Genesect Raid Counters Guide

Genesect is a Bug/Steel type Mythical Raid Boss that is double weak to Fire-type moves. It is boosted by Rainy and Snow weather and caught with the following CP values:

1833 – 1916 CP, for a regular encounter (Level 20)
2292 – 2395 CP, weather-boosted encounter (Level 25, Rainy and Snow )

Genesect has four different drives that affect moveset, alongside their Normal form: Burn, Chill, Douse, and Shock. All forms can now be shiny!

Genesect Raid Counters

Since Genesect has attack heavy stats it should be fairly easy duo with the right counters. A worst case scenario is a really easy trio for lower lever trainers or without the perfect counters. It can even be soloed!

That being said, our recommendation is that you have 2 – 3 high level trainers for Genesect raids. For groups larger than 5, consider splitting into smaller groups for better raid rewards.
