I received what seem to be hacked Pokemon with website names. Do you happen to know if Pokemon bred from them are considered illegitimate or illegal? Could the offspring be brought into online battle if the IVs appeared normal?
The Pokemon bred from them will be totally fine :)

Ya I got the full 6iv shiny eevee on trade and I got 4 of them all same pattern and owner, no doubt it was hacked, and I refuse to use, while I breed it for myself from my Chinese friend for masuda method, and finally I got 1 shiny with best 6 iv eevee and 1 best if with 5, is luck for me and I totally grateful for myself
You used the hacked mons to breed? They’re still considered hacked
@@michaelbolduc6155 I think u wrong a about me, what I mean is although I got all those hacked mon while surprise trade, I still was deleted them and breed my own eevee which I got from one chinese player with good ev with good poke ball and I spam about 413 breed to get one my own shiny eevee
@@michaelbolduc6155 plz don't judge ppl without think
Don't know if I'll get a reply, but I just got an event shiny solgaleo. Everything seems legit but the encounter date is 8/22/19. Just over a month before the event. Is this most likely fake/hacked?
@@keepitsimple8568 yes it had the alolan icon. It’s from the sun/moon cosmic eclipse event.
@@marcosmendoza-moreno9778 the date is irrelevant since the date could be anything since the 3DS reads what date it is set to and there's people that likes to change that.
Here's the definite info that'll tell you whether it's a definite hacked or not
OT must be Eclipse
ID must be 100419
It must have the fateful encounter flag in its summary AND it must have a Classic Ribbon
I ended up getting 2 hacked pokes when doing a random trade thank you for the info as I was able to point them out and send them to the shadow realm before I traded them not knowing they were hacked, at least I got 2 free master balls out of them.
Goddamnit i just wrote a 6 sentence comment clearing up misconceptions then i see this in the recommended videos. Good vid though
LOL thanks
Your pfp. Hmmm........ it SEEMS like you entered an adult site by the name of: Rule 34
Yeah actually i did
@@LetsNot i have a question for nintendo... If some pokemon are completely shiny locked, why did they even create a shiny form?
@@Athalos-uu8xf Two reasons. First, they leave themselves the opportunity to release the shiny later, even if they don't always get around to it during that generation, at least they have the option to. The second reason is for stability. Which would you rather have, a hacker use a harmless Shiny Victini in your raid den, or have your game crash everytime you were paired with a hacker because your game doesn't know how to handle the non-existant shiny they've modded in?
So I know I'm late to the party because I only started playing Pokemon Sword last month. But I have to disagree with some of your reasons to throw red flags.
6 iv hatched pkm: that outcome is very likely especially when you breed two 5 IV+ Pokemon each holding destiny knot. I just hatched a 6iv Kanto Meowth. While it took some chain breeding to get a Meowth with five IVs to go with my 5iv ditto the end result led to a 6iv meowth like I wanted. And since my Ditto is from Japan, it's going to be very likely that when I finally hatch a shiny it will have perfect IVs. I'm just saying you can't use the fact that a Pokemon has perfect IVs as a red flag (maybe with legendaries (not found in max raid adventures) you can.
Nature: while that Zapdos buggy is clearly fake, you can't use its nature as a red flag because you can catch it easily with that nature using a Pokemon with synchronize ability in lead with nature you want.
Yes, but you can't breed legendaries.
tysm! I never realised before that when i do a surprise trade, sometimes it will say that error thing before i trade and get a hacked pokemon
During the beginning of quarantine in early 2020, I received the best wonder trade. Level 1 Shiny Koffing with the Pokerus immunity, 0 IVs across the board, and it was nicknamed Pokerus-19.
But on another note, during ORAS I was looking for a 6V foreign ditto for breeding purposes. I saw a shiny ditto claiming to be 6V and they were asking for a legendary. I had a spare so I traded and sure enough, a 6V Adamant Shiny Ditto with Imposter. 100% Think its hacked, but I use it to legitimately breed my Shiny 6V mons.
Thats a hacked guy
I wish game freak had away to report hackers or actually use their anti hack system the right way. Too many people are hacking ranked match so many shiny legendary pokemon that isn't out yet and battle a shiny starter cinderace with libero I've checked their pokemon after battle and seen shiny cinderace came from postwick with libero that's not possible.
Ya they really need to step it up
what is bad about hacked Pokémon there just regular Pokémon but are shiny
@@SumGum there isnt anything bad, these people just salty
@@kimplin lol
@@SumGum i mean if your using hack shinies for only your lil playthrough thats fine, however he’s saying people bring hacked pokemon with op iv’s and just slaughter everyone in online battle, which ruins the fun
making things shiny locked is extremely lame... but it is what it is
I agree. Shiny locked is silly
@@LetsNot Being gifted a shiny feels a lot different than resetting 1,000,000,000 times to get a shiny
So if i have a obviously hacked on my account from a surprise trade, but i just use it for offline or max raid dens can i keep it or will i get banned?
Hey Szuhat! While I cant say for 100% (because I dont work for Nintendo) as long as it doesn't touch online play from what I've seen over many players over many years you chance of getting banned for just having it is extremely low! Hope that helps!
@@LetsNot thanks for the quick answer! From now on you can call me a subscriber of yours :D
I know most hackers wouldn’t do it but would there just technically be no way for a regular person to tell a legal hacked mon from a real mon if it just has standard moves, iv, nature etc
Also, wondering what your thoughts are on things like cloned mon, personally I don’t care about legal, real, or cloned at all as long as I know before getting them
I think it wouldn't be hackers duping those pokemon probably more like normal players using exploits
thank you for telling. I already know if the Pokémon are hacked but you shared some more tips for me, thank you.
For sure, happy to help!
If you get a legal hacked pokemon, it will be insanely weak, but you can unhack them by claiming the same pokemon, but unhacked and legal.
a hacked pokemon is a hacked pokemon and u can tell because ur not the one who got it and u dont have evidence for it
I just want to ask is generating in a Pokémon in though something like oakslabs fine? You don’t need to mod your switch in order to use oaks lab but you do need a online service
Also did anyone else noticed the fact that the moltres’s og trainer was normie girl
Hey Gold, the resulting Pokémon will still be fake of course. It's similar to buying a fake Pokémon off ebay or something
@@LetsNot k just wanted to ask
I know I’m a little late on this video, but are there hacked dens? Because I have 2 shedninja that are shiny and the exact same stats and also have a another Pokémon (can’t remember what it is) that is shiny and have its evs good but a bad nature.
Hey Kynder yes there are hacked dens, BUT all Pokemon from the same den will have the same stats. So that isnt enough to know for sure. Are all the IVs on shedinja perfect? (Also i will cover hacked dens a little more in a future vid)
@@LetsNot Lol I'm really bad with this sorry for commenting 3 months later, but no it has no good in attack and speed
LetsNot do be growing fast
got a 6 iv perfect shiny ditto with a destiny knot, guess with that i can now better shiny breed than with my 5 iv ditto XD
so, i gts traded a zacian for a hisuian samurott lvl 91-100 and got a hyper trained ev with pokerus Spanish lvl 100 zacian and it has a champion ribbon but the trainer i got it first was Chinese but is says that it met the person at the tower of summit which is where you find zacian/zamazenta. so is is real? or hacked?
If the Zacian isn't shiny it sounds fine based off of what you told me!
I got a full stat shiny dragonite from surprise trade in sword and I was so confused lol should I keep it or release
Really upset because I was happy to get some shinies, but it was from stuff like pokeflash and machamps :(
@Opposinn Dog How do i find you almost everywhere
@Opposinn Dog Cause it's true
Hey on my (legit )shiny kyurem has max pp on all of his moves fully done by me
Holy Sh!t
that same moltres was used by wolfe glicke in the players cup 2 thanks man i will pass it on
and you can sycronise the nature of the galar birbs i did that for my galar birbs
Oh thanks glad to hear it. And ya synchronizing natures became less of a thing with mints but it's definitely not a bad way to go
Have you seen a Pikachu with a ball cap that says it is from a tv program?? The OT is Ash (of course). Is this a legal or hacked 'mon??
that's sadly not enough info to say 1 way or the other BUT because it says Ash and TV program that narrows it down to the Gen 8 distribution rather than the Gen 7 distribution so if the ID is 201023, it has a Hardy nature, not below Level 25, has a Classic Ribbon and is male and is in a Poké Ball then that makes it more probable that it could be legal, it also needs to have the fateful encounter flag in its summary
Is there any way to check of a hypertrained pokemon's original Ivs?
I like when you got on the Website named Pokémon because I got like 20 different Pokémon from them lmao
Right?????? Haha you should check out my surprise trade video
Is it machamps.com?
3:45 wait I got to trade through a public link trade with that OT they gave me a hacked Regidrago.
EDIT: yes, I released it I hate hacked pokémon
Wait really? With the OT Normie Girl?
@@LetsNot yep I have the league card too. Also it had a link name so I immediately knew it was hacked
I got a completely maxed out latias and Latios and both of them were shiny. Seemed to good to be true, which it was
@@ninjapharaohcat724 oof. I got scammed out of a legitimate shiny Lugia once, it sucked until I scammed the person back and got their legit shiny JAPANESE, *EVENT* Mew
@RSC7_ HANZO I'm not sure if you can sell master balls, but if you can, you should
I've gotten a few Shiny hacked Pokémon in Wonder Trade lately (been collecting my favorites), but, since I'm breeding for Shinies (not using them), I have 'em so I can tell when I legitimately breed one of my own. Once I do, the hacked one gets released.
hi i just released a pokemon that was probably hacked and it had an ability patch that’s in my inventory now is it safe to use the ability patch on any of my other pokemon??
Yes!
all im noticing is one piece characters names , u got a sub
I know this video is 3 weeks old, but...
Its pretty hard to tell if a pokemon is hacked/manipulated, because of super iv training.
Btw everytime i got a shiny (not even lv 100) from pokemon home, 9/10 it was hacked/manipulated. Isnt there a legit way tobplay pokemon anymore?
Hey Pixel! Actually, you can tell if a Pokemon has perfect IVs naturally or had been hypertrained! It will say 'Best' if natural and hypertrained otherwise. But ya I agree that hacked Pokémon are wayyy to common right now and Nintendo needs to step in up
You can clean up the link names and OT with a bot known as baire its super helpful BLANES had a great video on it.
My question is are the items that are genned/legit cloned items detectable/any different than items legitimately obtained?
They are not! Items don't work quite the same as Pokemon so they should be safe
I recently home brewed my switch, but I’m not stupid enough to make an illegal Pokémon.
I haven’t watched yet but I’m sure it’s good
Haha thanks as always for the vote of confidence
We will duel tomorrow
@@princezuko663 Believe in the heart of the cards
Hey i have a question.
I got a shiny Rhyperior from a gts trade where i put up a gengar and asked for a Rhyperior.
When i transferred it to sword it had 6 best I’vs and all of the little blue symbols at the bottom of it’s description.
It’s nature is Adament and it says that it traveled time and space to join me from the
Alola region.
When i checked it’s memories it said that it had a fond memory however it didn’t seem to be able to remember the details.
So I’m just wondering, is my Pokémon hacked?
I didn’t want to release it just yet because I wanted to ask someone who knew a bit more about this than i do.
Pokemin from trades / coming in from your other ganes will have the text of having a fond memory (Been transferring mons since Emerald) also, 6IV bred shiny mons aren't all that hard to get if you know what you're doing.
Probably not I got legit Pokemon that said that they got no memories and ones I KNOW HACK SAY THEY HAVE MEMORIES THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN TELL IS IF IT COMES IN A BEAST BALL CAUSE 8/10 NOBODY GONNA use that on a shiny
I got gen 4-7 and a 3Ds powersaves, back when I purchased it I couldn’t pass the gamesync as soon as I touched a Pokémon directly, all passive ways of hacking, (speeding up the process of training and breeding) are so slow it’s not worth call it hacking anymore lol .. I wonder if u can skip it now that they closed gamesync in older gems.. back on the ds with action replay card there been no struggle at all. Don’t get me wrong even the legitimate hacked u have shown seem to be crazy, 2or3 max IV are enough or not?! Worked so hard for my shinys and they got no maxed iv.. are they crap now for pvp?!
If u didn’t catch it or breed it yourself and random person just traded it to u, perfect iv, shiny, it’s hacked
Haha ya! If it's true good to be true...
I had some hacked pokemon and got rid of them instantly after watching this video. Now i know to not have these pokemon in my boxes, or my party.
Glad I could help :)
Question: Is it okay to keep the items before deleting the fakemons?
Yes
Someone traded me a shiny celibi in bdsp it also is from germany, I know she's not in the game but they were able to trade it to me and I'm new to this so idk what's right and wrong. Is it illegal to have should I release it? I don't play online or anything so I just don't want to be in any trouble. Please help.
Question for you, does it have a Gameboy icon OR say that it's from GO? Both of those things will make it probable to be either real or hacked
Is this information still good for Scarlet and Violet? I just want to make sure my perfect Japanese dito isn’t hacked and I don’t want to get in trouble for using it as a breeder if I decide to go into ranked or a tournament
Pokemon do not store parent data, so breeding from a hack is safe.
In the past i did use action replay and online pokemon generators to hack pokemon. During black and white, i hacked a victini cause i missed the event. I also hacked pokemon that i couldnt get because i didnt have acces to other games. I dont do pvp. I just like collecting
i got an articuno, not shiny, no master ball, lvl 70, and it’s name is “please” instead of those sites… it looks so incredibly real, i cant tell if it is or not and i really love articuno😭😭 it’s ability is pressure, it’s moves are ice beam, freeze dry, hurricane and mist and it’s nature is adamant
I've been mistery traded a shiny regieleki with 6ivs and a link as ot. Since it's been traded, is it legal and safe to keep? I won't use him for online battles, only for raids
I wouldn't use it for online raids either. Nintendo is specifically targeting link name Pokémon right now so honestly I'd release it
i just say release the genned in pokemon after taking the item and look for Apri Ball Breedjects on suprise so you can shiny hunt them in a fancy ball after wards the best shiny is your own hard earned shiny
