Is cloning Pokémon and trading them illegal?

I have been doing a glitch that allows you to clone Pokémon, I have been cloning a shiny solgaleo but I’m starting to wonder if I’m going to get banned or not?

History says you aren’t going to be banned for cloning Pokemon. Cloning Pokemon has been commonplace for years and is rife within the competitive community. We can assume that the developers would prefer that you didn’t abuse glitches, but they haveonly ever taken action against people who edited their save files– and apparently,that only happened to people who weren’t very smart about their hacking. That’s not to mention how difficult it is to prove that a normal-looking Pokemon is cloned or hacked in the first place.

At the end of the day, the standing of cloned Pokemon depends on who you ask. Some people would be very upset that the Pokemon they received was cloned, and others would not care at all. If you’re trying to be ethical, then I would advise against circulating illegitimate Pokemon in the Y-Comm, and I certainly wouldn’t send cloned Pokemon in online trading forums with a legitimacy policy. But I don’t think you have to worry about being banned.

I’ve made my research, and it is not illegal to clone Pokémonexceptif the original is NOT legit. Hope this helped, ChickenMan!!!
