Why do people always hack Pokemon (legends most likely) and use them in online battles when they know they will get banned? Also, I really wonder how they hack Pokemon...

The people I know of hack in competitive or shiny Pokemon because they have a busy life and don't have the time to breed the Pokemon themselves. If you're talking about the people who hack in Pokemon with illegal stats/moves (like a shiny reshiram with blast burn and 600 EV's in attack), I'm pretty sure it's just a way for them to troll online, or they're just having fun with it, and most likely don't care if they get banned from Online battles.

There are a lot of methods of hacking Pokemon, but the two I've heard the most about are Action Replay and PKHeX.

(pkhex is harder to use now, because you need to mod actual games like cubeninja or a zelda game i forgot the name of to actually get homebrew to use pkhex.)
