(Japanese: ゲノセクト Genesect) is a dual-type Bug/Steel legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, though it has other Formes.
It is currently the final Pokémon in both the Unova Pokédex and the National Pokédex.
Biology
Physiology
Genesect has a head like a UFO, with two large eyes and a small mouth. Its body is similar to a Scizor, but more articulate. It has a powerful cannon (named in the Techno Buster move as the Photon Blaster) on its back that was apparently added as part of the bizarre modifications made to it by Team Plasma.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Being modified by Team Plasma, Genesect is equipped with a powerful cannon that can shoot down everything around it. It is the only Pokémon capable of learning the move Techno Buster, which changes its type of blast depending on the cassette it holds. Genesect's cannon also give Genesect the ability to learn a variety of projectile-based moves like Zap Cannon, Energy Ball, or Flash Cannon or beam-based moves like Ice Beam, Hyper Beam, and Signal Beam. Genesect's sharp claws also allow it to learn moves like Fury Cutter and Slash. Genesect can also use flying type moves like Fly or Aerial Ace.

History
Genesect was going to be revived from a fossil and powered up by Team Plasma to create the most powerful Pokémon ever. However, N was against the project because he felt that any Pokémon modified by science had lost its pureness, which is why the project was abandoned. But one scientist kept working on it, annoyed that N denied his talent.

Name origin
Genesect's name may be a combination of the English words gene, genetics, genesis (beginning), and insect.
