The Mono-type Man
Ok, i have been trying for ages to get this certain pokemon into my WIFI team on PBR. The problem is that it says it isnt allowed. I checked and it is always allowed on WIFI. It isnt Uber and it is a shiny Gengar. Now im not sure about this, but it might be hacked via Pokesav. I got it in a trade. Is this the reason? For it being hacked in Pokesav would that make it non-accessible in WIFI random battles? Also my cousin wants to know if that is the case, is there any way to get around it?
 
I have encountered the same problem several times before when trying to use various traded shinies on my battle pass. :/ Sounds like you were traded a hacked Gengar, and yes that's the reason it doesn't work. You won't be able to use it on wifi.

I haven't found a way to get around the wifi filter, but I haven't really tried.

There are hacks that make it onto wifi, I think that has to do with how well they are put together..

I hope that answers your question. ^_^
 
Thanks. I need to find out how to use it. Cause ive develop[ed an awsome strategy with it.
 
:< Yeah, it's seriously a bummer when that happens.

If you ever have other traded shinies and you want to check if they are legit, PBR can be useful. Initial upload will tell you if they are a bad egg, and then searching for battle on wifi will tell you if it's hacked in some way.

It's a good idea to check so you can prevent wasted training. :/
 
sigh...
It seems there are a lot of hacked pokemon these days.....
It's not all bad though (I guess :P )
There are hacks to get around it though.
 
If it has an illegal move or ability, it won't be able to get on wifi. Possibility #1
If it has impossible EV's, it would've been a bad egg, so elimenate that...
Thre was a glitch in wifi earlier, so try resetting your pass and make it over again. Possibility #2
Those might be the case... I'm not 100% sure, though.
