'''Genesect''' ({{ja|ゲノセクト|Genosekuto}}, ''Genesect'') is a creature from the {{uv|Pokémon}} media franchise.

==Origin==
{{pkmn|Genesect}} is a dual {{iw|bulbapedia|Bug|type}}/{{iw|bulbapedia|Steel|type}}-type {{iw|bulbapedia|Mythical Pokémon}} introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation V}}, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #649 as the "Paleozoic Pokémon". Genesect was created by {{iw|bulbapedia|Team Plasma}} from a fossil of an ancient insectoid Pokémon, even though their former leader, {{iw|bulbapedia|N}}, had the project cancelled, as he felt that Pokémon are perfect beings, and modifications through science would ruin their beauty. Team Plasma technologically enhanced it, including adding a cannon which it uses to execute its {{iw|bulbapedia|signature move}}, {{iw|bulbapedia|Techno Blast|move}}.

Techno Blast is a special {{iw|bulbapedia|Normal|type}}-type move with 120 base power (85 prior to {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation VI}}) and 100% accuracy. The move changes in type depending on the {{iw|bulbapedia|Drive}} Genesect holds, though it can still use the move without a held Drive.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
[[File:SSB4 - Genesect.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Genesect on [[Kalos Pokémon League]]]]
Genesect appears as a [[Poké Ball]] and [[Master Ball]] Pokémon in this game. Upon release, it jumps around the stage, shooting bolts of low knockback Techno Blasts at fixed intervals with the cannon on its back. Genesect will keep firing Techno Blasts until it lands, although it will most commonly fire twice if on a flat surface.

Upon jumping and landing twice, Genesect will proceed to fire a powerful, [[unblockable]] laser with infinite range, similar to the [[Daybreak]]'s except with less KO potential, though still KOing early at a decent 70%. Genesect will repeat this process again before disappearing.

In {{for3ds}}, Genesect will not appear until having played [[Endless mode|Endless Smash]] at least once.

Genesect has a spawn chance of {{Fractions|12|975}} from Poké Balls and {{Fractions|40|690}} from Master Balls. It cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies to both games and only the base form unless noted otherwise):
*{{SSB4|Mute City}}
*[[Suzaku Castle]]
*[[Wily Castle]] (3DS)

===Trophy===
Genesect's trophy is randomly available in both versions. In {{Forwiiu}}, it is part of the ''Legends of Unova'' [[Trophy Box]].

|desc-ntsc=A Bug/Steel-type Pokémon, Genesect was created from a 300-million-year-old fossil and later altered to carry a giant cannon on its back. The type of Drive inserted into the cannon affects the attack type of its Techno Blast. It will follow up this attack with a long-range laser.

The type of Drive inserted into the cannon affects the attack type of its Techno Blast. After using this attack mid-jump, it attacks its target with a long-range laser than passes through obstacles.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
[[File:Techno BlastUltimate.jpg|thumb|Genesect firing Techno Blast in ''Ultimate''.]]
Genesect returns as a Poké Ball Pokémon, but its Techno Blast laser no longer has infinite range.

Genesect has a spawn chance of {{Fractions|12|1463}} from Poké Balls and {{Fractions|40|842}} from Master Balls. It cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies only to the base form unless noted otherwise):
*[[King of Fighters Stadium]]
*[[Mute City SNES]]
*[[Suzaku Castle]]
{{clrl}}

===Spirit===
Genesect also appears as an Ace-class [[primary spirit]]. It can be bought from [[Master Spirit|Sheldon's Place]] for 4000SP or fought via Spirit Board.

Genesect's Spirit Battle uses four blue {{SSBU|R.O.B.}} puppet fighters and is fought on [[Prism Tower]]. The R.O.B. team has increased movement speed and favors neutral specials, referencing Genesect's Techno Blast move. One R.O.B. also starts the battle with a Poké Ball containing Genesect.

==Trivia==
*Genesect popping out during [[Mewtwo]]'s character trailer for ''Smash 4'' may reference their significant appearance together in the Pokémon movie, ''[[bulbapedia:M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', and the fact that they are both genetically modified Pokémon.
