Genesect VFusion Strike #255 Pokémon Card

Genesect is a unique and powerful Mythical Pokémon, first introduced in Generation V with the release of Pokémon Black and White. It is a Bug/Steel-type Pokémon, distinctive for its bipedal, insectoid form and the large cannon on its back. Genesect's lore is particularly intriguing; it was originally an ancient, formidable predator from 300 million years ago, later revived and technologically enhanced by the villainous organization Team Plasma. This modification bestowed upon it its signature cannon and the ability to change its attack type with different "Drives" (Burn, Shock, Chill, Douse). Genesect is known for its adaptability and destructive power, capable of unleashing a devastating move called Techno Blast. Its natural habitat, prior to its revival, would have been ancient forests or wetlands, but as a modified creature, it is often seen in more industrialized or laboratory settings within its lore. In the games, Genesect is a formidable special attacker, often utilized for its diverse movepool and strong offensive presence. In the anime, it has been featured prominently, most notably in the movie "Genesect and the Legend Awakened," where a group of Genesect, led by a powerful Red Genesect, clashed with Mewtwo. Culturally, Genesect represents the intersection of ancient power and modern technology, a theme that resonates deeply within the Pokémon universe. It has no evolutionary line, existing as a standalone Mythical Pokémon, and its unique typing gives it resistances to Normal, Grass, Ice, Psychic, Bug, Steel, Dragon, Fairy, and Poison, with an immunity to Poison, but a significant 4x weakness to Fire.
