Are Pokémon whose parents are hacked legal?

Hi! A few months ago my friend traded me a hacked typhlosion and ditto. They both had all 31 Ev in every stat. I am wanting a competitive Hisuian typhlosion and I was wondering if I could use these two as its parents and if it would still be competitive legal

    Provided the offspring did not inherit any impossible abilities or moves somehow, they should appear to be entirely legitimate.

    Yeah, they're legal as long as they themselves aren't hacked. If it does inherit moves, then they're just Egg moves it can already learn legally since Pokémon can't learn impossible moves through breeding.
