I got a lv 100 Japanese Shiny mew in a trade and I was wondering if it is legit? Here is the information for my mew below

OT: フジ
ID No. 22796
Exp. Points 1,059,860
Nature: Timid
A fateful encounter seems to have led it to you from the Hoenn region

HP 404
Attack 212
Defense 299
Sp. Atk 236
Sp. Def 237
Speed 259

Moves
Dark Pulse
Blizzard
Fire Blast
Thunder

Ribbons: Hoenn Champion Ribbon, Kalos Champion Ribbon, Alert Ribbon and Shock Ribbow
 
I would have said it was legit and possibly a japanese event, but if it was then the nature would have been something like Serious or Bashful (neutral nature). I'm not fully sure that it is legit or not, the nature is the main thing throwing me off. The only other way to catch a mew (to get a different nature) is in the Emerald event, and idk if it was shiny locked back then... and also all those ribbons (except hoenn and kalos champs) make me feel a bit suspicious as well. I also get a feeling the person who originally owned the mew gave it full 252 HP EVs since it has a 400+ stat in HP. Check the IVs (potential) at the Battle Resort Pokemon Center, if it has "outstanding potential" with more than 3 or 4 stats that "can't be beat" then most likely it's a hacked mew.

You can get shiny Pokemon in Emerald. My mew's best one was HP and it was "Unbeatable" I really hope that It isn't hacked. Thanks for the help

It is probably legit though the shiny is probably the use of a cheat code. Also, it is a little suspicious with the perfect stats and why doesn't that mew have transform that is an integral piece to the mew competitive puzzle.
 
Here's the thing. With extreme luck you could get a legit 6 IV event
 
Probably not legit but it sounds like they tried to make it sound legal, which it very possibly could be based off of. You can get those Ribbons from Gen 3 and 4 (Shock and Alert Ribbon I believe) so it sounds legit. But maybe it's a Gen 3-5 Hackmon.
