I put a Slowking up for trade for a Proygon-Z on GTS 2 hours ago and got this, how can I tell if this is a legitimate shiny or not?
>>27710141
It probably isn't m8. A fully level up shiny trade in GTS is 90% probably an injection.
Who gives a shit at this point? seriously.
If it'a tradable its legit as far as the game can tell.
Nicely put there is no way to know for sure senpai.
Probably definitely fake, check the encounter location I guess?
Don't want it? wonder trade it away.
>>27710141
>injection
What's that?
>>27710141
Protip : it's hacked
>>27710141
>Someone willing to trade a legit shiny for a GTS shitmon
Es hacked
It could be a clone desu. It's fun wondertrading masuda clones on wondertrade.
>>27710141
Check its IVs. If it's perfect in every way it's almost certainly fake. If it has realistic IVs maybe it's legit.
>>27710194
Hatch your injections like an undetectable boss.
>>27710141
>no pentagon
>apparently 6iv
>>>>french
It's definitely not legit.
>>27710194
That wouldn't matter. If it has a weird encounter the game wouldn't let it be traded.
>>27710141
There was a Pokegen glitch thing years ago in BW that let you get a shiny Porygon-Z from gts.
>>27710141
>No Gen 6 symbol
99% chance it was hacked in and then transferred over via Bank
Probably, but does it matter?
I got a Hippodon(?) off GTS that has the shiny scheme, but no star and no shiny animation. Now that's a shitty injection m8
>>27710474
It's probably not shiny. Remember, male and female Hippowdon have different color schemes.
I found a legit shiny one in XY and had to look it up mid-battle to make sure it was actually shiny.
>>27710474
>people are this technologically retarded
If it is shiny, the pokemon's data simply has one value set to 1 instead of 0. This single value makes it appear as shiny, makes the star appear, and triggers the shiny animation.
You mistook different color schemes for male/female for shinyness.
>>27710567
It's silver so I know it's the shiny scheme.
Well, at least it's lvl 100 and traded my lvl 62 Hydreigon for it. I'll probably try to rope some other sucker in
>>27710633
>It's silver so I know it's the shiny scheme
Sorry, dude. That's a normal, non-shiny female Hippowdon.
people love giving away junk occasionally. heck I could throw a shiny dialga onto the gts asking for a poochyena or something.
>>27710474
>has the shiny scheme but no star and no shiny animation
>shitty injection
That's actually impossible to do, even using PKHex. You'd have to specifically hack your game to do that and it wouldn't even show up as shiny in a non-hacked game. You probably just have a female Hippowdon.

I'm not even going to add a snarky final comment here... you're just pathetic.
>>27710925
What? It's impossible to get Porygon-Z without trading and I'm not trying to cheat. I was wondering if it was legit or not so I can send it to Sun when it comes out so I can complete the PokeDex in that game.
>>27711077
Then go to Wi-Fi general to help you.
>>27710141
It's fake, I got one from wonder trade and sent it away on gts (weeks ago though)
>>27710662
Female Hippowdons are black.
>>27710633
>It's silver
What the fuck? They're isn't a silver Hippowdon.
>>27711192
Shinies are more beige or gold, while normal females are somewhere between black and silver. Whatever you call it, it doesn't sound like >>27710633 had a shiny.
>>27710256
>Not understanding fucking protips
>>27710141
You could try not caring
>>27711922
Thanks for the tip m8
"Legitimate shiny"
Injections are identical, there is no way to tell and no reason to care

>perfect ivs (if that's what the symbols are indicating)

Yeah pretty hacked.
