Are mawiles that are in moon balls legal?

Question

I heard it's used to catch Pokemon that evolve via moon stone, mawile doesn't even evolve. I got one in a moon ball from trade. Alpha sapphire.

Answer 1

This ball has an increased capture rate for Pokémon that evolve with the MoonStone.

So yes, this Mawile could most definitely be legal. However, you can only obtain this ball in Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver. So unless the person traded it over it could be hacked.
