Genesect is a dual-type Bug and Steel character that was introduced into the franchise back in generation V. Now, this particular mythical character is not known to evolve from or into any new character. However, it can change its form depending on the drive it is holding for each of its various sprites. These different drives change the type of Genesect’s signature move techno blast, which gives this character a wide range when it comes to being a firm counter. 

There is no doubt that there will be plenty of excited players ready to encounter and catch Genesect if this character is indeed added to the mobile game. We will update this piece with any new information when more is made available.
