Pokemon GO Genesect with Shock Drive Weakness
The biggest weakness of Shock Drive Genesect in Pokemon GO is Fire. These attacks deal 256% damage. On the other hand, Genesect is resistant to a startling number of types: Normal, Bug, Psychic, Steel, Ice, Fairy and Dragon attacks deal 63% damage. Grass and Poison do only 39%. So, long story short, stick to Fire and melt the sucker into nothing.
As for Genesect’s moveset, the Shock Drive version can have Fury Cutter (Bug) and Metal Claw (Steel) as Quick Moves and Magnet Bomb (Steel), X-Scissor (Bug), Zap Cannon (Electric) and Techno Blast (Electric, Elite) as Charged Moves.
