Gengar as a poison attacker
If for some reason you wanted to use Gengar as a poison-type attacker, what is the best moveset? Gamepress gives Shadow Claw/Sludge Bomb a B, but gives Lick/Sludge Bomb an X. I'm a little confused by this -- I would think Lick is better if poison is SE or in cloudy weather, since Lick has faster energy gain. Thoughts?
How would Lick/Sludge Bomb Gengar stack up against Roserade?

That is super helpful -- it's clear Roserade is leaps and bounds above Gengar for this purpose. Moreover, since the fast moves perform similarly, it's clear that if you want to have a poison Gengar, probably better to evolve a level 35 gastly and give it something like hex/sludge vs powering up one of my Lickers.
Lick gives you more than 1 DPS over Hex in thus scenario, so unless you really need that Lick Gengar for something else, a Lick/Sludge Bomb Gengar is a good idea. Wish I had one, missed the event :) The only thing which could lead to second thoughts is that poison is not very useful given the lack of targets.
