@RetroTyphlosion In Pokemon X and Y once you beat the game you unlock a town that gives you access to friend safari`s. There is a friend safari for everyone in your friend safari in this town. They are generated from that person's friend codes. Every safari is a specific type (fairy, dark, etc) and contains 3 pokemon (only 2 if said friend doesn't have X or Y or hasn't beat the elite four in X and Y and be online while you were). Every Pokemon has at least 2 perfect (31) IVs, a possibility of having there hidden ability, and a 1/512 chance (same as shiny charm) of being shiny. Also shiny charm in X and Y doesn't stack with this already high chance of being shiny.
unless you have X or Y you can't access it. It is the reason the First and Sixith Gen starters hidden abilities are so readily available and you often see them in different balls other that Pokeball. This is also the only way to get hidden abilities of Pokemon that aren't available in ORAS and SuMo but I don't think to many are relevant to the current meta.
