Matchmaker Matchmaker make me McIceGar

I need help creating a McIceGar for use in link battles.
I understand a good moveset to be:
Thunderbolt
Ice Punch
Substitute
Focus Punch

...and that's about all I know.
I need help with both a nature and a proper EV spread. Because I want to keep things rational, let's say that the gengar in question only has about 20 of every IV.

Thanks much.

McIceGar is **** in link battles.

You'd be better off using the sp. sweeper.

Dray I don't think that's what's used, that's why too much attack especially for McIceGar who isn't using Shadow Ball.

I use enough Attack EVs for 215 in the stat, which is enough to 2HKO Blissey. Either 300 or 332 Speed and the rest in Special Attack, with a Hasty Nature.

if you wanted to make a standard McGar, before the emerald Ice Punch tutor, you'd use dray's set w/ lonely. but the whole point of McIceGar is that you can dump more into SAtk. above poster's suggestion is good.

also, shichiro: "mama likes a big ol' easter basket on her bunny!" ~ Robin Williams. lol sig.

Ok, how about this. Let's say I've got a Gengar with 25 IVs in every stat (I'll be able to get this). That means with an EV spread of 240 Atk / 176 SpAtk / 94 Spd, he'll have 255 HP, 220 Atk, 135 Def, 334 SpAtk, 180 SpDef, and 300 Spd.

Is this satisfactory or should I redo the spread?

0ma I swear I've 2HKO'd a shitload of Blisseys using Focus Punch and 215 Attack, maybe it was luck but I definitely didn't get CH's or anything.

Oh well, 220 is fine.
