    6 IVs and perfect Nature, I'd be super sketchy of it. I'm not exactly sure how the IV stuff is calculated when transferred from Go to Home, but when something seems too good to be true...

    You're half-right! SK33N.TV is 100% hacked, but shiny Darkrai can definitely exist thanks to the Oak Letter event; the only legit shiny Darkrai that exist are ones from Platinum (and ONLY Platinum, as the event was never released for Diamond and Pearl).

    Zigzagoon may have been bred and it just happened to be shiny, but depending on the rarity of the Apriballs and/or how much the OT wanted it (or rather, didn't want it) should be used as an indicator of whether it's legit.

    As for Zamazenta, it's very suss that it has 6 IVs but a Docile nature... Not sure about the insight behind that one, but leaning towards hacked (IVs at least) unless there's an RNG method or something I'm unaware of.

    Basically, any event Pokemon with 6 IVs that wasn't obtained from a reputable RNG abuser at minimum can safely be considered a hack. I even found an eBay page selling a 6IV Careful Jirachi while I was trying to retrieve information on the event itself.

    Nothing fishy here! GMax Pokemon are pretty great in that you can get them with at least 4 max IVs, so a 5 IV one isn't so strange at all, and the capture date matches the actual Raid event too. Unless the hacker was modest and didn't bother making it shiny or 6 IVs, this seems like a perfectly fine Toxtricity.

    Is the OT Pスクラップ ? If so, it looks like the Play! 2016 Mewtwo, but the IVs is definitely very, very suspicious. I'd lean towards hacked, or cloned at least.

    I'm inclined to be skeptical of this one. I know for certain that a Wonder Card injected with PowerSaves gives a result that's pretty similar to this. That is, if you insert a Japanese (or any foreign event for that matter) into your normal English cart, then the Pokemon will have an English name. There is always the possibility of course that the Japanese player was playing their game in English, which would result in a Japanese Pokemon but with an English name, but...the simplest explanation is usually the most likely, no?

    Shinyhunter is a pretty infamous hacker. It's also a common OT, but it's easy to assume that this was obtained from one of Shinyhunter.TV's giveaways.
