Would a physical attacking Choice band Genesect using U-Turn faint Zarude?

Just wondering if it’s a valid counter to Zarude, seeing as it has a *4 bug weakness.

Genesect is Ubers, and Zarude is NU, so it’s weird that you will see Genesect counter it, as it would die to U-Turn from ant Bug-type in NU with average attack and while 252 HP/252 Def may allow it survive, nonetheless that EV set wouldn’t be useful.

As you told, physically defensive:

Most Bug-types with STAB would OHKO it with U-Turn, despite good defenses but 4x weakness.Hope this helps!
