I was recently link training and saw someone with a LV 1 Gengar.

No, that is not possible. The lowest possible level for Gengar is 16. Unless there was some special event I dont know about, that Gengar is definently hacked.
In Sword and Shield you have thehttps://glitchcity.info/wiki/Party_item_offset_glitchwhich can be used to make a Pokemon evolve while it’s still in an egg, but no analog to that exists in USUM.
To answer about hatching level 1 Pokemon in USUM:
Yes, yes you can. For example you can hatch an evolved level 1 snorlax and really any other 2nd evolution Pokemon that needs incense to breed for the 1st stage evo.
Furthermore about the Gengar itself:level 1 Gengar is very, very much possible in Pokemon sun, moon, ultra sun and ultra moon (while maybe frowned upon by certian people) but completely possible and legal.
