Special Pokémon such as Mew, Celebi and Victini can be sent to the GTS. At least in Generation V you could do that, but I haven't tried it in Sun and Moon yet.

I've been trying and so far Darkrai is the only mythical I can send. Others just don't appear, and it's not like people would snipe these requests, I tried myself, depositing an Arceus, nobody bit after 10 minutes, very suspect.

Hmm... turns out they changed it so that special Pokémon can no longer be sent to the GTS. Surprisingly enough, not only is Marshadow not considered a special Pokémon, but it can be sent to the GTS as long as its met location is "an online friend". Link Trade and Wonder Trade reject it regardless, though. Sorry to be off-topic.

Very interesting, I wonder if that qualifies for other pokemon, having that met location.

The Pokémon Company has spoken about the fact that Mega Stones for various Pokémon are not currently available. Giving an explanation, it then went on to say that the Mawilinite and Beedrillite will be distributed through an entry gift for an Online Competition in late February. It is stated that the other missing Mega Stones will be distributed through similar means as time passes

Jesus Christ...it's topical because banned players who can't unban themselves are screwed over even more.

Funny thing is, the majority of those who got themselves banned were actually those who modified in-game saves data related to the single-player experience like trainer appearance, gender, items and so on. Those who modified or created rare Pokes (at least modestly) have largely been getting off scot-free for like eons now and they still do in-fact since there like thousands of hacked Pokes you can receive just by trading online and used in battle competitively.

This is more of a case with people tampering with data that is easily traceable by the developer more than anything. Again, if you want to cheat and make it noticeable especially when going online than prepare to get your profile flagged sooner or later.

What I did:

- Change TID & SID.
- Create 3 perfect Alolan starter pokémon and make them mine so they will obey no matter their level.
- Drag & drop a shiny Mewtwo holding a mega stone, was legal in my Pokémon Y save, made it mine to obey.
- Create a shiny Marshadow out of a legal event pokémon in Gen VI, everything good except PKHex said it couldn't find a corresponding event, made it mine.
- Set the values for all items in the medicine, items & berry tabs to 900.
- Set the values for all the Technical Machines & Z Crystals to 1.
- Pushed the complete Dex option inside the Pokédex window, aka full National Pokédex.
- Pushed the button to have all clothes and accessories.

Notes:

████ = Should be safe to do, Power Saves Pro can do it.

████ = Might be cause of ban.

████ = Probably the cause of ban.

In my opinion this is how you should have colored.
Source: I got banned because of the shiny dex entries, someone in the first pages said he/she got all clothes and didn't get banned.

I hope they ban everyone for cheating, and continue to hammer down on cheats. It's pokemon play it legit. Yes i know i am on hacking forum, but cheats have nothing to do with what i am on this website for. cheaters ruin the online experience and make me and others not care to play anymore.

How will they affect those who don't use Game Sync?

They basically can't, since Game Sync's the only way they can peer into a save on account of the user uploading it. I didn't think too much about it, but with the remaining mega stones being gifted, once the gift date comes, the banned players with access to the hacking tools, can just generate those stones.

Hope for the best, expect the worst. They posted an English translation, if anyone cares.



Somehow this made me understand the ban more. I think having unreleased and unavailable pokemon would qualify as one reason, changing gender and OT/TID/SID would be another. As far as genned pokemon, that's really nothing because if you imagine it in the legit world, it's getting them from a trade, or you're just super lucky with the capture and breeding and you were hardcore EV training (which can take less than 30 minutes). I'm curious too about Dittos. In my experience you cannot legally have a 5-6IV Ditto, I tried to chain for one, 700 Ditto chain, not one 5-6IV Ditto appeared. In ORAS I'd say it's possible because the max stars is 3 for DexNav chaining, but I caught 4IV ones. Of course, not just Ditto, any chained pokemon can't be caught at 5-6IV. Just a theory on that.

Incidentally the game I do a bulk of requests and tested out Marshadow for a bit (removed it right after) never set up Game Sync. Really though, the bright side is that it's only GL activities, you can still trade and do free battles and such. If the Ratings Battle and Online Competitions ban bothers you, search for some leagues to sign up on. I hope nobody blames PKHex for this.

Theorically, you can have a 5-6IV Ditto in Sun/Moon.

The chain mechanism give you 4 IV afters 40 chains. The two other IVs are random. As IVs values are 0-31, it mean you have a probability of 1/32 to get a 5IV Ditto after 40 chains, and so a probability of 1/204 to get a 6IV Ditto (1/32 for the fifth IV, and after that, again 1/32 to get the sixth IV, (1/32) x (1/32) = 1/1024.

Doing more than 40 chains is completely useless, so rather than doing a 700IV chain, you should have better do 17 chaines of 41 Ditto and you would probably got a 5IV Ditto, or even maybe a 6IV Ditto (1/1024 might seem a low probability but it's basically less than a wild shiny encounter with the chroma charm).

Why do you care if other people cheat? Live and let live!
It's not like cheaters are ruining your experience

(I'm talking about people who use pkhex to get legit mons, not people who change pokémon stats mid tournaments)

It's after 30 chains the 4IV pokemon pop up. I'm still not convinced that it's possible, even before the 700 chain, I had hit 30-100 multiple times without encountering a 5-6IV Ditto. Even with the 700 chain, it felt like I was encountering every possible 4 IV set. Trying it again at this point isn't worth time. With a breeding bot and catching another 4IV parent, it doesn't take long to hit 5-6IV for the offspring. Plus now with Bank, I have a slew of male parents that cover all the egg groups. Basically, the need for a 5-6IV Ditto is pretty low. Even before Bank I was already setting up male 6IV parents, one for each egg group. And apparently there's an egg RNG method too, which I don't know the details about, but yeah, Ditto's almost the last thing in my mind.

It can be pretty long. To get a Landorus in the previous game with 5 IVs, it took me a long time. 3IVs at max, so 4IVs => 1/32, 5IVs => 1/1024, 6IVs => 1/32768.

But it's definitively possible.

However, it's just probabilities. It's not because it's 1/1024 that someone will get one for sure after 1024 encounters.

Some people got a Shiny Mewtwo (Gen 4) after a few resets when it took me 3663 resets.

But hackers can find shiny locks in the game data, so if Ditto IVs were locked to 4IVs, they would also have found it.

I'm not saying a Ditto 5/6 IVs is still pretty useful, you can do near the same with two 4IVs Ditto which have different maxed IVs, but I'm just saying a 5-6IVs Ditto can be found in the game if you search enough time for it.
