*Note that Legitimate does not inherently mean [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]], it is possible to encounter Pokémon during normal gameplay that have otherwise impossible attributes, and the [[The Pokémon Company]] would consider unauthorized. | *Note that Legitimate does not inherently mean [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]], it is possible to encounter Pokémon during normal gameplay that have otherwise impossible attributes, and the [[The Pokémon Company]] would consider unauthorized. | ||
** 1★ [[Wild_Area_News/2020#April_28_to_May_11.2C_2020|Wild Area News]] {{p|Drilbur}} with {{m|Hydro Pump}} is an example of a Pokémon that was legitimately obtainable but considered [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Illegal|Illegal]], as it was programmed with a [[Game move errors|game move error]]. The game does not permit its use online nor official tournaments, and several hours after the mistake was discovered [[GameFreak]] had fixed the erroneous Wild Area News data to replace Hydro Pump with the correct move, {{m|Scratch}}. | ** 1★ [[Wild_Area_News/2020#April_28_to_May_11.2C_2020|Wild Area News]] {{p|Drilbur}} with {{m|Hydro Pump}} is an example of a Pokémon that was legitimately obtainable but considered [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Illegal|Illegal]], as it was programmed with a [[Game move errors|game move error]].

** These situations are typically handled case-by-case. As a counter example, the 5★ [[Tera Raid Battle]] [[Female]] {{p|Indeedee}} with the error move {{m|Trick Room}} is not blocked from online use, and in early December 2022 even saw prior restrictions removed, permitting raids with the erroneous move to be hosted online to other players. In a situation like this, it could be argued the developers consider this error to be both [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]] and Legitimate, despite the similar circumstances to the aforementioned Drilbur with Hydro Pump. | ** These situations are typically handled case-by-case.

*Additionally, the state of the savefile itself is generally not taken into account when determining the legitimacy of an individual Pokémon. Even if the savefile is in an unnatural state via glitches, cheats, save editing, etc., if the generation/encounter conditions of a Pokémon are unaffected, a savefile in an unnatural state can still produce Legal and Legitimate Pokémon. | *Additionally, the state of the savefile itself is generally not taken into account when determining the legitimacy of an individual Pokémon.

**As an example, using a glitch that warps the player to an area early, but does not alter the encounter conditions of Pokémon found in that area, would generate Pokémon in an identical manner to a player who arrived in that area under normal gameplay conditions. | **As an example, using a glitch that warps the player to an area early, but does not alter the encounter conditions of Pokémon found in that area, would generate Pokémon in an identical manner to a player who arrived in that area under normal gameplay conditions. | ||
