How did I get a Rhydon when I requested Rhyperior on the GTS?

Question

I put a Conkeldurr up for Rhyperior on the GTS, but I got a LV 30 Rhydon. What happened?

Comments

Which game?

Doesn't Rhydon evolve from Rhyperior by trade?

---

Rhydon evolves into Rhyperior when you trade it while holding a Protector.

---

it was in x it did not come with  Protector and it has to be Rhyperior for it to go through

---

Actually it is because the xy Gts has weak security and he was a hacking troll.

---

If you trade-evolve a Pokémon, don’t you ‘absorb’ the item?

---

No he put the pokemon up for rhyperior so i don't know how nobody gets this but the gts was hacked to give him a rhydon.  Even if it had a protector it would be a rhydon until traded so the gts was hacked.

Answer 1

Either you mixed up the names and the Pokémon evolved or hacks were used.

I can’t tell you what hacks tho.

Your answer is better than SYL so +1

Answer 2

Actually you don't trade the held item with a Pokémon. Before you put it in the GPS it tells to remove the item.
Therefore the protector was removed and it didn't evolve.

If OP truly requested a Rhyperior and not a Rhydon, this explanation doesn't make sense.
