Ledit, its a movie event.
 
Just because its an actual movie event, doesn't automatically make it legal/legit. Someone could have hacked it and posed it as the movie event you know ._.
That's exactly my thought. I have a firm suspicion that it was, at the minimum, RNG abused. Thus why I am asking...since I plan on trading it for the future (I don't need it, really).

What in the fucking hell? Do I really need to start handing out infractions to everyone who posts in here that doesn't have something relevant to say?

Seriously: if you don't have something to contribute, don't post.

Coming from WT gives the impression that it's hacked, based solely on the fact that no one gives out anything worth anything (legendary-wise). However, it could be a clone from some charitable soul. Also, Landorus' Japanese name is ランドロス.

Try giving us the OT of that Landorus. Use this to match the characters with the rōmaji (English letters):

The OT translated to sea urchin. Maybe that's Google Translate being a dbag idk (I managed to enable japanese keyboards on my iPad. The OT untranslated isうに. That table confused the hell out of me tbh :/)
Edit: no wait, the OT is Uni. Which apparantly means sea urchin. Japan is confusing

Outwardly legal, but the Characteristic matches a Genesect posted here in May that was discovered to be hacked, only 6 characteristics possible for that IV spread so it could be a coincidence...or not.
If you can find out the PID it'll atleast be possible to check if it's the same Genesect (the known hack was PID 1BCC0011).

Any way that you can check the PID? I don't have any sort of device to find PIDs, sadly.

Edit: Thanks to .com, we identified that the Genesect is indeed hacked. Thanks guys for making sure of the legality; I don't know what I'd do if I got blacklisted.

Characteristic matches that of the same Genesect which has been checked twice already and was found to match one from a hack distribution site. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say if the person you got it from didn't RNG it themselves, then it's the same hacked one still in circulation (with a few TMs taught, and having defeated the E4 with it).
PID: 1BCC0011 is the one to be wary of.

Edit: lockiegengar12 brings up a good point. If the Genesect's name is "Genesect" and not "ゲノセクト" then that's not looking good...
