Has anyone every had something like this happen? Someone started trading me shinies in festival plaza, over and over again. They asked me to trade and everything I assume they must be hacked or something, but they literally kept asking for the least rare Pokemon I had (I was trying to make legitimate offers and they kept asking everytime I came across something not rare). The person put up a message "I am looking for a certain Pokemon" to start, which is not a message I have seen before, so I am not sure how you can say something like that. Here is the list of Pokemon I got w/ held item (seem like ideal natures for the most part, the one thing that makes me feel less bad is that they aren't all perfect IVs, although mostly good and the few lv 100s were hyper trained):
Rowlet - Gold bottle cap and HA
Litten - Gold bottle cap and HA and fake out
Popplio - Gold bottle cap and HA and female
Rockroff - Gold bottle cap, HA, multiple egg moves
Salandit - Gold bottle cap
Blacephalon - Gold bottle cap
Volbeat - LV 100, HA
Illumise - Gold bottle cap, Lv 100, HA
Linoone - Lv 100, HA, extreme speed
Nihelego - Gold bottle cap
Araquanid - Lv 100
Suicune - Not shiny, HA, Gameboy logo (must have come from Crystal VC)
Most are already EV trained as well.
I think it was going to keep happening, but after saying Thank you a lot of times, I said I had no more Pokemon I wanted to trade, because I was feeling strange about it.
Anyway, I'm worried i'm going to get in trouble or something. Should I use the items, should I use the Pokemon? I have been traded clearly hacked Pokemon before and there were very obvious signs they were hacked. On these, all the information about them seems legitimate. A lot are hatched from eggs, and I know with masuda method and shiny charm, shinies are a lot easier (but not this kind of easy). I guess I assume they are cloned and he was just showing off what he collected or something?
Is there any possible motif here anyone could think of/is there any risk to me using the Pokemon and items? I have them in their own special box for now because I don't want to risk getting a virus or getting in trouble. (I have never heard of a traded Pokemon containing a virus - other than Pokerus of course - is this even possible?).
I am personally not in support of hacking, but I am curious what people would do in this situation. Thank you
