Power up Gengar?
Now with the rebalance, Pokemon such as Alakazam and Genger are as strong as they should be. I have a 91.1% IV Gengar with Shadow claw and Shadow ball and i was wondering if i should invest stardust into it? I still have plenty of Gastly candies from the Halloween event, what do you guys think?
Answers
Gengar's Typing is Ghost, and your attacks are Ghost-type. Stab-Bonus is strong. You have to ask two questions:
(1) Is Gengar a good defender? It's typing is ok, only Ghost and Dark PKM attack super effective into ghost. But Gengar is kind of glass cannon, not the perfect defender in my opinion. Battles will be short and painful, but in my opinion, a good defender should resist for a longer time.
(2) Is Gengar a good attacker? He has a strong attack stat and he is super effective against Psychic - Relevant psychic defenders are Exeggutor and Slowbro, both nerfed and maybe less relevant now. I will try, I also have a strong Gengar with the same moveset, if its matchups are really fast, i will power it to lvl. 30.
