I recently received this card, see pic below. I believe this to be real and legit but some have recommended I get it checked.
The main reason is the misprint of the name M Pidgeot and the smaller text above it.
Is anyone able to confirm?

I'm afraid I don't doubt for a second that it's fake. If it were just the name there's very slim odds that it could be a legitimate misprint, but the text is subtly different to that on the real thing, and there's no border on it either.

Compare the font for '100+' on each card:

The more I look the more differences I see but is it fake or bad print?

A bad print might have a single, consistent mistake - a consistent miscolouring across the whole card, incorrect text across the whole card, or the whole card being off-center - but multiple mistakes make it a fake, unfortunately.
 
My kid has just noticed he has the exact same card. I'm the one who's bought him ALL his cards. They are not fake. More like a genuine misprint!
