What? 75/95/95 Bug/Steel (aka, a lot of nice resists) and you think it's frail? Really? o_OSince most Ubers Sp.Def is higher than their Defense, he will mostly get Attack boosts, which means he'll have to rely on Bug Opposistion and X-Scissor.. His Special Movepool is really large though, and if you manage to get a special variant in on Groudon you're set.
His 99 Base Speed is a huge let down though. Getting outspeed by Manaphy, Palkia, Lati@s, etc. really isn't cool. He's also really frail.
That set looks nice, and considering that Politoed has Drizzle now, too. He can run Thunder outside of whatever prospective uber metagame shapes up. And, there's all those other dragons like Salamence, Dragonite, etc., that will suffer to this set too.Genosect is one of the few Pokemon that can revenge kill both Swords Dance and Dragon Dance Rayquaza, like Scarf Jirachi. Except Genosect can actually hurt stuff. Unfortunately, it's slower than Salamence....I have this set in mind

It's a shame that Genosect has nothing to hit Reshiram super effectively with :(
(Genosect <3)
Poor movepool?This thing is gonna be OU I don't see it being ubers. With all the newly powered threats in the metagame and with it's poor movepool it really doesn't have much going for it. I mean, if your thinking about it's offensive stats think about Azelf with 125 in attack and special attack

This is a very interesting high-tech robot bug thingy. Looks kinda like a walking car with a gun on its back. Now let's see how this sucker is.

The first thing you may notice are excellent typing, good mixed attacking stats, Download, and decent bulk.
Here are some good and the bad about him:
There are many better choices for what Genosekuto can do, unfortunately. However, I think that Download will be what helps Genosekuto find his niche in Ubers (or OU if he isn't determined "strong" enough)
- Good Typing - Bug/Steel is an excellent type combination and will allow Genosekuto to switch into the many powerful Dragon type attacks that plague Ubers.
- Excellent Mixed Attacking Stats - 120 in both Attack and Special Attack means that Genosekuto will put a large dent in anything, although his special movepool is superior to his physical movepool.
- Download - This is one of the things that stood out to me. With a download boost Genosekuto boasts incredible power, dealing an impressive 61.1%-72.1% to Lugia, assuming 252+ and a Download boost.
- Explosion - A powerful attack that will allow him to take out special walls such as the ever annoying Blissey.
- Lack of Boosting Moves - This really annoys me about Genosekuto as his only useful boosting move is Rock Polish. No moves that will help him abuse his more useful special movepool.
- Barren Physical Movepool - The one thing that stops him from being a viable mixed attacker. Really, his only usable moves would probably be U-turn, X-scissor, and lol quick attack.
- 99 Base Speed - This is just fail. Genosekuto will be outsped by many things because of one little tiny base point.
One thing i think is weird on Smogon people
you forget an important stuff he is going to
be nearly unobtianble cause normaily the
last pokemon on dex is rare as hell
ex:mew,celebi,deoxys,arceus and probablly GENOSEKUTO
And now, discuss!
