Genesect is one of the many Legendary Pokémon that you can capture in Pokémon Go. It's a rare capture, usually only available as a five-star raid, or through other means and special promotions. Because you have limited opportunities to capture this rare pocket monster, you want to make sure it knows the best moves available, so it's viable to use it in other five-star raids and in the Pokémon Go League.
When you capture Genesect, it is a Bug and Steel-type Pokémon. This makes him incredibly vulnerable to Fire-type attacks. But it is resistant to Grass, Poison, Bug, Dragon, Fairy, Ice, Normal, Psychic, and Steel type attacks. Due to the number of resistors it has, this is a highly desirable choice to add to your list. He can have a max CP of 3353, attack of 252, defense of 199, and stamina of 174.
Here are all the moves he can learn.
Quick attacks
- Fury Cutter (Bug Type)
- Metal claw (steel type)
Charge attacks
- Hyper beam (normal type)
- Magnetic bomb (steel type)
- Ciseaux X (type bug)
Without question, your best option includes Genesect using a magnetic bomb. It's a powerful move that you can do quite quickly. Pair it with a Fury Cutter for power generation alone, and you can use it often. However, the metal claw is roughly the same amount for about three times the damage, so you'd better pair those two for the damage. The downside is that they're both Steel-type, so having a quick Bug-type attack and then a Steel-type charge attack gives you the most variety when it comes to using Genesect. You can however change it by having a metal claw and an x chisel. The hyper beam is okay given its massive damage, but the other two give you more options while fighting.
A Genesect with a Fury Cutter and Magnetic Bomb or Metal Claw and x Chisel is a powerful ally to use in Pokémon Go.
