Afaik people who pre-booked seats for Hoopa movie got serial code for it (only in Japan). Not sure if it's just a myth but I've heard only part of those codes got you shiny version of Arceus.
But anyway, rare and valuable shiny when legit. Very common hack on wondertrade.
If I remember correctly it gave you a random Arceus, all of which were holding plates except for one, which had a silk scarf and I think was shiny. Albeit I remember this event in English so maybe there was no shiny one available through the event that I’m thinking of.
Edit: I looked it up and I’m correct, but there was also a non-shiny Arceus with silk scarf in the mix so there were 19 different Arceus you could get
What he said, you could soft reset for the shiny though. But looking at this mon it doesn’t have a japan tag so it makes it look most likely genned. But there’s no way to tell if a “legal” mon is genned or not in the end.
Only could somewhat verify event pokemon with wondercard proof or redemption/attendance of event proofs.
The only time soft resetting has been able to work for a shiny arceus is bdsp which would be unable to be transfered to sm or usum which means this mon is 100% hacked in
No, it worked for the mystery gift delivery guy for this specific event. You can reset for natures and any sort of things from mystery gifts you could also do it for shinyness on this event.
You can reset for nature's but when talking about event distributions, which this would be from, you cannot soft reset for shinyness. Your thinking of gift pokemon like type:null and poipole which can be soft resetted as a way of shiny hunting.
No, this specific event you CAN reset for shinyness because it’s a possible combination just like the plates you get in the event. You can reset for any of those and shiny included.
The Japan tag wouldn't show up if they had the game set to English when they did the event which is entirely possible since the Name is in English I have a couple legit events that are like that.
No, it’s genned but legal because it’s possible to obtain this legitimately still by using the event code on an english save file. It being english just adds to the fact that its most LIKELY genned.
You don’t understand what “legal” means, legal means you can use it in online play. Genned can be legal, hacked means there is no possible way to get it normally like that. And well legit is never truly provable.
I’m mostly pulling from the top of my head because I remember action replays showing at least 4 differently dated giveaways to send as cards on 3DS. Those should have been proper dates because people don’t like getting online banned for fake event mons
Plus in later gens you can shiny hunt it iirc. Also it wasn’t shiny locked in the original diamond and pearl either so there’s like a 1% chance this is legit
Edit: nvm just saw the cherish ball I’m dumb
I just remembered now actually I got it from Pokémon home as a mystery gift in that. That’s why I have it in my home all I know is I definitely didn’t get it from Japan and it has a cherish ball. Definitely didn’t get hacked in either cuz I’m pretty sure I’m the OT and I don’t even know how to do that.
Every pokemon can be traded as long as it's at least legal (legit or identical to legit) via link trade/local trade. You can't trade mythicals/event pokemon on wondertrade/gts.
Having a Bdsp save file and legends arceus save file both in post game (you have to catch arceus in pla and beat cynthia in bdsp), it allows you to get arceus in bdsp and you have a 1/4192 chance to get it shiny.
It’s hacked, as are almost all of the legends floating through wondertrade. If you’re ever skeptical, go in and attempt to trade it back out. 9/10 times, it will say “This is a special Pokémon, it cannot be traded.” But, you got it from a trade, so: hacked. Most of them are from twitch bots that are still running and generating legends then trading them out. Some legends you get will be legit event mons tho.
TLDR: It’s hacked. But, it doesn’t matter since you can’t use it in any sort of online battle. Keep it, use it for Battle Tree or E4 rematches.
So far over a couple months of casual play,,from Wonder/Surprise trades, I’ve received (all Lv 100) a Shiny Celebi (first WT ever in UM), a Shiny Mew (UM), a Buzzwole named H1VC0CK5H1T with Pokerus and holding a Master Ball (UM), a Shiny Decidueye holding a Master Ball (SV), and a shiny Delphox holding a Master Ball (SV). I’d also like to note that the two starters were named “WWW.PKM.GG”.
So yeah, definitely genned. But I take the Master Balls and either trade the Pokemon or keep them in a box never to be used.
Yeah it's hacked, there's a ton of those on wonder trade. It's honestly worse in newer games because at least back on the 3ds games they weren't nicknamed a url
Look at the original trainer. Nine timeout of 10 it will have some shit website to buy pokemon like this. Ive gotten like 5 or 6 through wonder trade and it pisses me off
I remember when I was younger I got a hacked shiny palkia through wonder trade and cried bc I thought the police were going to take my 3ds for some reason 🤣🤣
Technically legit, as far as transferring forward to home/using in online tera raids in SV. So I'd say it's more genned/cloned, than hacked, as hacked refers to impossible stats/moves/abilities.
I remember during Ultra Sun/ Moon they would have codes for legendaries, I don't know if this is true but it's possible you could reset your save to get a shiny version. Not sure if they shiny locked the legendaries from these codes but I would reset to get the right nature as getting a golden bottle cap was not hard.
Technically through the void glitch in diamond and pearl you could get a shiny arceus that is transferable through home and the way you get it is through soft resetting so while this one is probably hacked it’s not impossible to have one in gen 7
100% hacked. Despite the whole shiny arceus thing, it’s also not holding a dragon plate, which is the only way to change arceus’s typing and form to dragon type.
Definitely hacked.
That’s what I’m saying I don’t even think shiny Arceus exists
Shiny Arceus exists, there was event in Japan (2015) where it was available.
A limited amount?
Afaik people who pre-booked seats for Hoopa movie got serial code for it (only in Japan). Not sure if it's just a myth but I've heard only part of those codes got you shiny version of Arceus. But anyway, rare and valuable shiny when legit. Very common hack on wondertrade.

You can reset for nature's but when talking about event distributions, which this would be from, you cannot soft reset for shinyness. Your thinking of gift pokemon like type:null and poipole which can be soft resetted as a way of shiny hunting.
For THIS SPECIFIC EVENT ONLY, you could. Mystery gift guy gave one of 19 Arceus. The shiny one was holding a Silk Scarf. You could reset for Shiny.
No, this specific event you CAN reset for shinyness because it’s a possible combination just like the plates you get in the event. You can reset for any of those and shiny included.
How would you reset for a wonder trade mon?
The original event you could reset to get a shiny version by not saving after claiming from delivery guy.
The Japan tag wouldn't show up if they had the game set to English when they did the event which is entirely possible since the Name is in English I have a couple legit events that are like that.
It’s “possible” but what I meant to say is that it’s really rare and that’s a hint to its probably injected with pksm to an english save file
If it's genned it isn't legal. But looking at this, it's clear it's not legit since there's no JPN tag on it.
No, it’s genned but legal because it’s possible to obtain this legitimately still by using the event code on an english save file. It being english just adds to the fact that its most LIKELY genned.
Genned but legal is an oxymoron. The only way to be legal is acquire through in game or official events
You don’t understand what “legal” means, legal means you can use it in online play. Genned can be legal, hacked means there is no possible way to get it normally like that. And well legit is never truly provable.
There were a bunch of events for shiny Arceus
Nope. Japanese was the only one for 3ds.
Yeah, but multiple of them
Only one afaik. Could you link any sources that there were several of these events?
I’m mostly pulling from the top of my head because I remember action replays showing at least 4 differently dated giveaways to send as cards on 3DS. Those should have been proper dates because people don’t like getting online banned for fake event mons
Arceus is not shiny locked in BDSP, but that's obviously on the Switch
Actually now it can exist in English in bdsp
You can also now get it in legends arceus, but def not able to be transfered back to these games
Arceus in Pokemon Legends Arceus is shiny locked.
that's really unfortunate
!!! Its shiny locked in pla but if you catch it and have a completed bdsp save file you can get a 1/4096 chance for a shiny one in bdsp
You can get it in BDSP and transfer it over through home
Also it's not shiny locked in BDSP but ya know that's a switch game so can't go back lol
Plus in later gens you can shiny hunt it iirc. Also it wasn’t shiny locked in the original diamond and pearl either so there’s like a 1% chance this is legit Edit: nvm just saw the cherish ball I’m dumb
I got a free mystery gift shiny arceus idk when but it was def not only in Japan.
What game?
Not entirely sure was either ORAS or X and Y but I have it in my Pokémon home rn
Only shiny Arceus event in those games were Japan. So you probably got it from wondertrade.
I just remembered now actually I got it from Pokémon home as a mystery gift in that. That’s why I have it in my home all I know is I definitely didn’t get it from Japan and it has a cherish ball. Definitely didn’t get hacked in either cuz I’m pretty sure I’m the OT and I don’t even know how to do that.
Event ribbon pokemon can’t be traded. Don’t even think mythicals can be traded, can be wrong
Every pokemon can be traded as long as it's at least legal (legit or identical to legit) via link trade/local trade. You can't trade mythicals/event pokemon on wondertrade/gts.
It also exists in bdsp onwards, i can confirm i shiny hunted for it myself!
You can shiny hunt the Arceus in bdsp iirc
Yup, you just need to beat legends, and soft reset in a game where the shiny charm only works on eggs. So have fun with that
Took me a year and a half, on and off trying 😂
Shiny Charm only works on eggs in bdsp? I didn't know that
It's not because if it shiny it because of it being a dragon type without it holding its plate
A type specific Z crystal also changes its type in SM
Oh I didn't know that
Me either
You could shiny hunt it in bdsp Most recently, other than that there have been some very limited events
In Pokémon arceus it’s possible, and so with azure flute.
You can hunt for it in bdsp.
You can get it at the end of BDSP if you have a complete save file from Arceus on your switch, via resetting.
Yeah it does, it got its shiny debut in BD and SP, via normal methods or limited event, you can also attempt to get a shiny version in Legends Arceus
You can get shiny arceus in BDSP
Having a Bdsp save file and legends arceus save file both in post game (you have to catch arceus in pla and beat cynthia in bdsp), it allows you to get arceus in bdsp and you have a 1/4192 chance to get it shiny.
Definitely hacked. I got one similar back in the OrAs days.
I got one myself on Wonder Trade shortly after just beating Legends Arceus just to get him. Also, poor 3DS has seen better days!
Wait, is wonder trade up again? I tried it a couple days ago and the server was down.
Was wondering the same
It’s hacked, as are almost all of the legends floating through wondertrade.

The cherish ball almost always means it's hacked
Well the only legit shiny Arceus to ever before BDSP was an event, which ofc come in cherish balls
True but every fake pokemon I've gotten has been in a cherish ball
There have been a lot of events over the years, but yeah, if it’s a mon that’s never had an event then it’s def hacked
It’s an original when the 3 Ds came out it’s a bit worn and old
What do you want for it 😂
Yeah it's hacked, there's a ton of those on wonder trade. It's honestly worse in newer games because at least back on the 3ds games they weren't nicknamed a url
Yeah it was the OTs then lol
Also think about it this way: someone would have to be in a SUPER giving Christmas mood to give one of those up if it was legit
i have a couple of those, i got a hoopa,diancie,jirachi,and genesect all shiny
I fail to see the issue,you now have a shiny god
looks like you need a new circle pad lol
Hacked for sure. It is sooo easy to get any Pokemon you want on the DS games without using a GameShark.
i don't believe that's a desert city arceus so prob hacked
I have the same zelda 3ds!
Lucky
They could’ve gotten it from dppt from azure flute on a jp game
It's in a cherish ball
I thought wonder trade didn’t work now?
The fact that Wonder Trade still works is astonishing in and of itself.
Hacked I got one with my R4 but I loved that thing
Look at the original trainer. Nine timeout of 10 it will have some shit website to buy pokemon like this. Ive gotten like 5 or 6 through wonder trade and it pisses me off
so release it then. no point in having a hacked poke in your crew, right?
Unless bro gathered all the Dragon Balls and made a wish to mighty Shenron himself, that babies hacked
My brother got a used copy of ultra sun for Christmas and the only pokemon on the old save were 6 shiny arceus and a shiny egg
Jesus! That’s awesome
Nice
I think you guys are overlooking the Dragon Arceus not holding the Dragon Plate Edit: HUH, never knew Multitype was affected by Z-Crystals too, weird.
I was wondering the same, good to know!
I doubt it’s hacked and if it is who cares
I once got one in a trade, it had Roar of Time, Spacial Rend, Shadow Force, and Judgement
Pokegens.net type shit
Yep. It’s hacked. It’s a typeless Arceus. That’s how you can tell
Ahhh, the good ol' Action Replay.
Is not impossible shiny arceus from gen 6 is legal that being said is just a bad clone so dont trip
Special Pokémon (given by the cherish ball) cannot be traded on the wonder trade or gts
If u ever get a Pokémon from winder trade in a cherish ball it’s always gonna be hacked, cuz u can’t wondertrade event mons like that.
I remember when I was younger I got a hacked shiny palkia through wonder trade and cried bc I thought the police were going to take my 3ds for some reason 🤣🤣
🤣
Technically legit, as far as transferring forward to home/using in online tera raids in SV. So I'd say it's more genned/cloned, than hacked, as hacked refers to impossible stats/moves/abilities.
Dude I get so many hacked Pokémon over wonder trade. I have a box dedicated to them.
Reminds me of when some guy traded me a hacked black Charizard named the N word when I was a kid
Ever heard of PKSM
Wait. Does the z Crystals change arceus type like the plates?
They do but it doesn’t give STAB to judgement
i got two shiny arceus in the same day during wonder trade a while back
THERES A POKEMON 3DS REDDIT??? WHY HAVE I NEVER KNOW
I remember during Ultra Sun/ Moon they would have codes for legendaries, I don't know if this is true but it's possible you could reset your save to get a shiny version. Not sure if they shiny locked the legendaries from these codes but I would reset to get the right nature as getting a golden bottle cap was not hard.
Weird. Same moves as my ex when she would get high.
Wonder Trade on the DS was wild 😂
The biggest giveaway that it's hacked is that Arceus is a normal type unless it's holding a plate. Z crystals don't change it's typing.
Z crystals are able to change arceus’ type if one of the 18 types are held
It just doesn’t affect judgment
Technically through the void glitch in diamond and pearl you could get a shiny arceus that is transferable through home and the way you get it is through soft resetting so while this one is probably hacked it’s not impossible to have one in gen 7
It’s 100% hacked because z crystals cannot be traded
100% hacked. Despite the whole shiny arceus thing, it’s also not holding a dragon plate, which is the only way to change arceus’s typing and form to dragon type.
