Gengar @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Cursed Body
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hex
- Sludge Bomb / Focus Blast
- Will-O-Wisp
- Toxic Spikes
Gengar may have fallen, but it's great in RU as a fast status spreader! Hex allows Gengar to deal increased damage to targets afflicted by status; for example, it allows Gengar to OHKO Reuniclus as well as 2HKO Krookodile and Rhyperior after Stealth Rock. Sludge Bomb is used to spread poison onto Heavy-Duty Boots users such as Slowbro, Volcanion, and Noivern. Gengar can also spread poison with it if Toxic Spikes are not in play. Alternatively, Focus Blast can be used to hit foes such as Bisharp, Krookodile, and Empoleon, all of which would provide major problems for Gengar. Will-O-Wisp allows Gengar to spread status even further and greatly weaken physical threats such as Bisharp, Gyarados, and Galarian Zapdos. Gengar excels in providing status support, which is useful for wearing down the likes of Chesnaught, Hippowdon, and Wo-Chien, so teammates that can exploit these walls being chipped such as Gyarados, Maushold, and Crawdaunt work extremely well with it. Choice Scarf users such as Galarian Zapdos and Gardevior can help Gengar out against faster threats such as Noivern and Cyclizar.
