Beta: the pokécheck legality checker for generation 5

[Kaphotics]

I uploaded this Flying Pikachu i got from my Pokéwalker and it's showing Fly as an hacked move:

http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=1069993

Hacked / Event only (19)

It also says it's an event move; which it is. The only reason certain events are recognized is because we have the wondercards to check against. If it is not normally obtainable in the handheld DS/GBA/GC series then it is not accounted for and is up to the user to check themselves.

Creating an event moveset table is extremely time consuming, this time is much better spent elsewhere.

I'm having some event pokemon IV to V Pokecheck generation, and is perfect, until I spent a Pikachu with Surf, the Pokecheck not cancel that movement.

Could be fixed that little mistake

Thanks

Estoy pasando unos pokemon de evento de IV a V generación por Pokecheck, y va todo perfecto, hasta que he pasado un Pikachu con Surf, el Pokecheck no anula ese movimiento.

Podría arreglarse ese pequeño error

Gracias

PokeCheck doesn't remove moves for you. When you do the transfer though, it does warn you that to be legal, all HMs should be deleted.

generated (unrestricted) PIDIVs aren't being caught if the pokemon is from a gen 4 wondercard. chance of this happening ~ 0

example of something passing that shouldn't

http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=804147

this is what the PIDIV should be recognized as -- this thing doesn't have the right PID type anyways

I have noticed something odd with my Excadrill. As a Drilbur infected with pokerus I get a type 1.2 strain. http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=1390389

As an Excadrill with cured pokerus the checker says it's a default strain. http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=1390284

In your case you have strain 1 with 2 days duration on your Drilbur -- when it is cured it turns to 1.0, default=strain1.

Strain duration is determined as strain%4+1... 1%4+1=2, so it's a typical gen 5 infection, however strain 1 is just the default strain that AR codes/sav editors use. Light Orange messages are just cautions, not implying something is illegal.

My scyther's 3rd move says hacked/event only however it can be learned via egg.

My scyther's 3rd move says hacked/event only however it can be learned via egg.

Scyther has PIDIV of a wild Pokemon, thus it wasn't from an egg. Hack getting flagged as a hack; working as intended.

The Legality Analysis is implying this nidoran (m) was Rng abused. http://i.imgur.com/Jo7oP.png

when i clearly got this nidoran (f) the same day, with the same method http://i.imgur.com/Uf2XK.png

[Kaphotics]

The IV total is on the nidoran-m is very very close to flawless (5 stats >=30), however the female has a few imperfect stats.

The "is likely edited or RNG abused" only appears when there are multiple flawless stats. There is no way to tell a lucky soft reset from a RNG/edit. "Likely" != what happened, which is the case for you

Hey Admins, I just noticed that Pokecheck claims my Braviary is hacked (Unknown Encounter). It's one of my earlier uploads (My first Wild RNG actually), and used to be valid in the LA until just recently. Can you guys check it out for me?

http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=969116

[Zelen]

I have same problem as Xeno with my poor Haxorus.

http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=1352626

This guy was RNG abused before Standard Seeds were discovered and we had only CGear seeds. I think I did use a synchronizer but still it took almost 2 weeks to get it because there wasn't any way to control PID.

[pman1117]

No matter what pid combinations i used for my shiny deino the legality checker always says my deino's pid is invalid also the terminator sequence in trash bytes also says that they are invalid please look up my problem and fix it right away!!!!

[Kaphotics]

pman1117, this thread is not to figure out why you can't pass the legality check -- it's to report things that are improperly reported illegal.

To the two above posters with evolved Pokemon failing:

A recent change in the LA is making it come up hacked. They are legal (and legitimate) encounters, and it should be eventually fixed.

-- for the record, Zelen's pre-Evolved Haxorus as an Axew, which passes (currently private).

hey admins I just RNG'd an Electrode in Rocket Hideout (Mahogany Town) on HeartGold and its showing ► Locations Unknown encounter. Not sure if you are already aware of this but hope you take a look into it for me please many thanks

http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=1411244

[Kaphotics]

not your problem, but the location should say Team Rocket HQ instead of Rocket Hideout (hideout is the japanese translation)

transmitter room electrode, false positive yes. (stationary pokemon, method 1/K)

[evo2587]

ah it could be as i dumped my save from retail for my flashcart. il import my save back onto retail and reupload to see what that says Thanks again though

[Kaphotics]

no it's nothing wrong with yours, it's something I'm noting for a "wrong displayed location" error. your poke is fine

[xfr]

I fixed that

[Localhorst]

http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=1424703 is legit, Wynauts DW ability is availiable (breeding Wobbuffets with that Lax item).

[Hozu]

Is it even possible for Zen Mode Darmanitan to be legitimately uploaded to the GTS while in Zen Mode? If not http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=1380227 and all other Darmanitans currently in Zen Mode form should be labelled hacked.

[Kaphotics]

Local: Judging from the fact that it is now deleted indicates that it was a hack trying to pass off as legit. While I can't know if it was your hack, please take the time to make sure that the upload is indeed legitimate.

Hozu: I'm pretty sure the party data portion of the Darmanitan is stripped away whilst the forme data stays when it is uploaded. That's at least how a .pkm upload would work.

I'd rather not give a definitive answer on that as it is just an educated guess... could someone could try to upload an active Zen one in-game?

[Localhorst]

@Kaphotics: I deleted it because the false positive was fixed. When I saw an uploaded DW-ability Wynaut, I asked in the shoutbox if somebody knew why its DW ability is considered as unreleased, then I bred a DW Wynaut by myself just to check. That was the one I linked. It still was flagged as unreleased DW ability, I wrote that to the shoutbox and came here to report it. A few minutes later, i checked the LA again and it was fixed (i wrote "that's what I call quick bugfixing, lol" in the shoutbox), so I deleted the Wynaut.

While I'm here, it isnt really a false positive, but the Pokecheck-Event Deoxys (mine: http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=1429101) is missing a "c" in Pokécheck in (WC #0: Pokéche_k 200k Unofficial Event), and the phrase "This event has a nickname (ID abuse or hacked)" isn't correct since that Event came with that nickname. No big deal, but I'm just telling.

[Kaphotics]

ah ok

Give me a sec to test this out. I haven't captured any ZM Darmanitan yet.

Edit: ZM Darmanitan uploaded by GTS reverts to normal. When I left the GTS all my Pokémon were fully healed. Checking by .pkm shortly.

Edit 2: ZM Darminatan currently in ZM when uploaded by .pkm (saved as 220 byte party .pkm) still shows up in normal form. Thus all Darmanitan in ZM form should be classified as hacks.

Edit 3: DERP I'm an idiot. ZM doesn't last outside of battle even if it's under half HP. So yeah, all hacked.
