Can you trade shiny event necrozma with link trade on SWSH?

Jun. 24, 2020

Awhile ago I link traded for a shiny necrozma and everything checked out, it was even in a cherish ball, seems legit. But for some reason only now has it popped into my mind that I’ve read that people have said they werent able to trade cherishball Pokemon. Is the shiny necrozma legit?

Any Pokémon can be traded to anyone through link trades, but almost every event Pokémon nowadays has a special event ribbon that prevents it from going up on GTS or Wonder Trade. A lot of hackers will try recreating event Pokémon with everything except the ribbon, so that they can still trade them on GTS/WT.

Can you trade it: Yes. In sword and shield you can trade any Pokemon to anybody

Is it legit: probably not. Shiny necrozma was released in one event in South Korea about a year and a half ago. The chances that somebody would trade that are very slim and it would be a lot easier to just hack them in and then trade them away
