    no, you wouldn't go first because even at max speed nidoking's speed doesn't even break 300(something like 295) while most gengars have 350 speed. gengar with psychic kills it. i'd always sub up first and use one of the physical sweeps accordingly. shadowball isn't a bad idea, i think, as mono poison means all your pokes are weak to psychic. if you sub up then you should be able to OHKO psychic and ghost types with shadowball.

    use hp fire set. it's much much better. gives you an edge against other grass types and skarms and metagross. i don't suggest venasaur against dragons anyway cuz they usually have flying attack which hurt and/or ice beam. hp fire can kill steel types in two hits. you already have ice on gengar and tentacruel anyway.

    that's why you anticipate. an opponent would be foolish if they don't switch when they know their poke is about to get OHKO'ed. switch the turn they switch. to either nidoking for metagross or gengar for skarms.

    looks fine. i don't use qwilifish so i don't know... looks okay. you already have crobat and nidoking though, both of whom are physical sweepers and both have sludge bomb. why don't you try a tank here instead? use weezing.

    Gengar: 252 evs sp a, speed, 4 evs hp timid nature, salac/petaya
    psychicconsidered giga drain?
    hypnosis *a surprise and helps vs a psychic and/or steek *ie metagross* that would sweep my mono team*destiny bond
    ice punch
    t-bolt *bolt/beam status
    i use destiny bond on my gengar. it works as long as you don't get paralyzed,so watch out for pokes that use status. also if you see alakazam, don't try to outrun it cuz alakazam at max speed has 372 speed and gengar at max is 350, in which case you are forced to switch. i guess you can always give him endure over destiny bond. endure activates salac berry making him faster than kazam.. but then i don't think ice punch and tbolt can OHKO kazam anyway, or can it? you also risk the possibility of opponents bringing in tyranitar which kills you gengar with sandstorm, and he still has kazam who can sweep your team any time.

    i meant to say "it" not i, sorry for the nidoking confusion, and really the point of no sball is that a ghost type "gengar" will go first, and if its dusclops then my eq will be 150 base damage, and only 10 less than a super effective 160 base damage shadow ball.

    well, if you sub up the turn they send in gengar, then you have a chance. gengar use psychic, breaks sub, nido king uses shadow ball = bye bye gengar. i mean what are you going to do if they bring in gengar? sub in venasaur? venasaur can take a psychic but the 2nd hit kills it. i guess it's better if you just avoid psychic and ghost types but then again, kazam, gengar, and dusclops are 3 of the most OU pokes EVER. let's not even get to celebi, jirachi, etc. is there a dark/poison type by any chance cuz this team needs resistance against psychic in the worst possible way.
     
    well, i have my tentacruel to mirror coat psychics, and jirachi is taken care of by nidoking's earthquake, celebi is taken care of by a 4x super effective mega horn, or just wait till lieichi activates and use sludgebomb, not to mention crobat has hp flying, quilphish has sludebomb, and can liechi berry, and i wont switch out if i know nidoking will die unless its a ground/normal move, inwhich i send out gengar, (or crobat for ground moves). after nidoking dies, i usually have venasuar or gengar sleep powder the 1 who killed my king, and then im not in danger.
     
    well it'll be interesting to see how you manage to sub in tentacruel to mirror coat psychic. tentacruel has pretty good sp.def so he can maybe take 2 psychics, but remember he'll be taking a hit when he comes in, so techinically he needs to be strong enough to withstand at least 3 hits(unless you sacrifice a pokemon to bring him in, which can bite you later on).
