It has a powerful cannon (named in the {{m|Techno Blast}} move as Photon Blaster) 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. | ||

Genesect | Genesect is generally based on the giant insects of the {{wp|Paleozoic}} era, which existed for 300 million years, making it as old as the {{wp|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. | ||
