Genesect #649

Genesect — the Paleozoic Pokémon, a Bug/Steel mythical and the LAST Gen-5 Pokémon (#649) — the final entry in Unova's Pokédex. Genesect is an ancient Pokémon revived and weaponized by Team Plasma; the Drive mechanic lets Genesect change its signature attack's type by holding a Burn/Chill/Douse/Shock Drive. Tournament-tier OU presence as the Virizion-EX deck's partner. Plasma Blast Genesect-EX at $292 is the absolute grail.
