A Drive in the anime

A Drive (Japanese: カセット Cassette) is a type of held item introduced in Generation V. When held, it changes the type of Techno Blast used by the holder to the corresponding type of the Drive. It also changes Genesect's form, such that the Drive visible on its body reflects its held Drive.

In X and Y, the Drives can be obtained by showing Genesect to a Hiker at the Fossil Lab in Ambrette Town. He says that he received the plans for the Drives from an acquaintance of his in Unova and made the Drives from them himself.

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Drives can be obtained by showing Genesect to a Street Thug on the second floor of Mauville City. He claims that they are rare items that came from the Unova region through some shady market.

Black 2 & White 2 arc

In Pokémon Adventures, the unnamed Drive attached to Genesect's back is called the Neutral Drive (Japanese: ノーマルカセット Normal Cassette).

From Mr. Perfect to Innocent Scientist, Colress used a Genesect to battle Blake. After falling for one of Blake's taunts, Colress angrily switched the Drive on Genesect's back for a Shock Drive in order to put Blake's Dewott at a disadvantage against the Paleozoic Pokémon. Once Blake had defeated and captured Genesect, he obtained the Shock Drive in the process.

The Shock Drive was later given to the Magician in order to reverse-engineer another set of Burn, Chill, and Douse Drives. Blake used the Burn Drive to battle Team Plasma on the Plasma Frigate, but due to it being incomplete at the time, Genesect was injured by its own attack and left exhausted after using Techno Blast on some Team Plasma Grunts. After Blake later used the Fire-type Techno Blast to save the Swords of Justice from being frozen in ice, Cobalion knocked the damaged Burn Drive off of Genesect's body, after which it exploded.
