Legality Check Please for Shadow Butterfree XD

[BLACKBERREST3]

Perfect 31 IVs Butterfree. XDcheck & Pokefinder do not popup with this spread. When setting XDcheck to "other" (japanese name), you can get this spread, but this is normally how gift/pokespot pokemon would generate as they are less restricted when RNGing. Does this mean that some spreads are valid in the "other" tab in XDcheck or is this something I would have to manually check to be legal?

if you can find it with pokefinder

What version of pokefinder are you using? I would need to see the changelogs to see if the search method was updated from the version you are using or if it is just some graphical update that omits those results. When I use gen3 PID to IVs, it shows up in 4.2.1. When I use the regular search function in the latest pokefinder 4.2.1, it does not show up. However, in 4.2.0, the changelog says "Fix issue where IVs to PID was incorrect for XD/Colo" so I guess that this is a correct spread. I don't know why the search results are omitted then.

Only other way to fact check this is to do frame and seed manipulation in dolphin, but idk how to do that tbh. Eligor's tool doesn't show this spread either. Can't even generate it with the seed "6D0AA645" in pokefinder in the gamecube rng tab. RNG reporter generates it fine.
