Genesect (Japanese: ゲノセクト Genesect) is a dual-type Bug/Steel legendary Pokémon.
Genesect was leaked in the August issue of CoroCoro magazine on July 11, 2012, and it was officially revealed on July 14, 2012.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, though the Drive inserted in the cannon on its back is visibly different within its sprites depending on the Drive it is holding.
- When it is not holding any Drive, the light is orange, and Techno Blast is Normal-type.
- When it is holding the Burn Drive, the light turns red, and Techno Blast is Fire-type.
- When it is holding the Douse Drive, the light turns blue, and Techno Blast is Water-type.
- When it is holding the Shock Drive, the light turns yellow, and Techno Blast is Electric-type.
- When it is holding the Chill Drive, the light turns white, and Techno Blast is Ice-type.
Genesect is the final Pokémon in the Unova Pokédex and National Pokédex within Generation V.
Biology
Physiology
Genesect has a purple metal body with a saucer-shaped head, two large red eyes and a small white part that could either be its mouth or a vent. Its body has an insect-like appearance. It has a powerful cannon on its back that was apparently added as part of the bizarre modifications made to it by Team Plasma. It could possibly be a sort of cyborg, due to its given enhancements and Steel typing.
Gender differences
Genesect is a genderless species.
Special abilities
Shiny Genesect in its High-Speed Flight Form
Being modified by Team Plasma, Genesect is equipped with a powerful cannon. It is the only Pokémon capable of learning the move Techno Blast, an attack which changes type depending on the Drive it holds. It is indicated that even before Team Plasma powered up Genesect, it was a skilled and ruthless hunter.
By folding up its limbs and connecting its head to the cannon on its back, Genesect can assume a flying saucer-like form, allowing it to fly. This form is known as the High-Speed Flight Form (Japanese: 高速飛行形態).

History
Genesect was revived from a Fossil and technologically enhanced by Team Plasma to create the most powerful Pokémon ever. N had the project cancelled and the P2 Laboratory closed because he felt that Pokémon, who he thought to be perfect beings, would lose their beauty if modified by science. However, Scientist Dudley kept working on it, angry that N denied his talent. This scientist reconstructed Genesect and installed the cannon on its back.
In the anime
Major appearances
N discovered an image of a Genesect on a computer monitor at the ruined P2 Laboratory in The Name's N! while he was investigating Team Plasma's plans.
The Genesect Army, a group of five Genesect led by a Red Genesect, first appeared in Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!. During his investigations, N found a destroyed building where a Patrat and Watchog were. By using his power to hear their voices, he had a flashback where he realized that the Genesect Army was responsible for the destruction.
The Genesect Army is set to have a major role in the sixteenth movie. In the film, they will appear in New Tork City and go on a rampage, bringing them into conflict with Mewtwo.
Minor appearances

Trivia
Origin
Genesect is generally based on the giant insects of the Paleozoic era, which existed for 300 million years, making it as old as the cockroach. Its Steel-type features that give it a somewhat robotic appearance may be a reference to alien robots in science fiction media; however, this may be because of Team Plasma's modifications. Its design is also possibly inspired from the "Artillery Mech" concept used in various Sci-Fi anime produced in Japan.
Name origin
Genesect may be a combination of gene, genetics, genome, or genesis, and insect.
