so heres what happened. i was never able to get a mew on sept. 30, so, i bought a game on ebay with a authentic mew on it. i know the tr4ainer info blah blah and everything looks real but,it has the pokerus. im confused since you cant get the pokerus in leafgreen,so im a little worried i got scammed.the ot is mystry and the id is 063006 or w/e. is there anyway a sharked mew or something can have that info.if so,how do you know if it is real?.........opinions?

Most of the time those are complete fakes.

They claim to use machines nintendo uses to upload "legit Pokemon" when in all actuality, there's no such thing as a legit lv 5 Mew in the games, only 10 (not your case, just stating).

It was probably a fake.

well,mine is at level 10 and all the trainer info is right but it just seems too good to be true to have the pkrs.

pretty bad typo. the number was entirley different.

event mews were never released with the ot of 'red' in 3rd gen games at least.

you can use pokemon maker and enter all the 'legit' details. very easily done. as long as you know its secret id, that has been available on the internet since a few hours after the event was on.

very easy to fake one.

you can find pokerus in LG, it just doesn't spread to other pokemon!

If you were at the event like I was, you'd notice that the trainer you traded with (the trainer on the cartridge) was named red. This is because the OT id is mystry but was made on the nintendo machines and then downloaded onto a cartridge where they named the guy red.
And anything you buy off ebay is almost a guarunteed fake (especially if they offer more than one legendary and everyone seems to have pokerus).
The info a legit Mew will have is this:
ID# 06930
OT name: MYSTRY
Met: in a fateful encounter at lvl 10
And even that info was available within minutes of the event.... so anything with that info could be fake (especially shiny mews since nintendo denies ever having any at the event).
