And if one acquires a 6IV ditto through trading, they haven't made a single illegitimate move. Genning one is cheating, but obtaining one through the means of trade is part of the game. It's now legitimate, by gf's standards. Sorry to burst your bubble, but your powersaved pokemon are all worthless trash to people who grind legitimately.
