What’s interesting is that Gengar gets a little more bulk than it’s younger self, meaning that it can win against Haunter, though it needs 1 shield as Haunter wins the CMP tie. Gengar’s still exceptional as a glass cannon in raids, but it doesn’t need Shadow Punch.There’s a clear comparison to be made between Gengar and it’s pre-evolution, Haunter. It’ll definitely pull it’s weight!However, for as many strong wins it has, it suffers some painful losses, Obstagoon being one of the most severe. If a Trainer interacts with the PokéStop (items are still given) or the Grunt, a battle will ensue in order to defend the invaded PokéStop.
I already have a Gengar with Sucker Punch and Shadow Ball. However I discovered that we can't get Gengar's best attacker moveset anymore. Gengar also retains it’s fear of Confusion, with some Cresselia sets and Armored Mewtwo being the main users in Ultra League. I know it is tempting to purify Shadow Mewtwo. Winning Team GO Rocket Bat… It’ll struggle against several common Pokemon, such as Snorlax and Dragonite, but it’s strength and strong wins make it worth a shot.While Shadow Punch may not change things much for Gengar raidwise, it’ll thrust it into the PvP spotlight to shine as a strong glass cannon, now that it has a baiting move. I gathered 125 candies and I have a nice Ghastly. Then it comes down to type, but dark and ghost both are super effective to psychic and ghost type defenders. In a league dominated by bulk, glass cannons are a rare sight. It’s counters and strong matchups seem similar to Ultra; Good against Charm, Grass and Fighting, bad against Dark, Normal, and high DPS Glass Cannons. Some of you probably caught a Shadow Mewtwo whose IVs were at least 13 in each stat. Purifying a 13/13/13 would make it a hundo, and having a hundo Mewtwo is indeed tempting. Of course, typically Gengar gets 1 or 2 shot by whatever it’s fighting, in some cases like Confusion Mewtwo it barely has a chance, and the damage difference between Shadow Ball and Shadow Punch is major enough to make the latter not worth considering. I try my best to head out daily, but sometimes my insomnia gets the better of me and I end up sleeping until 4pm. Team GO Rocket is invading PokéStops all around the world. Dedicated, focused and loving Pokémon GO. Shadow Kadabra 232 Giratina (Origin Forme) 225 Haunter 223 Shadow Banette 218 Banette 218 Reuniclus 214 Mismagius 211 Shadow Mismagius 211 Ninjask 199 Abra 195 Shadow Abra 195 Shadow Crobat 194 Crobat It does have a minor use; squeezing out one last fast attack before going down. I already have a Gengar with Sucker Punch and Shadow Ball. Maybe Gengar would have better luck without any legendaries…Gengar looks quite promising in the new Premier Cup, being a strong counter to common Fighting types such as Lucario and Machamp. Being somewhat solid in 3 different formats is a feat matched only by Swampert, so it’s worth looking for some high quality Gastly to evolve this coming Community Day!A simple guy who enjoys drinking coffee (to the point of addiction) and going for walks (to the point of exhaustion). These PokéStops twitch and appear discolored. Hex slower move is more effective on defense than Sucker punch.We are going to be able to obtain TM's any day now. These PokéStops have a different appearance than regular PokéStops in the Map View. Notable wins are Azumarill, Meganium and Skarmory in the 1 shield matchup, while some harsh losses are Altaria and Galarian Stunfisk. Sucker Punch w/ Shadow Ball and Hex w/ Shadow Ball are both B grade.Should I power up my Gengar or should I risk and try to get Hex w/ Shadow Ball one?I have the same situation with Gengar, but with Sucker Punch / Sludge Bomb. Being somewhat solid in 3 different formats is a feat I need advice please. Sucker Punch Gengar will require a lot of skill and good team composition to master, but if you use Haunter you’ll be at home!Gengar’s archetype is rarely seen in Ultra League aside from Charizard, so it’ll definitely be interesting. This is more of a rant than anything. Have you ever seen this happen? Gengar will see some impressive wins, including against Psycho Cut Cresselia, Venusaur, and all Charm users. Hey guys! Seeing as though Metagross is one of the most popular Pokemon in the cup (in theory), that’s no small feat!
If you have enough candy only to evolve a new one but not power it up, I would not do it.After the change in STAB multiplier, Hex does 10 DPS and Sucker Punch also 10 DPS (in continuous attack, not gym defense). I gathered 125 candies and I have a nice Ghastly. I was battling… Just use it when you get it.Pokémon is Copyright Gamefreak, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company 2001-2018. It also struggles against other glass cannons, such as Swampert and Charizard, as they can be faster to get their moves off. Shadow Mewtwo – should I purify it or not? Shadow ball is plenty.
