It looks fine; it's one of the possible OTs from the Singing Pikachu events.

Tauros is 100% hacked as HA Pokemon cannot be in Apricorn Balls. Delphox I'm guessing is hacked as well given the fact that it came from Wonder Trade, is female (with a 1/8 chance of being a female), shiny, and having perfect IVs for a competitive Special Attacker. I doubt anyone would give away a legitimate shiny like that over Wonder Trade.

Got a GTS find to check, and may have some more before the day is through.

thanks Greedi Chibi. the tauros was very suspicious due to HA apricorn. i had slightly better hopes for delphox but any battle ready pkmn with battle item makes it suspicious.

It just seems like a BW2 Hidden Grotto RNG. Perfectly normal. I assume it was RNGed with that IV spread to make Hidden Power Fire (31/31/30/30/31/30) easier to pass down in Generation VI.

Thank you! I just wasn't sure it was even possible since I've never played BW or BW2 and I definitely have never RNG'd anything.

Gible and its evolutions can't be caught in any Apricorn Balls, so it's hacked.
Are all 6IV Shinys hacked?
It depends.

In gen 3 and 4, there are only certain natures that can be 6IV with RNG abuse (with some exceptions, see the OP)
In gen 5, I believe any combination of nature/IVs/shininess is possible with RNG abuse
In gen 6, 6 IVs are possible with TSV abuse (must be from an egg obtained via link trade)
And of course, shiny-locked events/legendaries can't be 6IV (make sure to pay attention if they could be shiny in the game/region they came from)

So no, while many 6IV shinies are hacked, many are still perfectly legal (whether RNG and TSV is "hacking" is up to you)

Ive hatched a 6IV shiny buneary before via masuda method I mean it's the only 6Iv shiny outta like 13-15000 eggs but it's possible without TSV abuse

Of course, the methods I described were just the most common ways to "cheat the system", but perfect 5IVs, 6IVs, and HP shinies are still possible by pure luck, just extremely rare.
