Strategy Overview
Genesect faces a ton of competition in Ubers, having very middling STAB coverage and minimal defensive utility. While its Speed is decent, tying with Yveltal and Xerneas and outspeeding Galarian Darmanitan, its damage output leaves much to be desired. Download's boost is too unreliable, and Genesect is hard-walled by most of the metagame's specially defensive walls. Steel-types such as Necrozma-DM and Ferrothorn can fit on teams more easily, while pivots such as Galarian Darmanitan and Pheromosa outdamage it. Genesect is quite simply outclassed by its contemporaries in every regard.
