Power up this Gengar after cp update?

Hey all.
Now Gengar have very high attack stats (261). Should i power up this one?.

IVs: 91.1%;
CP: 1769;
Moveset: Shadow Claw/Sludge Bomb.

This move is rated A for offense and both attacks have stab besides be strong ag. many types.

After the update, you think that Gengar is good enough to spend dust? your opinion is welcome.

I'd say yes. I also have some gengar that I'm now planning to power up (or at least 1 of them)...plus it's fun to play with Gengar...and Alakazam.

Now I understand why Gengar had that sinister smile on the loading screen...ït had that "wait and see what I'm going to do" look... LOL

Hahaha, thanks. I'll just wait the Attackers Tier List update to confirm this beast rank and will max it out.

I think you should wait man. The meta just changed, and even though i don't thin that will change much, you never know. Wait before power up ANY pokemon.

agreed think Rhydon now will be top tier for attacking but better wait a week or so to see what really happens.

Yea, i will wait the Attackers Tier List update. I guess Gengar isnt more 6.5/10 and will have a nice position. But i will wait before click power up.

No. so many better things to power up than a gengar. Yea shadow claw is nice but still, i would never power it up. His hp is pathetic.

Bad hp yeah but amazing attack! (Dragonite 263, Gengar 262). He might be good a lot with dodge.

Shadow Claw (Ghost): 1.25x Psychic/Ghost.
Sludge Bomb (Poison): 1.25x Grass/Fairy.

Can be a very fun counter to Exeggutor and Alakazam.

Despite his new stats, I don't think Gengar will be worth investing in. His HP is too low to make for a good defender, nor is Ghost/Dark/Poison attackers going to see much use due to Psychic/Fairy/Grass being nerfed.

I have a 2127 CP Gengar with 87% IV and the same moveset, so I really hope I'm mistaken though ;)

I can't wait to see the tier list now. I was hoping for move buffs, didn't see this coming at all.

Gamepress has got a lot to do.

I've held off on Gengar for now and have focused on Gyarados, Rhydon (with Stone Edge), and Jolteon (replacing Victrabeel as my main water counter). I don't see any immediate role for Gengar in my lineup. He would be a great Eggy counter but Eggy has been nerfed and should be less prevalent in gyms. May also end up a good Alakazam counter.

I think Exeggutors will still on gyms...very small nerf, still a monster with high CP. Thank you!.

I was caught this guy during halloween event. Checked his IV A12/H15/D15 , and evolved him to gengar and it came with ranked A moveset. Before CP balance, I was fully powered up this guy as maxed out(18xx) because I like to play with gengar. At the end of the day its just a game. You can not enjoy the game with the same moves and same pokemon. After this update I used this guy vs. 2 vapo (17xx, 22xx) and killed bot of them with approx. %20 hp left. dodged almost every single attack. Power this guy up! :)
