Is using 8F in Pokemon Red to make shiny Pokemon illegal?

Feb. 28, 2017

I was just using verlisify guide to get a Mew and I found that I can make shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Red, is it illegal or not? Can I use the Pokemon online? I really want to though :/

‘Legal’ and ‘Moral’ are different things. Legally, only the Base Stat Total and stuff like illegal moves matter. Morally? Most people oppose hacking and see it as cheating.I take a middle ground. I had my Gardevoir and Latias hacked to be shiny, and Kyurem turned 6 IV, with the two dragons having fixes to their natured.Legally, they’re 100% possible in game without hacking, but morally? Most people get irked when I mention I got them hacked.

So it’s rather opinionated. I wouldn’t hack event legends… As this makes them illegal unless the original even was for a shiny anyway.
