'''Genesect''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲノセクト''' ''Genesect'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].


It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, though it has other [[Form differences#Genesect|Formes]].  
While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Genesect has four other [[#Form data|forms]], which are activated by inserting a [[Drive]] in the cannon on its back. The Drive's light is visibly different depending on which one Genesect is [[Held item|holding]].
* When it is not holding any Drive, the light is orange and {{m|Techno Blast}} is {{type|Normal}}.
* When it is holding the [[Shock Drive]], the light turns yellow and Techno Blast is {{type|Electric}}.
* When it is holding the [[Burn Drive]], the light turns red, and Techno Blast is {{type|Fire}}.
* When it is holding the [[Chill Drive]], the light turns white and Techno Blast is {{type|Ice}}.
* When it is holding the [[Douse Drive]], the light turns blue and Techno Blast is {{type|Water}}.


It is currently the final Pokémon in both the [[List of Pokémon by Isshu Pokédex number|Isshu Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Pokédex]].
Genesect was {{n|CoroCoro August issue reveals 'Genesect'|leaked}} in the August issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine on July 11, 2012, and it was officially revealed on July 14, 2012.
 
Genesect is the last Pokémon in the original [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number (Black and White)|Unova Pokédex]] as well as [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number (Black 2 and White 2)|Black 2 and White 2's Unova Pokédex]].

===Physiology===
[[File:Shock Drive anime.png |thumb|left|200px|Genesect in its high-speed flight configuration]]
Genesect has a head like a UFO, with two large eyes and a small mouth. Its body is similar to a Scizor, but more articulate. It has a powerful cannon on its back that was powered up by the perverse modifications made to it by [[Team Plasma]].
Genesect is a bipedal, insectoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a metal body and a saucer-shaped head. It is primarily purple with several gray markings. It has two large red eyes that are capable of glowing, and a small white part that could be either its mouth or a vent. It has thin arms with overlapping segments. Each arm ends with a single, pointed claw from which it can spin a sticky string to create structures. There is a gray circle on each shoulder and a gray band around its abdomen. Its segmented legs each end with a large, upward-curving claw.

====Gender differences====
Genesect was revived from a [[Fossil]] and technologically enhanced by [[Team Plasma]] to create the most powerful Pokémon ever. [[N]] had the project canceled 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, {{tc|Scientist}} Dudley kept working on it, angry that N denied his talent. This scientist reconstructed Genesect and installed the cannon on its back. According to a {{tc|Hiker}} in [[Ambrette Town]]'s Fossil Lab, there is a rumor that Genesect can be found in [[Glittering Cave]].
None.


===Special abilities===
By folding up its limbs and connecting its head to the cannon on its back, Genesect can assume a flying saucer-like configuration, allowing it to fly. This configuration is known in Japanese as the 高速飛行形態 ''high-speed flight configuration''. As seen in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', Genesect can breathe in outer space.


===Behavior===
===Forms===
Genesect has four alternate forms determined by the [[Drive]] it holds: Shock Drive, Burn Drive, Chill Drive, and Douse Drive.


===Habitat===
The powerful cannon on its back and other enhancements were added as part of the modifications made to it by [[Team Plasma]]. Genesect is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Techno Blast}}, an attack which changes type depending on the [[Drive]] it holds. Even before Team Plasma modified Genesect, it was feared as the strongest of hunters.

===Major appearances===
====[[Genesect Army]]====
The Genesect Army, a group of five Genesect led by a {{Shiny|Red}} Genesect, first appeared in ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', where N found the ruins of a building and learned the Genesect Army was responsible for the destruction by using his ability to hear the voices of Pokémon.
 
The Genesect Army played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. They went on a rampage in [[New Tork City]] while attempting to search for [[Genesect's home|their ancient habitat]], thus bringing them into conflict with a {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}}.

===Pocket Monsters B2 W2 ~ A New Legend ~===
Genesect was a Pokémon created by [[Dr. Zeno]]. After it saved Dr. Zeno from being trapped in his lab, he decided to give it to [[Arata]] in order to bring out its full potential.
 
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Blake's Genesect}}
A {{Shiny}} Genesect debuted as a silhouette at [[P2 Laboratory]] in ''[[PS515|The Shadow Triad]]'', where the [[Shadow Triad]] was seen testing its power. It reappeared at the {{un|Pokémon League}}, where it helped [[Colress|Hood Man]] escape. Later, in the {{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}, it was revealed to be under the ownership of [[Colress]].
 
In ''[[PS526|Mr. Perfect]]'', Colress attacked [[Aspertia City]] with another Genesect, where it came into contact with {{adv|Blake}} and {{adv|Looker}}, the former of whom ultimately captured Genesect. Although Blake had initially reported Genesect to the [[International Police]], he was seen in possession of it in ''[[PS536|Cold Storage Battle]]'', riding it through the [[Relic Passage]]. In ''[[PS541|Pink Slip]]'', it was revealed that Blake had taken Genesect for his own use without permission, despite it having been under strict supervision, which was one of the reasons why he had been subsequently fired from the International Police.

[[File:Genesect_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Genesect trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Genesect appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon. In the 3DS version of the game, it is unlocked after playing Endless Smash at least once. It jumps around the stage, repeatedly firing four {{m|Techno Blast}} attacks, followed up by a wide beam. Both shots can go through walls.
 
Genesect also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.
 
====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''A Bug/Steel-type Pokémon, Genesect was created from a 300-million-year-old fossil and later altered to carry a giant cannon on its back. The type of Drive inserted into the cannon affects the attack type of its Techno Blast. It will follow up this attack with a long-range laser.''
 
'''PAL''': ''A Bug- and Steel-type Pokémon revived from a 300-million-year-old fossil, then modified to carry a giant cannon on its back. The type of Drive inserted into the cannon affects the attack type of its Techno Blast. After using this attack mid-jump, it attacks its target with a long-range laser that passes through obstacles.''
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Genesect returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game. Genesect also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Excluding {{p|Arceus}} holding the [[Insect Plate]], Genesect is the only {{type2|Bug}} [[legendary Pokémon]].
* Genesect is the only {{type|Bug}} [[Mythical Pokémon]], excluding {{p|Arceus}} when holding an [[Insect Plate]].
* As the only legendary Bug-type Pokémon, Genesect has the highest base stats of all Bug-types. Its base total is 600.
* Genesect is tied with {{me|Pinsir}}, Mega {{p|Scizor}}, and Mega {{p|Heracross}} for the highest base stat total of all {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Interestingly, Genesect can learn {{m|Fly}}, despite having no visible wings or known method of flight.
* Genesect's backstory is similar to {{p|Mewtwo}}'s: both were created by [[villainous team]]s in at least one canon, and they were genetically engineered to be more powerful than the Pokémon they were based on.
* Genesect is currently the only Pokémon which names a [[Villainous teams|villainous team]] in its Pokédex entry.
* Genesect is the only Pokémon whose [[Pokédex]] entry names a villainous team, in this case, [[Team Plasma]].
* Genesect is currently the last Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Despite {{m|Techno Blast}} being its [[signature move]], Genesect cannot receive {{STAB}} from it unless its type is changed.
* The symbol for the {{TCG|Plasma Blast}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolPlasma Blast.png|30px]] resembles Genesect's head seen from above.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Genesect may be generally based on the giant insects of the {{wp|Paleozoic}} era, although its Steel-type features give it a somewhat robotic appearance. It has existed for 300 million years, making it as old as the {{wp|cockroach}}. It also is very similar in appearance to the {{wp|Mega Man 5}} {{wp|List of Mega Man characters#Robot Masters|robot master}}, Napalm Man.
Genesect is generally based on the giant insects of the {{wp|Paleozoic}} era, which existed for 300,000,000 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 or cyborgs in {{wp|science fiction}} media, but this may be due to Team Plasma's modifications. Its design might also be inspired by the "artillery mech" vehicles in various {{wp|mecha anime and manga}} while also resembling the enlarged pronona of {{wp|treehopper}}s (family Membracidae). They also share a similar head shape with many treehoppers.
