Now that MegaGengar has been banned from OU, Focus Sash DBond Gengar should be taken in higher consideration for a similar strategic function. Not exactly the same, but KOing that particular pokémon is often the turning point that decides who's gonna win, and a good player can do that even with...

Thank you Jukai for the almost perfect explanation, now I see your point very well. Also I wonder why couldn't I think of it by myself.

Doesn't MegaGyarados deserve maybe an ev distribution that makes it a little bulkier? I thinks it's a good option for a bulky sweeper other than pure sweeper, does it not?

In the Focus Sash set you just edited, I would say that Taunt doesn't work only for special walls, but also to lure one particular threat to the entire team (Gengar's too) in the DBond trap. That was the key function I initially figured for this move. Obviously, thanks to Gengar's speed, in can...

I don't know if this is an old or discarded set, but trying it out you can find that with proper prediction this set I've "built" can really be threatening. Just to prove that normal Gengar has some more cards up its sleeve to play: Gengar @ Focus Sash Ability: Levitate EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk /...

I haven't seen sub-split set in a while, so the main drawback (out of infiltrators and exploud boomburst) of the sub-disable set is it's predictability once the opponent sees the substitute, if using it against non-suckerpunch faster threats. I think.

I'd suggest a variant of the choice scarf set, with Infiltrator instead of Flash Fire, to work as anti-phazer, anti-taunt, stall- and wallbreaker.

SubDisable is Gengar's best answer to SuckerPunch MegaKangashan (and everything else), who otherwise simply scratches is back looking Gengar dying as nothing. Since Gengar is immune to sound moves for they're all normal type (well, we are only afraid of Boomburst, aren't we?), and is afraid only...

Has anyone tested wether Banette/Shuppet gets trick-or-treat as egg move?

What about an Assault Vest set? He's bulkier than the opponent and, with proper prediction and max investment in speed, it can still be a good revenge killer, even if slower. Or just switch in a choice-locked-whatever poke. Only problem is that it cannot set-up, but so does the Choice Scarf one too.

Ok, I love MM Y, it's the ultimate god pokémon. But I'd humbly propose a set I've thought for MM X, a mixed bulky "sweeper" (only I don't put clear evs because I'm writing this out of the blue) : Evs: Def, Sp.Def and Spe (even though you can apply Sp.Def evs in HP or one of the attacks instead)...

Hi guys, here I introduce you a team which provides me great satisfaction thanks to its combos and playstyle. In order to use this team properly, prediction plays a major key role, that's why I'd like to see it in the hands of a more prepared trainer than me. What I ask is to RateMyTeam and help...
