Dealing with Hacked Pokémon from GTS: What Can I Do?

EpicGamer88 - February 13, 2025

I’m really frustrated right now. I just traded away a Jirachi for an Iron Leaves and then put it on the GTS, hoping to get a Walking Wake in return. Unfortunately, I ended up with a genned Walking Wake that has a site for its nickname. I’m really upset because I lost both my Jirachi and Iron Leaves in this process. Is there anything I can do about it? Can I even use this genned Walking Wake in my battle team without risking my account?

That sounds super frustrating! Sorry you had to go through that. If it seems like the Walking Wake is hacked, it’s safer to avoid using it in official battles because it could put your account at risk. Just to be safe, I recommend reaching out to official support for help with this situation. Hang in there!

HaxHunter - February 14, 2025

If it was a problem, it probably wouldn’t have passed through the GTS system. Maybe consider this a lesson learned about trading? Just be cautious next time!

PokeMasterXxX - February 14, 2025

You could still use it in-game or for casual matches with friends if they’re cool with it. Just definitely steer clear of ranked battles or tournaments with it, since that’s risky!

PokeFanGirl01 - February 14, 2025

Aww man, that’s such a bummer! I was really looking forward to using it in ranked too.
