WE ARE BACK. To hacked Pokemon of course in Pokemon Sword and Shield the Crown Tundra dlc. After seeing the wildly positive reception to the original hacked Pokemon Video I was inspired to make this video. The main thing that inspired me was the comments left on that video. I had comments ranging from, "Is this Pokemon Hacked" to "Can I get banned for having fake Pokemon" to finally "Who cares if the Pokemon are hacked". So with that, I felt inspired to come foreward and answer those questions with a brand new set of fake, or genned, Pokemon used exclusively to illustrate some of my points.

*NOTE: As a clarification. Legal in this video is defined as 'Tournament Legal'. While you can not legally acquire a Shiny Galarian Zapdos without hacking, you CAN use one in a Tournament*

   • How to check FAKE and HACKED Pokemon ...  

I also wanted to quickly talk about the Galarian Moltres and the joke I was making there. Basically, there is some drama in the Pokemon community right now because a prominent Pokemon Youtuber, Verlisify, called out a very popular, former World Champion, Pokemon player named WolfeyVGC or just Wolfey for short. After watching both the accusation and the rebuttal from Wolfey I can fairly confidently say that neither was right, at least completely. This comes from a slight lack of understanding on both players parts (which is fine, as I dont expect either to be complete experts in hacked Pokemon). Nonetheless, I thought the drama was funny so I had the hacker recreate Wolfey's Moltres to show how easily it could be done. Now in my opinion, knowing what I know, I don't believe any of the Pokemon that Wolfey used in the Players Cup tournament, except potentially Moltres was hacked. If Wolfey could give me access to the Moltres I could say with more certaininty but the main thing that I don't know is whether the Moltres was 6 iv or Hypertrained. Best case scenario the Moltres is Hypertrained and the person who caught it was hunting for no specific mark gives the Moltres a (1/2)*(4/32)*(3/100)= 3/1600 of being real which ISNT UNREASONABLE. For the record the 1/2 is the chance the attack IV wont be one of the 3 perfect IVs, the 4/32 is the chance the attack IV is 0-3 and the 3/100 is the chance to get any "personality mark with the mark charm". Now in the worst case the math is (1/2)*(1/32)*(1/950)*(1/32)*(1/32) = 1/62259200 chance of being real... but this is the absolute worst case in which the trainer was hunting ONLY the angry mark and the Moltres has 6 IVS (5 best and No Good Attack). Likely the real number answer lies somewhere in the middle. But ya if it's worst case it's safe to assume its hacked but if it's best case, it's worth giving benefit of the doubt (past history not considered). FINALLY, and this is important, no matter if it was hacked or not in this particular tournament it is not the reason Wolfey won. He is a very talented player and he won through good team design and careful play. Also, please do not harass either of these YouTubers. What they are both doing at the end of the day is GOOD for Pokemon. Verlisify's goal is to keep competitive Pokemon honest and Wolfey's goal is too help make competitive Pokemon more mainstream and both are important.

tl;dr I need more evidence to say for certain whether Wolfey's Moltres was hacked :) (Also I don't beleive any of his other Pokemon were hacked, having 508 IVs is not enough of an indicator for me).

Also, I stream on YouTube MWF and Sunday from 8:00 PM – 11:00 PM PT, so feel free to stop by when I’m live. Hope to see you there!
