Burn Drive Genesect Raids Tips
Since Burn Drive Genesect is a relatively easy-to-take-down raid boss, two high-level trainers can defeat it using their elite counters, but it is safer to go with a group of three to four trainers.
Attack of the Fan Boy noted that Genesect is an easy-to-hit target directly over its face with an easy-to-follow attack. Genesect is an easy-to-hit target directly over its face with an easy-to-follow attack. The best way to catch Genesect is to use the Circle Lock Technique to ensure Excellent or Great throws, along with Golden Razz Berries.
As a dual Bug-Steel type, the Burn Drive Genesect will be boosted in both Snowy and Rainy weather. However, trainers who do not care much about getting a boosted Pokémon may battle under a Clear or Sunny weather to obtain the Fire boost.
However, Burn Drive Genesect will not show its Shiny form in this raid. Yet, to find a Pokémon with the best statistics, players may look for the 100% IV Genesect with a CP of 1,916 under normal weather while after boosting, its CP will shoot up to 2,395.
