Someone gifted me 11 shiny pokemon + a mew and I question how legit they are. I tried to check everything but they look fairly legit? I tested the online mystery trade and seems okay. Really want to make sure they are legit though. I really don't want fakes to ruin my game. It all came from one person.

I have them all in this video.

you can easily make fake pokemon legit.

Just give them the correct place of origin, stats and moves and it's impossible to tell if it's fake or not

The code is exactly the same in the end. when done correct they are identical. at legit price money tournaments pretty much all those pokemons are hacked with max stats possible yet it is within legit bounds. they can't spot if it's a fake or not only if the competitor is dumb enough to admit he/she is using hacked mons.

I'll take that hacked shiny Flapple off your hands so you won't have to worry about it

Hell, I'd trade a legit shiny Corsola with HA for it
