Pokemon GO offers players various Mythical and Legendary encounters through in-game raids. Genesect (Douse) is one of the 5-star raid bosses, and its Shiny variant falls under some of the rarest. Players have a chance to encounter Shiny Genesect (Douse) after defeating it in the raids, but the raid boss is mighty and hard to beat.

As a Mythical 5-star raid boss in Pokemon GO, Genesect (Douse) experiences a boost in its offensive and defensive powers. Players require proper meta-knowledge and a team of potent counters to win against it. While one must defeat the raid boss to get a chance at a Shiny encounter, trainers need to examine its meta to ensure victory.

Get Shiny Genesect (Douse) Through Pokemon GO Raids

Genesect (Douse) and Shiny Genesect (Douse) in Pokemon GO

Genesect (Douse) is a highly potent monster with dual typing of Bug and Steel in Pokemon GO. Only by defeating this raid boss can one get a chance to encounter Shiny Genesect (Douse). Since the raid boss is an extremely powerful Mythical monster, winning requires a team of trainers to defeat it.

However, the Shiny encounter isn't guaranteed; some Pokemon GO players may encounter it while others might not. One must catch up to its shiny spawn rate to encounter a Shiny Genesect (Douse). The basic strategy is to defeat as many 5-star raid bosses as possible to maximize Genesect (Douse) encounters.

As powerful as Genesect (Douse) is as a raid boss, it has weaknesses, and players must know them before attempting the raid. The monster is weak against Fire-type moves while resisting Normal, Grass, Poison, Bug, Dragon, Fairy, Ice, Steel, and Psychic-type attacks in Pokemon GO. Trainers must build a battle roster with strong counters while avoiding resistance.

After players take down the raid boss, there is a chance of a Shiny Genesect (Douse) appearing nearby. However, players should note that a Shiny encounter isn't guaranteed; some players may encounter one after defeating the raid boss, while others might not. Players must participate in multiple raids and defeat as many Genesect (Douse) as possible. Doing this might help players catch up to the Mythical monster’s Shiny spawn rate in Pokemon GO.
