Me gengar!

[Nightcat]

Thank god, this thread is sort of different from my other ones!
Anyway, my shiny gengar has an adamant nature, and it's current set is:

Gengar@nothing
adamant nature
- focus punch
- sub
- shadow ball
- hypnosis

And I was thinking of replacing hypnosis with explosion, sso it can be physical.
I can use most tutors, including the BF ones, etc.

[Crypted Wolf]

you could use CB Gengar.

gengar@choice band.
adamant nature
- focus punch/brick break
- explosion/fire,tunderpunch (if your aftaid or skarmory).
- shadow ball
- sludge bomb

 

[Nightcat]

Nah, I like the subPunching one.
And I'm not sure if I have the sludge bomb TM.

So, is explosion over hypnosis good anyone?

~nightcat ;197;

 

[chaos952]

Will-O-Wisp over Hypnosis.

 

[Overheat Hothead]

Modest @Lefties
-Thunderbolt
-Firepunch
-Icepunch
-Giga Drain/Psychic/Hypnosys
Pretty fun

 

[Crypted Wolf]

Yeah it fun. But not with adamant.

 

[Overheat Hothead]

that is why i said modest

 

[Crypted Wolf]

oppps didnt see that..my bad BTW if your use sub focus usw W-O-W like what choas952 said because W-O-W is mre acurite than hiponsis.

since this is for in-game, don't subpunch. gengar doesn't have the defenses to pull it off. computer AI isn't smart enough to use most non-attacking moves, and when it does is unpredictable. hypnopunching works, i guess, if you want to deal with hypnosis's 60% accuracy. myself, i'd probably go for CBGar, with Shadow Ball/Brick Break/Sludge Bomb/Explosion. if you can't get SB, then get it anyway. just trade with someone, it shouldn't be that hard to get them to part with a TM36. it's CBgar's strongest attack that doesn't kill itself.

or you could go for thunderbolt, to deal with physical walls (like CBmence has fire blast).

 

[Nightcat]

um, I CAN'T BREED FOR MOVES!
It's special attack is like 144 or something, it's attack is 95, so should I make it special even though it has an adamant nature?
If that's the case, then what's the special set(s) for it?

~nightcat ;197;

 

[RoboRaph]

What about..

- Sub/Hypnosis/Ice Punch/Psychic
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
- Explosion (or one of the moves given in the first slot if you don't like it)

Shadow Ball is for low defense psychics, Sub can screw the AI by making it use status or stat lowering moves over and over, the rest is self explanatory.

 

[Nightcat]

So a mixed gengar...
I'll have to make it relearn t-bolt, and should I go with boom or ice punch?
I like both of them, but I can't decide which one.

~nightcat ;197;

 

[magnemiteZ]

Your best bet (with the nature its got) is;
Gengar@ Leftovers / Choice Band
-Sludge Bomb
-Shadow Ball
-Explosion / Hypnosis / Substitute
-Focus Punch / Thunderbolt

Thank god, this thread is sort of different from my other ones!

How so?

 

[Nightcat]

Because i'm actually gonna use Gengar in my team.

Let's see... I like subPunching, so i'll have that, and I do have sludge bomb, so I'll just teach it that, and i'll be done!
Thnx to everyone who helped!

~nightcat ;197;

 

[Crypted Wolf]

shadow ball>>>>sludge bomb IMO. Shadowball covers more types and covers your Pyschic and goast weekness..

 

[Nightcat]

I know, it has both.
It's:

Gengar@nothing
adamant nature
- shadow ball
- sludge bomb
- sub
- focus punch

I will give him lefties as soon as I get 48 BP.

~nightcat ;197;

 

[Crypted Wolf]

K good luck.

 

[magnemiteZ]

imo getting one with a better MS and Nature is better than using a Shiny one in the BF. Keep that one for comedic values, but get a Hasty one for the BF. It will help you a lot more.

 

[Nightcat]

Yeah, I might sometimes use it for the BF, although I don't really care about the BF except to get the symbols sometime and to get 5 more lefties.
thnx everybody!
