Want to learn how to get Shiny Genesect in Pokemon Go? Every Pokรฉmon Go Trainer strives to have the strongest, rarest, and shiny Pokรฉmon in their collection. And if a Pokemon combines all these qualities, it will become a valuable trophy in any player’s collection. Genesect is a Bug and Steel-type Mythical Pokรฉmon with outstanding abilities and stats, and it can also be Shiny. The only way to get Genesect is to beat it in a Raid Gym and then catch it using your best Pokรฉ Ball throws. Even just defeating a Genesect is quite a challenge, and getting a Shiny Genesect is even harder, but our guide is here to help you and tell you how to get a Shiny Genesect in Pokemon Go.

How to Get Shiny Genesect in Pokemon Go

As we said earlier, the only way to get Genesect is to fight Raid Gyms with him and then catch him. Based on this, you can get a Shiny Genesect in the same way, but you will not know if you met a Shiny Genesect or a standard Genesect until the end of the battle. Once you win, you will have the opportunity to catch a Genesect, and with a 1/20 chance, it will be a Shiny Genesect. This chance is pretty low, so you’ll have to visit at least ten Raid Gyms before you get Shiny Genesect in Pokemon Go.

Even though Genesect is quite hard to defeat, the main difficulty in obtaining Shiny Genesect is not in this. Genesect is a rare guest in Raid Gyms, and you are unlikely to see him too often. But now, things are different. During the Bug Out event, which takes place from August 10 to 18, 2022, Genesect will be a frequent guest at the Raid Gyms. It is probably the best opportunity in recent times, as you can try your luck many times and get Shiny Genesect in your collection.

Also, do not forget that you need a Raid Pass for each battle. And if you didn’t stock up on them beforehand, you’ll have to buy them from the in-game store to increase the number of attempts. We also do not advise you to be too self-confident. Gather a group of friends to defeat him faster and not waste your Raid Pass.

As we said earlier, Genesect has a lot of resistance and only one vulnerability, and to defeat him, you will have to choose counters for Genesect based on this. Genesect’s only weakness is its Fire-type attacks, which deal him a whopping 256% damage. Accordingly, you should assemble a team of Pokรฉmon that own Fire-type attacks and have resistance to Bug and Steel-type attacks. We decided to help you a little and prepare a list of the best counters for Genesect in Pokemon Go:

  • Chandelure:ย Fire Spin, Overheat.
  • Darmanitan:ย Fire Fang, Overheat.
  • Volcarona:ย Fire Spin, Overheat.
  • Blaziken:ย Fire Spin, Blast Burn.
  • Moltres:ย Fire Spin, Overheat.
  • Flareon:ย Fire Spin, Overheat.
  • Entei:ย Fire Fang, Overheat.
  • Heatran:ย Fire Spin, Flamethrower.
  • Infernape:ย Fire Spin, Blast Burn.
  • Charizard:ย Fire Spin, Blast Burn.

We advise you to hurry because the Bug Out event will end on the 18th of August. And once it’s over, you won’t see Genesect in Raid Gyms for a long time and won’t be able to get Shiny Genesect in Pokemon Go.
