pokesav/hacking question(s)

[fluffy]

is there a way to check if a pokemon was hacked or created through pokesav?

my friend happens to train multiple pokes in no time at all (with max IVs, Evs, natures, moves from 3rd generation games, etc) and says that he's just that good. now it's hard for me to believe this person because he does have action replay and he supposedly taught his gengar and egg move through a heartscale before.

am i supposed to believe a guy that has less than 50 hours on his pearl game or am i supposed to beat him up in real life? HELP!

if it's a good hack, it's very hard to tell.
But most likely they are hacked

instead of starting a new topic

well i just downloaded action replay code manager to my comp and for whatever reason, it says my action replay isn't hooked up to my computer

To answer the questions...

Fluffy, if the problem is his speed with EV training, that's a tough call, as I can fully EV train an entire team of six in a day--and I'm not that fast. Of course, he could be hacking the EVs, but to judge based on speed alone (a single pkmn takes about half an hour to EV train if you do it quickly enough) is a bit hasty. As far as tutoring an egg move with a Heart Scale goes, I'm fuzzy here as I think some third gen move tutors, namely the ones from the GCN games and I haven't had too much experience with the Advance tutors, (I'm not sure about these new gen tutors) could re-teach moves that were once-known, so if his Gengar knew an egg move as a Gastly and he overrode it, he may have been able to re-teach the move.

When in doubt, the only thing to do is check its status pages and look for the signs of a bad hack. Normally, I'd say "When in doubt, it's hacked," but hacking is a pretty serious accusation for this game and even I've been accused of hacking before, so it's not something to be so quickly judged.

M4FD, make sure you have the drivers for the link cable installed on your comp so it can recognize the DS.

@Fluffy
You need to be more specific.
EVs are possible to be done quickly as stated. Perfect IVs are most likely not possible in such a short amount of time though. And none of gengars egg moves and tutor moves are the same, so that was a lie, or he is not getting the facts straight with himself.

look at his pokes
and check the trainer name and id
if it's his own id and name and it says it was traded then you know it's hacked
for instance if it says APPARENTLY hactched

also pokesav is easy to get and free.
so i hardly doubt that his pokes are hacked

 

[Flamestar666]

It always say "APPARENTLY hactched" when It's traded.
And your statement is false, What if they own 2 different copies of Pokemon?
They will be traded, and the pokemon will have different IDs
You now absolutely nothing about hacking pokemon, or even how the games handles IDs, and trades.

 

[killer tofu]

It also says APPARENTLY hatched when you put your own id and name but don't know the secret id. So if it's his actual id and name (witch has a slim chance of happening) but not the secret id, then it would still say APPARENTLY hatched as opposed to "hatched."

 

[Flamestar666]

And do you know why it does this?

 

[killer tofu]

I think it's cuz the secret id is wrong. But i don't know. Never got into hacking.

some pokesav'd pokemon have -------- as their origin.

it means, in a link trade, but it IS pokesav. i got a hacked mewtwo, but i just released it. no way am i using pokesav!!

 

[Shiri]

Secret ID for the "gotcha ho!"

Er...for the win.

------- means it was a horrible hack job.
And it's awesome that you won't use hacked pokes.
I just battled someone who had pokes that he hatched from and egg on september 24 of 2007. Some hackers are just silly.

I know it can probly get discouraging to play people who hack pokes and always have 31 iv with perfect natures and always shiny. But don't worry. It is possible to beat them. It's hard but possible. There's nothing like taking out a team of hacked legendaries. If any of you need help breeding your own pokes or have any questions about raising or just need strategy just pm and i'll be glad to help.
I know im new to these threads. But i'm not a noob. I wish i could battle some people to get some rep. lol

that pokemon hatched from an egg on sept 24, 2007 doesnt necessarily mean its hacked. some of my pokemon are from the distant future as well. they might have changed the date and time on their ds. why would they do that? maybe it was to get drifloon on friday. anywayz for me, i played around my date settings.

btw, i found out that the guy was a hacker. his crobat has spaces after his name.

He tried to Say that he did that. But when i looked at other pokes I noticed that they had close to max stats with a neutral nature if not max. Say an adamant hitmonlee has max speed of 273, that's 31 iv and 252 ev but he also had 319 sp def which is also a 31 iv and 252 ev. Not to mention same hitmonlee has max att. So it had more that 510 ev in total. That's a hack. I know i wasn't as descriptive in the last post. Sorry 'bout that.

Hmm,
1- When you obtain a pokemon from a trade, as stated, it will ALWAYS say, apparently hatched/caught/met or w/e.
2- That does not mean that it is hacked.
3- What are the IVs of the pokemon?
4- Check the persons game and see if it says that they are the original trainer and if it says apparently met/hatched/caught or w/e, then, that means that it is most likely hacked.
