The Burn Drive (Japanese: ブレイズカセットBlaze Cassette) is a type of held item introduced in Generation V. It is one of the Drives, which are associated with Genesect. It corresponds to the Fire type.
Changes a Genesect holding this item to its Burn Drive form. Item-manipulating effects (such as Trick and Fling) cannot give Genesect a Drive or remove a Drive from Genesect.
The Burn Drive, along with the other drives, appeared in Genesect and the Legend Awakened, attached to a member of the Genesect Army. While it was used with the same purpose of changing the type of Techno Blast in the movie, it was also the key item to tell its owner apart from the other Genesect.
The Shock Drive was later given to the Magician in order to reverse-engineer another set of Burn, Chill, and Douse Drives. Blake used the Burn Drive to battle Team Plasma on the Plasma Frigate, though, due to it being incomplete at the time, Genesect was injured by its own attack and left exhausted after using Techno Blast on some Team Plasma Grunts. After Blake had later used the Fire-type Techno Blast to save the Swords of Justice from being frozen in ice, Cobalion knocked the damaged Burn Drive off of Genesect's body, after which it exploded.
