High offensive threat and very vulnerable fragility still causes Gengar to demand shields to perform most optimally, with very scary potential to play bait-and-nuke tactics against Pokemon that can't eliminate Gengar quickly. Gastly Community Day allows Gengar to perform very similarly to the scary Haunter, with identical movesets (and additional options for Gengar) and similar bulk. It's also worth raising at least one for the sake of Mega Gengar, which takes everything good about Gengar and makes it even better. An evasive Gengar will swiftly deplete large chunks of a raid boss’s HP. Gengar can earn its spot on raid teams against specific bosses to help beat the clock, but it requires immaculate dodging to be effective. Normal-types such as Blissey and Snorlax, common sights in gyms, also doubly resist Gengar's optimal movesets. Unfortunately, Gengar is weak to the Psychic-types that it's supposed to counter, causing it to underperform in scenarios where total damage output matters more than DPS. Its Ghost typing hits a wide variety of targets for neutral damage, and handy resistances can make up for its extreme frailty. While Gengar's sky-high DPS has been surpassed by the even more extreme glass cannon Deoxys-A, it still tops the DPS charts and has fantastic overall performance for a glass cannon. Gengar has the honor of having access to literally all of the best Ghost type moves in the game. Shadow Punch is great on defense thanks to its low energy cost, STAB, and narrowly avoided typing.Focus Blast and Sludge Wave are unusable Gengar will not survive to use them.Shadow Ball is powerful and narrowly resisted, but can be seen coming from a mile away.Sludge Bomb and Dark Pulse both have 2 bars and are difficult to dodge the former is benefited by STAB.Psychic is a good option and allows Gengar to heavily threaten opposing Machamp.Shadow Claw has less power and less energy gain than Hex.That said, Hex hits the hardest and is therefore optimal. Defending with a Gengar is not advisable due to its very low bulk.Shadow Punch, Gengar's Community Day move, is too weak to be useful on offense.Psychic is a good charged move, but it has no utility on Gengar.Dark Pulse is generally awful and offers almost no advantages over Shadow Ball.For Gengar's legacy moves, Sludge Wave has the same problem as Sludge Bomb's lack of type synergy in addition to being a 1 bar move that doesn't complement Gengar's frailty.Normal-type foes, but overall is an inferior option. Sludge Bomb also has STAB, but its Poison typing lacks synergy with Ghost-type attacks.Shadow Ball is Gengar's best charge move, sharing the same type as its best fast moves.Hex and Sucker Punch are quite close in performance the main difference is that Hex is resisted by fewer types.Lick is also a strong attack with less power, but faster energy gain than Shadow Claw. Both perform similar DPS.Shadow Claw is a strong attack with decent energy gain.
