Aparrently there is a problem with this Pokémon.

Something about this is wrong.

Something about this is wrong.

Also I’m not sure if this is correlated with my other Gen 1 pokes not working.

Here is the problem:Pokemon transferred through the Poke Transporter from the Gen 1 virtual console releases will only be shiny when transferred to Sun/Moon if they have a specific set of IVs:

The method to determine whether a Pokémon will be Shiny has varied:In version 1.3, a transferred Pokémon will be Shiny if in Generation I its Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are all 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15. This is the method used to determine whether a Pokémon is Shiny in Generation II.If it does not meet these requirements, it will never be Shiny.Source

This Mewtwo is hacked, and it was never transferred from a virtual console game in the first place. If you receive a shiny legendary with all perfect stats, that’s an immediate red flag.

Someone also pointed out in the comments that it has an OT that’s one character longer than the limit in the Gen 1 games, which is likely another issue the hack checker found with it.
