==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:649Genesect BW anime 3.png|150px|thumb|left|Shiny Genesect in its High-Speed Flight Form]]
Genesect has a purple metal body with a UFO-shaped head, two large red eyes and a small white part that could either be its mouth or a vent. Its body is similar to {{p|Scizor}}, but more articulate. 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 is a bipedal, insectoid Pokémon with a metal body and a saucer-shaped head. It is primarily purple with several gray markings. It has two large red eyes 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. 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.
[[File:Genesect silk.png|thumb|200px|Genesect spinning its silk]]


====Gender differences====
The powerful cannon on its back and other enhancements were apparently added as part of the bizarre modifications made to it by [[Team Plasma]]. It is the [[Signature move|only Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|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). It can also spin a sticky string from its claws.
Genesect is genderless.


===Special abilities===
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, {{tc|Scientist}} Dudley kept working on it, angry that N denied his talent. This scientist reconstructed Genesect and installed the cannon on its back.
Being modified by Team Plasma, Genesect is equipped with a powerful cannon that can shoot down everything around it. It is the [[signature move|only Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Techno Blast}}, which changes its type of blast depending on the [[Drive]] 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 utilize {{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.


===Behavior===
==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
====[[Genesect Army]]====
{{an|N}} discovered an image of a Genesect on a computer monitor at the ruined [[P2 Laboratory]] in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'' while he was investigating Team Plasma's plans.


===Habitat===
The Genesect Army, a group of five Genesect led by a {{Shiny|Red}} Genesect, first appeared in ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]''. During his investigations, N found a destroyed building where a {{p|Patrat}} and {{p|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.


===Diet===
The Genesect Army has a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. In the film, they appear in [[New Tork City]] and go on a rampage, bringing them into conflict with a {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}}.

==History==
===Minor appearances===
Genesect was revived from a [[Fossil]] and technology-enhanced by [[Team Plasma]] to create the most powerful Pokémon ever, but [[N]] halted the on-going project and the [[P2 Laboratory]] closed because he felt that science makes Pokémon, who he thought to be perfect beings, lose their natural beauty. However, one {{tc|Scientist}} kept working on it, angry that N denied his talent. This scientist reconstructed Genesect and installed the cannon on its back.


==In the anime==
==In the manga==
===Major appearances===
[[File:Team Plasma Genesect Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Genesect in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the movie adaptations===

===Minor appearances===
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Genesect was seen as a silhouette at [[P2 Laboratory]] in ''[[PS515|The Shadow Triad]]''. The [[Shadow Triad]] was seen testing its power. It later appeared again at the {{un|Pokémon League}}, where it helped [[Colress|Hood Man]] escape. Later, in the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, Colress attacked [[Aspertia City]] with it and came into contact with {{adv|Blake}} and [[Looker]], the former of whom ultimately captured Genesect.


==In the manga==
===In the Pocket Monsters B2 W2 ~ A New Legend ~ manga===

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Despite its [[Pokédex]] entries stating that it is a resurrected prehistoric Pokémon, it is not {{type|Rock}} like [[fossil]] Pokémon that can be resurrected by the {{player}}, though this could be due to the modifications made to it by [[Team Plasma]].
* Genesect is the only {{type|Bug}} [[Mythical Pokémon]].
* Genesect is the only {{type|Bug}} [[legendary Pokémon]], excluding {{p|Arceus}} holding the [[Insect Plate]].
* Genesect is tied with {{me|Pinsir}}, {{me|Scizor}}, and {{me|Heracross}} for the highest base stat total of all {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
* Genesect has the highest base stat total of all Bug-type Pokémon.
* Genesect's backstory is similar to {{p|Mewtwo}}'s: both were created by [[villainous teams]] in at least one canon, and genetically engineered to be more powerful than the Pokémon they were based on.
* Genesect can learn {{m|Fly}}, despite having no visible wings or known method of flight.
* Genesect is the only Pokémon whose Pokédex entry names a villainous team, in this case, [[Team Plasma]].
** It is one of only two {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that can learn Fly. The other is {{p|Volcarona}}.
* Despite {{m|Techno Blast}} being its [[signature move]], Genesect cannot receive {{STAB}} from it.
*** Neither of these Pokémon are {{type|Flying}}, nor can they have the ability {{a|Levitate}}, and were both introduced in Generation V.
* Of the Generation V Mythical Pokémon, Genesect is the only one that does not have an event signature move. {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, and {{p|Meloetta}} obtain their respective signature moves through events, whereas Genesect has Techno Blast as a starting move.
* Genesect is the only Pokémon which names a [[Villainous teams|villainous team]] in its Pokédex entry, in this case, Team Plasma.

** Genesect is the only Pokémon which ends a [[generation]] in National Pokédex order that is not {{type|Psychic}} in at least one [[Form differences|form]].
* Of the Generation V event legendary Pokémon, Genesect is the only one that does not have an event [[signature move]]. {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}} and {{p|Meloetta}} obtain their respective signature moves through events, whereas Genesect has {{m|Techno Blast}} as a starting move.
* Despite it being its [[signature move]], Genesect cannot receive STAB from {{m|Techno Blast}}.
* Genesect's backstory is similar to {{p|Mewtwo}}'s; both were resurrected by [[villainous teams]] in at least one canon, and genetically engineered and enhanced to be more powerful.


===Origin===
===Origin===
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. It's design is also possibly inspired from the "Artillery Mech" concept used in various Sci-Fi Animes produced in Japan.
