So, I'm not familiar with the Tournament scene, but what is to prevent someone coming in with a Spiritomb with Wonder Guard? Or have a Pokémon with an attack that it does not get via level up, TM/HM, or breeding? Or base IVs that are all maxed thanks to an Action Replay? Sure, the last could be done with hours of breeding and/or luck, but the possibility is still there for this.

Are there any safeguards in place that prevent overly hacked Pokémon?

to answer your question, although a little late, battle revolution filters out any pokemon with movesets they cannot learn, abilities that are unobtainable (by that pokemon), and stats that are not within the min/max range for that pokemon or stats that do not concur with that pokemons nature (etc.). any of these pokemon will show up as "bad eggs" and are unuseable.

this is not to say that battle revolution filters out hacked pokemon. one can easily use an action replay or such to give full 31 IV's to each of their pokemon, or one or more pokemon normally unobtainable normally  (*cough* darkrai and arcaeus *cough*)

sorry if the explaination is choppy
