Answer 1

If its shiny then it might be hacked or they a shiny growlithe my mistake and caught it. The Japanese name doesn't mean anything expect for its traded from someone in Japan i have a Lugia and Latios with Japanese names and i can't seem to find the name deleter where you can remove names and give it new ones.
