[[Category:Bug/Steel-type Pokémon]][[Category:Generation V Pokémon]] [[Category:Purple Pokémon]] Genesect (ゲノセクト Genosekuto) is a Bug/Steel-type Generation V Mythical Pokémon. 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 "impure". The scientist, so mad by N's decision, quit Team Plasma, created a lab and continued altering Genesect until Genesect escaped and was never seen again. The cannon move, Techno Buster, has chips called Drives that can change its type. There 4 types of Drives and their types are Fire, Water, Electric and Ice. The Drives are called Burn Drive, Douse Drive, Shock Drive and Chill Drive.

Trivia
- If the player takes a Genesect to the P2 Laboratory and show it to the scientist there, he will battle the player. If he/she wins, he gives him/her two out of the four drives, with the two being different depending on which version.
- Genesect is the first Bug-type Legendary Pokémon, not counting Arceus holding the Insect Plate.
- Genesect's move called Techno Buster is somewhat related to Arceus's Judgement, basing its type with its held item.
- Genesect is classified as Paleozoic, meaning ancient life.
- In the P2 Laboratory, there is a memo presumably written by Ghetsis stating that Lord N had modified whats to be the strongest Pokémon ever until he abandoned the project, likely because N treats Pokémon with kindness instead of with pain.
- Its name comes from the words genesis, meaning beginning because it is an ancient Pokémon, and insect, because it is a bug.
- Genesect is the Paleozoic Pokémon because it existed during the Paleozoic Era, which took place 300 million years ago.
