Pokémon GO recently held the Bug Out! 2022 Event, which featured a few new debut Bug-type Pokémon and brought about the return of Genesect, though its shiny form is still missing. Genesect comes equipped with the Chill Drive this time around, adding to the already introduced line of Drives available (Normal, Douse, Burn, and Shock) for the Mythical Pokémon.
Best moves for Genesect in Pokémon GO
Genesect has great moves to choose from, and while the Drives affect the moveset available to the Pokémon, its best moves are always the same. Genesect is a Bug and Steel-type Pokémon, so its best moves will also be in those two categories.
Note: Moves with an asterisk (*) benefit from Same-Type Attack Bonus (STAB) and will deal increased damage.
