Gengar: SC vs. current movests and power-up advice
So I have a lot of Gengar — mainly from the Halloween event last year, but I never really picked any to power-up beyond their levels. I thought maybe y'all could help me out.
Now, Is SC so much better than Hex? So much so thatI should be pushing that moveset over a Hex/SB mon with better EVs?
I omitted some higher-level Gengars who have mediocre IVs and movesets.

King Hamlet - Hex/Shadowball • A15/D14/S15 • Level 18 (1343 CP) Puck - Hex/Sludgebomb • A15/D11/S14 • Level 22 (1620 CP)Answers
I can't remember what the SC breakpoint is vs Mewtwo, but compare that with the level for the defensive breakpoint (vs Mewtwo's confusion) which I think is 32.5 for Def14. If the att10 breakpoint is lv33 or lower then power up #3.
I'd also power up #5 to 32.5 (or whatever that Def14 breakpoint is).
I would say the low defense ones are nearly useless, but knowing me I'd hang on to them.
EDIT: looked up the breakpoint for Att10 and it is level 35. I can't advise spending that much dust on a gengar, but at LV 35, your PeterQuint would be as good as a gengar can get.
2nd Edit: you def. don't need more than 2 high lev gengar.
