I wonder traded and my partner had a instagram link in their bio, what does that mean?

Question

I was wonder trading and a girl named CakeLife16 and her message said: #CakeLife16Insta and what did I get from her? A shiny Lv 100 Mew. Did she hack this Pokemon and if so, will it corrupt my saved data?

Answer 1

No, it doesn't have anything to corrupt your data. Well, there is some ways to get a shiny mew, but I think that mew is hacked. Don't worry, I had the same problem too. Your saved data is safe.

Answer 2

The link in the bio is a self promotion, similarly to how Machamps.com names all their Pokémon Machamps.com, to promote their website, where they sell hacked Pokémon.

Yes, the Mew is most likely hacked, but it won't harm your game.
