Well, let me tell ya ’bout this Genesect thing in that Pokemon Go game. My grandkids are always yappin’ about it, so I figured I’d try to make some sense of it for ya.
What is this Genesect Anyways?

From what I gather, this Genesect ain’t no ordinary Pokemon. Nope. They call it “Mythical,” which sounds fancy, but it just means you can’t catch it just walkin’ around. Used to be, you had to trade for it, like swappin’ cards, but now they got these things called “Raids.” Sounds like a hullabaloo to me, but the young’uns seem to like it.
How to Beat This Genesect Bugger
So, to get this Genesect, you gotta go to a “Gym,” which ain’t no place to do push-ups, mind you. It’s like a spot on the map where this Genesect hangs out. And you gotta fight it with your own Pokemons. The smarty-pants folks say you can beat it with just two strong trainers, but I reckon it’s better to have a whole gang of ya. More the merrier, I always say. And make sure your Pokemons are tough enough. Don’t go sendin’ in no weaklings, or you’ll get your butt whooped.
- Get a Group Together: Like I said, more is better. Don’t try to be a hero and go it alone.
- Strong Pokemons: You need the heavy hitters for this fight. The kind that can take a punch and dish one out too.
- Know Your Types: This Genesect is a Bug and Steel type, which means it’s weak to Flying and Rock types. So, bring out your birds and rock throwers.
Catching the Genesect
Now, beatin’ it is one thing, but catchin’ it is a whole ‘nother story. They say it’s only a 2% chance of catchin’ it. Two percent! That’s like findin’ a needle in a haystack, I tell ya. But don’t give up hope. Just keep throwin’ those balls and prayin’ to the good Lord.
Genesect (Chill) – The New Kid on the Block
Seems like this Genesect fella has different versions, and the one they got now is called Genesect (Chill). It’s still a Bug and Steel type, so the same weaknesses apply. They say it’s available in 5-star raids, which I guess are the toughest kind. And get this, some folks say they can beat it all by themselves! Must be some kinda Pokemon wizards, if you ask me.
When Can You Catch It?
This Genesect (Chill) thing ain’t gonna stick around forever. They say it’ll be in those Gyms from December 3rd to December 12th, from 10 in the mornin’ to 10 in the mornin’ the next day. So, you gotta hustle if you wanna catch it. Don’t go dilly-dallyin’ around, or you’ll miss your chance.
Shiny Genesect – The Fancy One

And if that ain’t enough, they got this “Shiny” Genesect (Chill) too. Shiny, huh? Sounds like they just put a new coat of paint on it. But the kids go crazy for these Shiny ones. I guess they’re rare or somethin’. So, if you’re lucky enough to find one of them, you better catch it. It’s like findin’ a four-leaf clover, they say.
Genesect Raid Strategy: Keep it Simple, Stupid
Now, all this talk about types and weaknesses can get your head spinnin’. But it ain’t rocket science. Just remember this: Bug and Steel are weak to Flying and Rock. Bring your strongest Flying and Rock Pokemon, and you’ll have a good shot at beatin’ it. And don’t forget to bring lots of friends, and lots of them Pokeballs. You’re gonna need ’em.
Why all the fuss about Genesect?
I don’t know why these youngsters go so crazy for this Genesect. Back in my days, we caught bugs with our bare hands, not with fancy balls and phones. But hey, times change, I guess. And if it makes them happy, then I guess it’s alright. Just don’t go spendin’ all your money on it, ya hear? There’s more to life than catchin’ pretend monsters. You gotta eat your vegetables, go to church and respect your elders. That’s what’s important, I tell ya.
Final words
So, there you have it. That’s all I know about this Genesect Raid thing. Hope it helps ya. And if you see one of them Genesects, you catch it for me, ya hear? I might just start playin’ this game myself. It can’t be that hard, can it? Just gotta catch ’em all, ain’t that right?
