Reshiram is way too powerful to ignore as well as the Mega Charizards so it’s better to just have them if you do. That’s why Pokemon like Moltres are not included in our counters list. Now, while Fire types resist Ice moves, Pokemon like Mega Charizard Y, X along with Moltres can be hurt neutrally by Ice Beam. Ice Beam is a powerful Ice-type attack that will deals super effective damage against Flying, Grass and Dragon-type Pokemon. It’s Genesect’s third Charged Attack option that trainers may have to watch out for. X-Scissor (Bug) and Magnet Bomb (Steel) are both resisted by most Fire-type Pokemon. The same can be said about Genesect’s Charged Attacks.
Luckily, both are resisted by all of the Fire types trainers will likely bring into battle against Genesect so there’s not much to worry about in that department. Genesect has Metal Claw and Fury Cutter as Fast Attack options. Here’s a list of counters that trainers should consider when going up against Genesect in Pokemon Go. Mega Houndoom will also be a powerful option against Genesect and will resist any Ice moves the Legendary uses against it.Īs for non-Megs, Legendary Pokemon like Reshiram and Heatran can help trainers who need raw firepower to go up against Genesect. It’s still worth bringing either into battle simply to boost the power of Fire-type attacks on your team and any other trainer who decides to join you in the Raid. We’ll go more in-depth in the next section, but both Charizards will have to contend with it. This Genesect will have the Chill Drive, which gives it an Ice-type attack as one of its possible Charged Attacks. They have access to some powerful Fire-type moves and can resist many of the attacks Genesect will throw at it. When it comes to Fire-type Mega Pokemon both Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y should be options for trainers. Luckily for Pokemon Go trainers, there are plenty of powerful Fire types that can deliver some major damage against the Legendary including a handful of Mega Pokemon. And while there’s only super effective attack that trainers should be using against, it does deal four times the damage. So it’s much the same deal as the Pokemon Go Mega Scizor counters. Genesect is a Steel and Bug-type Pokemon making it weak to just one attack, Fire-type moves.
