Is the Shiny Jirachi event in Japan supposed to have its name in Japanese?

Question

I got a level 10 Shiny Jirachi with the blue pentagon and the move Moonblast. The name is in English. I was wondering if this is a legit Jirachi because it was a Japan only event. Is it possible to have a legit Japan event Pokemon from Japan with an English name?

Answer 1

Yep

The name is ジラーチ and since the OT is たなばた, you can't change its name.
That means the Jirachi you got is hacked, sorry.
