Trivia

• Excluding Arceus holding the Insect plate, Genesect is the only Bug-type Legendary Pokémon.
• Genesect is currently the only Pokémon which names a villainous team in its Pokédex entry.

Origin

Genesect may be generally based on the giant insects of the Paleozoic era, although its Steel-type features give it a somewhat robotic appearance. The crest on its head resembles a laser gun or other man-made weapon.

Name origin

Genesect's name may be a combination of the English words genetic and insect.
