Has Defiant Empoleon been released?

Question

I ask because I got a Defiant Piplup from Wondertrade, and I want to know if it is legitimate. The Piplup is level 1, so it might be bred from a hacked Pokemon (assuming Defiant hasn't been released). If so, it is still considered hacked?

Answer 1

Yes,it did release.

Source.

Answer 2

Yes Defiant has been released for the piplup line so this Piplup is legit
