[[Category:Bug/Steel-type Pokémon]][[Category:Generation V Pokémon]]Genesect is a Bug/Steel-type Generation VMythical Pokemon. Genesect was an ancient bug that was captured and experimented on by the evil Team Plasma. They turned it in to a soulless and heartless robot with pure metal armor skin and a big super cannon. However, N abandoned the project saying that any Pokémon altered by science is "inpure". The scientist, so mad by N's decision, quit Team Plasma and continued altering Genesect, until Genesect escaped and was never seen again. The cannon move, Techno Buster, has chips called Cassettes that can change its type. There 4 types of Cassettes and their types are Fire, Water, Electric and Ice. The Cassettes are called Burn Drive, Douse Drive, Shock Drive and Chill Drive.
If you take a Genesect to the P2 Laboratory and show it to the scientist there, he will battle you. If you win, he will give you 2 out of the 4 cassettes, with the two being different depending on which version of Generation V you have.
Genesect is the first legendary Bug-Type Pokemon, not counting Arceus holding the Insect Plate.
Genesect is somewhat related to Porygon, having Download as it's Ability, and being a Pokemon constructed by technology.
Genesect's move called Techno Buster is somewhat related to Arceus' Judgement, basing its type with its held item.
Genesect is classified as Paleozoic, meaning ancient life.
Genesect's appearance is bears similarities to the Yu-Gi-Oh! monster Cannon Soldier.
In the P2 Laboratory there is a memo assumably written by Ghetsis stating that lord N had modified whats to be the strongest pokemon ever until he abandoned the project, likely because N treats Pokemon with kindness instead of with pain.
