Is it physically possible to get Sniper Beedrill in XY / ORAS?

Yes, I know there’s been a question about Sniper Beedrill in the FS, but I wanted more clarification as I didn’t quite understand it. Would I be able to catch a Kakuna in the FS and keep evolving them until one Beedrill has Sniper? Is there some secret “Hidden Ability variable” for the Pokemon that have no hidden ability?

Actually, you are right, and that answer is wrong. EVERY Pokemon technically has 2 normal abilities and a hidden ability, it’s just that Pokemon with only one visible ability actually have the same ability, 3 times. In the case of Kakuna, all 3 abilities are Shed Skin. In a similar way, ferroseed has Iron Barbs in all 3 slots. I know this because I had (I released it) beedrill with sniper, and I have Weedle with Runaway. I also have ferrothorn with Anticipation. These are not hacked, this works. Keep catching and evolving Kakuna from the FS, you will get beedrill with sniper eventually
