The featured Pokémon for this week’s Raid Hour is Genesect. By itself, Genesect is a Bug and Steel Pokémon. What makes Genesect unique is that, according to Pokémon lore, it was genetically engineered to have a drive slot that allows players to modify its type. Since Shock Drive Genesect will be in the Raid Hour this week, we can expect it to deal some heavy Electric damage.
