• Shock Drive
• Burn Drive
• Douse Drive
• Chill Drive

The Shock Drive is a type of held item introduced in Generation V. It corresponds to the Electric type. The Shock Drive, along with the other Drives, appeared in Genesect and the Legend Awakened, attached to a member of the Genesect Army. While it was used with the same purpose of changing the type of Techno Blast in the movie, it was also the key item to tell its owner apart from the other Genesect.

The Burn Drive is a type of held item introduced in Generation V.It corresponds to the Fire type. Blake used the Burn Drive to battle Team Plasma on the Plasma Frigate, though, due to it being incomplete at the time, Genesect was injured by its own attack and left exhausted after using Techno Blast on some Team Plasma Grunts. After Blake had later used the Fire-type Techno Blast to save the Swords of Justice from being frozen in ice, Cobalion knocked the damaged Burn Drive off of Genesect's body, after which it exploded.

The Douse Drive is a type of held item introduced in Generation V.It corresponds to the Water type. The Genesect with the Douse Drive had a different personality from the others, and was typically timid and kind unless forced to act by its leader.

The Chill Drive is a type of held item introduced in Generation V. It corresponds to the Ice type. The Chill Drive, along with the other Drives, appeared in Genesect and the Legend Awakened, attached to a member of the Genesect Army. While it was used with the same purpose of changing the type of Techno Blast in the movie, it was also the key item to tell its owner apart from the other Genesect.
