Help with Possible Hack ID - 10 ANIV Charizard Shiny

[Houndoomed]

Hi all, not sure if this is where this goes but,

I received a shiny Charizard via trade today on SS, I looked it up and found that none were meant to be shiny, with a few exceptions apparently. This is what it should be I think

And here's mine, everything matches except the date and the fact that its shiny

Also, it plays online on battle rev, which makes me think its real, as a hacked Darkrai that I had wouldnt

So what do you guys think, It looks to have been around a while. I read that some were released Shiny but Im not sure.

Release or not to release?

You should upload it on pokecheck and show us the screenshot of the analysis.

Just keep it. Why would you release a shiny Charizard?

If I could have sworn, there was a very rare chance that the gifts in 10 ANV thingy could be rare. But I may be wrong. Just keep it, its shiny!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that date the date the Pokemon was transferred from Generation 3 to Generation 4, not the date it was actually received?

You guys are silly. If it's a hacked shiny, it's worthless. Anyway, use Pokecheck to check, or check the blacklist in the Trade Corner. And I also think there's a hack check in there? Basically, there's more resources in the Trade Corner, but I can't move this there cause this isn't a trade thread. I hope it's legit though!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that date the date the Pokemon was transferred from Generation 3 to Generation 4, not the date it was actually received?

Yes, that's correct. Gen III didn't keep track of dates, so when a Pokemon comes from gen III to IV, the date it transferred counts as its day received.

Locked.
