    AuSLove.tv does Shiny max raids and and shiny give aways. He did one today with shiny mimikyu with perfect IV and jolly nature. I'm assuming the raid was hacked as opposed to time skipped?

    Alrighty, time for me to stop being lazy.

    Hacked. AuSLove.tv, ANY .tv OT for that matter, is always hacked. If in doubt, just ask yourself this; why would they bother to do timeskip when they can just hack it in and spare any effort?

    Assuming you mean 6 normal IVs and no hyper-trained, I'd certainly be wary of this one! Sounds suspicious.

    I don't think Rotom from HOME can be shiny, but since it has 6 IVs it's hacked anyway. The OT HOME just seems to be a terrible try at a meme.

    Seems pretty normal, but if it was received from Wonder Trade (which is what the 'Where/how you received it' question is for!), it's probably a clone, but Lombre isn't a popular shiny Pokemon so someone might just be trying to get rid of it.

    Hacked. OTs with .tv are always hacked.

    This is a valid event, but 6 IVs is very suss. Is probably hacked in some form or another.

    Perfect nature and perfect IVs, this is probably edited at least (which means it counts as a hack). Quick Google shows me there's an eBay website offering 6 IV Necrozma with this OT, so that only makes it more certain it's a hack.

    Perfect IV shiny? I'd lean towards hacked.

    I've been noticing a lot of common themes with the Pokemon that have been posted and so I'd just like to remind everyone; if it's too good to be true and it wasn't obtained from a reputable trader, it's hacked! If it has OT ending in .tv, it's hacked. 6 IV event Pokemon? Hacked.

    I'm always happy to do these hack checks, but you can easily weed out the obvious hacks by applying a bit of common sense!

    Hi, I've some Évent pokemons to check with PKHeX (similar in serebii).
    It's possible to send to @firebolt for a hard checking? And if yes how many pkmns can I send?
    Thanks for the answer

    Hi, I've got several g-max pokemons all with the same OT Ash, they all have 6 perfect IV's, lvl 100 and pokerus
    From my experience, these are like the laziest types of hacked Pokemon; OT Ash because they can't come up with something unique, and they just tick all of the boxes for modifications (like 6 IVs and Pokerus). Extremely doubt any of them are even moderately legit. Meowth especially so, considering that it came as an event and would therefore only have 3 guaranteed IVs of an event Pokemon (meaning that someone would have to have done a lot of resets to get 6 IVs, but Occam's Razor would say that it's hacked).

    Pokémon: Zeraora
    Shiny: No
    OT: フウラシティ
    ID: 180713
    Level: 100
    Region of Origin: Alola

    Location Met & Level Met: Can't tell
    Where/how you received it: Got it from someone here via Trade
    Individual Values/Characteristic: 6*31 IVs
    Effort Values: Maxed out Attack and Speed.
    6 IVs is definitely a big red flag for an event Pokemon, plus the nature and EVs seem too convenient for someone to then want to trade away later (especially after using it to defeat the Galar Champion). Sad to say that this is very possibly hacked.

    I can do that! It depends on how many you'd like to have hack checked in total, but if you have a big batch that was all obtained from the same person, then I think it's a pretty safe bet that hack checking a few of them and seeing what they're like will give a very good insight on the whole lot.
