Hello everyone,
I wondered if these shinies can be legit:

Mew
Lugia
Celebi
Deoxys

Ive seen these shinies on another forum. The person who got them said they are events like Mystery Mew or 10ANIV Celebi but I'm still skeptical about they.
The Deoxys and Lugia were apparently caught in a Master Ball, too...

You do catch Lugia and Deoxys so the master ball is fine. Im not sure with the events though

All my 10th aniv are in pokeballs, so Im guessing
Celebi would be in a pokeball aswell. And mew also.
It is possible to get them shiny, but it's very very hard
to do so.

Apart from the Faraway Island event was only in Japan, so technically, your Mew (and probably Deoxys) aren't legit, since you must have cheated to get them.

I'm not sure whether you can get them shiny (Mew and Celebi). I've never heard of a shiny one being legit, so I wouldn't trust them. Although, if you clone, it's not such a big problem if they turn out to be hacked.

For the record, I have a shiny Mew and Deoxys, but I think they're hacked. I also have a legit Birth Island Deoxys from my Emerald. That's one of the advantages the UK gets over the US :P

They all CAN be legit, but:

Mew - If it comes from Hoenn and it's ID isn't 00010, then it must be Japanese and have a Japanese OT. Because of the obscure chance of these being shiny, they aren't allowed to be traded here, unless you can provide conclusive evidence that yours is legit.
Lugia - Must come from Hoenn and have an original OT and ID
Celebi - There have been VERY FEW confirmed legit Shiny Celebi (Those having the OT 10 ANNIV and the ID 00010), and for this reason they are not allowed to be traded here.
Deoxys - Must come from Hoenn or Kanto. Only Japanese legit Shiny Deoxys can come from Hoenn, though.

And since the Q&A thread should be the place to ask about the legitimacy of shinies, I'll lock this.

*locks*
