If I cloned my legitimately obtained Pokemon, would the clone still be legitimate?
Sep. 9, 2020Aight so, on today’s episode of Ty’s Shiny Hunting in UM….
I shiny hunt a lot. I love shiny hunting. And recently I’ve come to the dilemma “Do I want to move my shinies to Sword or not?” and have come to the conclusion of “Why don’t I clone my ‘mons and transfer the clones over?”
I did in the past. Since everything about the shiny was legit, bank and home let me transfer the clones over. I can even GTS them off if I wanted to.
However, I am morally conflicted. If I do this, will my shinies still be considered legit? Sure, the game accepts them as legit, but are they really?

This is an ethical question that has plagued Pokemon players for decades.
Do you think they are?
People have different opinions on the matter. Some say all clones are illegitimate, others consider them fine as long as the source was legit. I personally side with the latter, but it’s a matter of opinion. Be careful if you trade them – the recipient may not have the same opinion as you.
Hope I helped!
