The four Drives appeared in Genesect and the Legend Awakened. Each of them was attached to a member of the Genesect Army, with the exception of the leader, the Red Genesect. While it was used with the same purpose of changing the type of Techno Blast in the movie, it was also the key item to tell each Genesect apart, with the one holding the Douse Drive having a different personality from its group.

The Drives in Pokémon Adventures

Pokémon Adventures

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. 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.
