The only Pokémon who can use this move never receives STAB from it? --[[User talk:Venomoth|☯ ]][[User:Venomoth|*Ɣℯ№ӎօṫհ*]][[User talk:Venomoth| ☯]] 22:47, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

::Not that it would be impossible to get this move to be a STAB. You'd need to sketch it to a Smeargle, and then use it. Then it would gain stab from Smeargle as long as Smeargle’s type is still normal and not affected by a type changing move like Conversion and that the Smeargle does not hold a Cassette. The Smeargle could of course hold a Cassette, but then the added step of changing Smeargle's type to match the Cassette somehow comes into affect as well as having the move Techno Buster sketched. Anyway you do it, there is a way of getting it as a STAB move, a convoluted way at that.--[[User:QX Deoxys|QX Deoxys]] 06:27, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
:::Hmm. Well, next question: Should this move and {{m|Judgment}} be listed in the other types they can be? For instance should Techno Buster be listed in {{t|Fire}} with an * next to it? <span style="color:#91A3B0">—</span>[[User:Venomoth|<span style="color:black; font-size: 13pt">'''''V'''e<small>№</small>moth''</span>]][[User talk:Venomoth| ♦]] 00:58, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
::::Nope. This move changes type like Hidden Power, but should not have a rotating display and should be noted as its true type, which is Normal. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 01:32, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

== Photon Blaster ==

Where did anything like this got translated from? O_o The attack description just says "Releases light bullets at the opponent. The type changes according to the held Cassette." It doesn't even mention photon (光子 or フォトン) anywhere.[[User:KurowaSan|KurowaSan]] 23:23, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

== Event Only? ==

I've been looking into the move, as well as Genesect for that matter, and I read on the "Learnset" part of Genesect's article that it gets Techno Buster as a starting move. So, using Action Replay, I went and got myself a LV. 6 Genesect, and found it did NOT have Techno Buster. Just to be sure, I caught another one at LV. 6, then caught 3 more, at LV.1. I found that NONE of them had Techno Buster. Should this page (and Genesect's) be changed so that it says it's an Event Move? I'm looking for an Action Replay code for an Event Genesect to see if that has Techno Buster. [[User:Agent M|Agent M]] 16:18, 30 November 2010 (UTC)


Ah, never mind, it needs to be Move Tutor'd onto it, like Victini and Ball of Flame. [[User:Agent M|Agent M]] 12:37, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
I was wondering why my lv.100 genesect didn't know techno blast.[[User:WWWAJG|WWWAJG]] 22:16, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

== Type Rotation ==

Are or should we put the type rotation just like we do for {{m|Judgment}}? --[[User:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;background:black"><font color="red">'''Land'''</font>]][[User talk:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;background:black"><small><font color="yellow">'''fish7'''</font></small></span></span>]]''' 00:48, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
:I think that would be a good idea if you could edit it to only show the types it can be. [[User:Gliscorguy54|Gliscorguy54]] 00:49, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

== In the anime ==

How do people feel about this? The Genesect don't have different Mini Sprites so it seems silly to list each one (see moves Furfrou has used) This is also consistant with this same template on [[Weather Ball (move)]]. I also think the custom ShinyMS shouldn't be used as it never actually appears in a game.

== Techno Blast and Max Moves ==

So I was watching Pimpnite's video on Genesect sweeping. At one point into the video, he Dynamaxed his Chill Drive Genesect against a Dragapult and used a Max Strike that was coming off of Techno Blast. However, when he used it, it turned into Max Hailstorm and did Super Effective damage. Should we add this sort of information?
