I have a Shiny Latios/Latias Pair i recieved from an ex Event collector. Stated these were hunted by himself, but the stats had me questioning it for the longest time

Both are from the Johto Region
Both Timid Nature
Both Nature explanation is Takes plenty of Siestas
Both 61V
Latios in Moon Ball
Latias in Premier Ball

is it possible for one to get these results back in HG SS without cheats?

Almost certainly hacked.

Definitely hacked. Especially since the nature is the same and the perfect stats. And the Premier ball... it's not easy to catch anything in one of those.

Perfect IVs alone are one of the main signs of a hack job as the chances of that being rolled legitimately are below 1%. The shininess, duplicate natures, and characteristics and the Moon Ball are just enforcing it.

I caught Lugia in a Great Ball on the first attempt in Silver so meh, I wouldn't write that one off entirely.
