Nope, no hack, it's perfectly legal :D What happens is that when you fight a Pokemon you get an Effort Value (EV), and what sort depends on the Pokemon. So fighting a Pikachu will get you 1 EV of Speed, a Gengar gets you 3 Special Attack etc. If you get 4 EVs in a certain stat, you gain a bonus +1 to it when you level up.
A Pokemon can gain 510 EVs (after that they stop earning them), but you can only put 255 in each stat. So if you only fight a certain kind of Pokemon, you can gain up to +63 in a stat! Doesn't happen all at once, mind; it's spread out until you reach lv100. But sometimes you get a load at once, like this :D It's marvellous for maximising your Pokemon's strength; in this case my Mewtwo is a special sweeper ;)
There's ways to speed up the training; both the item Macho Brace and the disease Pokerus double the amount of EVs you get. So I fully EV trained my Articuno in about an hour.
I take being a Pokemon Master way too seriously XD
I know, I've been trying to figure out what the hell it means. I asked some of the Japanese girls on my course, but apparently it isn't a word. The closest thing is muna+ge, which means chest hair! But I've seen several on the GTS called it, and surely not everyone is calling it that...
Ah well, I could pass it off as anything and nobody would know :p

EV training ftw! I haven't the time to learn anything about it yet, but it looks like fun :P
