How exactly is that possible? Is there a way for people to get a hold of pokemon that aren't public?

[Crystal Noel]

The name of the OT is exactly the same as one that came up as legit.

Also it has the correct hidden ability. What is up with that?

Hello All,

I'm *pretty* sure I did not hack this pokemon (Hatched Togepi in GEN 4)

https://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=4275625

Just to let you peeps know.

Thanks!

EDIT:

I know the "Hacked / Event Move" refers to Extrasensory,

I'm more concerned of the "Unknown Location" portion

[Kaphotics]

it's hacked.

[theSLAYER]

it's hacked.

Wow that sucks. I was quite sure I hatched it normally.

Anyway thanks for the info, I'll delete it shortly!

Hallo, a have a Electivire from Hoenn (Emerald) of my German White 2.

The Original Trainer Language is German but Pokécheck Found valid English Pal Park trash bytes.

Is It Legal?

Edited May 6, 2013 by TheDoc

[Kaphotics]

There's no trash bytes possible for a totally capped name, so if it was pal parked to an english game it'd be exactly the same as a german game

nothing wrong here

Theres the link. It's an American DW Bulbasaur that read no errors. If I'm not mistaken though, Kanto starters were only given in Japan with DW abilities, Sept, 2010. If someone can correct me that would be cool, actually.

You're right, though the Pokémon is actually legal, because someone could have downloaded it to their game, and waited a year or two before capturing it.

Probably hacked, but technically legal.

Bulbasaur was also given in Korea (but not in US, though).

The LA isn't reading Flatter/Captivate as Level Up Egg moves, it seems. Both NidoranM/F learn both moves by level up.

Mat487: My shiny Dragonite I received from Alder's grandson is a Pokestar, according to Pokecheck, but has never done anything to earn the title and plays the shiny animation when sent out, because it is shiny. What causes this?

https://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=4494544

Says it's a pokestar shiny, but 0x87 = 0x19 (not > 250)

Upon loading up some Pal Parked Pokemon (of which I did about 22+) through an emulator only two pokemon came up with invalid trash bytes. I was able to rectify one of two by simply pal parking them again but no matter how many times I pal park the ONE Pokemon it continues to have invalid trash bytes. Any idea on why this is happening? I haven't altered the Pokemon in any way so I'm at a loss. Hopefully someone can help. I'll provide a link to the Pokemon as well.

Pal Parked Cleffa

[Agonist]

Emulator trash bytes aren't supported afaik.

[Champloo]

Emulator trash bytes aren't supported afaik.

Wouldn't that have affected ALL of the Pokemon I Pal Parked than? I just went ahead and Pal parked the cleffa via DS this time and I got the same issue...

EDIT: I'd like to add that the Clefairy version of this Cleffa doesn't have the invalid trash bytes (I pal parked it over as a clefairy) would this be any indicator to why it may be doing this?

Cleffa & Clefairy Pal Parked Via EMU

[Dark Ray]

Dream Radar Giratina should have its DW ability https://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=4623125

[Champloo]

So I went ahead and Poke Transfer'd the Cleffa that was coming out on the other end with invalid trash bytes on Gen IV and to my surprise it no longer has invalid trash bytes:

Poke Transfer'd Cleffa

Any idea as to why something like this would happen? I'm content with it resolving itself but knowledge is power I suppose so I'm interested on how this may have happened.

You shouldn't be extracting .pkm files if you want things to work properly...

[Kaphotics]

Trash bytes are the result of memory pointers and preexisting strings not being cleared for subsequent use. They just get overwritten and the resulting string constitutes the palparked character-string.

You can read more about them on our wiki; the first Pokemon parked will have one set of trash and 2-6 will have different trash.

Ah thanks for the link and relevant information. Very much appreciated.

[Agonist]

This is hilariously illegal.

Local Wondercards need to be added to the database manually. Until then, they appear hacked.
