Who is Gengar
Gengar, a Ghost/Poison dual-type from Generation I, deceives with its playful appearance. Behind its spiked back and mischievous grin lurk crimson eyes that betray its predatory nature. This spectral entity thrives in shadows, delighting in psychological terror before striking unsuspecting victims.
Where to Catch It
Gengar appears most frequently as a Raid Boss, offering opportunities to capture its powerful Mega Evolution form. Wild encounters typically occur in abandoned areas where human presence is minimal.
For trainers preferring evolutionary paths:
- Capture Gastly during night hours (sunset to sunrise)
- Evolve Gastly into Haunter
- Subsequently evolve Haunter into Gengar
Tactics and Movesets
Optimal Moves:
- Fast Move: Lick
- Charged Move: Shadow Ball
Battle Performance:
- PVE (Raids/Gyms): Poor defensive capabilities
- PvP (Ultra League): Exceptional performance with Shadow Punch
- Weather Boost: Enhanced in foggy conditions
Weaknesses:
- Vulnerable to Dark, Ghost, Ground, and Psychic attacks
Strategic Considerations:
- Prioritize Mega Evolution for maximum attack potential
- Avoid Master League due to CP limitations
- Exercise caution in Great League due to fragility
While Gengar lacks defensive capabilities, its offensive prowess makes it a valuable addition to any trainer's roster. Have you experimented with Gengar in battles? Share your experiences below!
