So, I'm stuck at home due to some dental issues and I decided to spend the majority of my day on homework and Wonder Trading. I have boxes of adamant weedles, bold clefairys, and other breeding rejects. Throughout the day I got some meh trades, but around early after noon I got some amazing trades.
One trade was a Shiny, Hidden Ability, perfect Nature, perfect IVs, carrying Leftovers, and registered as non-hacked Bayleaf named Michael Bay.
Another trade was Shiny, Hidden Ability, perfect Nature, perfect IVs, carrying Prism Scale, and registered as non-hacked Feebas that evolved into a Milotic. It was also at level 100.
I think the coolest thing I got was a 6IV shiny Adamant Groudon. Honestly it was probably either RNGed, Hacked, or Cloned, but it's fun to have as it allowed me to see Shiny Primal Groudon. It was actually the second shiny legendary I got through wonder trade as the first was a shiny Kyurem. I also got a couple of impossible pokemon/poke ball combinations via wonder trade including a Dream Ball Furfrou and a Moon Ball Amaura.
The two are female so they can technically be used to pass down those balls to legitimate offspring, but it doesn't change the fact that someone manipulated one of their ancestors with power saves.
I might just to use in fun games with ECPL members. I probably won't be bringing them to official tournament or battle spot. One top player got some flack at last year's US Nationals because he was using an Aegislash in a Dream Ball. It was mostly from other players though, the tournament officials didn't really penalize him because it was legitimately bred and it passed through the hack checks.
That said, I have bred extras on occasion to trade for other pokemon in rare balls (Like Dream Balls, The Gen II Balls, and Safari Balls). They may just be purely aesthetic, but it's something that I'll intentionally breed for because it allows me to personalize my team just like nicknames. I do hope Game Freak changes how ball transfers work in future generations because you unfortunately can't have a genderless or 100% male pokemon (Sawk, Throh, Hitmons, etc.) in anything other than a poke ball.
You're generally fine breeding from stuff you get via WT. It was just obvious that the dream ball Aegislash had hacked parents since there's no in-game way to get a honedge in a dream ball.
To answer your tangent I recall it happening to me once. It must have just been a slow day on wonder trade, lol.
