Err, I'm new to all this non-basic Pokemon stuff so I have no idea what these are. I got them in a random trade...

There real they are event pokemon

Wow. Then, thanks for giving them to me! That really was a surprise...

IDK about this one. Who would catch a regular Shinx with a master ball? The moves it can have, but then again, who would waste 3 TMs on a Lvl 3 Shinx? If you aren't going to use it, I would suggest getting rid of it.

i was prepared to masterball my first shiny (i didn't have to but just saying) & i taught it them TM's - i have 90+ of each from the dept store after nearly 500 elite 4 defeats

with all due respect - if you don't know what you're talking about you shouldn't give advice in this thread

back to the important bit - what level is it? (i know i traded it to you but it was random junk from the GTS so i took no notice of it)

level 3 (i knew that) them stats do look dodgy - i'll breed one for you myself dude - just release it

***EDIT***
you sure it's not adamant??? them stats give IV's of 10-31/0-3/0-31/0-19/0-31/10-31 at level 3 - well within the "legit" range...

It's not adamant, and I'll just release it because I'm worried about it. Thanks for the help, and you don't have to breed one unless you really want to...

hmm that's weird i had it listed as adamant & the stats correlate with that nature...

i'll breed another oner for you if you want to trade that one back - i need to find out what's happened with this one! :-/

With all due respect, he would have said if it were shiny. Anyway, Shinx are common. Just get someone to breed or catch you one.

*facepalm* I said that what you were talking about in your post was wrong.

It wasn't shiny.

What? That isn't even about the questionable GTS Shinx he had!

look if it's about the other shinx she has well that one's shiny as well - regardless of whether it is shiny or not is STILL irrelevant - here's the bottom line:

1- it was caught in a master ball (doesn't automatically make it a hack)
2- it has VERY common TM's taught to it (get a clue)

so don't advise people to release a pokemon based on your "feelings" dude - the stats were the determining factor here & that was what means it is hacked - your "hunches" are not helpful to anyone

Never mind! I don't want to get infracted for arguing with someone like you.

what - people that have called you out? you can argue all you want but you're still wrong to tell people to release a pokemon for the reasons you gave - that's not debatable

i'm thinking this pokemon was simply migrated, but since i was traded a legendary yesterday only to find out from the person who traded that it was hacked, i just want to be sure. (i trust the person who traded it, but after yesterday...)

Wishmaker Jirachi came out in 2004, at level five. would it be then accurate to say it was simply migrated to D/P/Pt and taught a fourth move?

yes, more than likely it was leveled up then migrated. I don't see anything suspicious.

thanks. i was mostly unclear of how to obtain Wishmaker Jirachi, and wondered if the fact that it was in a Pokeball was off. good to know, then.

All event Pokémon in Gen III came in Poké Balls. The Cherish Ball was only introduced in IV.
