whew, apologies for the two-day delay guys, but here we are :3
couple notes for TBB:
-make sure to hyphenate all compound adjectives cause you were a bit erratic here; things like "near-perfect" and "entry hazard-setting" take hyphens too cause they're adjectives and they're compound. Only hyphenate adjectives if they're used as attributes though, not as predicates (e.g. "the well-known singer" vs. "the singer is well known");
-if the writer discusses "hazards", make sure you change one of those to "entry hazards" cause that's what they are. Once per paragraph is generally fine, then it's clear what kind of "hazards" is being discussed, and changing all of them has a habit of killing the prose;
-always put a comma before "as" if it means "because", not much else to it. Similar to the "while" thing I pointed out somewhere in the check, which always takes a comma f it means "whereas" but not if it means "when".
otherwise be sure to look over my changes and hmu if you want me to clarify anything :>
otherwise, GP 1/2

[OVERVIEW]
With access to a wide variety of coverage moves and a handful of great abilities to choose from, Genesect will always leave your opponent guessing.(kinda fluffy considering what you say afterwards) Genesect's (apostrophe) diverse movepool(no space) paired with its great mixed offensive stats and access to power-boosting (add hyphen) abilities means it can easily plow through slower teams and makes it very difficult for faster Pokemon to switch in. It has access to Extreme Speed, (AC) which, paired with an ability boosting it, makes itGenesect a very potent revenge killer, and sporting the second strongest U-turn in the tier, Genesect can easily maintain offensive pressure and gain momentum while taking out huge chunks of the opponent’s HP when it U-turns out. Genesect's typing also allowsgrants it neutrality to all moves barring Fire type moves and a nice set of resistances and a single weakness to Fire-type moves.(kinda subjective but this felt really clunky, resistances isnt subjective though, resist shouldn't be used as a noun)
However, Genesectdoes have its flaws. It often finds itself being outpaced and overpowered vsversus hyper offensive teams, and full stall teams usually carry both physical and special walls that can wall different Genesect sets and wear it down by via entry hazards as it switches in and out. Other than that, variants lacking Extreme Speed are always forced out by the ever-present (add hyphen) Gale Wings users and,(AC) barring the Fire-immuneity(hyphen) variants, Fire-types(add hyphen) also generally force Genesect out. Another downside to using Extreme Speed Genesect is the Hasty nature forced on it due to it being an event Pokemon(I think "being event exclusive" might be better, but your choice). ("is the move being event locked into a Hasty nature" imo) However,(AC) these flaws do not hold Genesect back one bit; it Genesect can effectively beat the checks and counters of one set with another one, making it very unpredictable and powerful. That, along with its ability to overpower a lot of the common walls in the tier or revenge kill a good amount of itthe metagame, makes Genesect easy to fit into most teams.

Moves
========
This set’s main selling point is the Refrigerate-boosted(add hyphen) Extreme Speed, it makes Genesect a fearsome revenge killer that OHKOes all Gale Wings users (RC) barring Skarmory (RC) and hits all nonanything that doesn't resists very hard. Thunderbolt completes the BoltBeam combo combination, giving it Genesect near-perfect (add hyphen) neutral coverage on all Pokemon barring some dual typed Pokemon like Magnezone. It also allows itGenesect to hit bulky Water-types, (AC) which are common switch-ins to Refrigerate Genesect. Flamethrower and Blaze Kick can be used in the third slot to hit bulky Steel-types that are usually switched into Extreme Speed. While Blaze Kick comes off the stronger higher Attack stat in this set, (keep this cause otherwise it implies its Attack is naturally higher) Flamethrower is preferred because most steels switched into itSteel-types that switch into Genesect are physically defensive and Flamethrower hits them harder; it also has the added benefit of not missing. Shift Gear can also be used in this slot as it boosts Genesect's (apostrophe) Speed, letting it outspeed(remove hyphen) almost everything in the tier, metagame (no comma before "while" unless it means "whereas") while simultaneously boosting its Attack, turning Genesect into a fearsome late-game(add hyphen) cleaner. Lastly, Iron Head could be used in this slot to hit Fairies and KO Shuckle before it can set up both entry hazards(specify 'both hazards' please). On the last slot, Techno Blast could be used, (AC) as Techno Blast boosted by Refrigerate it hits extremely hard with the Refrigerate boost, even denting SpDspecial walls like RegenVest Goodra on the switch. Alternatively, U-turn is good in the last spot because Genesect forces a lot of switches and U-Turn allows,(AC) allowing it to gain momentum while doing quite a bit of damage to the switch-in. Another interesting option for the last slot would be Explosion,(AC) which hits. Refrigerate Explosion hits extremely hard with Refrigerate and iscan be used as a last-ditch (add hyphen) move used to deal an insane amount of damage to switch-ins or prevent entry hazard removal moves from taking placeworking. (either "prevent entry hazard removal from taking place" or "prevent entry hazard removal moves from working", the original is wrong but this was a tad much :>)
Set Details
========
252 Attack EVs are used to maximize the power of Extreme Speed. Genesect is stuck with the Hasty nature due to Extreme SpeedGenesect being an event-exclusive move Pokemon and the. (prefer ", and the" for improving flow, but the comma must be added then) 184 Speed EVs is toallow Genesect to outspeed Jolly Lucario, (AC) which can usually switch in on Extreme Speed and do a lot of damage. The rest of the EVs are dumped into Special Attack to boost the power of Genesect's coverage moves. Life Orb provides that extra damage to Extreme Speed that makes defensive pokemon like Ferrothorn and Skarmory not dislike switching into it while also powering up its coverage moves. It also provides extra power to the coverage moves. Pixilate can be an alternate ability for this set, but it misses out on OHKOing(no hyphen) all Gale Wings users as the current set does.
Usage Tips
========
Thanks to Refrigerate Extreme Speed,(AC) Genesect serves as an offensive check to all Gale Wings users. While facing an opponent with Gale Wings in their team, Genesect must be brought in to revenge kill after a Pokemon hasfallen fainted or by double switching while predicting when you predict the Gale Wings user to come in. Keep in mind that Genesect cannot safely switch into any Gale Wings users, however. safely so, doing that will just make you lose your Gale Wings check early in the game.(this bit is implied) Genesect should not be played recklessly because because while it's a great asset vsagainst faster,(AC) frailer teams, it takes a lot of damage from most moves they throw at it. That which, along with it's(remove apostrophe) lack of recovery (RC) and susceptibility to entry hazard damage and Life Orb recoil makes it get worn down easily. This brings us to the next point, hazards. SinceBecause Genesect will generally have to switch out after it revenge kills something, and having hazards up on your side of the field will limit Genesect's switch in opportunities to switch in and wear it down very fast. Genesect appreciates having hazards up on the opponent's side of the field, (AC) as it breaks random Focus Sashes and the chip damage really helps Genesect while trying to revenge kill threats with Extreme Speed. The hazards will also help wear down checks to Genesect when you make double switches predicting them switching in and force them out.
Team Options
========
An entry hazard setters likesuch as Mold Breaker Deoxys-Speed(add hyphen) is a good partner to this set,(AC) as it can stack hazards while stopping the opponent from setting up theirs due to Taunt. This, which is useful as Genesect usually forcescapitalizes on Genesect's abiliy to force switches and wears wear down the opponent's team as the by having its checks that they switch in takes rack up hazard damage. With Victini being the most common Fire-type(add hyphen) Pokemon in the tier, a Flash Fire monuser with Pursuit likesuch as Doublade or Krookodile really helps Genesect out. Pokemon that resist Fire Resists(I think this is what you mean) with Pursuit likesuch as Tyranitar can also work. Wallbreakers like Adaptability Latios and Tough Claws Victini are also good partners, (AC) as they can weaken the opponent's(apostrophe) team enough to let Genesect clean later in the game. Genesect appreciates Healing Wish support, so you could opt for Latias over Latioscan also be used for the added utility and bulk, but it loses out on some power compared to Latios. A Magic Bounce pokemon likeuser such as Mega evolving Gyarados can work really well with itGenesect because it can beat all the common hazard setters and can (optional) severely dent teams after a Dragon Dance, leaving them in range for the Genesect cleanup crew. Primordial Sea Starmie can also work as a good partner, (AC) as it can KO most hazard setters with its strong STAB(STAB what?) or Rapid Spin to clear hazards when they switch out. It also dents physical walls that annoy this Genesect and serves as a switch-in(add hyphen) for to Fire-types. Both Gyarados and Starmie can also serve as Fire switch-ins(hyphen) to Fire-type attacks(though if you mean a switch-in to fire-types in general, put "Fire-type" behind "switch-ins"), the latter being more reliable due to being able to switch in for free against Fire-types(add hyphen) and KOing(remove hyphen) them iror forceing them out. The non Shift Gear set Genesect greatly appreciates Sticky Web support if it lacks Shift Gear, as it patches up Genesect’s matchup problem vs versus hyper offensive teams (RP) by bringing the faster, frailer Pokemons are now brought into Genesect’s Speed tier letting to let it overpower them, (comma) while the Flying-types (add hyphen) that are immune to Sticky Web are KO’ed(remove apostrophe) by Extreme Speed anyway.

Moves
========
Bug Buzzis theGenesect's main STAB move and its strongest attack, it 2hkos2HKOing Cresselia and most Psychic- and Dark-types(add hyphens) in the metagame. Ice Beam hits Hippowdon, Chesnaught,(AC) and the various Dragon-types (add hyphen) that roam AAA, killingknocking out the ones it Genesect outspeeds before they can make a move, examples being:such as Dragonite,(RC) and Adamant Zygarde. Thunderbolt gets the 2HKO on CroCune, (AC) and hits any non Electric immunity Water-types lacking an Electric immunity(here I would either switch the move order of Ice Beam and Thunderbolt in the set or swap the order of the two sentences and lowercase immunity :>), (AC) and completes the BoltBeam combo combination, giving it near-perfect(add hyphen) making it have perfect neutral coverage. The last slot is basically up to the user of the Genesect you, as it'll a hold a coverage move that allows Genesect to hit certain Pokemon theits team needs it to hit, this means there's a lot of options present. Dark Pulse lets it get the 2HKOes on Mixed Wall Regenerator Doublade when it tries to pivot into one of Genesect's(apostrophe) moves (All other moves misses out on 2hko). Iron Head hits things threats like AV Regen RegenVest Goodra and Chansey switching in harder than any of theGenesect's other moves. Note that while using Iron Head, the nature and EVs need adjustment. Flamethrower gets the OHKO on Lucario and hits non-Fire-immuneity Steel-types(hyphen), such as Magnezone. It also hits Magnezone while all its other moves fail to do much to it. U-turn can be used on over any one of the above moves,(AC) (depending on what coverage you can afford to lose) as Genesect has a tendency to force switches and U-turn will let youit maintain offensive momentum.
Set Details
========
The 200 Speed EVs allowit Genesect to outspeed unboosted base 100 Speed Pokemon, as well as Jolly Lucario and Krookodile. The 56 HP is just the leftover EVs which have been dumped into HP to generally take hits better.(i would say something along the lines of, "252 EVs in Special Attack allow Genesect to hit has hard as possible, and the rest of the EVs are put into HP") (yeah go with this, it's too casual now) Life Orb is the best item,(AC) on this as it provides the 1.3X boost boosts Genesect's power and doesn’twhile not takinge(subjective) without inflicting recoil thanks to Sheer Force. When using the mixed spread with Iron Head,(AC) the EV spread should be: 56 Atk / 252 SpA / 200 Spe, (AC) instead and the nature should be Hasty/ or Naive Naive or Hasty. Naive allows it Genesect to check -ate ability usersSpeed(not sure if "-ate Extreme Speed" is acceptable errr that should be "-ate ability Extreme Speed" then, if "Refrigerate Extreme Speed" is acceptable, and while it's technically correct it just sounds so disgusting I'd err on the side of leaving it out haha) slightly better,(AC) while and Hasty allows it to take Draco Meteors(from?) better(I'd also swap the order of these so it matches, but that's your choice do this, and that's not optional because it's much, much cleaner; however, do so in the previous sentence) so, the choice must be made depending on which you can afford to lose out on.
Usage Tips
========
A huge special movepooland all of them boosted by Sheer Force makes Genesect a fearsome wallbreaker. The amazing coverage makes Genesect able to break most of the common special walls in the tier barring Goodra and Chansey. However, Goodras on the switch switch-ins fall to the mixed setIron Head with some prediction,(AC) as it doesn't have recovery outside of Regenerator. It also makes short work of most physical walls, (AC) as they rarely have the Special Defense necessary to avoid a 2HKO from Genesect's coverage moves. While Genesect can take a few hits and retaliate, (AC) it really appreciates staying out of the gunfire as much as possible,(AC) as it can get worn down quite easily with repeated hits and entry hazards. It performs best when it can get free switch-ins switches in by double switching and slow U-turns, Baton Pass,(AC) or Volt Switches. As always, Fire-types(hyphen) in general are threats. Genesect should never stay in vsagainst a Fire-type(hyphen) unless Genesect outspeeds and the Fire-type is it's weakened enough to be OHKO'ed(remove apostrophe) by Genesect'sits coverage moves, and this is only if Genesect outspeeds said fire type. ItGenesect appreciates entry hazard support, (AC) as it limits switches, breaks Focus Sashes,(AC) and gives extra damage on foes that helps Genesect it net KOs. (does this really go in UT though?) all in all, Genesect must be played carefully as the lack of recovery really cuts down its time on the field if hazards are up.(redundant) Lastly, Sincebecause Genesect has such a wide movepool to choose from,(AC) the opponent will often scout for certain moves. It is a good idea to sometimes hold back on revealing a coverage move so that Genesect can net a kill KO with it later when the opponent thinks you don’tit doesn't have said coverage move. Another thing to note is With Refrigerate Extreme Speed being very common on Genesect, sometimes you can bluff thatthe Refrigerate set ("that move" imo, no cross-set referencing) and hit the opponent with strong coverage.
Team Options
========
An entry hazard-setting (add hyphen) leadlikesuch as Focus Sash Mold Breaker Deoxys-Speed can work well,(AC) with this as it can set up hazards and Taunt opposing hazard setters. Genesect cannot outspeed Jolly Vicitini or live survive a Brave Bird from a Gale Wings monuser, so checks to those are necessary. Regenerator Regirock can fill this role, (AC) as it can reliably switch into vs both multiples times. Flash Fire Doublade can fill this role too, (AC) and while it struggles with the lack of recovery letting it get worn down more easily, it can Pursuit trap all Victinis,(RC) and -ates ability and Gale Wings monsusers, wearing them down as they switch out of it. Primordial Sea Ferrothorn can be an especially good partner, (AC) as it can switches into Entei and Victini for free and then getset hazards up, which will help Genesect net kills KOs more easily. Flash Fire Scizor can be a good partner as well, (AC) as it can switch into Fire moves aimed at Genesect and provides a slow U-turn out, giving Genesect a free switch in(space). Scizor could also remove hazards to increase Genesect's (apostrophe) longetivity and Knock Off Chansey's Eviolite and Goodra's Assault Vest, making them less reliable switch-ins(hyphen) to Genesect. Choice Banded Adaptability Tyranitar is a good partner for thisGenesect, as it can Pursuit trap Chansey and Goodra, (AC) which completely wall Genesect otherwise. (they still do) SinceBecause bulky Steel-types give this set trouble, Tough Claws/ or Adaptability Fighting-types(hyphen) make good partners to thisGenesect as well.

Moves
========
U-turn is the primary STAB moveof choice and the move that will be being spammed the most. It can straight up OHKO some of the frailer mons it hits neutrally and take a good chunk out of Pokemon that resists. Extreme Speed does a large amount to anything barring Steel- or Rock-types(hyphens), letting it clean up weakened foes. The main advantage it has over any Refrigerate- or Pixilate-boosted Extreme Speed is not being resisted by Fire- or Water-types attacks(hyphens), (just "Fire- and Water-types") although it misses the ability to revenge kill Gengar. Iron Head is a secondary STAB, it move that hits extremely hard,(AC) and 2HKOings any Rock-types that may want to switch in on the Extreme Speed. There are a few options for the last slot. Blaze Kick punishes non-Flash Fire(hyphens) variants of Skarmory or Doublade switching in on any of the other moves, (comma) Band set 2hko-ing 2HKOing offensive Skarmory and 3hko-ing 3HKOing bulky Skarm sets. X-Scissor allows provides Genesect another strong Bug-type(hyphen) move that it can use without having to switch out, hitting Defense-invested (add hyphen) Cresselia, Umbreon, Mew, and Chesnaught that may be thinking about staying in to tank the U-turn. It can also clean slower teams if they have mons that are resistant to Pokemon that resist Iron Head. Special attacks like Flamethrower, Thunderbolt,(AC) or and Ice Beam can be used as coverage depending on what you want to hit.
Set Details
========
The 200 Speed EVs allowit Genesect to outspeed unboosted base 100 Speed Pokemon, as well as Jolly Lucario and Krookodile. The 56 HP is just the leftover EVs which have been dumped in HP so that it can take hits slightly better.(again from above, I think "Maximum Attack investment allows Genesect to hit as hard as possible, and the rest of the EVs are put into HP." is better) (again agreed, and in the future take care not to copypaste sentences) A Hasty nature is necessary on the set, (AC) as Extreme Speed Genesect is an event Pokemon. Choice Band is the preferred item on itthis set, (AC) as this setit mainly depends on predicting the next Pokemon to be coming in and switching out with U-turn, so Choice Band gives the U-turn the maximum meaning it benefits most from Choice Band maximizing U-turn's power it can reach and avoids and avoiding the recoil that Life Orb would cause, increasing Genesect's longetivity. A Choice Band also gives more power behind Extreme Speed, letting it revenge kill better more effectively.
Usage Tips
========
Genesect can be used as a lead in matchesvsversus Deoxy-S or any clear entry hazard-setting (add hyphen) lead, (AC) as it can U-turn out into thea teammate with Gale Wings Pokemon/ or Defogger as itthey sets up hazards (RC) and then force it out while it defogsuses Defog or just go for the killKO. Against other non-Mold Breaker hazard leads, it can U-turn out to a Magic Bouncer user or a hazard remover while dealing a lot of damage to the opponent thanks to Choice Banded Tough Claws Boosted U-turn. In fact, this set's main niche is the U-turn. It cashes in on Genesect's ability to force switches and hits the Pokemon switching in for good damage with U-turn. It will keep doing itGenesect should keep using U-turn(clarity) throughout(no space) the match, only making predictions when necessary. This means keeping hazards away is a must while using this Genesect because it will be clicking U-turn and switching out most of the time. Scout for Prankster Will-O-Wisp or Flamethrower vsfrom Mew because either can completely destroy this Genesect. Gale Wings monsusers at full health can be a problem, but Genesect can pick them off with Extreme Speed after they are a bit weakened, with the exception of Skarmory. Genesect usually forces switches, so having hazards up on the opponent's(apostrophe) side is a huge advantage, (AC) as it slowly wears down their monsteam due to the hazard damage and U-turn. After things havethe opposing team has been weakened,(AC) this Genesect can also function as a cleaner thanks to the raw power behind Extreme Speed.
Team Options
========
Good partners tothis would beGenesect include strong Fighting- and Fire-types(hyphen) to deal with the Steel-types that like to switch into it. Magnet Pull mons likeusers such as Infernape and Ampharos can work really well with itGenesect, (AC) as they can trap and kill KO Steel-types switching in. Ampharos might be the better choice, (AC) as it can deal with Skarmory, which is the most common switch-in (add hyphen) to this set, more reliably as than Infernape, (AC) which cannot beat all variants of Skarmory without a Focus Sash. Other partners could be Magic Guard Defog Moltres and Defog Tinted Lens Latios. When switched in, Moltres scares away Steel-types while it Defogs, (AC) and Latios gets a kill when Steel-types stay in expecting a Defog. They can also serve as switch-ins to Fire-type(hyphen) moves. If you're planning on keeping the entry hazards up on your opponent's(apostrophe) side, up Primordial Sea Starmie is the better partner to this,(AC) as it can switch into Fire-types Genesect hates for free, can force a switch while it spins, (AC) and beats Gengar, which is the most common Ghost-type in the tierAAA metagame. It also gets Thunder to hit Jellicient and strong Scalds to hit all Ghost-types in general. Primordial Sea Ferrothorn is a good partner too, (AC) as it can switch into Entei and all Victini variants and then proceed to set up hazards that Genesect really appreciates. InOn offensive teams, the ever-popular Mold Breaker Deoxys-Speed can also be used as a hazard lead. Aside from the aforementioned Primordial Sea mons users, Flash Fire Doublade is a great partner, (AC) as it can Pursuit trap the Fire-types(hyphen) cantrying to switch out of it, weakening them to be put in Extreme Speed KO range. It can also serve as a spinblocker, (AC, remove space) stopping the opponent foe from spinning hazards away.

Moves
========
Zap Cannonis the main reason to use this set, it serves as a good coverage move with high Base Power and gives inflicts a guaranteed paralysis. It also benefits from Refrigerate Genesect's (apostrophe) popularity, (AC) as Water-types (add hyphen)are popular switch-ins to Refrigerate Extreme Speed. Blizzard is the other high-powered (add hyphen) coverage move that can abusetake advantage of No Guard and completes the BoltBeam coverage with Zap Cannon, together giving Genesect near-perfect (add hyphen) neutral coverage. Bug Buzz is a good STAB move that allows itGenesect to hit all the Psychic-types(hyphen) in the tier for good damage. Flamethrower hits Magnezone, which the rest of this set fails to do. It also OHKO'es Lucario. Bug Buzz and Flamethrower can be replaced with U-turn and Extreme Speed; (SC) U-turn is fordoes chip damage while switching out after paralyzing something with Zap Cannon, (AC) and Extreme Speed helps pick off weakened Pokemon. If Moltres is used as a partner, running Flash Cannon on Genesect is an option, (AC) as it can take care of Rock-types(hyphen) that Moltres doesn't like.
Set Details
========
The 200 Speed EVs allow it to outspeed unboosted base 100 Speed Pokemon, as well as Jolly Lucario and Krookodile. The 56 HP is just the leftover EVs which have been dumped into it so that it can take hits slightly better.(again, refer to above) (again, agreed, and again, take care not to do this because it's unprofessional/careless) Life Orb allowsit Genesect to pack more of a punch with its coverage moves, making it the preferred item on it. When using Extreme Speed and U-turn, the HP EVs should be moved to Attack, (AC) instead and the nature must be changed to Hasty. The Hasty nature is required because Extreme Speed Genesect is an event Pokemon.
Usage Tips
========
This Genesectdoes one thing, mainly aims to spread around paralysis while doing good damage with Zap Cannon,(AC) so,(RC) most of the time the best course of action is to click Zap Cannon. Zap Cannon has low PP, so don’t use it recklessly vsagainst more defensive teams. It Genesect can cripple offensive switch-ins(hyphen) to Genesect like Victini with Zap Cannon and then proceed to KO it them with Bug Buzz the turn after. Keep hazards away so Genesect can remain healthy play; for a longer period of time anyway. Make sure to scout some Pokemon, likesuch as Latios and Mew, before you decide it's safe to bring in Genesect because Latios could run Tinted Lens to KO you and Mew could have Fire coverage. While spamming Zap Cannon,(AC) be wary of Pokemon that benefit from getting hit by an Electric move, likesuch as Motor Drive Manaphy, (AC) which can sweep teams after just one Speed boost. Don't play recklessly with Genesect, (AC) as the Life Orb recoil, constant switching,(AC) and lack of recovery means it'll get worn down fast.
Team Options
========
SinceBecause Zap Cannon forces a lot of switches, entry hazard support is greatly appreciated. This makes Deoxys-S,(AC)peed and Ferrothorn,(AC)/ and Forretress good partners, (AC) as they can all reliably set hazards, (AC) and the latter two can even serve as Fire switch-ins (add hyphen) with Flash Fire. Forretress can even use a slow Volt Switch to give Genesect freesafe switches in. Gale Wings users and Fire types can cause trouble for Genesect, so a Flash Fire Doublade can be a nice partner to deal with both. Doublade also deals with Poison Heal Snorlax, (fix spacing here)which gives this set thouble, quite well. Magic Guard Moltres is an alternate Fire switch-in that can scare away Steel-types, keep up momentum with U-turn,(AC) and Defog away hazards. An alternate hazard remover and Fire switch-in is Primordial Sea Starmie. Starmie can do solid damage to all spinblockers, switch into Fire-types(hyphen) for free, (AC) and then proceed to spin or throw out a Scald; it also deals with most Steel-types(hyphen) barring Ferrothorn thanks to rain-boosted(hyphen) Scald. Magic Bounce Gyarados can keep hazards off the field while doubling as a fire switch-in to Fire-type attacks(though if you mean a switch-in to fire-types in general, put "Fire-type" behind "switch-in") and a win condition. Powerful wallbreakers like Tough Claws Pangoro or and Adaptability Tyranitar are good partners, (AC) as they can do massive damage to teams when their monsPokemon are paralyzed;(semicolon) the paralysis also helps slow wallbreakers overcomeing their speed issue. Adaptability Tyranitar can also Pursuit trap Chansey and Goodra, both of which wall this set completely.
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Genesect is a naturally good Choice Scarf user thanks to its largepool of coverage moves movepool and access to U-turn, so it can run a good mixed scarf set. Heck, it could even run the regular Download + Scarf.(redundant and irrelevant) If you're hoping to use Genesect as an offensive pivot and want longetivity, Regenerator can be used over all of these abilities. Regenerator sets generally appreciate U-turn and Extreme Speed and has have a wide array of special moves to choose from as coverage. Primordial Sea Genesect with Thunder and Douse Drive Techno Blast is also an option. While it's not as strong as the other Genesect sets,(AC) it's a solid fire switch-in to Fire-type attacks(though if you mean a switch-in to fire-types in general, put "Fire-type" behind "switch-in") and can fit into teams due to its nice set of resistances and lack of weaknesses. Lastly, The Tough Claws set could run Tinted Lens just as easily,. The tinted lens set boasts boasting the ability to spam unresisted U-turns(not necessarily unresisted, Moltres comes to mind and is mentioned multiple times in this analysis) and get clutch kills on Steel-types(hyphen) with Extreme Speed. It does,(AC) however,(AC) miss the Tough Claws boost on Extreme Speed on a lot of occasions. Funnily and finally, (AC) mixed sets of Genesect can actually run theirits original ability,(AC) Download,(AC) as it can actually outdamage some of the sets mentioned here if youit gets the right boosts at the right time.
Checks and Counters
==================
**Faster Attackers**:Mons likeFaster Pokemon such as Infernape, Latios, Gengar,(AC) and Scarfers(specify scarfers, say "Choice Scarf users") force Genesect out as they can threaten to outspeed and KO it before it makes a move, especially if they’re not in Extreme Speed KO range.
**Bulky Steel types**:(hyphen) Heatran at full health is very threatening to Genesect, (AC) as it almost always avoids getting KO’ed(by? I'd reword this if it doesn't get KOed by anything from full) and retaliates with a Fire move that killsKOes Genesect. Ferrothorn almost always run a Fire immunity ability, (AC) and its great mixed bulk lets it live survive Genesect's moves with ease,(AC) so,(RC) it can allowing it to take a hit and cripple cripple Genesect with Thunder Wave(remove hyphen) or Knock Off. Magnezone boasts resistances to all of Genesect's common coverage moves, barring Fire-type moves and the uncommon Dark Pulse, and can hit it very hard with Thunderbolt. Flash Fire Scizor can take a hit and set up on itGenesect while healing up with Roost, (AC) every other turn, itand if it Genesect lacks setup moves, it can do major damage with Knock Off/ or Superpower.
**Dedicated Physical Walls**:Mons like PhysDefPhysical walls such as Skarmory, Chesnaught,(AC) and Doublade all hardwall physical Genesect sets like Tough Claws Sect but fall to the special variants.
**Flash Fire Steel-types**:(hyphen) Barring Skarmory,(AC) mostother Flash Fire Steel-types(hyphen), such as Doublade and Ferrothorn, can take hits from most Genesect variants and threaten it with attacks (Doublade) or paralyze it (Ferrothorn).

**Fire types**:(hyphen)TheyFire-types give all Genesect variants barring Flash Fire and Primordial Sea trouble as they common Fire types in the tier can tank one hit and OHKO with their Fire STAB.
**Gale Wings**:TheyGale Wings users can generally revenge kill Genesect, but they are beaten by Refrigerate variants. They are also killedKOed by Extreme Speed variants if they're worn down enough, with the exception of Skarmory,(AC) which, (AC) however, (AC) can't actually revenge kill full hp Genesect from full without setting up.

whew, apologies for the two-day delay guys, but here we are :3
couple notes for TBB:
-make sure to hyphenate all compound adjectives cause you were a bit erratic here; things like "near-perfect" and "entry hazard-setting" take hyphens too cause they're adjectives and they're compound. Only hyphenate adjectives if they're used as attributes though, not as predicates (e.g. "the well-known singer" vs. "the singer is well known");
-if the writer discusses "hazards", make sure you change one of those to "entry hazards" cause that's what they are. Once per paragraph is generally fine, then it's clear what kind of "hazards" is being discussed, and changing all of them has a habit of killing the prose;
-always put a comma before "as" if it means "because", not much else to it. Similar to the "while" thing I pointed out somewhere in the check, which always takes a comma f it means "whereas" but not if it means "when".
otherwise be sure to look over my changes and hmu if you want me to clarify anything :>
otherwise, GP 1/2
