Gengar @ Focus Sash
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Counter
- Destiny Bond
- Shadow Ball
- Hypnosis

Altough it requires a bit of ballsy prediction, with this set Gengar more than often incapacitates 1-2 of your opponent's Pokémon. In the best scenario, you can put 1 Pokémon to sleep, pull off a Counter KO and go out with a Bang, I mean, Bond. Shadow Ball is used as a no brainer against common taunt users, and it can be awesome in some cases your opponent switches Espeon in predicting Hypnosis. And believe me, that happens a lot.
