From what I recall of this -- which has been discussed in the Breeders Guild Discord server before -- this can occur if a Pokemon with no HA is bred with a male Pokemon that does have a HA. A male HA Pokemon has a 20% chance of passing a HA down to the offspring (which is how you're able to breed HA starters / Luxi / etc), but in the case of a mon without a HA, obviously when that 20% is rolled, there's no HA to give it so it gets its regular ability instead. But the game still treats the mon coding-wise as having a HA when it comes to breeding, so a male offspring could be "HA" without actually being HA, causing unexpected HA's to show up if you breed it with another mon.
Obviously this isn't a common occurrence -- you have a 20% shot of winding up with one of these "secret" HA mons (although the odds can go up if you get a coded female offspring and swap it in), and then a 20% chance from there if you use it to breed another mon that potentially can get a HA. But it is indeed possible, even if likely not entirely intentional from a coding standpoint, and has been observed in the past -- and yes, it only happens through breeding, not PokeRadar.
Duplicat won't on its own pass a HA. As @Dragonstrike said, the HA Nupins were more or less officially released as part of the last WTE event, although the only way to obtain it is through breeding from an offspring that already has it. It's not available in-game yet, but probably will be at some unknown point in the future.
