What to do with a shadow....
How exactly should I train a Gengar? I just got it in the Old Chateau this morning, and I figured this is one Pokemon I'll actually EV train. (*shocked gasps*) These are its statistics:
Shadow/GENGAR Male Level 16 Exp Points: 2535, 585 to the next Level (Untouched) Jolly nature Proud of its power. Likes sweet food. Hp: 46 Attk: 29 Def: 27 Sp. Attk: 43 Sp. Def: 31 Speed: 45 Ability: Levitate (As if it can get anything else) Spite (Tough) Mean Look (Beauty) Curse (Tough) Night Shade (Smart) I need a good moveset for both battling and contests. Any and all help will be appreciated. ~EmpoleMew and Shadow:t094: |
please use this format:
pokemon @item **nickname trait:ability nature: EV's -move1 -move2 -move3 -move4 you should use this set gengar @wide lens trait:levitate nature:timid/modest EV's: 252 Speed /252 Sp.Attack /6 HP -t-bolt/energy ball -hypnosis -focus blast -shadow ball or Gengar (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate EVs: 196 Atk / 184 Spd / 128 SAtk Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def) - Focus Punch / Hypnosis - Ice Punch / Fire Punch / Giga Drain - Substitute - Thunderbolt MCicegar (ive always wanted to say that) these are for battling |
Ew, Jolly nature. The Speed boost is nice, but Gengar needs his Sp. Attack. Either catch a new one or breed a new one (breeding is better).
|
Timid nature is THE ONLY nature a Gengar should have, and this is one of the best sets
Gengar-Wide Lens/Focus Sash Timid-252 Special Attack, 252 speed Shadow Ball Thunderbolt Focus Blast Hypnosis/Energy Ball/HP Ice |

I prefer having more defenses, and unless you;re using a physical attacking move, Timid is the only

Trait: Levitate EVs: 196 Atk / 184 Spd / 128 SAtk Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def) - Focus Punch - Substitute - Hidden Power [Ice] - Thunderbolt Would be a more 4th gen version of McIceGar, since the elemental punches are physicle. Can't help on contests though. I FAIL at those. lol EDIT: Gengar shouldn't be taking hits anyways. Naive/Hasty works fine, preferably hasty. though timid is best for all special sets. |

Well best 3rd Gen smart contest set is Mean Look, Destiny Bond, Shadow punch, Confuse Ray, not sure about 4th.

But McIceGar is still a nice Gengar, it works pretty well. |
I'm gonna catch some Ghastly to try some of these sets you suggested but I've decided to just do whatever I see good for this Gengar. So I'm going to ask for this thread to be closed.
