The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. 5ban Graphics illustrated that card, and Anesaki Dynamic illustrated this one. 24 other cards of Genesect list a different HP.

Fast-Flight Configuration is listed as Ability. If your opponent has any Pokémon-GX or Pokémon-EX in play, this Pokémon has no Retreat Cost. The attack Splitting Beam lists 30 damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 30 damage to 2 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "This ancient bug Pokémon was altered by Team Plasma. They upgraded the cannon on its back."

I keep a set binder for Unbroken Bonds, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Unbroken Bonds set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Genesect can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
