What's a good Moveset for Gengar?

What's a good Moveset for Gengar?
;094;
The Only MS I've seen for Gengar is
Focus Punch
Thunderbolt
Substitute
Ice Punch

This set doesn't make sense to me because Gengar has wicked Sp. Attk and that set has only 1 Special move.

Hypnosis
Dream Eater/Energy Ball
Focus Blast
Shadow Ball

I'm also wondering if this is a good Donphan MS (I made it myself so it's prolly pretty bad).

;232;Donphan
Earthquake
Fire Fang
Thunder Fang
Rapid Spin

I'm mostly curious if Fire Fang/Thunder Fang are good choices on Donphan. They cover all of Donphan's weaknesses (Grass, Water, Ice) but I dunno.

Don't use Dream Eater, your opponent can jsut switch. Worse if you're playing with the Sleep Clause.

Gengar @ Black Sludge
Timid / Hasty / Naive
EVs: 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Speed / 4 HP
- Hypnosis
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt / Focus Blast
- Substitute / Explosion

Only use Explosion if you're not using Timid nature, and give it some Atk EVs if so.

Gengar @ Choice Specs
Timid
EVs: 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Speed / 4 HP
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Thunderbolt
- Energy Ball / Sludge Bomb

Specs version, self-explanantory.

Giga is not needed whatsoever, if you want a Grass move, go with Energy Ball. Oh yeah, so you're saying to switch out on a Tyranitar and let your opponent get a free DDance? I wouldn't do that. It needs Focus Blast, and also, not 1 single Pokemon resists both Shadow Ball and Focus Blast.

If it has only one DD, Gengar is still fast enough to kill it in one turn.
