Can you trade an XD Gale of Darkness Lugia to your game?

Question

My friend Giacomo said you could. I don't believe him or have the game, but I still need some proof.

Answer 1

He's lying. You cannot trade a Shadow Lugia to your GBA game. You can trade a purified Shadow Lugia, however.

>You can only trade purified Pokemon. You cannot trade Shadow Pokemon, because the GBA games don't have the data for shadow moves.
