So I was randomly browsing the GTS looking up one of my favorite Pokémon, Arcanine. As I looked through the results I got this. That is a very interesting looking dog.

Haha, nice xD

It happens to me a LOT

yeah same here

I've seen this before. I'm guessing they are bad hacks.

when i tried trading one of my Arceus's (Arcei?), It got a Missingno picture...

LOL Nice

I Have Seen Funnier Though

I Was Looking For A Darkrai And It Came Up With A Magikarp
LOL!

I think it means it has already been traded, and they still havent come back for it yet, but Im not sure. Ive seen it a lot too though.

This is a common glitch. The GTS screws up the species and image of the PokeMon. The ACTUAL species is displayed as the nickname, and the species and image get messed up, and then the only way this glitch is reversed is when the OT recalls the PokeMon from the GTS which always happens because the glitch renders the PokeMon useless.

I always thought it was a glitch?
