Especially considering it comes from Wonder Trade and does not say that there was a link trade involved, it's almost definitely hacked.
can the shiny xerneas event not be japanese, as in if the player chose english language on a japanese game?
Yes; Gen. 6 events can be in any language since it depends on the language of the game it comes from.

No ribbon? Max IVs from an event? Hacked.

Long time no see.
Can 10 ANIV Pokémon be shiny?

I have three Naive Pikachus that I got from a Platinum game that I bought on eBay and each of them are shiny. I'm pretty sure they are clones too because they all are "somewhat of a clown."

Crap. Read through the last couple pages and just realized I got scammed :/

Traded a legit self-obtained event Diancie for a "legit" event Xerneas. It looks legit until you see it has no ribbon.

Luckily I had 3 of those events so it wasn't a total loss. I didn't even spend time soft resetting for that one.

If you still have the PMs from the trade, you could could post those in the blacklist thread. That doesn't help you, but it prevents that person from scamming other people.

Wasn't on this website. Was on another forum. I was just pointing out that this thread is doing its job :(

While a Moon Ball Sableye is possible as they can be found in swarms in HG, the one you have here is not because it has its hidden ability. You cannot have a HA and Apricorn ball on the same Pokémon.

It's a Generation VI egg, right? What happens if you breed a male Prankster Sableye with a female Moon Ball Sableye? As of Generation VI, the Hidden Abilities get passed from either gender, right? I'm genuinely curious whether it works this way.

A male can pass down his Hidden Ability only when he's bred with a Ditto.

Huh. Good to know. Thanks!

So yeah. That Sableye would be hacked. There are so many hacks with Apricorn balls...

Everything looks legit.
Ot: x y & z
ID number: 10295
Except for the date.

Somehow the date is in 2011.
Its very weird since everything else is perfect.

You can change the date on your DS and that'll be the date that shows up.

Oh okay lol. I was worried for a minute.

Thatd a bit weird, though.

Also, change the date of a 3DS to get certain event is really common, I know plenty people who changes the date to avoid a possible date that match with the Power Save date release. However, it is important to track the origin of the pokemon, did you got it straight from the OT or from someone else. With the provided information the best thing we can take is a guess of the legality, but that is not really accurate if you are concerned with the legitimacy.
