:::::I'm curious as to which of those Pokégods you're referring to as having canon basis. Yes, their origin is "traceable", but I don't trace it to anything canon. The following were definitely not canon: Millenium, Anthrax, Ruin, Psybir, Psybird, Mysterio, and Apocalypse. Tyranticus, Primator, Doomsay, Doomsday, Psyke, and Wizwar originated from a list of Pokémon numbered 155 to 160... but I think it was all speculation / predictions of "Gold / Silver" Pokémon, so none of that would have been canon either. That leaves only 4... Tricket, Hifishi, Pokémaniac, and The Unidentified Dragon. Pokémaniac (the name) was the name of a real character, yes, but the Pokégod itself had nothing to do with the trainer of the same name. So that leaves Tricket, Hifishi, and The Unidentified Dragon. I get the feeling that the dragon may be based on the giant Dragonite from the anime, but I have no evidence that that is the case. Tricket and Hifishi were purely made up, but they could coincide with the prototype Pokémon Kage no Mushi and Bukū... although I think that that's pure coincedence.

:::::::Yeah, he's glitch Pokémon #234, which has the type listed as Pokémaniac (which is probably how he got his name).

I wasn't sure where to put him, the only thing canon about him is the name so the "not canon" section seemed to be the best category for him.

That rumour of how to obtain the Mist Stone is unnecessary. The Mist Stone should be mentioned as the stone that supposedly evolves certain Pokémon (some rumours saying it can evolve any Pokémon), but the rumour itself shouldn't be there (if we started listing rumours then we should list rumours for how to obtain each of the Pokégods as well... which would be extremely long (even if we just included the most well-known ones) and I don't think Bulbapedia is the place for that). Not to mention that the rumour that's currently on this page is obscure / not even the most common rumour out there... the one that I have heard of the most is "use the item finder a certain number of times (usually 100 or "on every tile") in Seafoam Islands to find it".

:There were many secret stones rumored with each said to evolve a specific type or even Pokémon. The Mist Stone was just one of many (intended for Pikablu) that eventually became a catch-all. The rumor you mention is indeed the most prominent.
