![]() Ahh Genesect, The mon that was banned rather quickly due to the fact that it literately destroyed the 5th Gen Metagame. Which was understandable cause nothing but a VERY rare few could counter Genesect. One of the things was Volcarona. Which still exists in this new metagame. Genesect was called the new Scizor due to it having better speed, more coverage, it worked with just about ANY standard OU team. It was a all around sweeper in it's time. But, now there is the new Shift Gear + 3 attacks combo Genesect which works great! But not in Ubers imo. With this new generation of megas it can possibly lose out to some of the pokemon that it couldn't beat or OHKO. So, what do you think about Genesect? Should it be allowed another chance in OU? Or be kept in Ubers. Counters Edited by Jet Stingren, Dec 6 2013, 05:18:01 PM.

Genesect imo is not a threat in UBERS at all. It does cause a bit of trouble in OU if teams aren't prepared, but I think it should be OU. It's not good enough to be in UBERS and I don't think it will be to overpowered in OU. Move to OU. |

Yeah, same here. The main reason was that their was not that many counters to it. There was only a solid few that could stop Genesect as a whole. For the special side Genesect which was the most used while it was OU in 5th gen. Lacked a way to really boost it's special power outside of Download. Which Download really came to chance depending on the opponent's stats. As for a movepool it is overwhelming amazing. But, things like Gengar & Starmie also has these amazing movepools. I still think it should be put back in to OU. |

The only thing that makes Genesect good is its wide movepool which allows for some unpredictability but once its set is figured out, it's very easy to defeat. I say move to OU. |

- Any real Ninetales can counter Genesect. The Scarfed one, the bulky one. Genesect is easily countered more by Ninetales than other Fires types is cause of Drought. The best thing Gene can hit Ninetales with is a 85 based Techno Blast Water. Which does reduced damage!
- With Steel getting a bit of a nerf from this gen. Gengars Shadow Ball now does regular damage. And if using the two main STABs of Genesect. The best option would be Iron Head. But Gengar would be 2HKO'd by this and can easily outspeed.
- Any real bulky rotom can counter the respected Genesect that it is facing! For the Shift Gear set. It could easily WoW. And for the special it can tank hits and recovery with Pain Split or Rest and retailate with it's STABs.
