Welcome back, Trainers! It's time to see how Genesect will likely perform in Pokémon GO.
CATEGORY: Paleozoic Pokémon
PRONOUNCED:JEN-uh-sekt
TYPE: Bug / Steel
HEIGHT: 4' 11"
WEIGHT: 181.9 lbs.
ATTACK: 252
DEFENSE: 199
STAMINA: 174
MAX CP: 3353
PLACE IN THE META: Genesect will be a good addition to Pokémon GO. While it won't be the best new Steel-type, it will be a pretty decent Bug-type. Volcarona is still projected to be better, but Genesect's stats and typing do make it out to be a better version of Scizor.
LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Genesect:
Fury Cutter
Metal Claw
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Genesect:
Flash Cannon
Hyper Beam
X-Scissor
Zap Cannon
Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Genesect's movepool:
Giga Impact
Techno Blast
LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Genesect gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.
Well, that's it! That's our final Unova Preview. Thank you for all the support on this series, Trainers!
