Hello everyone, I have been Pokemon for a long time, I think since blue, but then just recently came back for Omega Ruby.
So i'm new to this whole shiny pokemon & hunting, and most importantly the legendaries.
So yesterday a friend that I know has been playing Pokemon since birth, lol and I really wanted Jirachi and he actually gave me one...
So it looks legit and everything, but I was reading that legendaries are SUPPPPPER hard to come by so I was just wondering
is it legit? How can I tell?
He also showed me a Shiny Mew he had and he said he was willing to trade it to me if I really wanted it but I said no....
is this legit / real or is he hacking them?
Also another question: Let's say he gives me that shiny Mew and it's hacked and I want to use it online and stuff, will I get banned or something?
I just want legit Pokemon...I was alarmed when he gave me Jirachi and willing to give me a Shiny Mew.
I was reading that Shiny Mew is literally almost impossible or something called "shiny lock"
there isnt an %100 way to tell if a pokemons legit. in the case of jirachi there was event last month where they were given away in mass so it's definitely possible its legit. one way you could check is by going to the iv checker at the battle resort. hackers tend to give pokemon perfect ivs so if it doesnt have it its probably fine. the shiny mew i would be really scpiktical on as shiny event legendaries (such as mew) are incredibly rare.
Jirachi: Yes
Shiny Mew: 0.1 chance of it being legit. They could have soft resetted for it in gen 3 when the event happened, but that's highly unlikely

You don't get banned, and it might have something to bypass legitimacy checks.

Nowadays there are a lot of people with knowledge on how to bypass legitimacy checks and own Powersaves. It sucks, doesn't it?

they keep trying to fight it but the hackers are always one step ahead. personally im not as horribly bothered about the perfect stats or even legendarys as most of thoese can be gotten legit pretty easly with x/y changes to iv/ev tarding and the massive giveaway there having this year. im more dissapointed in the shinys.all 3 of the shinys that i have have been through trade. (two through wonder trade one was a giveaway) and im pretty sure there all hacked. it makes it less special.
