Would it be possible to get a legitimate Shiny Timid-natured perfect IVs Mew?

Question

I was looking at one of my hacked Mews, which was Shiny with the Timid nature and perfect IVs, and I got thinking. Since you can transfer Mew from Gen 1 if you glitch one into the game and have a certain OT and ID, and it can be Shiny, I started to wonder if it was possible to get that combo of Shininess, nature, and IVs by the Mew glitch (which I consider legitimate). So let's say I got the OT and ID number that allowed me to transfer a Mew over and encountered that level 1 Mew. Would it be possible for it to be Shiny and Timid-natured with perfect IVs when I caught it and transferred it over to a newer game? And if so, what are the odds of it occurring?

I believe that the only way to get a Shiny Mew that is legal is in Emerald with the event Old Sea Map.

Jhnfui, you can get one via Mew glitch in Gen 1. I consider it legitimate, and it can be Shiny... although I dunno if that counts as 'legal'.

Yeah, I remembered that glitch, but it is up to you if you feel it as "legal".  And the Old Sea Map event ended a while back, so....

A Pokémon with gen 2 shiny ivs can’t be perfect, but it can be transferred to gen 7-8 (with quite a bit of hassle) and be hyper trained. If you transferred it to gen 3+, it could theoretically become shiny with perfect natural IVs. Natures are random. So, yeah, I think that could be possible. Highly unlikely tho

Yes, yes you can! You just gotta get ABSOLUTELY EXTREMELY AMAZINGLY SUPER INCONCEIVABLY lucky.

To show you what I mean (thank you sumwun), there are 25 natures, and a 1 in 25 chance to get a Timid one.

1/25

Then, there’s a 1 in 8192 chance for it to be shiny, which is why I don’t shiny hunt.

1/25 x 1/8192 = 1/204800

Then there’s a 1 in 31 chance (I’m assuming) that you get a perfect IV. And you want 6 of them.

1/204800 x 1/887503681 = a grand total of 1 in 1.8176075e+14.
Are you SURE this is worth it?

The question asks for the exact chances. "ABSOLUTELY EXTREMELY AMAZINGLY SUPER INCONCEIVABLY lucky" does not answer that.

Oh ok I’ll edit

The shiny chance is 1/4096 in gen 6.

Thank you! :3

Yes, but this is in Gen I

The only way to get a Shiny Mew that will pass the hack check and will be able to be transferred into Bank is one with a GF OT and an ID number of 02016 if English or 22796 if Japanese.

This requires extensive glitching
