Genesect is a Bug- and Steel-type Pokémon that serves as a Tier-5 Raid Boss in Pokémon GO, and understanding its weakness is essential for taking it down. Wielding 47,836 Combat Power, this Unova Pokémon will require two to three high-level Trainers to be taken down. As a Bug and Steel pocket monster, Genesect is resistant to Normal-, Bug-, Steel-, Psychic-, Ice-, Dragon-, Fairy-, Poison-, and Grass-type Moves. Conversely, this Raid Boss’s dual-type attribute makes it highly vulnerable to Fire-type abilities in Pokémon GO.
