Yesterday, I was getting the Mew event, and afterward checked the GTS.

When I checked my Platinum, I got a shiny Shaymin. I don't know what I put up for it because it's been so long since I last checked.

It doesn't seem hacked (no omega stats, weird ID, messed up moves, etc.) except for the fact it was a fateful encounter at level 30, and it was obtained obtained on Feb. 6, 2010, which is not when the Platinum event was going on. The person could have SR'd for months and then cloned it, but still, a little suspicious. Help?
 
Yeah, I completely agree. Another reason to believe this is because I actually put up a Smeargle for a level 30 and up Shaymin. Really? A shiny Shaymin for a Smeargle?
I SR'd for two months once, but not any higher than that. I guess I'll release it soon. Oh well, you can't trust the GTS. Thanks for responding.
 
*Minus the Japanese name*
Does it match my Jp Platnium event for the details (& can it transform into Skymin)?

Your details are different, my details are:

Quirky nature.
Feb. 6, 2010

Apparently had a fateful encounter at Lv.30.
Hates to lose.
Happily eats anything.

Yeah... why? Is it a certain cheat? As for Skymin, yes, it's transform(e)able.
 
Just because the date received is Feb 6 2010 doesn't mean it is hacked, it could just mean they changed there DS a lot time, for example, I set my DS one minute to midnight then it switch my swarm/day/whatever, and I think my DS time is now like in March 2012? Also @ Alvin and the Minezumis it is very possible to SR a pokemon for a couple months, especially if you are slacking off and taking breaks in between.
 
It might have been RNGed. I've gotten Pokemon from 2091 and 2006 (and a bunch of dates inbetween). The only real way to check it to see if it is legit is to have someone with experience check the Pokemon with legal, Pokesav, etc.. But knowing that you got it from the GTS, it is 99.999...% hacked.
 
^Heh. Reminds me of my Animal Crossing file.
^^ Yeah true, It's been quite a while since I decided to SR that Kyogre...
Is there anybody you guys know who I could give it to that can tell if it is hacked? Because having a supposedly hacked pokemon in my game bothers me :(
I guess I'm paranoid...
 
Well, they they didn't hack the Shaymin itself, but they PROBABLY did hack getting the event package. The only true way to see if it's hacked is to give it to someone who has plenty experience, and tell if the shininess is legit.
 
There's nothing obvious to point out that it's been hacked, but since it is GTS, you always need to be very leery of what you find there, especially if it's legendaries.
If you can give more detailed specs (or screenshots of the Shaymin's data window), I might be able to tell you for sure whether it's hacked or not; I can usually tell whether or not something is hacked. So far I don't see anything suspicious, thankfully, but then again, it is GTS.
 
If I upload images, it will be too low resolution to do anything with... as far as I can tell, it's just the date. No weird sprite or anything like that.
 
Then I don't think you have much to fear, really. I'm sure your Shaymin is fine.
