I have made this topic to help everyone identify hacked pokemon. Recently it has become a huge epidemic and a huge topic in this forum. These are a few helpful tips that I have found from numerous sites that I believe will help everyone out. Hopefully this topic has not already been thoroughly explained or stickied. I truely hope this is acceptable and HELPS everyone out. I have invested A LOT OF WORK into this and it would be a shame to see it be wasted. This is in no way Sponsored by Psypokes, that fact I have many links to this site is that it has the best information.
Again if this is Inappropriate either in this specific forum or has all ready been posted I am truely sorry I am just trying to help all the people with questions.
If anything is wrong or you have info I have not added please feel free to post an I will be more than happy to add the info. I am always looking for more helpful info such as Legendary locations like the birds in RBY and such.
All of the Pokemon have Links embeded in them for easy access to see their stats and movesets.

1) Helpful Tips To Identify Hacked Pokemon
These are a few Tips I have found very useful to use when identifying if a Pokemon is Hacked or not.
Max IVs: It’s a very rare chance to get a Pokemon with max IVs. Even more rarer to get a shiny one with 31 IVs in all stats.
Here is a DV calculator which will help you find the IVs in a pokemon, the only problem is if you dont reduce all of its EVs it wont work. If it’s all the same number like 30/31 or even 0, then it’s hacked. Before trading, ask the person to tell you the stats and if nessecary, tell them to reduce it's EVs or tell the EV spread. Then use the calculator properly and check it's IVs. I've seen this pretty popular with hacked shinies...
Max EVs: If a Pokemon has more than 255 EVs into one stat or more than 510 total EVs, then it’s hacked. Again, use the EV reducing berries to take out 10 EVs per berry and count up your pokemon’s EVs.
Here is another link to the calculator to help figure it out.
Max Sheen or Condition: A Pokemon can’t have all 5 conditions maxed out, only about 2 or 3 based on my experiences. So if the condition is maxed on all 5 qualities, it's hacked.
Illegal Moves: Any Pokemon knowing impossible moves is hacked. Also, having some impossible combinations of egg moves may also indicate that a pokemon is hacked. Just research the pokemon on your own to see if it can't have two or more certain egg moves at once.
Illegal Ball: Certain Pokemon like all starters (except for Johto starters from Distant Land), fossils, Riolu, Eevee (except from D/P), Celebi, and Jirachi may only be caught in pokeballs. If they are caught in any other ball, then they are hacked.
Illegal Location: Check a pokemon’s location (search online) and see if they can be caught or in some cases hatched in that region. Pokemon like Mewtwo may only come from Kanto, Rayquaza are from Hoenn, and Palkia are from Spear Pillar. However, any hatched Pokemon may be obtained anywhere but must be in a pokeball.
Suspicious ID/OT: Anything with an ID no. of 00000 is automatically hacked. There may be some weird number orders but I've gotten 32323 and 04001 before in my games so it might just be weird luck. Also, based on my experiences, I don't trust anything with the OT of "Tumbly", "Mostafa", "AAAAAAA" or "Zero" but that's just me since I recognize the names from elsewhere.
Suspicious Traders: Before trading with anyone, I highly suggest doing a "background check" on the person and see where and how he/she posts. If it's a new member, you shouldn't take the risk until you can actually see how the person acts like before trading your pokemon first. Don’t stereotype like that all the time because some newbies may be more honest than the veterans here XD *slapped*) If you are asking someone to clone your pokemon, always ask for collateral or an equal pokemon in return. If you do get scammed, report the thread/screenshot the PM and contact a staff member. Any false accusations could cost you your arm though so please don’t lie and make up stories.
Special Pichu/Pikachu: There is no such thing as a Surfing Pichu or Flying Pikachu since the ones obtained from previous events need to have their HM removed in order to migrate to D/P. The only Surfing Pikachu is obtained in a pokeball from Pokemon Battle Revolution and met at “Lovely Place” and “Apparently had a fateful encounter at level 10.

2.1) DP Event Pokemon - There is no way any American DP event pokemon is legit, the event and glitch only cover the Japanese versions.
Darkrai - ND 491
1) Japanese, level 40+, ID no: Original owner, OT: Original owner, in original ball, E4 Surf Glitch used and met in “Newmoon Island”
2) Japanese, level 50+, ID no: 07147, OT: Eigakan/Movie Theater, in cherish ball, has classic ribbon, given away at Japanese Movie Event, may know Roar of Time and/or Spacial Rend
FAKES: Anything claiming to be from the Glitch but nicknamed in its English name is hacked. You cannot nickname the Pokemon more that 5 letters in the Japanese versions of D/P. So you can’t have a Glitch Darkrai nicknamed “DARKRAI” unless it's caught in the English version and the item has not been released yet. Also anything that does not have the proper location.
Shaymin - ND 492
1) Japanese, level 30+, ID no: Original owner, OT: Original owner, in original ball, E4 Surf Glitch used and met in “Flower Paradise”
FAKES: Anything claiming to be from the Glitch but nicknamed in its English name is hacked. You cannot nickname the Pokemon more that 5 letters in the Japanese versions of D/P. So you can’t have a Glitch Shaymin nicknamed “SHAYMIN” unless it's caught in the English version and the item has not been released yet. Also anything that does not have the proper location.
Arceus - ND 493
ALL Arceus are FAKE, there is neither a Japanese or an American Event that has happened releasing the item to legitly catch a Arceus. DO NOT ARgUE that you have a LEGIT one, there is NO WAY it is legit.
3) Hacker Programs and Hardware
PokeSav
PokeSav is a total hacker program. It works in coordination with Action Replay (AR) to make generated codes that will literallly overwrite anything in your game. You can change your name, rivals name, money, BT score, contest score, as well as virtually every aspect of a single Pokemon.
Before you could tell if a Poke was hacked due to its location and such as listed above, but PokeSav can quite literally edit anything about a pokemon. Its IVs, Location, Moveset, Item, and Contests not to mention much much more.
Transfers
It SHOULD say what level it was transferred over from. So if you transferred over a LV87 Magikarp that you caught and raised in FireRed, it would say:
"Kanto
Arrived at LV87."
It would NOT say:
"Kanto/Hoenn
(Apparently) Met at LV87"
Or anything else for that matter.
Action Replay
Action replay is a piece of hardware that acts a DS card, it allows you to simultaneously have your DS card in it and be hooked to the computer. What it does is connect AR to the computer, you puts codes onto the AR which then allow you to activate them and start your DS game. Once done it overwrites Saved data enabling you to "hack" your game. In coordination with PokeSav it allows you to go further and Edit Pokemon. This can Crash your game, which is what those darn hackers deserve.
Game Sharks
Game sharks are like the father of cheats, but are virtually extinct now. AR has taken its place on most new gen consoles but for the old ones such as GB and GBA gamesharks are the best. They are the best at what they do on the old consoles as well and are the exact same thing as Action Replay.

If I have forgotten anyone I am truely sorry and PM me I will add you right away.
Thank you again for everyone who helped here, and I hope this helps people out to keep their game clean.
Do not PM me for the locations of the programs or the hardware, I truely have neither of the 2 components need to hack. I know so much from exactly what I posted here and am not a cheater. I simply found all of this info by surfing the web, it took roughly an hour and a half to get the info and 2 hours to write everything so it was a lot of work to do this.
Thank You ALL - ClassicK
