How do you get Celebi in Pokemon HeartGold?

Question

Without a Nintendo event, can you get it in game? And is is shiny huntable?

Answer 1

No, sorry.

Celebi is a Myhtical Pokemon which means it has only ever been obtainable (legitimately) via event.

Bulbapedia says it's obtainable in the virtual console games without events.

U can use the gen 4 event exploit and it's still legit

I looked at its bulbapedia page and it says it can only be obtained from events in HGSS, do you have a link to where it says that?

HGSS isn't a virtual console game.
