Gengar is a powerful wallbreaker thanks to its high Special Attack and Speed stats combined with access to strong STAB moves, such as Moongeist Beam, which allows Gengar to 2HKO walls like non-Assault Vest Toxapex and Seismitoad. Sludge Wave hits threatening Fairy- and Grass-types such as Clefable and Rillaboom super effectively. Nasty Plot can be used instead of Sludge Wave to set up on walls crippled through Trick, such as Blissey, since Ghost- and Fighting-type coverage take care of almost all threats. Focus Blast gives Gengar an option to hit Ghost-resistant foes like Tyranitar, Chansey, and Porygon2. Gengar fits well on offensive teams that appreciate its ability to quickly remove threats and hinder opposing walls with Trick. Bulkier Pokemon such as Clefable and Seismitoad particularly enjoy having it knock out Pokemon that they are too passive to remove themselves. Pokemon like Thundurus-T and Rotom-H who are threatened by Tyranitar also benefit from Gengar's ability to 2HKO it. Due to its frailty, Gengar appreciates defensive teammates like Ferrothorn and Buzzwole that can take strong hits from threatening Pokemon like Aerodactyl, Cinderace, and Weavile, as well as pivots such as Corviknight, Toxapex, and Tornadus-T that can safely bring it in.
