I know it. In my opinion these Pokémon are hacked 'cause their PIDs are static. I think they should have a dynamic PID, so these Wondercards don't behave as the originals. You know what i'm saying.

Okay, I think I get it now; if I actually took the time to go to Japan and get the Diancie Wonder Card, it would be 100% legitimate. But since I used Powersave to acquire it, it's... just legal. Thanks.
One more question: if I used Powersave to catch Xerneas over & over again, or get more Celebi without paying $5 each, are those considered legit?
That's just abusing save backups, which still needs to be stated. Kind of like the rebattle code (that we don't have this gen).
As for Celebi, that's a timed event and it already ended so unless you had a save with it obtained from bank and sitting in Pokemon Link you're SOL.
So, they're just legal?
No, it's still going until September 30. When my pre-owned game bricked, I actually made a new account on my other 3DS & paid $5 just so I could get more again on my X game. It's the 30 day trial that ended.
I don't do time correctly, but yeah, that.
The rest still applies and they're legal, yes, but that's a gray area and I'm not going to sit here and go over semantics.
[They can be traded so long as you state it.]
If this is true then why do we allow them to be traded here? I think the forum should be cleansed of them.
If that were true then we'd have to cleanse all static PID events, that's his opinion on the matter.
Which includes a lot of previous gen events.
This thread is for checking and confirming hacks, not for debating legality of what should be allowed to be traded on the site.
We can't set parameters on this gen? Why allow gen 6 static PID events if they are so easily accessible? I don't see the people trading them actually taking the time to find out if they are power saved or listing that they are. They're cheap.
I will fix this immediately. Thanks.
Powersaves WCs have static PID, only because nobody can extract the original WC from the original game's .sav now. For example: PP.org WCs have random PIDs.
In the old gens, they are able to extract original WCs from the games.
So doesn't that solidify the anti-power saved wonder card argument?
These events reach us through Japanese players anyway. It's likely to reach many smogon users. Why kill the excitement with these cheap powersaved pokemon?
I don't know. I'm against too.
That's very interesting if it's true; I don't have the means to verify it myself. Heh... so much amusement potential here.
I saw that message on reddit, i thought that they have tested that as they put it as announcement.
Wondercards can be extracted from the game. I extracted the GAME Charizard event. :)
Just checked this:
• Inject Diancie wondercard.
• Backup Save [A].
• Receive Diancie #1, store on Bank.
• Revert to Save [A].
• Collect Diancie #1 from Bank.
• Receive Diancie #2.
• Check PIDs.
• Backup Save [A].
• Receive Diancie #1, store on Bank.
• Revert to Save [A].
• Collect Diancie #1 from Bank.
• Receive Diancie #2.
• Check PIDs.
[Also tested injecting the wonder card two different times. Both PIDs were different then too.]

Well if the IVs & natures are different, of course the PIDs will be different.
That's not true at all.
I heard this on PP.org but i don't think that these Wondercards can be insert into the games. Wondercards from Powersaves are fake. So.. you have just sand in your hands right now. You know what i'm talking about.
You keep saying you "heard this from-" have you ever checked yourself?
Wondercards can be inserted into the game, just like other gens can (as well as other things).
Yes i did. However we can't insert original WCs into the games with Powersaves.
Here is a link to all the people banned for trading hacks on showdown.

On a side note, if Unowninator's Diancie becomes Illegal to trade on this forum, please message me. I'm pretty sure AfroThunderRule hacks his wonder cards too, and this hasn't come up before... weird. I feel kind of dirty. *leaves to reset Xerneas legitimately.*
Please let me know too so I can remove it from my trade-bait; I don't want to get blacklisted.
i want my medichamXD
Mate, what are you talking about? We've already established your Medicham is legal.
