Admittedly Gengar doesn't match up well against the dead common lead TTar and I get Pursuited to death quite often, so I might switch my lead to either my own TTar or something else, probably Flygon. I'm currently testing both. I'm gonna take on your suggestion of not leading with Gengar, and as such I'm keeping my Gengar set the same. Leading and what you lead with isn't that big a deal in ADV as it is in DPP, but in this case it's probably advisable due to bad matchups against other leads in general. On TTar, I've used HP Grass over Crunch a couple of times, but I prefer Crunch as Swampert, once it's seen Pursuit, is often scared out and it takes Spikes damage. Swampert can't switch in on TTar and Flygon forever, and Suicune stops it cold (Gengar also beats non Hydro-Pumping variants), and it's scared of Zapdos until it sees Roar and even then it still loses through Pressure stall eventually. Also, Crunch adds that extra level of insurance, and dead ghosts make me a happy man. Thanks for the rate - Triangles.
