Gengar @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Cursed Body
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shadow Ball
- Sludge Wave
- Trick
- Toxic Spikes

This mischievous Generation 1 Pokemon utilizes its bag of tricks to cement itself as one of the best Choice Scarf users in RU, revenge killing a wide variety of Pokemon such as Noivern and boosted Torterra. Trick allows Gengar to cripple the likes of Cyclizar and Umbreon for both itself and teammates. Toxic Spikes can be great against teams without a Poison-type to slowly chip away at their HP, which is especially useful against hyper offense teams that usually lack one. Tera Ghost boosts the power of Shadow Ball to 3HKO Krookodile and 2HKO Terrakion. This Gengar set fits on a wide range of teams from offense to balance that all love its revenge killing capabilities and utility options. Entry hazard setters such as Chesnaught and Registeel are great for Gengar, allowing it to chip targets such as Bisharp and Alolan Muk that would otherwise stonewall it. Dark-types such as Umbreon and Wo-Chien are also great for Gengar, helping against foes such as Crawdaunt and Krookodile that can threaten out Gengar. Gengar appreciates special wallbreakers like Yanmega and Hisuian Goodra, as they can weaken walls enough for Gengar to clean more easily late-game.

This mischievous Gen one Pokemon utilises its bag of tricks to cement itself as one of the best Choice Scarfers in RU, revenge killing a wide variety of Pokemon such as Noivern and boosted Torterra. Trick allows Gengar to cripple the likes of Cyclizar and Umbreon for both itself and teammates. Toxic Spikes can be great against teams without a Poison-type to slowly chip away at their HP, which is especially useful against HO teams who usually lack one. Tera Ghost boosts the power of Shadow Ball to reach feats such as 3HKO Krookodile and 2HKO Terrakion. This Gengar set fits on a wide range of teams from offense to balance who all love its revenge killing capabilities and utility options. Hazard setters such as Chesnaught and Registeel are great for Gengar, allowing it to chip targets such as Bisharp and Umbreon Alolan Muk just so this mon gets a mention that would otherwise stonewall it. Dark-types such as Krookodile and Wo-Chien are also great for Gengar, helping against foes such as Mimikyu and opposing Krookodile that can threaten out Gengar. Not sure these two can really help vs Mimikyu, maybe Crawdaunt instead? Other special attackers such as Gardevoir and Noivern love Gengar being able to weaken special walls with Trick and constant Shadow Balls, as it allows them to clean up easier late game. Scarf Gengar is the cleaner most of the time so I think mentioning special wallbreakers makes more sense here like Yanmega, Hoodra, Basculegion...
