Power up this Gengar?
Is Gengar dust-worthy?
I have supposedly a great one - LV28, 14 ATK, 15 DEF, 15 STA with Hex/Shadow Ball.
I know it has the highest attack stat in the game, but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what it is good for.
It's ghost typing makes it unusable as a Blissey clean-up man (to take care of a few extra HP if my Exeggutor faints), ghost typing really isn't great for much.
Hex is slow, making dodging quick moves problematic.
It's too fragile to take on an Espeon effectively - the first Psybeam will probably off it. Umbreon has that job.
Just not sure if I power it up what I would use it for.

I won't. I have a decent amount of high level, high IV legacy Gengars and despite having the best legacy movesets, I won't bother spending dust on them. True, part of the reason for this is I can already use them but there are more specialized Pokémons for each type and Ghost isn't really a game breaker since their only targets are SE against them as well. Plus, you said it yourself... You don't know what to use it for.
Yeah, just did some sims with this guy in pokebattler.
He's useless.
An Espeon will off it with 4-5 confusions. Beating one would require perfect dodging and offing it before it fires futuresight. If it has psybeam, it has no chance.
Not especially effective against any of the Big 7 either.
I'll keep him around - won't relegate him to the suicide squad, but no dust for it either.
