The real problem isn't about whether it can be shiny or not, the real problem is whether you can transfer one from Gen V or not.

Last time I checked, you can't, but maybe GF updated the server, I don't know. I'll have to check that again.

They changed it a few weeks ago so that you are able to transfer shiny Jirachis now; I was able to transfer mine.
Not sure if this can just be an RNG pokemon...

I couldn't find anything on that OT/TID, so I think it's just an RNG'd Feebas evolved to a Milotic.

Which is irrelevant since this appears to be egg-originated, whether or not the egg spreads are shiny do not depend upon the ID combination.

The Pokeball pattern is event only and cannot be bred. They were all level 12 and were never wild, could not be caught in Santalune Forest .
If it is Pokéball pattern then it's hacked.

All the details fit the non-event event patterns.

Took a quick glance at them, they look fine to me but someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Shiny Pokemon are hacked quite often, regardless of the fact that they have good/bad IVs. Usually they'll have good IVs though.

The Pokeball pattern is event only and cannot be bred. They were all level 12 and were never wild, could not be caught in Santalune Forest .
If it is Pokéball pattern then it's hacked.

All the details fit the non-event event patterns.

I know that lol you just repeated what i just said btw :p I was saying if its a event vivillion its a hack which i didn't say it was legal XD the reason why i said because the beginning he said it was a pokeball pattern which its shiny so hack if it was the pokeball pattern.

This same Mew has showed up here before, as PokeCheck was still active then and the Mew was there and was legal according to it's Legality Analysis (which is no longer available for viewing unfortunately).

Release it.

I highly believe it's edited to have flawless IVs since there's no RNG abuse for 6th gen and this isn't bred, I'd get rid of it.

Looks legal. The TID is a bit suspicious, but I couldn't find anything on it.
