I got a 6 IV dragonite and thought it could be hacked. It's not shiny so I wasn't sure

[Wolfcub1017]

Awesome I hope it is legit thanks for the information

the blue pentagon means that if a pokemon has it that means it was obtained in gen 6 but if it doesnt it was obtained in another game

In truth, one of the few ways to determine if a Pokemon is "hacked" is via checking the Memory Girl from each respective titles (forgot where IN-game), and see from this list. Mostly this guide is used to check if legendary Pokemon are indeed "hacked" as they have to coorespond to certain locations. If any pentagon (Gen 6-born) Pokemon doesn't have any memories at all means it is likely hacked as only gen 5 and below Pokemon have this trait. Just people a Pokemon from gen 5 or below don't have a pentagon doesn't mean they are hacked. Aside the internal hack checks in GTS/Pokemon Battle Spot, there's very few options to determine if a Pokemon is "hacked".
