As far as I am concerned, the lack of a red triangle or the existence of a green check mark simply means "the pokemon is valid as far as we know". I don't think the creators and collaborators of PKHeX can account for every aspect of legality checking, especially whatever happens server-side. Over time, things that previously "looked good" to PKHeX got flagged in newer versions of the program, as the understanding of pokemon legality improved. I fully expect my "clean" save file from Scarlet to look completely hacked a year or two from now as PKHeX improves, that's just the way it goes. In the end, there's only one way to guarantee you won't get disqualified / banned for hacked pokemon: Don't illegally modify your save file if you intend to compete or play online. Aside from the fact that this is just good sportsmanship in general, it's the only surefire way to ensure you will pass all present and future legality checks. I wish I could say I am surprised about all of the disqualifications, but I am not. It is no longer a secret that the top VGC circuit is full of known and confirmed cheaters. Don't be that person.
