Top Douse Drive Genesect Counters

Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Douse Drive Genesect counters as such:

  • Mega Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
  • Mega Charizard Y: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
  • Reshiram: Fire Fang, Fusion Flare
  • Shadow Chandelure: Fire Spin, Overheat
  • Apex Shadow Ho-Oh: Incinerate, Sacred Fire+
  • Shadow Moltres: Fire Spin, Overheat
  • Shadow Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
  • Shadow Entei: Fire Fang, Overheat
  • Heatran: Fire Spin, Magma Storm
  • Shadow Charizard: Fire Spin, Blast Burn

It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Douse Drive Genesect with efficiency.

  • Chandelure: Fire Spin, Overheat
  • Apex Purified Ho-Oh: Incinerate, Sacred Fire++
  • Darmanitan: Fire Fang, Overheat
  • Volcarona: Fire Sin, Overheat
  • Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
  • Entei: Fire Fang, Overheat
  • Moltres: Fire Spin, Overheat
  • Emboar: Ember, Blast Burn
  • Delphox: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
  • Flareon: Fire Spin, Overheat

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Douse Drive Genesect can be defeated with two trainers, but if you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have three or more players. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon. If you get a Shiny, though, it is a guaranteed catch so be sure to use a Pinap Berry.

Shiny Odds & 100% IVs

The Shiny rate for Mythical Pokémon encountered in Tier Five Raids is approximately one in 20. When looking for a Pokémon with the best stats, the 100% IV Genesect will have a CP of 1916 in normal weather conditions and 2395 in boosted conditions.

Happy raiding, fellow trainers! Be sure to check back on Bleeding Cool for daily updates on all things Pokémon GO.
