Power up Gengar w/ legacy shadow claw?
I only have one level 26, 77IV Gengar 9/13/13 with the legacy shadow claw. Is it worth it to power him up?

I don´t think it´s worth it, what makes gengar a great attacker against psychic types is his awesome charge move shadow ball + stab. If he has shadow claw or hex or sucker punch, it doesn´t matter, hex and sucker punch load his charge move even faster, although shadow claw gives a little more damage as a fast move.
Soloing alakazam for example, what makes you beat the boss or not with confusion is fire 2 shadow balls instead 1, and to get it, you need a gengar at level 40 with 15iv Def and at least 13iv HP regardless his fast move. A level 40 Gengar with these IVs can take 4 confusions with no dodge and without faint.
