Mew or Arceus in a GTS trade?

Question

So I have a mew in Alpha Sapphire, I believe it is completely legit, but I can't remember exactly. Some people on the GTS want a mew in exchange for a shiny Arceus. Sometimes, he'll (it?) be holding a plate. What I want to know is if that would be a good trade or not.

Comments

If you're entirely sure the Arceus is legit, i'd say go for it.

It's not even possible for an Arceus to be deposited into the GTS.

It is Crimson I've seen it,got it, and used it.

Answer 1

I'd say it would be fair (well, maybe not for the receiver) if your Mew was normal but the Arceus was shiny. But really, it's up to you.

Answer 2

In my opinion, it's a bad trade. Shiny Arceus are all over the GTS, I've owned about 5 of them at one point or another. Mew is MUCH more exclusive; there are zero on the GTS and they are very hard to come by.
