Genesect has four different drives that affect their move set, alongside their Normal form: Burn, Chill, Douse and Shock. All forms can now be shiny!

Genesect Raid Counters

Since Genesect has attack heavy stats it should be fairly easy duo with the right counters. A worst case scenario is a really easy trio for lower lever trainers or without the perfect counters. It can even be soloed!

That being said, our recommendation is that you have 2 – 3 high level trainers for Genesect raids. For groups larger than 5, consider splitting into smaller groups for better raid rewards.

Both Bug and Steel Type moves are not very effective against Fire Type Pokémon so you have nothing to fear about from Genesect in regards to those, however:

*the type of Techno Blast depends on the Drive the Genesect has. Each different Drive Genesect also has access to a different move set.

  • Burn Drive has Fire type Techno Blast and Flamethrower Fire type Charged Move
  • Chill Drive has Ice type Techno Blast and Ice Beam Ice type Charged Move
  • Douse Drive has Water type Techno Blast and Gunk Shot Poison type Charged Move
  • Shock Drive has Electric type Techno Blast and Zap Cannon Electric type Charged Move
  • Normal Drive has Techno Blast Normal and Hyper Beam Normal type Charged Move
