I got a shiny Meltan trading and it says that it was from Pokemon Go, but when I go into HOME to check my boxes, my other Meltan has a G on it, but the shiny one does not. It is probably hacked.

I have a suspicious Guzzlord that was caught in US/UM that is Italian and was caught in a Poke Ball and not a Beast Ball like they are supposed to be. Is it hacked or can you do that?

Watch out for link trades where they offer up Ultra Beasts or Legendaries for normal Pokemon, last night someone tried to trade me an MG.discord.co shiny Tapu Koko for an Eevee name drampa plz. Some people will crash their game because they want to disable trades for you. I was trying to evolve my Swirlix into a Slurpuff and they showed me a Pokemon named volcanon plz and I didn't have one named don't have, so I tried to send them Swirlix and they crashed their game with a glitched Dratini and I

25 Anonymous Anonymous about 5 yearsReport

weird question, but someone just sent me a perfect shiny munchlax and I have wanted to have a gigamax snorlax, but if I do use this pokemon in raid battles online, will anything happen? (which idk but I do think it's hacked. it's too suspicious to get such a good pokemon in surprise trade) I'm just not sure how these things work. >.<
