What's to stop someone from hacking a perfect ditto and a perfect whatever and then breeding until they get a perfect or near perfect mon?
The game itself won't allow that.
Parents at best pass on 1-2 stats each and even that isn't 100%. Nature and specific moves are the only guarantees in breeding
Ergo the videogame equivalent of monkeys typing Shakespeare.
The introduction of the +/- colored stats in HeartGold/SoulSilver (where the stats affected by Nature are red for positive, blue for negative) shows this.
While there are a lot of illegal IV spreads for wild Pokemon, I'm not sure if there's a way to tell if a bred Pokemon's IVs have been hacked. Maybe if it's shiny, because I imagine that it'd still be pretty rare to get perfect IV shiny Pokemon even if both parents have perfect IVs as well.
I could be wrong, though.
Butler: I made it through one whole IV bred team once, then swore I wouldn't do it again. My boxes will never be emptied of mankeys and tyrogues.
Hacking devices and emulators were probably used to figure out exactly how they worked, though.
1) only use Basic Pokemon - The pokemon has to have 1-2 evolution steps
2) No Legendary
Just for a change up?
It's usually played at level 5 too, so you have to rely on egg moves and TMs for good movesets.
Wait, you can abuse the RNG, yet you think it's rare to get flawless shiny eggs? How? flawless shinies are a common sight on Smogon and there are even hex-flawless around (those are significantly less common, but they're still there. Some douches even reject Breeding Projects if they don't have 31 in everything despite being being specialized in only one of the attacks).
There was actually one held once. I think it didn't last long but there was probably a winner. I lost horribly, too. It was held late 2007.
Figured I'd ask since we're on the topic of illegitimate pokemon and hacked event mon
So what I'm saying is that it could be possible to check for shiny hacks by checking the date it was obtained and the trainer's secret ID. Just a hunch though, as I haven't worked out the probabilities on any of this at all.
The thing with Kingdra is that it's stats aren't specialised, and they're not that much lower than say, Mew or Shaymin or whatever. The lower Speed is negated by Swift Swim, and given that it has 95 in Atk/Def/SpAtk/SpDef, you never know what it's going to be built for - it can do bulk, sweeper... and with that typing, yeah.
Also, the improvements to its moveset were great. It has a very strong presence in Smogon's OU now.
But yeah, Palkia is better.

I've been out of the Pokeloop for a while, is there a way to pass nature other than an everstoned Ditto? If not, then wouldn't nature and move inheritance be mutually exclusive?
Steam: pazython
Shininess on eggs can be forced in DPPt (in HGSS, too, apparently, but I don't know the specifics) by abusing the RNG and doing a specific amount of taps and coin flips. It will make the egg come with the exact nature, ability, gender and shininess or not that you chose when you determined your seed. So shiny eggs are actually the easiest thing to do when you abuse the RNG, provided you have international parents. If you don't, it's still possible, but it will take many more taps.
Hex-flawless?
Six 31s.
FFFFFFFF
Wait, why is it "FFFFFFFF" that a mon has perfect IVs in all but one stat?
Bad Eggs can pop up randomly in that gen especially if you trade alot or if the game itself has trouble reading certain data due to a dirt build up or what have you. I had a gameshark almost exclusively to get rid of them.
It's Quiet, so that 31 in speed is useless and if that 5-7 in defense had swapped places with speed, it would have been ideal.
Really? I'm guessing they fixed that in FRLG and Emerald.

sleep forever if you wish to be a dreamer
It's an easy to get shiny, and it has Endure and Endeavor which Pichu wouldn't normally know. (A FEAP?) The HGSS event just has the unique Pain Split.
