How to tell if a Pokémon is hacked in Sword and Shield
- Thread starter Daily-Esports

I saw this guy called AuSlove.TV and he hosted 6 iv shiny raids and when i saw they were hacked i released them.
That's a lie with mewtwo you can transfer it from pokemon go and pokemon lets go to pokemon home and then from there to pokemon sword and shield
What about the gts? I need only a slowking to complete my isle of Armor Pokédex, and I came across a shiny on the gts. They want a poliwrath lvl 91-100, so it dosn’t look too sus. But I still have my doubts it was obtained legitimately.
Yep just got a level 100 pink wabufet in a surprise trade. Checked it's moves to remember and it was splash carm amnesia and safeguard. Honestly I'd rather breed my own shinies with mitsuda methods and battles then recieve a fake. I'd assume wabufet would actually have other remember moves and splash being unlikely to be one.
In pokemon there’s genned and hacked mons. Genned mons are basically mons that are legit but was generated using a software. For hacked mons, they’re generated as well but they have illegal moves,illegal abilities, illegal pokeballs, or illegal shinies (mons that are shiny locked)
if you see a shiny pokemon with it's original trainer as Machamp.com or some weird name with periods in their name tje pokemon is probably fake even if it works in the max raid battles like Machamp.com's pokemon do.

This is so wrong I mean you can get a Mewtwo in your game by using pokemon home like wtf dailyesports
umm I got a level 100 shiny sandslash in pokemon sword is that not aloud it is called gengars.com
Unfortunately it's not that simple to determine whether a Pokemon is hacked. With the addition of bottle caps, a trainer looking to make a competitive Pokemon (especially one that is shiny, which would unlikely be caught at perfect IVs) is required to get it to lvl 100 to make use of bottle caps to alter the IVs.
Hi! I don't play sword of shield but I don't know if anyone is still here but. Remember pokemon ultra moon? and sun. I recently did a wonder trade and recieved a shiny moeletta, and now Im kinda worried that it might be hacked. :-:
When I do get a hacked pokemon in the game, I don't release it right away, but i try to safe to get a good real shiny. 
Also just got a shiny Blacephalon with very good speed and attack and with 4 markings in trade, but cant tell if hacked. Im concerned because the original trainer's name is cutt.ly/ldps and is lvl 100 but it says it comes from the max lair. What yall guys think?
