Genesect is a Bug/Steel-type Generation V Mythical Pokemon. 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 and continued altering Genesect, until Genesect escaped and was never seen again. The cannon move, Techno Buster, has chips called Cassettes that can change its type. There 4 types of Cassettes and their types are Fire, Water, Electric and Ice. The Cassettes are called Burn Drive, Douse Drive, Shock Drive and Chill Drive.
