Game data

Abilities

  • Download

    The Pokémon compares an opposing Pokémon’s Defense and Sp. Def stats before raising its own Attack or Sp. Atk stat — whichever will be more effective.

Passive (unlock)Heatproof

The Pokémon’s heatproof body halves the damage taken from burns and Fire-type moves.

Egg moves

  • Extreme SpeedNormalPhysical80 pow · 100%

    The user charges the target at blinding speed. This move always goes first.

  • Shift GearSteelStatus— · —

    The user rotates its gears, boosting its Attack stat and sharply boosting its Speed stat.

  • Dynamax CannonDragonSpecial100 pow · 100%

    The user condenses energy within its body and unleashes that energy from its core to inflict damage. The higher the target’s level exceeds the current level cap, the greater this move’s power (ranging from 100 to 200).

  • Nasty PlotDarkStatus— · —Rare egg move

    The user stimulates its brain by thinking bad thoughts. This sharply boosts the user’s Sp. Atk stat.

Unlock costs

Candy needed for a cost-7 starter:

Passive ability
15 🍬
Cost reductions
8 / 20 🍬
Same-species egg
12 🍬
The price only drops once you have hatched enough Genesect eggs: 10 🍬 after 10 hatches, 9 🍬 after 20 hatches, 6 🍬 after 40 hatches.
Friendship needed per candy
300

Expensive starters ask for fewer candies, but earn them far more slowly: Genesect needs 300 friendship per candy, while a cost-1 starter earns one every 25.
