Alright, so I wanted to snag that Genesect with the Douse Drive in Pokémon GO, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a process. Here’s how I went about it, from start to finish:
Figuring Out the Deal
First, I had to figure out where this special Genesect even showed up. I did some digging and Found out it was part of a specific event which name “Raid Day”. I remember that I missed the event, I was pretty * I’m not the type to give up that easily.
The Waiting Game (and Raids)
So, the next time these Genesect raids were happening, I was READY. I made sure I had a bunch of Remote Raid Passes. You’ll got to buy it from the in-game shop using the coins or real cash, it’s up to you.
Joining the Raid
Once the event kicked off, it was go-time! I kept an eye on the Nearby screen. I had also better luck and used some third-party apps to find raids remotely. You know those apps, I finally find one, but It’s not easy. The queues were crazy long, I remember waiting for what felt like forever, just staring at my phone.
Battle Time!
Finally got into a raid! I picked my strongest Fire-type Pokémon. I mean, Genesect is Bug/Steel, so Fire is super effective, right? We went at it, tapping away like crazy. Honestly, my fingers were starting to hurt. Important: I made sure to use Charged Attacks as much as possible, and dodging was key too, especially against those powerful moves.
Catching the Prize
We took down the Genesect! Woohoo! Now came the nerve-wracking part – actually catching it. I used Golden Razz Berries. I’d been hoarding them for this exact moment. I went with Great Throws, though I was tempted to try for Excellent Throws, but I didn’t want to risk it.
- First throw… it broke out.
- Second throw… nope.
- Third throw… YES!
I caught it! I checked its stats – not perfect, but it had the Douse Drive, which is what I was after. Mission accomplished!
Final Thoughts
Getting that Douse Drive Genesect wasn’t a walk in the park, It took some planning, some waiting, and maybe a little bit of luck, but it was totally worth it in the end. If you’re going after one, just be prepared to be patient and persistent!
