Fake Shiny Pokemon

[Holofoil]

Is there a way of telling if a pokemon is legitimate/not legitimate? Cos i got a shiny pikachu and my friend won't believe me, he thinks I hacked it or used one of those cheating device things...

in theory there isnt
but if you show him the location of where you caught it
it migh make him think its legit :D

hmmm ok. Cos before getting it I told him that I've got a friend who gets fake ones, and he has loads of shinies, so he thinks I got it from him now lol

[Heart Break Kid]

lol ah right :P

well lets hope he finds out the truth :P
whatever it may be xD

If there was a specific way to tell it'd be great. I get all my Pokemon from the games at work. I think I have a legit Kyogre and Groudon and Rayquaza but I dunno because I didn't get them myself. :P
