The Greatest: Max. Optimizer's birthday giveaway ft. shiny Celebi (+ proof)
Introduction:
Best greetings fellow Smogon users, it is giveaway time!
Today is my 26th birthday and I wanted to celebrate this with all of you!
Some of you might remember my "Bird Set Free" giveaway, during which I gave away 50 copies of my shiny Lugia and 50 copies of my shiny Ho-Oh. Well, today I welcome the opportunity to officially give away the last remaining member of the trio: my shiny Celebi!
Since Celebi is a Mythical Pokémon, it cannot be traded over the GTS. This means that I will distribute the Celebis via direct trade. Since this is fairly time-consuming, and, since I am considerably busy with my studies these days, I will only give away 10 copies this time around. Thank you for your understanding.
This giveaway comes with a little twist! You will have to draw something for me in order to win a Celebi! Read the rules down below for more information.
It is, just like the rest of my Pokémon, fully redistributable, which means that you are allowed to trade it. Feel free to add it to your trade thread here on Smogon and feel free to trade it with as many of your friends outside of Smogon as much as you like! As per usual, the goal of my giveaways is not just to make people happy in general, but also to spark off additional trading and communication between community members!
It can be traded to both SuMo and USUM games, which means that, if you do not have the USUM games (yet), you will still be able to participate!

I caught this Pokémon with a Master Ball at the Ilex Forest shrine on my Pokémon Crystal version for the Virtual Console.
Since ball types are not retained in Generation 1 and 2 games, its ball became a regular Pokéball after transferring it to Generation 7 via Poké Transport.
The Celebi from the Virtual Console version of Pokémon Crystal is the only legal Celebi that can be shiny.
The Celebi from the Virtual Console version of Crystal is also the only legal Celebi that has access to the moves Curse, Sweet Scent, Detect and Nightmare (TM03, TM12, TM43 and TM50 in Pokémon Crystal).
This Pokémon was soft-reset manually: this means that no tools (such as e.g. PKMN-NTR bots or Lua scripts) or glitches were involved in the hunt for this Pokémon.
I started soft-resetting on the 28th of January 2018 and I finally encountered the shiny Celebi on the 7th of February 2018 at 13:18 p.m after soft-resetting for 11 days.
The odds of encountering a shiny Pokémon are 1/8192 in Generation 2 games.
I referred to this "Exp. Points
Nature" table (courtesy of TheMantyke) to assure a Bold nature for it.
I finished the Alola Ribbon Master on the 7th of February 2018.
Sakiko (written: 咲子 or 紗己子) is a feminine Japanese given name, composed of the two Japanese words 咲 (saki) meaning "blossom" and 子 (ko) meaning "child".
