XY wifi battles: possible hacker?

Question

Well I was trying out wifi battles, in the second battle I play, this guy is using a MEWTWO. I thought those types of legendaries are banned during play, but this guy used a full fledged Mega Mewtwo Y on me (I still won with my mad skillz). Did he hack or am I missing out on the fun?

This was in the battle spot BTW

Answer 1

You're missing out on the fun.
Any and all Pokemon are allowed to be used on Passerby/Acquaintance/Friend WiFi Battles.
Same with Battle Spot. Any and all Pokemon can battle in the Battle Spot.

However, mythical/legendary Pokemon are banned in rated battles.

It doesn't matter. On the battlespot NO pokemon are banned.

As for where he got the mewto, you can get it in the Pokemon village.

Only in free battles, not rating battles
