If the only thing you're worried about is that your event legendaries have good natures and flawless/near-flawless IVs, and nothing about them is suspicious, chances are that they were RNG'd. RNG'd Pokemon are 100% legal. You do not have to use any outside program to manipulate the game in any way (like AR or Gameshark would). Really basically, all you have to do is find what seed those stats would be generated on, then change the clock on your game to find that seed and advance a certain number of frames by walking. You can read more about how it works here.
Basically, there's nothing wrong with those Pokemon. Also, Bad Eggs have only been one isolated incident and so far, no one else has reported getting them.
As for who would give these Pokemon away for a Lugia and a Blazikenite, I traded a legal shiny near-flawless Mew the other day for a Blazikenite. I was also planning on giving some Mews out on Wonder Trade, but it turns out you can't trade event-only Pokemon on Wonder Trade. There are some nice people out there who will trade you nice things. Everyone considers different things valuable in Pokemon. Some people don't care for legendaries. Some people don't care for shinies. Everyone's different. If you're really that worried about them being hacks, look up the Trainer ID on Pokecheck and see if anything comes up. If you find any legendaries or flawless Pokemon under that ID number, run the legality checker on it and see if any of that person's Pokemon are hacked. You can also visit the Hack Check Thread and ask about them there. Dewey911 is particularly good at picking out hacks.
If you still don't want the Meloetta and the Darkrai, I'll take them off your hands.

Call me old-fashioned, but for me the fun of playing the game is...actually playing the game. SR'ing is as far as I stretch that definition. Breeding Eevees in all of my free time for a week to finally get a Modest, Flawless one with Anticipation gives me a sense of accomplishment. I'm unable to achieve any sense of accomplishment through manipulaitng the RNG or just plain hacking in the Pokémon I want.
Honestly though, I can't get too bothered by it, because neither of the things I traded represented much for me either. I SR'd the Event Torchic for Adamant 31 Atk (before I knew HA Males could pass on the Ability), but I've still got two more spares. The Lugia was on a used copy of Soul Silver and I've still got my Dream Radar Lugia anyway. As long as version 1.3 doesn't suddenly decide to implement a better hack checker and turn them into bad eggs, then I guess it doesn't really matter much. Although, from what I've read about Bank, it can't even tell that Totodile doesn't belong in a Master Ball and Gengar can't be level 1, so they seem to be miles away from a decent hack checker and it seems like detecting RNG would be completely impossible.
That being said though, I don't necessarily want these. I've asked the other person if they want to trade back, but if they say no, I'll probably just cut my losses and get rid of them.

Oh! I completely forgot about RNG. Never used it myself, that's why I didn't consider it. But, RNG must be indeed the case here. I've played with cheat codes & emulators in the old RSE days - but the only time I got Bad Eggs is when you hack a severely corrupted Pokemon (from my experience). So, I always thought Bad Eggs will always be in a hacker's cartridge & there was no way of trading a Pokemon which could later on become a Bad Egg. Could you give a link to the incident?

You have to obtained all the Pokémon (aside from events of course).

I'd recommend the use of Thunder Wave because not only will it slow your opponent down, but it will also have a 1/4 chance they can't attack. It also lasts until the Pokemon either becomes unparalyzed or faints, unlike Tailwind. Tailwind is something that is more used in doubles and triples because more advantage can be gained from it.
In the past you have needed one so I'd assume the same this generation.
can an IV guru help me out? i am trying to find out if this is a "perfect" poke. IV judge says it is outstanding, with greatest potential in HP, attack, defense, and sp. def. stats like that cannot be beat. currently MMing 2 outstanding gastlys to try and get a white mega gengar.

I'd say you're going to at least want perfect speed IVs. With every other stat, as long as it's like 28-30, it's usually good enough, but not having max Speed can and will screw you over if you're not careful.
31/x/31/31/31/31 is what is effectively "perfect", in reference to your earlier question, btw.

I'm pretty confident that these aren't hacked. I will trade you something for them. There's nothing wrong with not liking RNG, but that doesn't make RNG'd Pokemon not legal. It would be a waste to release two perfectly good event Pokemon when there are people out there who missed the event who want them. Also, Nintendo and Game Freak will NEVER be able to detect RNG because RNG is not illegal. RNG'd Pokemon are created by the game. Even if they could detect it, the Pokemon still get passed because there's nothing wrong with them. Furthermore, even if you did have hacked Pokemon, they aren't going to turn into Bad Eggs. That was ONE incident in Australia and the guy who got them thinks that it was a corrupted SD card, not a bad Pokemon that caused it.
The Bad Egg incident can be found here. Keep in mind that this guy used one 3DS and two copies of the game - one X and one Y - and got the Bad Egg problem both times. Therefore it is a hardware problem on his 3DS, NOT a problem with X and Y.
Yes you will.
