Strategy Overview
Poison
Gengar's amazing Special Attack and Speed along with its solid Ghost typing give it a solid offensive role. However, it has major competition in Iron Moth, which has overall superior utility thanks to its higher bulk and Special Attack, usually performing better against most types.
