Pokémon Go battles got more fierce because the legendary Pokémon Genesect made a comeback, as seen in recent events. Even though Genesect is a tough Pokemon to handle, it also has its vulnerabilities which can be used against it with the best counter moves. So, we will discuss the best possible raid counters and move sets to defeat Genesect in Pokémon Go in this guide.
Genesect in Pokémon Go
Genesect is a generation V Pokémon with insectoid body features. The two-footed battle boss is a Steel and Bug-type Pokemon. It ravaged the battle arena in its last appearance and will very much do so again. Since Genesect is a Steel and Bug-type Pokemon the Fire-type Pokémon (e.g. Chandelure, Reshiram, Darmanitan, Moltres, etc) are the best option for neutralizing it.
Genesect Movesets
Trainers need to implement out-of-the-box strategies to keep Genesect in check. The most important thing while preparing counter rosters is that players need to team up with Pokémon that can hurt Genesect in its weak spots.
Genesect’s strongest moveset is Metal Claw and Magnet Bomb. This time it will also be equipped with Techno Blast, making it more powerful. Its primary weakness is fire. The only thing that can slow it down is fire attacks.
