Pokémon: Shiny Gengar
Nickname: Shazam
Hold Item: Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252Speed, 252 Spc. Attack, 4 HP
Move 1: Substitute
Move 2: Shadowball
Move 3: Focus Blast
Move 4: Hypnosis
Legal Status: Legal
Description/Strategy:
Since Gengar's excellent type coverage forces a lot of switches, it can use Substitute to great effect. It helps deal with Tyranitar and Scizor, two of Gengar's greatest nemeses, by scouting the switch and letting Gengar hit them with the appropriate 4x super effective attack. Substitute is especially important given the popularity of Choice Scarf Tyranitar, which would otherwise be able to pick off Gengar with near impunity. It also allows Gengar to evade status such as Celebi and Blissey's Thunder Wave. Shadow Ball and Focus Blast give Gengar the unresisted Ghost / Fighting coverage.
