Legit Pokemon verification in Pokemon X/Y?

Im looking for a way to verify a Pokemon’s legitimacy since I try to never ever use hacked Pokemon. do any of you know of a way to check if my Pokemon are legit other than the not hack-proof GTS and Wonder Trade? thanks.

The most common ways are:

Check to see where it was caught.If this seems awry, then its probably a hacked Pokemon. To double check which Pokemon are found where, Serebii.net has a tool which shows all of the Pokemon worlds in detail.

Check its level:If a certain Pokemon was met at a level higher/lower than it should be (such as a Palkia/Dialga met at a level that is NOT 47), then its hacked.

Go to Smogon.com, and check the Pokemon out there. It will list what the maximums/minimums can be at level 100, which is very handy if you also have an IV calc/natures matchup chart.*

Other than that, its just common sense, ie moves not normally learned, stats CLEARLY wrong (ie 999) and LV 100 Shiny Pokerus Master Ball holding etc. are also generally the creation of hackers.

Hope I helped!!

I will be answering this in a series of answers.

A:)In Pokemon X/Y series, a blue pentagon can be seen next to your Pokémon(’s) while viewing the status screen in trades, the box, and so on. It was initially unclear what it was intended for, but it’s hack checkable.

Game Freak included the pentagon to be a ‘‘hack checker’’ of sorts. Pokemon who have the ‘‘pentagon’’ are confirmed to be legitimate. If the Pokemon doesn’t have the blue icon, that means there was an error and it has been hacked.

Pokémon pentagon’s shouldn’t be a ‘‘put off '’ sign for using them as others are legit but also used (e.g from other game genres) and if stats/natures/movesets including ID and OT off of black2white2 are seemed legit then there’s no real way of finding a viable source of info on the subject.

Example:-

This Pokemon has been hacked and aslong as you include it’s movesets, nature and ability within a cherish ball (event ball) then it’s seem as legit, which is my point…

B:)A good way to test is to put it through the GTS.

C:)Pokémon x/y poke bank is a Pokemon legitemency checker. Simply go to e-shop on Nintendo store and purchase the poke bank (depending on what country you live in couherses with the currency they require for payment)
