It is the [[signature move|only Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Techno Blast}}, which changes its type of blast depending on the cassette it holds. Genesect's cannon also give Genesect the ability to learn a variety of projectile-based moves like {{m|Zap Cannon}}, {{m|Energy Ball}}, or {{m|Flash Cannon}} or beam-based moves like {{m|Ice Beam}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and {{m|Signal Beam}}. Genesect's sharp claws also allow it to learn moves like {{m|Fury Cutter}} and {{m|Slash}}. Genesect can also use {{type|Flying}} moves like {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}. It is indicated that even before Team Plasma powered up Genesect, it was a skilled and ruthless hunter. | ||

However, one scientist kept working on it, annoyed that N denied his talent. This scientist reconstructed Genesect and powered up the gun on its back. | ||
