Genesect in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Genesect appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon. It attacks with its signature move, Techno Blast, in which Genesect jumps around the stage while shooting four small laser bursts before following it up with a large beam that deals low knockback. After jumping and landing twice, Genesect will fire a much stronger laser that can pass through terrain and cannot be blocked with a shield, similarly to the Daybreak. Genesect's attack does not harm whomever summoned it.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Genesect is an unlockable Poké Ball Pokémon; it cannot appear from a Poké Ball until after the player has played Endless Smash for the first time. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Genesect is available from the start.

Both games include a trophy of Genesect that can be unlocked as a random drop.
