GEN VI: Legit Shiny Latias?... Even possible?

[WvA]

So I dont know if this is the best spot to place this, but I am wondering:

Is it possible to get a legit shiny latias?

I really like it, but I dont want a hacked or cloned version.. Is there any way to check this, or even better, to prevent yourself from getting one? I have some event legendrarys i might be willing to trade for it, but I really hate to get a hacked one =(

Should I just give up then?

I dont have one myself sorry but yes its possible. The only legendaries that are impossible to obtain shiny legitimately are:
Celebi
Arceus
Victini
Reshiram
Zekrom
Keldeo
Meloetta
Xerneas
Yveltal
and Zygarde. Jirachi can be obtained legitimately via a pretty old Japan only event from gen 3 but it is unable to be transferred through Poketransporter for some reason but its still legit.

And theres no real way to prevent yourself from getting a cloned one. Although hacked things that can be transferred are extremely rare and they cant be traded anyways so dont worry about hacked stuff (it just says "A Pokemon in either party cannot be traded" when attempted to be traded) cloned ones are still possible to be traded. Although from what Ive seen here people are respectful for those such as yourself who do not want cloned stuff so they will tell you beforehand if anyone here has one and willing to trade.
