Genesect Weakness & Best Moveset in Pokemon GO
Now that we’ve covered some of the best Chill Drive Genesect counters in Pokemon GO, let’s dive a bit more into its weakness and best moveset. As you might have gathered from the list above, this Pokemon’s only real Achilles’ heel is Fire, from which it takes a whopping 256% damage. However, Genesect can handle many types of attacks, almost as if to compensate for how weak it is against Fire. Specifically, Fairy, Normal, Bug, Ice, Dragon and Steel attacks deal 63% damage, and Grass and Poison do a paltry 39%.
As for the best Genesect moveset, you want to have Magnet Bomb (Steel) as the Charged Attack. Either of the possible two Quick Attacks should work pretty well with it. Really, it’s entirely up to whether you want a full Steel build or you want to add a bit of Bug for spice. By the way, Genesect’s two Quick Moves are Fury Cutter (Bug) and Metal Claw (Steel). The other two possible Charge moves are Hyper Beam (Normal) and X-Scissor (Bug).
