There's conflicting information about that. I heard a while ago that it was possible to get a Shiny one, but then someone said that it wasn't possible after all. This has been going on for a while now, and I think it's best to just assume that all Shiny Celebi are hacked. Unless someone brings up concrete proof that they exist, I won't believe that Celebi can be Shiny.

Actually it is possible to get a shiny celebi. You know the bonus disc for pokemon colleseum that lets you get jirachi? in japan, that bonus disc let you get celebi. and since you get an infinite amount of them, you now have the possibility of getting a shiny one.
...or at least, I think so. I'm not entirely sure if it can generate shiny's...
someone look it up, I'm too lazy :p

Yup, that is 100% true. IF you get it through the bonus disk, you should be fine.

The games were released in Japan on September 18th. Not that the date totally matters, as someone could have easily changed it, but it looks legit.

Well, I checked serebii.net's BW pokedex and, in fact, cubchoo is catchable all seasons. And it isn't exactly impossible leveling up a pokemon until its maximum level in two days... yeah, maybe I'll keep this beartic (I hope).

So is any Pokemon with an original trainer ID number of 00000 hacked?
I recently recieved a lvl 100 DW Entree Forest Umbreon over GTS that looks great, I think, except for the ID # fact. Help please. :)

That's a definite hack.

No it's not "definitely a hack."
00000 is a possible ID/SID. I've RNG'd for that ID before.

It do think that the Umbreon is probably hacked but I'm just pointing out that 00000 is a possible ID/SID.

So yeah I spent a week hatching dancing monkeys and got this gem. All perfect Iv's except for sp attack. I bred it with a Darmanitan from a friend who had the same Iv's minus sp defense but I suspect he bred it from a hack. So is this a illegal too? If it is I'm going to cry... I don't want to trade in illegal goods, again.
