Gengar

Hi everyone.

 

This is my first time using forums! Anyways  I was wondering what moves should i have my gengar learn for high dps?

Sludge Bomb and Shadow Ball for me are absolute on my Gengar Haunter.

 

Strong STAB moves since its not gonna survive a lot.

 

You also could not evolve it like I did (Haunter has Levitate not Cursed Body, so it keeps its Ground Immunity, its 2x on Gengar, Plus Eviolite could give it a little durability, not much)

 

I also use Thunderbolt for coverage and Destiny Bond for trollage. May as well try it if you're low on HP and quicker than them

 

I dont PVP tho so if its not viable someone will crucify me and my setup lol

I bolded the set that i use. while Scizor Choice Band stays meta, they work well(Because of Pursuit Scizor, my set is for prevent this trapping strat for working.)
