Article Summary

Tonight is Douse Drive Genesect Raid Hour in Pokémon GO, featuring Tier Five Raids.
Despite its name, Fire-type Pokémon are the best to use against Douse Drive Genesect due to its double weakness.
The rest of November 2023 will feature raids from other Pokémon, including the possible Shiny forms of Virizion, Cobalion, and Terrakion.
Mega Raids will also be taking place throughout November 2023, including the debut of Mega Gallade.

Tonight is Douse Drive Genesect Raid Hour in Pokémon GO. From 6 p.m. until 7 p.m., most Gyms in the game will pop Tier Five Raids. These Raids will all feature Douse Drive Genesect, which can be encountered in its Shiny form. Now, while Douse Drive Genesect is distinct in your Dex from the other Drives, that doesn't mean its typing or weakness changes, so do not let the "Douse" here fool you into not doing what's best. And what's best in this scenario? Fire-types. Genesect is always, no matter what Drive it's packing, a Steel/Bug-type Pokémon. That means that it has a double weakness to Fire-types. This double weakness is so strong that, in the right weather, you may even be able to defeat Genesect as a solo player. So be sure to power up your Fire-types and get them ready for battle because they will be key in completing Genesect Raids quickly tonight.
