is megearna even gonna survive in ubers, too harsh for it. i don't think it'll be viable without lot of support
Sludge is a cool tech, subbed refresh for it and did some work for medark arc is great yes, totally owns the new alola pokes (although toxic solg would certainly annoy it and it doesn't exactly appreciate lunala's wow). cm sludge bomb, as recommended to me by the drizzlers, is what I've mainly been using. it is more than viable, there goes your xern (and... tapu lele? is this being used? it seems mediocre). hits darkrai too and has a nice poison chance which is useful for ogre and such. wisp is fine obviously and it's probably still worth using refresh sometimes
what is the purpose of scarf lunala?
Why is Hypnosis Gengar that popular? I mean no one used it in XY and no one used it in ORAS. It's spammed on ladder these days and people really hope for a 60% hit chance. Almost as good as the people who are using Turn 1 Geomancy lol
I don't think protect has something to do with Hypnosis. There are enough other moves for Gengar. Wow, Sub, D-Bond + usually 2 or 3 attacking moves. Even 4 attacks are possible and pretty nice. Sludge Wave and Shadow Ball are good STAB moves, focus blast hits like a truck and icy wind is a gimmick but pretty nice against Mega Salamence. Even Sucker Punch is possible since Protect isn't needed anymore. It's just for Deo-A or low life MM2Y. You don't need it that often but it can be very helpful. Especially when people are using Pursuit Deo-A, like Fireburn mentioned beforeBecause it does not need Protect anymore. Although I admit I don't like Hypnosis that much - maybe some other pick will become popular later as well.

I wasn't referring to Quinn's post if you were trying to answer my post. I meant that people don't use the item in general. There are many Pokémon that can use this item in order to outspeed the trending threats. Good examples are Scarf Yveltal and Lunala. Both are excellent revenge killers. Yveltal can use U-Turn to gain momentum and get urself in a better position against all the common checks in Psychic teams while Lunala is useful to get rid of a weakened E-Killer.Scarf ttar is terrible. Mega gengar is faster than it lol.
