Alakazam or Gengar?
 
now this is for my OU team... my other special sweeper is

Yanmega @ Leftovers/Wide Lens
Modest
252 SAtk/176 Spd/80 Hp
-Protect
-Bug Buzz
-Air Slash
-Hp Ice/Shadow Ball/Hypnosis

lead. wide lens is for hypnosis. need small help there.

the common alakazam is

Alakazam @ Wise Glasses/Wide Lens (helps focus blast)
Modest/Timid
252 SAtk/252 Spd/4 Hp
-Calm Mind
-Psychic
-Focus Blast
-Shadow Ball/Energy Ball

and Gengar

Gengar @ Wise Glasses/Wide Lens (helps FB and hypnosis)
Modest/Timid
252 SAtk/252 Spd/4 Hp
-Hypnosis
-Thunderbolt
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast

i cant decide between Gengar or Alakazam. i also need a little assistance on yanmega. thanks.

I would say Gengar because Alakazam has really lousy defence - one earthquake would kill it. But then again, seen as Gengar is a poison and ghost pokemon, that might be a problem too *-)

bossman34 August 13th, 2007 4:43 PM

hmm thanks for the input.. anyone else care to help?

How would EQ hurt Gengar if Gengar has Levitate?

darkphoenixdude August 13th, 2007 4:44 PM

Oh, whoopsy ^^ Guess it wouldn't hurt him then ^^ Go with Gengar! :D

alakzam is faster and holds the slight edge in terms of special sweeping though they're both good. gengar is a little less fragile and you can never complain about normal and fighting immunity, which makes gengar a lot easier to bring in and can drive your opponent nuts especially if it's holding a choice item.

Gengar. because Nike said so.

Edit: crap I'm not in Pokeland forum anymore. gengar, has resistances and one of the most diverse movepools in the game.
