I'm not sure how common this knowledge is but I thought I'd put it here just in case. Both just as an "FYI" but also for the sake of getting clarification.
Everyone who's read Aiden's Breeding Guide knows about Hidden Abilities (Massive Thanks Shoutout for that by the way since I missed a LOT of developments since the last Pokemon game I played was XD Gale of Darkness) However, a while back I was breeding for a perfect stat Seikamater candidate, which resulted in a lot of time spent, and more than a few high/perfect IV male Tricwes. Naturally, I kept some of them to breed with other Bug Egg Group mons to transfer those IVs over.
But here's the thing, at least one of those Tricwes I was using for breeding passed on a HA to the offspring, despite neither the female mother, nor of course Tricwe (since it doesn't have an HA) having an HA present. (And, yes, this was a while ago, but I stopped while writing this, went into a cave with Gligars, caught one, and bred it with what I believed was the Tricwe with the "hidden HA," and literally the FIRST egg had a Gligar with Immunity.)
A bizarre circumstance to say the least, but this lead me to assume that the reason some Solar Power Nupins were in the Wonder Trade were due to using hacks, bred from a hacked Nupin, or using a Shiny Duplicat caught using the Pokeradar, as even though Duplicats don't have an HA, Shiny Pokeradar Grass Patches are supposed to be guaranteed to have HAs, and given the previous case of a mon without an HA generating offspring with an HA even when the mother did not possess it, I assumed it would be possible.
I tried a male Tancoon, a female Tancoon, and a genderless Comite bred with one of my many shiny Duplicats, yet even with a sample size of 15 or so offspring apiece, not ONE had their HA.
So I would have to assume that this is only something that can happen via breeding, as the Tricwe in question was bred from a female Tricwe + a male mon that had an HA, and it's the only way for something that doesn't have an HA to be treated as if it has an HA. However, given that there aren't that many breedable Gendered mons without HAs, I don't have anything to compare this too, so perhaps it's something that can only happen to the Tricwe/Seikamater pre-evolution linneage or something. Regardless, there appears to be no way to get the HAs for genderless mons that can't be picked up with the Pokeradar like S51, Tracton, and Nupin unless someone trades the offspring of a hacked mon like with those Solar Powered Nupins that have been floating around.
