Actually, if it came from the Hoenn region (therefore Gen III), is Jolly and has 6IV, doesn't that automatically make it a hack? Jolly isn't on the list of natures that allowed for 6IV spread.

Got u fam. ;3
(Reminds me that I was gonna test RNGing high-IV Shiny eggs to see if they followed the same rule. I'll try to look into that over this summer break.)

Jangmo-o... Let's see if someone else can confirm this, because I'm a bit rusty on Egg Move breeding.

Jangmo-o was hatched in December, a month and a half before Pokebank was out. Which means the Egg Moves must be from Pokemon in the Alola Dex. The Jangmo-o has 3 Egg Moves + Dragon Dance. I forgot how Egg Move breeding works, do each Egg Move Transfer, or do all 3 need to be from the same parent? One possibility is that the OT kept breeding each Egg Move onto it to create the perfect Shiny Jangmo-o, but I believe the stronger possibility is that someone hacked a non-Alola dex Pokemon in and bred for the Jangmo-o. Or it's just straight up hacked/illegal because it has all 3 Egg Moves. Hopefully someone can confirm or review this.

Mimikyu and Mareanie. Judging by the topic, you got it from the original owner, themoonblaster. I'd say that's legit, I haven't heard of that person being a hacker or anything.

I will confirm that all three eggs moves were completely obtainable in Sun/Moon pre-bank.

That's all I can confirm.
 
I want to get other opinions on these. I checked them myself and nothing seems wrong with them, but I haven't been in the competitive battling scene since 2014 so I don't know what combinations are legal or not, if the HAs are possible, etc. I really hate BR Shinies, which is why I'm really skeptical of these.

These are the kind of Shinies I really hate too, and the reason why I Wonder Traded all my collection.
I looked quickly and the only one I can be 99% sure is hacked is Crustle. The dates are weird but the thing that tips me off is the Nature vs IVs. It looks weird to me someone would breed a Flawless Shiny, with the wrong Nature. I'll (or other users) have to check for the other Pokémon's moveset and such.
 
99% this is hacked but found it funny and wanted to check anyways.

6IV wild caught so yes. (Though MAYBE possible via RNG? I'm not sure if it works for wild Pokemon, maybe Soaps can speak on this.)
 
Shiny Mienshao - Male, Lv.100, Pokeball
IVs:31/31/31/31/31 | EVs: 252 Sp.A. 252 Spe, X Sp.D. | Stats: 271/286/156/260/157/339
OT/ID: Liam/61898 | Nature/Ability: Jolly/Regenerator

Seems to have traveled across both space and time to reach you from the Hoenn region.
Characteristic: Somewhat vain

I got it from my Shop :D

Looks like the standard UU Life Orb set featured on Smogon. And because it's 6IV, I'd probably say hacked.
 
The Wailord and Meinshao are legal, unfortunately there isn't much of a way to determine their legitimacy status with the information given.

It could be legit with the info we have. However, seeing as someone named it "Your Mom" with a Naughty nature and a Burn Heal held item, I'd say that someone's having fun and you got... burned.
 
So we are ignoring the fact that it's wild-caught and also has 6IVs?? Even with the 4IV guarantee from SOS call that is crazy lucky, and on a Shiny too. Soapy even just said that wild RNG isn't possible at this time so that's out the window.
 
How to find out if a Pokemon is Shinified?

If those 'mons are in Cherish Balls, you can check whether the event distribution released them as shiny or not, or if they got a chance to be shiny.

If they were from a previous generation, like Gen3 (I'm not sure if Gen4 as well), you can check their nature+IV combo if it can be a shiny.

Other than those two, there's no way to know.
