Pokemon stuffs, in the cut
So, we've been pretty into getting the pokemon we need to complete our dex's.
So I guess I can use this as a way to communicate any info that we find that is pertinent to us.
First off, the brackets. Rules are simple, just no legendaries. Held items and any moves are allowed.
15
35
50
70
100 (Nightmare bracket, anything goes including legendaries)
Also important is finding legit pokemons, so here is a guide to seeing if some of your pokemon are legit.
Rare Event Pokemon:
151 Mew
a) English, level 10+, ID no: 06930, OT: MYSTRY, in pokeball, given away at Toys ‘R Us
b) Japanese, level 10, ID no: 50716, OT: Hadou/Wave, in pokeball, given away at Japanese movie event
c) Japanese, level 30+, ID no: Original owner, OT: Original owner, in original ball, ticket acquired from Japanese Event and met in Hoenn
FAKES: English Mew from island. Nintendo never released the Old Sea Chart to American games and any caught Mew should not be English but Japanese. Also, any other Mew caught in the grass is hacked and may not obey.
Added by Poring- Any shiny Mew with the OT Kodewer and the Trainer ID 00666 are hacked. They have the ability Levitate (Mew has Synchronize), maxed Contest Stats, Hydro Pump(Mew can't learn this), are caught in a Cherish Ball, and have every Super Contest ribbon. If you see a Mew like this, it's not legit.

b) Japanese, level 50+, ID no: 07147, OT: Eigakan/Movie Theater, in cherish ball, has classic ribbon, given away at Japanese Movie Event, may know Roar of Time and/or Spacial Rend
FAKES: Anything claiming to be from the Glitch but nicknamed in its English name is hacked. You cannot nickname the Pokemon more that 5 letters in the Japanese versions of D/P. So you can’t have a Glitch Darkrai nicknamed “DARKRAI” unless it's caught in the English version and the item has not been released yet. Also, anything that does not have the proper location.
492 Shaymin
a) Japanese, level 30+, ID no: Original owner, OT: Original owner, in original ball, E4 Surf Glitch used and met in “Flower Paradise”
FAKES: Anything claiming to be from the Glitch but nicknamed in its English name is hacked. You cannot nickname the Pokemon more that 5 letters in the Japanese versions of D/P. So you can’t have a Glitch Shaymin nicknamed “SHAYMIN” unless it's caught in the English version and the item has not been released yet. Also anything that does not have the proper location.
493 Arceus
FAKES: ALL ARCEUS WERE HACKED IN SOME WAY AND ARE ILLEGIT. No events have given away Arceus or its item so you may not traded any hacked Pokemon.
Some more tips to help you crack down on those hacked normal and sometimes more importantly here at PC, shiny pokemon:
Max IVs: It’s a very, very, very rare chance to get a Pokemon with max IVs. It's even more rare to get a shiny one with 31 IVs in all stats. So use some EV reducing berries to get a Pokemon to it’s “prime” state to check its stats here. If it’s all the same number like 30/31 or even 0, then it’s hacked. Before trading, ask the person to tell you the stats and if nessecary, tell them to reduce it's EVs or tell the EV spread. Then use the calculator properly and check it's IVs. I've seen this pretty popular with hacked shinies...
Max EVs: If a Pokemon has more than 255 EVs into one stat or more than 510 total EVs, then it’s hacked. Again, use the EV reducing berries to take out 10 EVs per berry and count up your pokemon’s EVs.
Max Sheen or Condition: A Pokemon can’t have all 5 conditions maxed out, only about 2 or 3 based on my experiences. So if the condition is maxed on all 5 qualities, it's hacked.
Illegal Moves: Any Pokemon knowing impossible moves is hacked. Also, having some impossible combinations of egg moves may also indicate that a pokemon is hacked. Just research the pokemon on your own to see if it can't have two or more certain egg moves at once.
Illegal Ball: Certain Pokemon like all starters (except for Johto starters from Distant Land), fossils, Riolu, Eevee (except from D/P), Celebi, and Jirachi may only be caught in pokeballs. If they are caught in any other ball, then they are hacked.
Illegal Location: Check a pokemon’s location (search online) and see if they can be caught or in some cases hatched in that region. Pokemon like Mewtwo may only come from Kanto, Rayquaza are from Hoenn, and Palkia are from Spear Pillar. However, any hatched Pokemon may be obtained anywhere but must be in a pokeball.
Suspicious ID/OT: Anything with an ID no. of 00000 is automatically hacked. There may be some weird number orders but I've gotten 32323 and 04001 before in my games so it might just be weird luck. Also, based on my experiences, I don't trust anything with the OT of "Tumbly", "Mostafa", "AAAAAAA" or "Zero" but that's just me since I recognize the names from elsewhere.
Suspicious Traders: Before trading with anyone, I highly suggest doing a "background check" on the person and see where and how he/she posts. If it's a new member, you shouldn't take the risk until you can actually see how the person acts like before trading your pokemon first. Don’t stereotype like that all the time because some newbies may be more honest than the veterans here XD *slapped*) If you are asking someone to clone your pokemon, always ask for collateral or an equal pokemon in return. If you do get scammed, report the thread/screenshot the PM and contact a staff member. Any false accusations could cost you your arm though so please don’t lie and make up stories.
Special Pichu/Pikachu: There is no such thing as a Surfing Pichu or Flying Pikachu since the ones obtained from previous events need to have their HM removed in order to migrate to D/P. The only Surfing Pikachu is obtained in a pokeball from Pokemon Battle Revolution and met at “Lovely Place” and “Apparently had a fateful encounter at level 10.
And some more info from Froslass.
There is a flaw to this system, though, as flawless as it used to be...
It's a little cheat device called PokeSAV. Lets you change every, and I mean EVERY detail about a pokemon. This is how, for instance, people get "Wonder Guard Spiritombs." You can change all capture info. (which is what mainly hints at whether or not shiney pokemon are legit), OT names/ID numbers (indicate legit event pokes), gender, ability, natures, even exact IVs and whether or not it's shiney.
This suggested method is not fool-proof, though it is still very, very helpful. (Obviously pokesav been well kept under wraps, because if I mention around here, half the time other members are like "say wha? ") But thought that was a worthwhile addition.
Also some info on Migrated pokemon from Flan.
It SHOULD say what level it was transferred over from. So if you transferred over a LV87 Magikarp that you caught and raised in FireRed, it would say:
"Kanto
Arrived at LV87."
It would NOT say:
"Kanto/Hoenn
(Apparently) Met at LV87"
Or anything else for that matter. ;D
Using this I found out that my Mew, Mewtwo, Ho-oh, and Manaphy are legit. Obviously my Arceus and Darkrai are not, but i'm working on getting ones. Good to know!
Also there is a good video on how to increase your chances of getting legit shinies.

I think that's it for now. For all you that don't do this already...why not? Wifi, yo?!?!? (PS my dratini has pokerus, so if you want to get infected, ill start infecting my pokemon and trade you them.
So I guess I can use this as a way to communicate any info that we find that is pertinent to us.
