all three legendary birds are in the game. apparently, you have to try to battle them at least 12 times. Then they will go to the sea spirit's den where you can actually battle them.
So do legendaries come with full perfect or only in 3 stats? If only in 3, does anyone have an estimate of what Xerneas his SpAtk and Speed should be for perfect IVs right after catching?
Is there something new in this Gen or why would they have any default-perfect IVs at all?
Well, if there really are at least 3 auto-perfect IVs, it should be quite easy to check with a few catches and noting down stats. (do you have the masterball at that point, to speed up the process?)
You should obtain it (way) before the battle, but it doesn't really matter, since many of the people on Smogon as well as people elsewhere tested it, it doesn't matter.
If so many people tested it, why do we not know if it's 3 perfect IVs or all perfect IVs?
Update on my last post, I have someone willing to lend me their Moltres.
If anyone has an Articuno to lend me, I wanna take all 3 birds to the Den for possibly Lugia.

Don't bother. It has been tested that that doesn't work.
Does Xerneas have different forms? What kind are there?
But wouldn't it still be impossible to RNG them because they start out roaming? It seems like you're banking on the chance that their stats aren't generated until the final encounter in the Sea Spirit Den...
I just caught Yveltal in a quick ball. No messing about first turn nothing else required.
Was this a fluke of pokenature or is the capture rate for this one excessively low?
