I can only get European codes so i may not be much help there. Does anyone know if shiny Xerneas and shiny Yveltal are still coming to Belgium? I always check Serebii but they have no new updates. I may have to trade for them which is risky with all the perfect IV's ones around (hacked).

I need an American Arceus :( Thanks anyway!

In the Serebii Event Dex, there's one European Shiny Yvtail running to end in September... Sadly you need to get a code in Sweden...

The codes usage are to up to the end of year. Maybe you got a distribution in Belgium or near in the next months.

By the way, I already offer one of then to you (the American distribution goes by Internet, so i got 4 of them with my XYORAS games :p ). If you want, I trade with you!

And in the future (sun/moon), perfect legendary will be a common thing.

@Metafogos, It's too bad that codes are region locked. I didn't think you would have any left, i would love to have them but i don't know what to offer for them. I know that IV's and EV's will be easy to obtain in Sun and Moon but i try to have pure and fair Pokémon since i don't like getting accused all the time (it happened plenty on my legit shinies). I don't know how to hack so i can't always tell if a Pokémon is truly legit but i do check on all available information.

If you want the shiny X and Y, i give it to you :D dont need send nothing special (by now I already have almost everything I want... only the August to December legendaries not have - but I already have some "hight probably hacked ones" to full my dex... I want oficial ones to trash the "probably hacked" ones...)

@Metafogos, Thank you :) Did we already exchange friend codes or? I know i had added people from this forum at one point. I have all Pokémon in the dex so i have duplicates if you want anything specific. I can't give shiny locked Pokémon though.

I dont know if we trade codes already... By the way, mine is 384057129363

You can send me any pokemon. A good shot is the Vivilion... I have few variations of this one. The Shinies I like to get myself, to mark who is the ones I find by luck :D

I Will transfer the XY shinies to a game to trade, and will be online after, if we already trade codes :D

Gonna catch 2 Pokémon since currently on OR which is a new file. Just redeemed an Arceus code on it.

Update: which Vivillon do you still need? Maybe i can help you on that with one of my game cartridges.

Okay....so Alola evolution somehow changed two fire and ground types into ice types, even though there is no areas that have ice on the island map just yet. As well as made Exeggutor skinny with a tail head, that allows him to fall on his foes with tremendous force. Not to mention a weird bird that changes form on every island, which means it probably wouldn't be good in a online battle given it's type changes (and the fact the Dance Mimicking wouldn't work on a Pokémon who doesn't know dances). A alien-like pokemon with swirly eyes that can take one attack before his armor collapses, and a even regal Trump-version Hard-boiled mongoose 8 times bigger than his pre-evolution. I do like the Solar Blade that mantis-like pokemon is using, and Mudbray's adorable (though I wonder if you can do things with haircuts). Also looking forward to riding pokemon on saddles and the like, it should make it easier to get around without Surf equipped, but I am a tad bummed there may be no gyms on these islands given the trials and totem pokemon.

And on a side-note, I hope that Niantic won't shut down Pokémon Go if the company ends up giving back refunds and loses financial support to the in-game items because of the boycott.

@Metafogos, Gonna check in a bit. Update: Garden Pattern, Modern Pattern, Polar Pattern and Elegant Pattern on my Y.

@super hurricane, You should double check the facts. The 4th island has snow on the top so in other words a place where ice types thrive. Oricorio does not change on the islands, each island has a different one for you to catch so you can get all 4. It has not been confirmed officially if gyms and megas are gone! People need to stop jumping to conclusions. They show the new stuff first and other familiar things will follow later. Also you can't ride your own Pokémon that way since the site says they are Pokémon you can call upon for their services. Though great, i wish we could ride on our own caught Pokémon's backs but maybe that will still come. As for Pokémon Go, i caught Pokémon that did not sit still at all. They jumped to avoid and even attacked! So no captures aren't easy except for on low CP Pokémon. Just wanted to clarify all that.

Apparently Ninetales only live on top of a snowy holy mountain in Alola (Vulpix originally moved up there because they were crowded out from other areas), and the Sandshrew line was driven out of the deserts by frequent volcanic eruptions.

I'm loving the changes they've made to Ninetales - their fluffy fur makes them look more mystical, matching their Fairy typing, and reminds me of a snow flurry. It also makes sense that Alpine Ninetales will have thicker, fluffier fur than their desert cousins - just like Alpine foxes in real life!

Really? They can attack you back? Now that is a interesting animation to see. And I didn't see the facts, only the trailer, and if anything, I was just stating what was on it. But thank you for clarifying all that information for all of us.

And just for fun, a song parody devoted to Pokémon GO players with a lot of eggs to hatch:

I Love the Alola Vulpix and Ninetails. The Alola Exeggutor looks silly to me.
I wonder what other pokemon are going to get new Alolan variations.

This may be a dumb question but i'm curious about it so here goes. I have friends who have Pokémon game roms next to the official ones to do mods on them if you can call it that and they have this mod that makes every single wild encountered Pokémon 100% shiny. As a shiny hunter i always want to make sure my shinies are legit so the question is, are those shiny Pokémon legit? They were caught in their respective routes and locations (shaking grass battles included). The roms are Black & White version.

Sadly, the blocks in the bank dont get this ones as hacked. He only gets as a Hacked if is an impossible pokemon, impossible stats, impossible moves, impossible abilities, impossibile level in the route, impossible route, and so on...

If is something possible (like a shiny pokemon in this route, with the route lvl, the normal moves and so on), the game accepts as a real even a perfect IV shiny.

But there is another block: some types of hacks are caught by the game hinself, and this can block the send of any pokemon to the bank, and any type of using this game in any oficial or online modes. But if the bank acepts from the gen V, he validate it to the new gens and this became "oficial".

Hard to block because the problem to block the real "Lucky shot" ones, because they are possible...

I know but they don't have perfect IV's and they aren't mine either. I was just wondering since all they did was that mod on the roms so all Pokémon encountered after obtaining the starter would be shiny. Obviously the Reshiram and Zekrom would be seen as hacked due to the lock but all the other Pokémon are still normal. I keep on saying they are hacked since i didn't like seeing such easy tricks to get shinies but it's not entirely fair to them either so yeah.

@ShadowLightMew I believe the distinction you're looking for is whether the shiny Pokemon from the rom are 'legit' or 'legal'.

'Hacked' is often used to refer to any Pokemon that was obtained through unofficial means; the shiny rom 'mons are definitely hacked.

'Legal' means that the Pokemon's data - location, stats, trainer id etc. - all match those of a legit Pokemon. The Pokemon could technically be obtained officially regardless of whether it actually is. Legal hacked Pokemon are impossible for the GTS etc. to pick up, but we can often infer that a legal Pokemon is likely to be hacked due to the sheer improbability of encountering it (e.g. 6IV unbreedable shiny Pokemon; a couple of legit ones may exist somewhere in the world, but probably not on the GTS). The shiny rom 'mons are mostly legal, with the exception of shiny-locked species such as Reshiram.

'Legit' Pokemon are ones that have been obtained the official way - they have been caught/bred/obtained in-game, with no rom hacking/cheating/etc. methods. Legal Pokemon include official distributions by the Pokemon company, and this is often the only way to obtain legit mythical Pokemon or certain Pokemon/move combinations (e.g. Happy Hour). For example, the Arceus from the distribution that's going on right now is 100% legit. However, if this Arceus is cloned, the clone is not legit as cloning is not an official part of the games. If someone hacked their old gen 4 game to unlock the Azure Flute, the Arceus caught there would also not be legit, despite being caught in-game, as the Azure Flute was never officially distributed. All legit Pokemon are legal, but not all legal Pokemon are legit. The shiny 'rom mons are most certainly not legit!

You'll find differing opinions as to whether legal hacked Pokemon (like those from the shiny rom) are okay to use or not. Some people feel that if the Pokemon is technically obtainable in the games, then it's okay to not waste time breeding the right IVs. Others will not agree with that, but will be okay with cloning Pokemon that cannot be obtained otherwise - for example, Volcanion was never distributed in my country (Australia) so anyone from here that wants one will pretty much have to settle for a clone. Some people do not want any hacked Pokemon at all. All these opinions are okay! However, if you're trading, it's good form to be open about whether the Pokemon is hacked/cloned/legit so the person you're trading with can make an informed decision.

TL;DR: All Pokemon caught on the shiny rom will be hacked; almost all will be legal with the exception of Reshiram and Zekrom, and none will be legit.

I know all that about GTS etc, i am as old as Pokémon is. It's just hard at times to group certain Pokémon under hacked or not. I will always aim for legit shinies which is tough since you don't know a received shiny's origin. I try not to trade for them often due to the many custom shinies out there.

Yeah, that was a lot of general information for anyone else reading who might be curious. The tldr answers your question - the shiny rom Pokemon you were asking about are hacked. They are not legit.

Same here but sometimes i trade to complete my shiny dex, not always though. I try to do it all on my own games, shiny hunting and breeding included.

I used to watch Verlisify a lot... but now that he wants to be the pokemon police, I just want to throw my head through my cpu anytime I hear his voice anymore

(Having anytime of community = cheating) could rant but there no point

I honestly never heard of him until suddenly the bomb exploded after he attacked people i knew. Then i learned about all the others. His attitude from what i have seen fits PETA pretty well *shudders*. To me the Pokémon community is awesome but he is beyond any description and not in a positive way. Wish this nonsense war blew over already though. At least everyone i subscribed to is ignoring him as well as possible but somethings gonna give since now he has new victims on the radar from what i heard.

If you have a youtube channel or a social media account then you best stay clear away of Verlisify. He blocks everyone who disagrees with him and dares to speak up. He doesn't like freedom of speech.

Yup new awesome looking Pokémon and it looks like the "leaks" have been disproved since the dex leak said Bewear didn't have an evolution line.
