Celebi's max stats?

[~Bent~]

I have a query.

Basically, a guy at SPPf says that he once (in '01) obtained a cartridge full of Celebis as a UK Nintendo promotion. I've looked through old news articles, and that event apparently did happen.

He took pictures of one Celebi. Here they are:

He also posted pictures of the box that the Silver cartridge came in.

The thing is, the Celebi's level 47 and yet its Special Attack and Special Defense are both 121. According to Donald's Pokemon Crystal FAQ, the max stats for a Celebi at level 50 (besides HP) are 120.

I'm wondering if Donald's guide is inaccurate, or if this guy is a sharker. Does anyone have a definitive proof of the max stats of a level 50 (or 47, if possible) Celebi from GSC?

Celebi has a base Sp.Atk and Sp.Def of 100. So, assuming the maximum IV of 15 for both, and the maximum effective EV of 252 for both... let's see.

(15 + 2 × 100 + 252/4) × 47/100 + 5 = 135, rounded down. (Assuming the same formula is used in both GSC and RSE.)

4 EVs = 1 stat point at level 100, not level 50.

What's the original formula? Just curious.

(IV + 2 × Base + EV/4) × Level/100 + 5
