Go to this thread and they'll explain how it works

I haven't tried it yet mainly because I'm too damn lazy.

If this is true, Smogon created a monster that can pretty much destroy the Wifi DS metagame. Any thoughts?

They can't let that be legalized can they?

That practically upsets a ton of the set parts of battling right there.

holy crap. i know it'll destroy the metagame if they allow it... but Head Smash Aerodactyl!!

:D Flare Blitz Flareon z0mg!!!

itt: people who don't read entire threads

tl;dr

All I'm going to say on this is: ORLY? And don't get excited. Read the entire thread to see for yourself.

None of those things like Aerodactyl and Rock Head because he doesn't learn Mimic if I get the gist of the thread.

Damn. Can't they ever get that kind of thing right? It's the 1/13 loophole all over again.

Oh, and Mimic was a universal move tutor in Emerald, so that means all Pokémon from the first three gens, their evos and Chatot have access to it.

Some guy in that topic already tested it and it doesn't work.

It being fake wouldn't have changed the fact that no one in their right mind would ever allow something like that, and all battles would have to be carried out over crappy DS Wifi. PBR doesn't even allow illegal move combinations to go online, and no sane person would create a server that allowed such abuse.

Shame on those that just jumped to conclusions.

Yeah, I agree. Back in the GSC days one of the major rules was that movesets only achievable through the 1/13 loophole were banned, and no one could really argue against that. A similar rule would be implemented if it had actually worked, no doubt.

I must say though I was surprised at how elaborate PBR's filter was. They did a damn fine job on it.

ALL event moves in existance were legit, but not only would cross-event combos or egg moves set off the filter, your event poke had to be a clone of the original (barring the random, of course.) That included not being allowed to make it shiny.

Sure, many people hacked(myself included) but it was nice to know that you could only ever fight monsters that were within ALL legal confines of the game.

There was also an invisible tiered system so that after you murdered a dozen idiots with ingame teams or ubers you could fight the competent. None of that friend code bullshit, either. 3v3 style of play is also highly underrated and arguably introduces even more mindgames.

From everything I've heard about PBR, it's not very reliable for checking hacked Pokemon.
