Gengar dilemma
Hello,
I am fortunate to have some Legacy SC Gengars, although none has super good Ivs. I have the dust and candies for maxing one (one of my favs) but can´t decide which. My dilemma is (A/D/S):
13/6/13 (71%)--SC*/ShB
100% --H/ShB
(both at lvl 30)
Please give me your opinion of which you would choose (or already chose) giving the current use for gengar, the difference between the movesets, and a possible (likely) moveset change (gen 4 for e.g)
thanks :)

Gengar is a Glass Cannon at the best of times, so the low Defense just means that you need to dodge a few extra Quick Moves. The Shadow Claw is worth it - maybe it's a "Power Up when there's nothing else to power up immediately." sort of power up, but you can't go wrong with powering up an Attack 13/Shadow Claw Gengar.
The shadow claw one is usually going to be better, but if you are talking about maxing one of them to level 40, I think you would be better served by powering them both up to some level in between, say, level 36. Or power the SC/SB up to level 37, and the H/SB up to 34, or something like that. Having two strong double-ghost Gengars is useful, and you won't get that much of a performance increase spending the extra candy and dust to gain those last few levels on just one.
