Genesect questions

Is Genesect a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Genesect joins the collection from the Unova gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Genesect in PokéSurvivor?

Genesect is Bug / Steel. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Genesect be shiny?

Yes. A wild Genesect is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Genesect a rift legendary?

Yes. Genesect only appears in a distortion rift, not in normal waves or as a timed boss.
