Countering Hackers

Lately we've been dealing with those kind of people who think they're unstoppable just because they have AR(Action Replay) or Pokesav, or any other cheating devices(a.k.a. hackers).Well i thought it'd be nice if we can come up with ideas of finding ways to counter whatever trick they have up their hacked sleeve.

Good luck finding ways we can beat any hacker:)

Against a Spiritomb with wonderguard with it stats altred- A pokemon with focas sash that has destiny bond.

lol I pulled that off awhile ago.Also i don't know if anyone knows, but recently, players have found out that you can actually counter against a wondertomb by using the move,Fire Fang.You can look it up on youtube vids about it,or try to find a hacker to test it out.

don't battle them in the first place mrbe?

that's why we have such a strict hacking policy.

the thing with hackers is that they can hack stats as well, which renders the fire fang glitch worthless. Anyway, i'm not locking this topic, as its a good chance for discussion. I'm just putting the site's view on hackers out there.

i think that against hackers the best strategy is the
F.E.A.R

Focus sash
Endeavor
quick Attack
Rattata (any other pokemon can do it too but it wouldn't form FEAR)

the focus sash-destiny bond one is good too, or maybe this one: custap berry + endure + destiny bond

ok saying it out in the open for all to see it's how we'll deal with it i say don't battle them or when you foound out they have a hacked pokemon when your battleing them D/C

that's right, that's what anybody would do, but, in case u don't want to d/c, that's when these strategies may come in handy.

The A is refering to Attack.

the best way to counter them

leave your ds for a while/long time it will make the mad just keep them waiting

Well, most of the solutions stated in this thread are novice at best, and wouldn't work on a hacker who has any idea what he's doing, meaning he/she wouldn't resort to a Wondertomb and think their invincible.

The way to counter a hacker really depends on what the situation is.
My usual solution is to turn off my DS and then tell the person they are a waste of my time then find someone else to battle.
I'm just postin to increase my post count XD

yeah, we got that <_<... lol

we kind of all ready covered that, but yeah thats what i would do. Personally i wouldnt want to battle a hacker, especially if they know what they are doing. But i think the overall solution to this would either do as hellrider said turn it off, or darrens way, ive done that to a hacker and theyy got ticked off

this isnt meant to boast or anything so dont start on me about it. but from my past experience with hackers is just to take them on with sheer force. i.e ... my kyogre has a choice scarf with water spout and its come through many times mainly since it just has so much power in that water spout attack, also i say use a stalling pokemon such as lugia with the moves toxic, recover, substitute, and whatever else u think would help. also. make it hold the berry that increases its special defense by 1.5 when it gets hurt. (this is strategy of mine and i dont want to see 1000 wolf wanna - bes running around with the EXACT same strategies as i. it annoys me very much. besides these 2 suggestions were made to help beat hackers without any cheezy tricks such as focus sash and destiny bond. i hope this helps. it makes me feel better about myself when i beat a hacker with my regular team because then i know i trained my pokemon the besti could and i makes me wanna keep getting better. keep it real people

I will have to agree with Latios on this Just dont battle them in the first place unless they only used the ar to get the pokemon so basically if they have altered there pokes stats or moves then dont but if its just a poke with nothing altered then go ahead...

I agree too but this is in case any of us run into one by accident.
