Genesect is transferable but not tradable. Genesect is a Bug and Steel-type Mythical Pokémon that was introduced in Generation V. Genesect is a Tier 5 Raid Boss with 47836 CP.
Genesect has four different drives that affect their move set, alongside their Normal form: Burn, Chill, Douse and Shock. At present only Burn, Shock, Douse and Normal Genesect can be shiny.
Genesect Raid Counters
Since Genesect has attack heavy stats it should be fairly easy duo with the right counters. A worst case scenario is a really easy trio for lower lever trainers or without the perfect counters.
That being said, our recommendation is that you have 2 – 3 high level trainers for Genesect raids. For groups larger than 5, consider splitting into smaller groups for better raid rewards.
Basically just use Fire Fire Fire and you’ll do fine.
