[SET COMMENTS]
* Gengar's useful immunities and fast Encore give it a niche as an incredibly disruptive Pokemon, especially if taking the corrective predictive risks.
* Destiny Bond is excellent at making foes second guess attacking Gengar. When slower foes don't take the bait and use a setup move, Gengar can punish them with Encore.
* Thunder Wave is great at crippling faster sweepers if Gengar's Focus Sash is intact, and punishing fast, common switch-ins such as Hydreigon.
* Sludge Bomb covers Meowscarada and Fairy-types, in addition to being Gengar's most powerful attack.
* Dazzling Gleam OHKOes Hydreigon after Stealth Rock damage and is an appealing secondary STAB move when using Tera Fairy.
* Focus Blast is Gengar's best shot at beating Kingambit outside of Destiny Bond.
* Will-O-Wisp does a great job of crippling bulky sweepers that Gengar can be forced to Destiny Bond against, such as Dragonite and Tera Annihilape.
Tera Types
========
* **Normal**: Tera Normal Gengar can turn slower Ghost-types such as Mimikyu and Annihilape into easy Encore targets.
* **Fairy**: A Dragon-type immunity gives Gengar new Encore targets and better threatens Dragon-types.
* **Flying**: Earthquake is a common attack against Gengar, so Tera Flying can turn the tables effectively. It also takes advantage of common Fissure users such as Dondozo and Garganacl.
* **Dark**: A Dark Tera type lets Gengar surprise Espathra, letting it Encore Stored Power and potentially ruin its sweep.
