Beta: the pokécheck legality checker for generation 5

[Dark Ray]

Minor thing.

Arceus holding a Zap Plate shows up as Psychic form in the 4th gen. http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=1431054 http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=1431567 (HoO Arceus used so I could actually upload them through the GTS).

I have not tried other plates so I don't know if they show up properly.

Zap Plate Arceus shows up correctly on the 5th gen though. http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=1431616

what does it mean if there is: Unknown GBA PID and why does it sometimes say: Unknown Location?

And why do i get this error: Error 13267 when trying to upload Shaymin Landforme with legal teached Earthpower from G4 SS Movetutor? and same on a Darkrai not editet or suited with moves other than the ones he comes with?

[Waitress_Tsubame]

I have a Rotom from PGL uploaded in Pokecheck, but before uploading it I changed its forme and nickname.

Why does it have any red text? I didn't hack that one...

http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=1432111

It says Invalid Trash Bytes & Unknown Dream World Pokémon

She said she uploaded the Rotom in normal form and when I checked it looked fine. The appliance form did not.

hacks, they don't even pass the GTS's check.

I have a Celebi and Jirachi that are for sure hacks, but made it through the legality check clean.

Celebi: http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=1433729

Jirachi:http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=1433728

[xfr]

Both are flagged as illegal because of bad encounter

[OldBreed4816]

Oh. My bad. This is my first time pokechecking. I didnt notice that.

[BeUndead]

Pokémon for which I have performed the following show up as "Missing HGSS hatch trash bytes"...

- I hatched the Poke, and selected No Nickname (as some people don't like a nickname for their pokes, and most of these were trading fodder).

- I then nicknamed the Poke for my own usage with whatever name I so chose at the time.

Also, all my Pokémon's Pokérus came from the same strain (off of a traded Poke), and yet half of them appear as "default strain", and half as "hacked or from hacked Pokémon".

[Kaphotics]

Trash bytes are overwritten when you rename, so there is no problem there

Pokerus strain 0 is a hacked strain; when cured it becomes strain 1. So your currently infected have the hacked strain, while the cured ones have the default strain.

I suggest you discard all of the currently infected ones as they are only spreading a hacked strain!

hacks, they don't even pass the GTS's check.

seems to be funny as i can go Wi-fi with these and even gts is no problem?!

I guess that Shaymin and Darkrai were false Positives, because even the ones obtained legaly from Legal event items put the 13267 Error, so it seems that both were either not designed for the GTS or pokechek needs to be fixed in this case...

no, 13267 is the game refusing to upload it, not Pokecheck refusing to accept it.

They could have ribbons or just something wrong like a missing fateful encounter; again it is not Pokecheck refusing.

Done and done, thanks for the info.

A false negative(? unless I misunderstood the trash bytes), and possible slight problem with part of the system:

CHANSEY from Gen III (Emerald) brought through using the Upload Gen IV Poke as Gen V Poke option, has trash bytes for original name HAPPINY, who didn't exist in Gen III (i.e. that wasn't the original name).

Also, same Chansey, nicknamed and mimic glitched for Wish, comes up as "Event only move" (which is half right I suppose).

[Kaphotics]

In general, please post links, even if they are private (we can see them).

Trash bytes are just an example check; it is one possibility, but not always the origin.

Mimic glitched moves are not legal. Gen 3 events aren't checked thoroughly as it's pretty trivial; if they are battle legal -- meh

i want to know why this site says my joltik is Rng abused....had the same problem with my nidoran(m) last time.

joltik4 http://www.pokecheck.org/?screenshot=1436617&la

Joltik5 is the one with the issue.

hope it serves as reference. you will find the 5 above in that list.

► IVs This Pokémon is likely edited or RNG abused.

RNG Abuse is not illegal; the reason this message appears is that you have 5 stats >=30. Key word: LIKELY!

thanks, but it bothers me for pokecheck to say that my pokemon is Likely RNG abused

still, thanks for your help.

[Kaphotics]

Most of the time, Pokemon with near-perfect IVs are either hacked or RNG abused. Since this isn't always the case, it's depicted as a warning which is nothing to worry about. Everything is still legal.

Be proud that your breed came out great!

sorry for my English

I have seen an error in the upon becoming of the Eevee VGC10, the Eevee is totally legitimate downloaded to my game from the mysterious cards, when entering the data to the Pokecheck from the mysterious cards to evolve the Eevee changes its ability, my question is are you can modify the data of the Pokecheck order for this not to happen and I arrived to confuse some users

Thanks

http://www.pokecheck.org/?screenshot=1438014&la Flareon

He visto un error en las evos del Eevee VGC10, el Eevee es totalmente legitimo descargado a mi juego desde la tarjetas misteriosas, al meter los datos al Pokecheck desde las tarjetas misteriosa al evolucionar al Eevee cambia su Habilidad, mi pregunta es se puede modificar los datos del Pokecheck para que esto no ocurra y llegue a confundir a algunos usuarios

Gracias

Hola senôr,

could it be, that this event eevee is not meant to evolve into some of its eeveeloutions? maybe you could tell us where and how you started the evolution to a flareon because Flash Fire is its legit ability that it becomes after the evolution took place!

[Agonist]

I'm guessing it's because Eevee has two abilities, Run Away, and Adapability. However, its evolutions only have one ability.

Helping Hand shows up as hacked, but the move tutor taught it to him just fine

[Kaphotics]

Bulbapedia and Veekun note that Toxicroak can learn Helping Hand by tutor, while Croagunk cannot.

if what you say is true, then those ^ pages are wrong (upokecenter and legendarypokemon say Helping Hand CAN be tutored to Croagunk)

[dcrispell7]

not sure if this helps or not, but i downloaded Bond's Crogunk (http://www.pokecheck.org/?pk=702495 i think that's his anyway) and took it to the move tutor. I was wondering if maybe there was an error when i RNGed my Crogunk, but the move tutor still showed helping hand as an option. I know there are a few websites that dont list helping hand but do list Magic Coat (what i wanted to begin with) but i think they have it backwards since helping hand is teachable and magic Coat is not. I had the same problem with another pokemon too, a Latios i think it was (i wanted Magic Coat and they offered Helping Hand).

Suicune from Pokémon Colosseum has Hydro Pump when purified. It is obtainable at level 40, while Suicune normally learns Hydro Pump at level 71 across all gens.

Edit: Bulbapedia mistakenly lists Surf as a purification move instead of Hydro Pump, while Veekun and Serebi do not list the purification moves at all. If further proof is required let me know.

Edit 2: It turns out that it only gets Hydro Pump if it was captured in Deep Colosseum. It has Surf on the first encounter. The second encounter in Realgam Tower isn't known as I don't have the time to test this right at this moment.
