Genesect (Douse Drive)'s Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Genesect (Douse Drive) PvE Analysis

The Mythical Genesect is an offensive brute that can do quite the number as a Bug as well as a Steel type. It's overshadowed by a few Pokémon, but if you are lacking a strong Shadow or Mega, Genesect would be fine! 🙂

Note: Techno Blast is only worthwhile for PvP. 💣

⚔️ Raids

A great Bug and Steel type alike. Not phenomenal but certainly not to be left in the dark. 🤖

🛡️ Gyms

Genesect can't be placed in Gyms.

Genesect (Douse Drive) PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Techno Blast has an absurd damage output at a low cost, and you should go with the one that suits your team synergy. Here are the variants:

  • Burn Drive: Fire type 🔥
  • Douse Drive: Water type 💧
  • Chill Drive: Ice type ❄️
  • Shock Drive: Electric type ⚡

From a typing standpoint, Douse Drive can help the Bug/Steel Genesect go head-on with its only weakness—Fire Pokémon. But if you have all versions, it all depends on what coverage best suits your team. 🤔

🔵 Great League

You'd expect a lot from Genesect, but due to its fragility and inconsistency, it's not worth running in the Great League. 😬

🟡 Ultra League

Genesect enjoys some level of usage in the Ultra League and performs well against the usual Fairy and Psychic types in this meta. While that's nice, it doesn't do much against the rest of the Pokémon you typically encounter here. Overall, Genesect is avoidable, though the right Drive can make quite an impact! 👀

🟣 Master League

Again, Fairy and Psychic types are a good deal, but it performs poorly otherwise. A no-no for the Master League. ☹️
